Non-Disney Online Games (Wizard 101) Quest Tips & Help Thread!

[HappyGoLucky]

Power Pips:

For me, I noticed that it seemed I was getting several power pips when I was in Wizard City, but when I went to Krok or Marleybones I didn't get as many pips (which is where I needed them, I don't need them too much in Wizard City lol).

Team Wizard play:

I (Life/Balance L29) mostly play with my DH (Myth/Balance L29), and as a team we're doing well.

I stopped getting Balance spells after the first three (Weakness, Scarab, and Scorpion). I use mostly just my Life spells because of the power pips (I do have Scorpion and Weakness in my deck, I removed Scarab). I do use Weakness often, since it uses zero pips. I also have a Ghoul pendant, that I really like to use (my DH has the Lightning Bats pendant that he likes to use). I now have, I think, five unused training points that I have no idea what I'm going to do with them lol.

We both try and obtain the most HP/MP that we can (mostly getting as much HP as we can). Does anyone have any reasons why we should be going for high defense (Shield), or high offense (Fist) instead? Or maybe a combo of HP/defense/offense?

Solo Wizard:

But I would also like to play solo, so is anyone here successfully playing solo? I assume that on occassion you may want or need help, but do you play solo most of the time? If so, what school major/minor are you? What is your strategy? Are you enjoying it? And any other information that you think may be helpful lol. Thanks!

I find that I'm playing solo the majority of the time. I do ask for help from time to time, but I felt pretty accomplished that I got through Freddy Nine Lives last night (and yes, they weren't kidding on THAT score!) by myself. I would full up some health wisps until my mana levels were low enough that I could just "potion up". I leveled up to 28 yesterday, too.

I'm a Life/Myth wizard, but I'm more loaded with Life spells than anything else. I have Kroktopia clothing still, as it has enough health/pips/power that I want. My athame is going towards health spell output, and my ring is going for pips. I think I'm at 36% pips. I have mostly fairies, a couple sprites, a sprite guardian minion, and a satyr I've kept in my deck. My minion and satyr are 4-pips, so I hesitate to use them at times. Oh, and my pendant is something I bought in Marleybone. I used to have the bats. Now I have the Guiding Light cards to boost health. When I had combined that with my satyr, it gives 1200+ health.

After I defeated Freddy, I got a new spell, a 5-pip card, Regeneration. It allegedly gives over 1100 health, 53 the first round and the rest over two other rounds. I put one of them in my deck but haven't tried it. I'm so curious to see it in action!

I find it difficult to figure out to keep shields, traps and blades in my deck. I never know what proportion to keep. I only have shields that keep out life, death and myth. I tend to get blasted by lots of fire and ice for some reason.

If I'm going to battle alongside any death or myth wizards, I will use my Spirit Trap on the bad guy, because I could use my life cards while they can use their myth or death cards on the same enemy and we'll all get the boost.
Enemies seem to attack me more than others. I will either give myself health, or if I'm ok, I'll try to give others health. It seems to work pretty well with teamwork.

 

[HappyGoLucky]

Thanks for the info BriarRosie!

My HP is 1644 and I have a 2% Shield for all Schools. My MP is 194. Pips = 26% (I think this percentage is with a 3% boost, so without that I would only have 23%). I would like to increase my pip percentage, but I would have to sacrifice HP and I'm not sure if that would be a good idea.

I'm not too sure about the Shields in my deck either. I have one Spirit Armor, I like it, but it uses so many pips. I really like the Lifeblade, it really boosts Nature's Wrath and Seraph. Also I use the Weakness a lot because it makes the bad guys damage us less. I don't use Calm, Life Shield, Legend Shield, Life Trap, or Life Prism.

I haven't put the Satyr in my deck yet because he uses so many pips and is only 90%, right now I like my Fairy at two pips and 100%.

I currently have the Freddy Quest, but haven't started it yet (I don't think I can get to Chelsea Court yet lol). I would like to finish the quest, but from the sounds of it that spell uses too many pips for me lol.

Hmmm.... I might be wrong on this... it looks like, maybe, we can go straight to Grubb.... just can't find anyone to join in right now.

edit: Yep!! Can go straight to Grubb to finish the battle off!! Woot!! (wish we could say that on Wiz101). Thanks to Padric and the two others that assisted!! (sorry I can't remember your names)

Gouldengourd, just holler if you want me to join you!!!!

Oh please oh please let that work for me too. I wasn't even sure I would ever try again. I don't know if when I can get back on this week, but sure hope that straight to Grubb will be there for me too! So very glad you got to finish it, I felt so bad that I had let you down!

 

[Belle1997]

Well I am motoring right along now at level 20.

The only thing I really do not like about the game. Is when you and a teammate have battled 2 meanies. We are down to our last spells for victory and wham another player shows up meaning you have to battle another beastie. Which in most cases is ok but some times you do not have the needed health for this.

I do understand people being pulled in by accident yes that happens. I so appreciate when they say sorry did not mean to get here. I spent my first few days having fight after fight cause I could not walk straight So they need a tab that says that if a person can not talk with typing. BUt when it happens time after time my happy wizard is not too too happy

Need a away to block them which should make others happy because that means they would not be pulled in to a fight they had not planned :

Win win for everyone.

I hope they work on something to stop players from doing this. Really messes with your Karma

Oh and I am majoring in ice and minoring in life with a side order of death

 

[swimmingneno]

I wasn't having a problem with the pips and the cards but I was with the potion bottle. I started a new wizard - a death/myth - that I am having a lot of fun with. My other wizard is Life/storm. I only have one potion bottle for the death/myth wizard. I would play games to fill it and then when I needed it in battle, it would be empty!

Woot!! having a great time also!! It is odd, since both of my people are the same 2 combo's odd eh?

 

[BlueSneakerGal]

Oh gosh, you didn't let me down at all!! Was just bad luck, I think. Like I said before, two times out of four, I made it back to Grubb without getting pulled into a fight... I just fled and refilled my potion bottle and went right back in. If you make it back there and I'm online, I'll drop everything to help!!

I spent my first few days having fight after fight cause I could not walk straight

OK. This made me laugh out loud in real!! I have so been there!

Sorry I missed you this morning, was helping out Padric and Flying Pegasus. And, one of the kids on my list had jumped in to 'help' (annoy some) so the last place was filled up. Believe me, we wished you had been the one in his place! lol I hate it when these kids have limited chat only and WON't listen to what you are trying to tell them! lol Ok rant over...lol I keep having to take these kids off of my list.

Looking forward to catching you somewhere else.

I want to thank you and Cat again for helping me get through Conterweight East & West, and then getting me through Big Ben.

They were all 14 plus levels of bad guys to fight all in one sitting.

I am sorry I got a little upset with that kid yesterday in Big Ben.

Note to those attempting Big Ben: Make sure everyone on your team - and yes you need a team to get through it - knows that you are the one that has to do the lights on the floor for the puzzle.

This kid was helping us and he kept running around and lighting all the lights. I kept telling him to please stop and let me do it in the proper order or we would not advance to the next level of the quest. After about 15 minutes of pleading with him, cat finally got him distracted in a conversation long enough for me to shut off all the lights and then light them in the proper order.

I am so glad to be out of Marleybone, it was so tough running those rooftops without being caught in a battle.

I am having fun exploring Mooshu now, but if anyone needs help in a battle please let me know. I may not be good getting to the battles on Marleybone, but this level 37 fire/life wizard can help to knock out the bad guys once you get to the battle!

Thanks also to Cat for showing me how the "Wildfire" spell works, I really enjoy using it. The effects are so cool and it adds 25% to all fire spells anybody casts for the rest of the battle.

We also had another kid helping us the other day and he was getting mad at us for just throwing out shields instead of spells. Once we explained what we were doing he was ok with it.

When you get to the higher levels, you need to throw out your zero pip shields and spells, in order to get enough pips saved up to wipe them all out with a couple of rank 5 or 6 spells.

See you all in the game!

LEVEL 14 BAD GUYS???????

 

[FlyingPegasus]

LEVEL 14 BAD GUYS???????

Sorry, not level 14 bad guys.

There were 14 levels or stories in each of the towers that you have to go through.

Each level had 2-4, rank 4, 5 & 6 bad guys in it.

Once you start in a tower you have to get to the top all in one sitting or you have to start at the bottom again.

 

[FlyingPegasus]

Has anyone else had this problem?

I am in the Tatakai Outpost. My quest is to defeat an Otomo Mercenary and get a Gold Medallion from him.

I have fought like 20 of these (2 at a time) and I have not yet received the medallion.

Has anyone made it past this part of the quest??

Ah, OK. But 14 stories is a little intimidating as well!! We'll see if I ever make it that far.

One of these days, Aengus is going to pass me by and then, I think, it's all over for me.

Some of the kids on my list kept doing that to me this weekend too! So annoying! And of course it's always the kids on limited chat! They just can't figure out for themselves don't jump in without asking! lol

Oh Bevgray! I didn't really try to abandon you tonight, but there must be a bug in the clock tower in Chelsea Court. It won't load and now that dratted bug has me locked into it and I can't even get back into the game! It takes me right back to that bug and dumps me back off the game or back to the main start up page! Ouch!
Well hopefully they will read my message and get back to me quickly or get me unstuck from that mode quickly! I suppose I'm off to read for the evening! lol
Kim

PSA! Don't try the Clockwork Tower quest in Chelsea Court right now anyone!

 

[bevgray]

I wondered where you got to. Sorry I wasn't able to help you. We'll try later. Don't worry. After I lost you, I just went and did some of my little quests. Nice thing about this game is there is always some little chore to work on when you can't quest with friends.

poor fly that happened to me, i am still stuck in wizard city log out then in

and why do i need to start grubb agan

 

[debbi801]

There must have been something going on last night. I was doing the fang quest on Krokosphynx. I think I was battling Defender of the Fang. I would finally kill them both but before I could go turn on the obelisks in the right order, the boss would return to battle me again by herself. This happened so many times, i lost count. It seemed like I was fizzling like crazy last night. At one point, even when I tried to cast a protection shield on myself (100% success rate), I was still fizzling.

Then, (and I know this isn't a bug, just me slipping up) I finally managed to succeed at beating all 3 bosses and solving the puzzles, and in going back to the main quest door, I accidentally brushed too close to the entrance and it kicked me back to Entrance Hall. Then, it wanted me to start the quest all over and battle the 3 bosses again. I decided to quit for the night.

 

[BriarRosie]

Well, I finally tried out the new spell I got for defeating Freddy Nine Lives.

Regenerate.

I will hereby officially call it:

The Finger of God.

Seriously! It's hilarious! Of course it's a 5-pip spell, but boy, is it effective! Once you cast it, clouds form in the sky, and the Finger of God comes down to point his Healing Finger at you.

It's like having Sprite power on steroids.

You get healed over three rounds, and let me tell you, I used it with the guiding light booster when I was really depleted, and I was back at full health very quickly.

I only wish others were around to see it. It was really cool to watch.

 

[Belle1997]

Any ice people out there. Ok I am at level 21 I was just wondering what level or quest do ice get blizzard magic or if they do. I have one training point and it says I can get it at level 22 but do not want to waste it. If I will be winning that spell. Thanks.

Not an ice person but it looks like the Blizzard spell is earned at level 26. Spells within your main school do not require a training point -they are free once you have reached the required level.

btw - it looks like Ice Wyvern is your upcoming level 22 spell.
