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

[PrincessNoelle]

I have eight wizards. They all have been through Mooshu and been given the key. I have entered the test realm. I have gone to see Merle. (Who tell me there are dark times ahead and he has to study on them). I go to the Bartelby door. But when I select "Go To World" Dragonspyre is not one of the options.

Like many I am about a level 42 in the real game. Fully clear quest chart.
Pretty nifty clothes. When I enter test I am about Level 22, my old clothes, and quests left to do.

Is THAT why I can't get in? How did others get in? Were you "spiral keyed" a couple of months ago?

Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, your test wizard has to finish all the quests through Mooshu to be able to get access to Dragonspyre.

And as I understand it you have to be all the way through Moo Shu on the TEST REALM. (ouch!)

Have to see which of my eight characters is furthest along (according to the test realm).

Thanks to all of the advice and update.

The player data from the live server was physically copied over to the test server a few days before the test server was open to subscribers. If your character was not done in Mooshu at that point you will have to finish it in test. You might try your character that finished Mooshu first and see if it works. If it works Ambrose will have an exclamation point over his head and the quest will tell you to see Cyrus Drake.

Good luck. However a little birdy has told me that everything should be on live soon.

"Soon" as in grownup time which could be three months or more or "soon" as in kid time which is a week or less?

Don't worry, Bob, not fishing...well, not a lot.

Yesterday, I completed Dragonspyre (with my wizarding buddy, LafChill).

The final assault on Malistaire's lair took us over 3 hours to complete! It was quite a challenge -- not just because of the combat, but because of the numerous bugs we ran into along the way. Hopefully some of the kinks will be ironed out by the time it goes live.

Is this really the end of the game or is there room for other worlds.

There's room. After all, the Spiral Chamber door still has 3 vacant spaces on it. And there have been several references to other worlds (Grizzleheim, Celestia) found in the game.

Dragonspyre certainly seems to wrap up the Malistaire storyline. But who knows...?

Just posted on the Wizard home page by Professor Greyrose.

"Everyone, I'm very proud to announce that we will be opening up the new world of Dragonspyre on the LIVE Wizard101 game. At the same time we will be adding our new Player vs Player dynamic and lots of other goodies.


To add these and other enhancements to the live game, the Wizard101 game will be offline Monday January 19th starting at 3am central time and will be down until approximately 7am central time. This is a big update so there is a chance we will run past this four hour window, your patience is appreciated. "

So, I guess the "soon" was in kid time, not grownup time.

 

[LafChill]

But unless they've made major changes/fixes from the behavior yesterday... it will be in 'bug time' as well as 'kid time'.

I'm still trying to get through Mooshu but was wondering what kind of bugs you noticed in Dragonspyre?

 

[aengus]

Pretty cool stuff tho, I have gotten a few people from smallworlds I know addicted to wizards ROFL

I will have to send them over here to meet you guys, they are already passing me and I can no longer answer their questions

Dragonspyre and PvP Update

Everyone, I'm very proud to announce that TONIGHT we will be opening the new world of Dragonspyre LIVE on Wizard101. At the same time we will be adding our new Player vs Player dynamic and lots of other goodies.

The Wizard101 game will be offline Monday January 19th starting at 3am central time and will be down until approximately 7am central time. This is a big update so there is a chance we will run past this four hour window, once again your patience is appreciated.

During this downtime the Wizard101.com website may also be offline.

Now about Dragonspyre, those of you who have received the Spiral Key for Dragonspyre from Merle Ambrose on the Live game, will need to speak to him again for further instructions. From there, you will have a fun little adventure and in no time you will find yourselves looking at page 2 of the spiral chamber door menu.

A word about the Player vs Player. After testing the wagering system for Wizard101's Player vs Player tournament feature, we have decided that wagering will not transfer from the Test Realm to the live game. Therefore, there is no need to implement parental controls for this system. Subscribers will be able to gain Arena Tickets and buy lots of great gear. Free to Play and Access Pass Players can use our Practice Arenas to build their tactics.

For more information see our Player vs Player Guide.

In other news there are lots of little changes to our worlds.

New Starter Wand!



Say farewell to Felix Navidad, but as a final present, he has granted new spells to everyone’s starter wands, and has placed that wand in the Wizard City wand shop for those who no longer have their starter wand.

This is a ONE PIP wand, that includes spells from all schools except your main school of focus. This way you can see what other schools are like and what their strengths and weaknesses are by using the spells on this wand.

Above is an example of the Ice School starter wand. Once new players have completed Unicorn way, they will receive a zero pip wand for their school of focus.

New Character Page
The character page now shows your Crowns balance and Arena Tickets, plus your stats, badges, and PvP rankings in a new layout.

New Mini-Game - Dueling Diego! Check it out for yourselves in any Mini-Game area, or for a sneak peek, check out our Player's Guide.
________________________________________

Some small details:

• The "Mander Savior Badge" can now be obtained by completing Tomb of the Beguiler. Players will not need to redo this quest to receive the badge.
• Heckhound spell has a new attack, and also has its fiery breath back, thanks to a lozenge concocted by Falmea.
• Balance Schools’ Power Play now accurately affects your pips.
• The % symbol now appears beside the resist stats in your character page.
• Wizards will now hear the pitter patter of their little feet as they adventure through the Spiral.
• Spells have been added to existing Jack Frost and Santa's Little Helper pets.
• Treasure cards slots have been added to the Deck of Self Examination.
• Character selection screen locations should accurately reflect the last area your character was located when you logged off.
• Players who have been defeated in a team duel will no longer gain pips while they are in a defeated state.
• Those of you who were previously unable to enter the North Clock Tower in Newgate Prison to complete the 'Stop that Cat' quest, will now find they can enter the tower.
• You can now trade Treasure Cards while you are in combat, so stock a couple extra healing cards for friends in need!
• A chat submenu has been added to the Menu Chat system to allow players to communicate about Player vs. Player
• Prospector Zeke can be found in Dragonspyre, look for him for his quest, but he doesn't have any Crowns items to sell you yet.
• The Earn Crowns button can now be found in your Friends Panel. Remember if your friend is already playing Wizard101, you don't need to invite them.

See you in Dragonspyre, my precious little snowflakes!

 

[JGoof]

Omg did i get scared...

I come home from the office, run to my computer to start downloading the last update of Wizard 101, thinking Dragonspyer, here I come!!

The download finally completes and the character selection screen appears... Gilroy is not there...

There was only my two secondary wizards, both are still in Kroktopia...
I was seeing myself doing Marleybone all over again...

I exit the game, praying that he will be there when it reloads...

The character selection screens come back and PHEW!!! Gilroy is there... ...breathing...


I wish you don't have to go through that...

See you in the Dragon world!!

 

[bevgray]

Same thing happened to me, Gilroy. I thought Savannah was a gone goose. But she's happily in Dragonspyre now. Well, she was before they closed for server maintenance.

Wow!!! I just started on the test server. I guess I'm glad I didn't get very far.

I was actually a bit bored with it already but I'm hoping playing with friends will help!!

 

[aliceblue]

Congratulations to all of you who've been waiting so long for Dragonspyre to be released! I felt bad that many of you bought yearly subscriptions and were left with nothing to do after Mooshu.

As for me, I'm thoroughly relieved that the update did not add to the already huge amount of space that Wizard 101 takes up on my puny little hard drive. (Kind of a clincher for me not to continue into Marleybone and beyond; guess I'll be quite content with two worlds!)

Girl! You simply must get to Marleybone, if for nothing else, the clothes are awesome! lol I do know what you mean about the hard drive issues, I cannot play Wizard on my desktop. The lag is horrible! I've noticed it's bad on my notebook at certain times of the day, so I do try to avoid playing mid to late afternoons, when the kiddies are home from school. LOL
I have only just started Dragonspyre this afternoon and haven't gone far, but I can tell you that mazes don't thrill me. I may be there a while...if you'd like some company in Krokotopia, pm me! I'd be happy to play some Wizard with ya!

Just wait until you get the 3,000th quest to kill spiders in the Crystal Grove....

AMEN.
If I NEVER have to kill another spider I will be very happy.
I have arachno-annoyed syndrome.
