Wizard City – Olde Town – Roberto’s Sanctum

Simon’s Workshop is in the Sunken City, near the entrance from Nightside. Defeating this cheating boss will earn the Simon’s Bane badge.

 Farm Simon’s Workshop for Hairstyles like The Dreamweaver, The Manticore, The Restless Titan, The Raven Eye, and more.Daniel’s Answer of Life, a wand with five percent pierce can be found here.

Wizard City – Castle Darkmoor – Castle Darkmoor Gold Key Room

The Castle Darkmoor Gold Key Room is found in the stairway leading up to the observatory inside Castle Darkmoor, and requires a Gold Skeleton Key to enter. It can be accessed after the duel with Sir Blackwater and contains a Locked Chest.

Castle Darkmoor is an excellent place to farm for level 100 Mastery Amulets like the Death Mastery, Howling Werewolf’s Collar. The Mastery Amulets that drop here provide accuracy, damage, and a handy Shadow Shield. A few other notable drops include Gold Skeleton Keys and the Soulful Knight pet.

Wizard City – The Catacombs – Fathomless Tomb

The Fathomless Tomb Gold Key Room is inside the Catacombs, in the left corridor opposite to Viggor’s Tomb. It requires a Gold Skeleton Key to enter and contains the Boss, Fellspawn. Fellspawn grants different badges depending on the number of times you defeat him!

This is the place to farm if you are looking for the Vanguard’s Gear like Vanguard’s Shocking Boots, it also drops Dragoon’s Sets and Gold Skeleton Keys.

Strategy: Do not use blades. Use Feint, Mass Feint or traps instead. Fellspawn has two phases; Storm and Moon. While he is in either phase, your Wizard cannot blade. When he is in his Moon phase your Wizard cannot place traps on him, but previously placed traps will not be removed. The ideal team uses two hitters. One to focus on the boss, and other to focus on minions. Bad Juju and other weaknesses can be helpful here to reduce this Boss’s outgoing damage.

Wizard City – Ravenwood – Krampusgarten (Wooden, Stone, Gold Lock)

The Yuletide Feasting Hall connects to the following three instances, where Krampus can be fought:

  • Krampusgarten (Wooden Lock)
  • Krampusgarten (Stone Lock)
  • Krampusgarten (Gold Lock)

Krampus can be found during the Christmas event in:

This Room is a good place to farm for the Krampus’ Tolltaker wand, Christmas Items like the Yuletide Wood Paneling, Pets like Maple Moose or SnowballChristmas Seeds, and Mounts like Blue, Green and Red Candy-Canes

Strategy: The hitter should enter last. The team should blade the hitter to finish with a single attack on the third round. Krampus will remove any blades you cast on yourself, but not blades cast on someone else. To avoid Beguile, use a single attack. The hitter may blade himself using Aegis. Do not use Feint of any kind.

Fire Guide to Max Damage

Guess which school has the highest damage boost of all the schools in the game?

Storm?

WRONG!

Fire currently boasts higher damage than Storm. Weird right? This is a trend that’s been happening since Polaris where the fire school gear has been getting higher damage than the storm school. Currently, the max damage the Fire school can output is 190%.

 Sadly, this damage is pretty much just for show, as you’ll find with the other max damage guides in this series.

So sit back and run around the commons showing off your total damage.

Disadvantages

Pretty much all of your other stats will be sacrificed for this build, but as I said before, this is a build to impress, not a necessarily a build you should use in a battle.

While Fire still boosts higher than Storm, Storm spells still have higher base damage, which sometimes goes over Fire’s total damage output in battle, or equals it. 

What you will need:

Hat: Fiery Paradox Hat (Dropped by Vigilant Sargun and Titan’s Trident in Empyrea)

Robe: Royal Fusilier’s Dress Robe (130+) (Dropped from the Yuletide Pack)

Boots: Fiery Paradox Boots (Dropped by Vigilant Sargun and Titan’s Trident in Empyrea)

Wand: Nimbari Centurion Scimitar (130+) (Dropped from the Nimbari Hoard Pack)

Ring: Duelist’s Daredevil Ring (130+) (PVP item Sold by Brandon Mistborn in Unicorn Way)

Athame: Edge of the Shadow Web (Dropped from Death Morganthe)

Amulet: Medallion of the Lower Zigazag (Dropped from Moh’Lharz in the Lower Zigazag)

Pet (2.0): Fire Dealer, Fire Giver, Pain Giver, Pain Bringer, Fire Boon, Mighty or Cautious Jewel

Deck: Ice Deckathalete’s Deck 4 (Deckathalon event)

Mount: Fire Ghulture (Ghulture’s Hoard Pack)

 

Gear Calculation Chart

Alternatives

If necessary,  you can switch out the ring and deck and you’ll still have super high damage (180+) that you can use in any battle. This will decrease your damage a little, but will allow you to use your damage outside of PVP and give you access to a TC and main deck.

 

Ring: You can use Mithraya’s Blazing Loop, available for level 120+


Deck: You can use the Case of Engulfing Flames, available for level 93+. 

Let’s ignite these flames together! Get it, Flames? Fire? 

Keep your eyes open for upcoming guides for all the schools very soon!

Let us know in the comments below if you have a way to boost your Fire even more without the aid of an NPC or elixir.

Check out the rest of our Gear Guides, we have a guide for every school at Ravenwood Academy!

Visionary Storm 100% Critical and Max Damage Guide

Ah the Storm school! The hardest hitting school and the easiest school to hit 100% critical. It is also the easiest school to balance super high damage with super high critical. Storm eclipses the other schools in that department but that’s not surprising since that’s what storm is all about, hitting high while trying not to die very quickly (intended shade). Currently, there are many methods to gain high damage and max critical with this school. We’ll explore the one that gives the highest damage while maintaining 100% critical. The current highest damage storm can achieve with 100% critical is 165% damage. The critical amount goes to 842 which is 100%.

 

 

Benefits

The Storm school is the hardest hitting school in the game. This means that they can end battles really fast. They have the highest critical in the game as well as the highest pierce. Their attacks are pretty deadly if they hit you directly. They also have quite a few spells that remove blades which is pretty cool, unless you’re fighting against one of course.

Problems

With this gear build, there are just a few problems you will run into. I would say not much is sacrificed compared to the other schools since this area is Storm’s specialty. If you run this gear you will have to sacrifice pierce, and a little bit of resist but you should be fine. Some schools will have to give up these factors along with accuracy but with this build, Storm usually maintains high accuracy. The other problem that you will encounter, which is not just native to this build, is health. Storm is notorious for their low health so this gear setup just reflects that.

What you’ll need

Robe: Malistaire’s Cloak of Flux

Hat: Stormy Paradox Conical

Boots: Stormy Paradox Boots

Wand: Sky Captain’s Boarding Hook

Pet: Triple damage Double critical pet with a Cautious Jewel

Athame: Aphrodite’s Storm of Thorns (with two (2) +18 critical Amethyst jewels)

Ring: Stormy Paradox Ring (With one (1) +18 critical Amethyst jewel)

Amulet: Flygob’s Medallion

Mount: Storm Ghulture

Deck: Stormy Paradox Deck

Total Damage: 165%
Total Critical: 842 (100%)

Storm Gear Setup

Calculations

 

Alternative Gear/Recommendations

So with the following gear on, Storm usually maintains 165% damage with 100% critical. The alternative gear will be shown at the end. You can also use the Lady of Spider’s Lure Amulet from Morganthe instead of the Flygob’s Medallion which will give you two extra blades.

 

What you’ll need

Robe: Malistaire’s Cloak of Flux

Hat: Stormy Paradox Conical

Boots: Stormy Paradox Boots

Wand: Wysteria Warrior’s Longsword (level 130+)

Pet: Triple damage Triple Critical pet

Athame: Aphrodite’s Storm of Thorns (with two (2) +18 critical Amethyst jewels)

Ring: Stormy Paradox Ring (With one (1) +18 critical Amethyst jewel)

Amulet: Flygob’s Medallion

Mount: Storm Ghulture

Deck: Stormy Paradox Deck

Total Damage: 160%
Total Critical: 838 (100%)

Storm Gear Setup

Calculations

Gear Calculations

Thanks for reading my guide on achieving 100% Storm critical in Wizard101. I hope it will help your Storm Wizard hit like a Hurricane as you explore the Spiral with your friends from Ravenwood Academy.

Ice Guide to 100% Critical

You probably thought it was impossible to get 100% critical plus high damage with the Ice school, huh? Well, you’re wrong!

With Ice, this is the most difficult school to get 100% critical, even more so with balancing high damage with it. Ice doesn’t have the privilege of having high critical items compared to the other schools. For example, Jack Hallow’s wand sets all have 195 critical while the ice version is much lower. From my calculations, this Ice setup should give you 845 critical and 123% damage.

Benefits of the Ice School

The Ice school is a very powerful school in Wizard101. They have the highest amount of health and resist in the game. You’d think the Life school would take the trophy in that department. Ice is very flexible in the sense that they can defend, they can attack and they can assist their allies with shields in a battle. Usually, when I see an Ice character in PVP, I get scared since they can hit very hard with their spells yet defend themselves well.

Problems with this build

Well, Ice shouldn’t be a school that runs this build since their health decreases by a bit along with some other stats since the robe we’ll be using decreases health. We’re only using it because it increases damage by a lot. A substitute would be to use the Frosty Light Brigade Armor instead even though it will decrease the damage. At least you’ll still critical every Ice spell. I figured this school would be at a higher disadvantage than the others since KingsIsle built the Ice school to be a more defence-driven school which explains their resist and insane health. Personally, for this build, I’d replace some of the critical talents on the pet with more damage and replace the amulet with Morganthe’s Gem of the Grand Prophecy (gives 2 extra ice blades) but you can play around with it.

What you’ll need:

Robe: Glorious Avenger’s Armor

Hat: Icy Paradox Conical

Boots: Icy Paradox Boots

Wand: Polarian Explorer’s Pickaxe

Pet: Double damage quad critical pet

Athame: Shadow Spider’s Sting (with two (2) +18 critical Sapphire jewels)

Ring: Icy Paradox Ring (With one (1) +18 critical Sapphire jewel)

Amulet: Amulet of Neverwhere

Mount: Ice Ghulture

Deck: Icy Paradox Deck

Total Damage: 123%

Total Critical: 845 (100%)

Gear Setup

Gear Setup Note: You can alternatively use Morganthe’s Amulet (Gem of the Grand Prophecy) which gives 2 extra Ice Blade cards. It will just decrease the critical by 5 which still would register as 100%.

Gear Calculations

I hope you enjoyed my guide on how to unleash the critical potential of Ice school. Let it turn your snowstorms into  Blizzards, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Check out the rest of our Gear Guides, we have a guide for every school at Ravenwood Academy!

Balance 100% Critical Guide

Ah the school of Balance! Arguably one of the hardest schools to beat in PVP. In addition, they can also achieve max critical and high damage. With this setup you can get around 130% damage and 839 critical.

Benefits of the Balance School

The Balance school is really amazing. They’re one of the most feared schools in PVP. Loremaster, Mana Burn and Supernova can all be deadly spells when used correctly. I usually always lose to Balance in PVP, so I hate going up against them.
 
Their wide variety of spells can prove to be very useful in certain situations. Yet, one disadvantage they have that isn’t shared with the other schools is a prism card. This forces them to fight Balance bosses without the option of a hit conversion spell. This can be very annoying in PVE. You’re forced to ask for help, which is not always possible since some dungeons are solo.

disadvantages of this build

 
 Of course when you boost certain stats, you run the risk of decreasing the others. In this case, pierce and power pip chance and resist might be reduced. You don’t really see many Balances running around with 100% critical these days. This is solely because they don’t really like sacrificing other valuable stats. However, it’s always nice to critical every hit you use.
 
For this build I would use the Morganthe’s Shadow of Amber amulet because of the extra blades. You can swap it out for the Darkmoor alternative if you’d like. It would increase your critical by 5 and increase your pierce a little.
 
Personally, I would adjust the pet slightly to allow for more damage. This would decrease your critical, but it would still be high enough to achieve regular critical hits. That’s the beauty about customizing your load out to your own specifications. You can adjust the damage and critical to suit you, as long as you don’t decrease one of them too much.
 
Another disadvantage is that the Balance school doesn’t have the 3% damage Ghulture mount. Unlike the other Ghulture mounts, it caps it at 2% which is unfortunate. This is because the Balance Ghulture gives universal damage, not school specific damage.

Visionary Fire 100% Critical and Max Damage Guide

This is a guide on achieving high damage and 100% critical for Fire school at Visionary, currently max level 130. It is possible for all the schools in the Spiral to attain 100% critical. However, when you boost a particular stat, you decrease others. With this critical and damage build you will sacrifice resist, pierce and power-pip chance.

Note: All pets must be 2.0 (or max stats) for this guide to be successful.

Fire School

Ah the school of fire. This is my main school and I use this build questing anywhere outside of Empyrea. With my guide, Fire school can get 157% damage and 100% critical. This is one of the highest critical builds in the game, second only to Storm. 

Advantages of the Fire School

One of the main advantages of fire school is the d.o.t.s. or, damage over-time spells. With this build, fire dots or other spells can wipe out mobs in a single turn. You will also have over 6k health with this gear set. This high health is a huge advantage over the storm school, which boasts higher damage.

What You’ll Need:

The gear you need:

Robe: Radiant Light Brigade Armor

Hat: Fiery Paradox Hat

Boots: Fiery Paradox Boots

Wand: Kapudan’s Boarding Hook

Pet: Quad critical Double damage pet

Athame: Edge of the Shadow Web (with two (2) +18 critical ruby jewels)

Ring: Fiery Paradox Ring (With one (1) +18 critical ruby jewel)

Amulet: Talisman of the Daystar

Mount: Fire Ghulture

Deck: Fiery Paradox Deck

Total Damage: 157% 
Total Critical: 839 (100%)

Gear Build

Alternative Gear for high damage and 100% critical

 This setup is the previous Max damage and 100% crit that fire could have gotten before the new Sinbad and the Iron Sultan gear. This gives you 149% critical and 100% critical. 

What you’ll need

The gear you need:

Robe: Radiant Light Brigade Armor

Hat: Fiery Paradox Hat

Boots: Fiery Paradox Boots

Wand: Jack Hallows wand

Pet: Quint damage critical pet
