Crafting101 – Storm Spells

Today I will explain how to craft the Storm school spells you can’t get from questing and leveling up. I will also tell you where to get the reagents you need fast!

Recipe Vendor Location

The Storm school spells we will be crafting are Calypso and Catalan. To buy the recipes you will go through the Wild to the Wyrd then into Dun Scaith. Once inside you will see the Indigo Giant, a Rank 12 Storm Boss with 14,150 Health. If you are careful, you can walk around the outer edge of the battle circle to reach Grady, the recipe vendor.

Spell Vendor

After the fight, visit Grady to buy the recipes for Catalan and Queen Calypso.

Catalan Recipe

Catalan is a Rank 5 spell that does 700 base Storm damage. While dealing impressive damage, Catalan also gives a 25% accuracy debuff. This makes it a useful card for both PvP and PvE. You can buy the recipe for 60,000 gold.

To craft Catalan, you will need the following Treasure Cards and Reagents:

6 – Catalan Treasure Cards
100 – Perfect Amethyst
200 – Ghost Fire
100 – Water Lily
100 – Bronze Gear
50 – Spring
50 – Sunstone
12 – Amber

Queen Calypso Recipe

Queen Calypso is one of the newer spells in the game. If you are very lucky you can get it from the Immortal’s Lore Pack. Queen Calypso does 445-505 base Storm damage. Calypso also puts a 20% Windstorm on the opponent before the hit strikes, to strengthen the attack! Queen Calypso is very popular for Storm PvP. You can buy the recipe for 60,000 gold.

To craft Queen Calypso, you will need the following Treasure Cards and Reagents:

10 – Queen Calypso Treasure Cards
120 – Perfect Onyx
200 – Ghost Fire
120 – Bloodmoss
120 – Bone
60 – Spring
60 – Sunstone
18 – Amber

Where to get the Treasure Cards and Reagents!

Catalan Treasure Card & Queen Calypso Treasure Card: One of the best places to get both of these treasure cards is from the Bazaar in Wizard City. Many wizards also farm Loremaster or trade with friends to get the 10 needed to craft the spell.

Perfect Amethyst:
You can buy Perfect Amethyst from the NPC Archytas who is in the Celestia Base Camp

Ghost Fire:
You can buy Ghost Fire for 100 Gold a piece, in the Atheneum. From the NPC Zolton Nightstone. You can also get ghost fire from Archytas.  

Water Lily:
Cat tails drop water lilies as a rare harvest. You can farm Triton Avenue for Water Lily by looking for reagents and switching realms! If you’re lucky, you can also buy Water Lily from the Bazaar!

Bronze Gear:
You can buy transmute Bronze Gear from Avery Templeton for 150 gold. It takes 5 Spider Silk to craft! It is commonly found in the Bazaar.

Spring:
One of my favorite places to get Spring is from Counterweight East in Marleybone. It is dropped along with Scrap Iron. You can also find it in the Bazaar.

Sunstone:
You can buy Sunstone from Diego The DuelMaster in Unicorn Way for 200 Arena Tickets. You can also get Sunstone in the Bazaar or buy the transmute recipe from Avery Templeton in Celestia, Base Camp. 

Perfect Onyx:
You can buy Perfect Onyx from the NPC Archytas who is lalso ocated in the Celestia Base Camp

Blood Moss:
You can buy transmute Blood Moss from Avery Templeton for 400 gold. You will need 15 Red Mandrake to transmute one blood moss.

Bone:
The best place to get Bone is the Bazaar!

Amber:
Amber can be purchased for arena tickets from Brandon Mistborn. One of my favorite places to get Amber is by farming Gladiator Dimachaerus in Mount Olympus. There are many seeds that can give Amber one of the most popular is King Parsley.

I enjoy the quick damage and extra utility these spells offer my Storm Wizard. I hope you enjoy crafting and using them too. I will be watching for any questions in the comments below!

Castle Magic Triggers II

Introduction

This guide is a continuation of the first castle magic triggers guide. I have gone through each castle magic trigger and assigned a difficulty of use to each one. This guide will cover intermediate triggers, another guide will cover advanced. Each section will name the trigger, what it does, and how to use it. I will explain the difficulty level and give an example of how I like to use these tools in my own designs.

Intermediate Triggers

These triggers are more complicated to use than the beginning triggers. Generally they serve very important purposes to Castle Magic. If an item requires unique input or separate data values it is Intermediate. If a trigger is not intuitive with other Castle Magic mechanics it is intermediate.

Magic Reflector

  • The Magic Reflector is one of the most essential castle magic triggers. The purpose of the magic reflector is to cast many spells at once. There can be a single target or different ones. You need to use another castle magic trigger to trigger this one. The only way to activate a Reflector is to target it with the “Activate Reflector” spell. The number of uses for reflectors are endless. I use one in almost every single build. For example, if you want to make an entire structure grow larger at once, use a reflector to target each piece. This way works without using a significant amount of triggers.

Magic Random Reflector

  •  As you can tell by the name, the magic random reflector is very similar to the magic reflector. It functions identically to the magic reflector except for one small difference. Instead of activating all eight spells at once, it picks one at random each time. Uses for this are more specific than the uses for the original magic reflector, due to it’s unusual nature. If you want to give a house a haunted vibe and have things happen randomly, this item would be the best tool for the job. 

Magic Timer

  • The magic timer is the next most versatile castle magic trigger. The magic timer has two main sections. An “On” timer counts down, then right afterwards an “Off” timer counts down. When each timer reaches zero, a spell is cast. You can set the timer to be activated by another trigger and to only count once or repeat. This is a more difficult trigger to master due to its additional options. You can access the additional options menu by pressing the “Magic Item Options” button. There are many uses for this, but the most common use is when you want a spell to be cast continuously. For example, if you want to make something stay large, you can set a magic timer to cast “Make Larger” and repeat.

Magic Player Detector

  • This item has some niche uses and is always worth keeping in mind. The magic player detector detects when a player walks on it or steps off. It’s a simple item to use except for an extra option. This option allows you to make the detector ignore the owner of the house. To use the player detector place it where you want players to walk. Then place the spells you want to cast. I like to use these when I want to surprise a friend. A spell will cast in front of the player when they walk on the spot you placed the detector on.

Magic Room Detector

  • The Magic Room Detector is the Player Detector’s older brother. The interface for this item is like the player detector’s, except the options include four sizes. The room detector senses when a player enters an area as opposed to a specific spot. I find this tool very useful, since the location players need to walk in is less precise. Use this tool like the player detector when you want to detect in a zone as opposed to a single spot. 

Magic Counter

  • The Magic Counter has an internal counter that keeps track of a number. The counter casts spells based on how that number relates to a value set by the player in the options. When the number is adjusted up or down the counter updates and casts another spell. This is useful when you want a spell to cast up until a certain point. If you wanted to use a timer to make an object larger only a few times, a magic counter would work well.

Magic Jump Detector

  • The Magic Jump Detector detects when nearby players jump and casts a spell. This item has the same option menu as the room detector. Pick a border size to detect within and whether you want to count the house owner. One fun example of a jump detector is to create an elevator. Use it to move a platform up when a player in the area jumps. This allows the player to determine how high they want to go before jumping off.

Magic Text Detector

  • The Magic Text Detector detects when nearby players send a menu chat message that you choose. To use it you pick a menu chat phrase and spell size in the additional options menu. Then, when a player in the area uses the menu chat phrase, the spell will cast. This is most useful in my experience for secret doors. Most players do not use menu chat so you could use it to password protect a special secret area.

Conclusion

That completes my intermediate Castle Magic Trigger guide. The advanced triggers will be covered soon, so practice these now. If you have any questions about these triggers or Castle Magic in general let me know in the comments below.

Flat Stat Jewels101

The Misconception

Flat jewels are a misinterpreted stat for Wizard101. They have been since the beginning of the Spiral’s time. In fact, most players get rid of these jewels thinking they have no value. But it’s not true! I’ve used them since their introduction into the game. Many of my solo runs are successful because of these resist jewels.

How they work

Flat stat jewels come in two main categories: offensive and defensive. The offensive stats boost your damage while the defensive absorb incoming damage. These stats are static, meaning that pierce does not affect flat resistance. Likewise, flat damage is not hindered by resistance in its final value!
 

Being careful with calculations

Many online sources that mention flat stat jewels are incorrect. Here are the stats for my testing. Let’s use it as an example to see the calculations.
 

Example: (From my solo run of Grandfather Spider – lvl 120)

Mathematical functions for calculating stats

1.) For your attacks:
[(your spell X (1 + damage%) + flat damageX buffs (1+/-Blades)

2.) For resisting incoming attacks:
[(incoming damage – flat resist) X (1 – resist%)]X buffs (1+/-Traps)

The concept of flat jewels is the same for flat damage and flat resistance!

Simplifying the math

Let’s assume you’re about to take an attack dealing 1000 base damage. Flat resist works like an absorb. In this example it will remove 50 damage points from every school and 158 from Shadow School, before regular resist takes damage.
 
So, what if the situation changed where the attack does 4000 damage?
 
The jewels would still absorb 50 damage points from every school and 158 from Shadow School attacks. Then our percent resistance would reduce the rest of the remaining damage.
 
For X damage, we will absorb 50 from every school and 158 from Shadow School.
 
 
Adding the flat jewels to our percent resistance:

Resistance for X incoming damage:
Storm: 71% + 50
Ice: 72% + 50 
Fire: 51% + 50
Myth: 29% + 50
Life: 29% + 50 
Death: 29% + 50
Shadow: 29% + 158

Using Brace (-20% to incoming attacks) stacks to the player’s resistance:

Storm: 71+ 20 = 96%+50
Ice: 72 + 20 = 92%+50
Fire: 51 + 20 = 76%+50
Myth: 29 + 20 = 49%+50
Life: 29 + 20 = 49%+50
Death: 29 + 20 = 49%+50
Shadow: 29 + 20 = 49%+158

Grandfather Spider’s Stats

Grandfather Spider has a universal 120% damage boost, 7% universal pierce, and 20% fire resistance. His attacks are not only of the school of storm, but also of the Shadow School. He also has Balance Mastery and uses 3 Balance spells.
 
His natural attacks deal 330 X 14 = 4620 base shadow damage if he has max power pips!
 
[(spell’s max damage X (1 + damage%) + total flat damage] X buffs
 
If buffs = 0
total flat damage = 0
 
[(4620 X ( 1 + 120%)] X buffs = (4620 X 2.2) = 10,164!
 
So , we should prepare for Storm and Shadow hits.
 
An average 6 pip natural Shadow attack of his would deal:
 
6 X 330 = 1980 X 2.2 = 4356 damage, and that number will double if he lands a critical!
 
The spell “Rusalka’s Wrath (Shadow)” without any blades or traps deals:
 
[(spell base damage X (1 + damage%) + total flat damage] X buffs= [1445 X (1 + 120%)] = 3179 damage!
 
Let’s compare possible damage taken with or without some of these  stats:
 
If I hadn’t put brace on myself, it would be:
My Shadow resist: 29 – 7 (pierce) = 22 (incoming damage – total flat resist) X (1-resist%) =  3179 X (1 – 22%) = 3179 X 0.78= 2480!
 
My Shadow resist: 49 – 7% (due to pierce) = 42% base resistance. Now continue with the rest of the equation:
(incoming damage – total flat resist) X (1 – resist%) = (3179 – 158) X (1 – 42%) = 3021 X 0,58  = 1752
 
If I wasn’t wearing gear equipped with jewels, the resulting damage would be:
(incoming damage – total flat resist) X (1 – resist%) = (3179 – 0) X (1 – 42%) = 3179 X 0.58 = 1844
 
The difference between 1844 damage and 1752 is due to the flat stat jewels!
 
The differences might seem minor, but if you combine jewels in different pieces of gear, you will notice that they make a big difference.
 

Flat damage jewels work the same way

Here’s a hypothetical example in this specific fight
My damage is 104

When I cast the spell Fire From Above on Grandfather Spider, he receives damage according to our 1st mathematical function: With a nice Backdraft = 210% 
[[(your spell X (1 + damage%) + total flat jewels damage] X buffs(blades)] = [[1400 X ( 1 + 104%)]  = (1400 X 2.04) = 2856
 
*Attention! Not include all the decimals results in two formulas, rounds down after each calculation.
The exception for that rule, is only in the pets damage or resistance! We need exactly the percent of the pets to calculated correctly!
 
My spell with traps deals to Grandfather Spider:
Flat resist=0
Buffs=210
Grandfather resist on fire (due to pierce) = 20-22= 0 
 
[(incoming damage – flat resist) X (1 – resist%)]X buffs(traps)=
(2856 X 1) Χ (1+210%= 2856 Χ (1+210%) =  Χ 3,1 = 8853   
 
But if I had two flat damage jewels (fire), let’s say 50 points worth: [[(your spell X (1 + damage%) + total flat  damage] X buffs] =  [1400 X (1 + 104%)+ 50] = [(1400 X 2.04) + 50] = 2856 + 50 = 2906
 
[(incoming damage – flat resist) X (1 – resist%)]X buffs(traps)=
(2906 X 1) Χ (1+210%)= 2906 Χ 3,1 = 9008   
 
Don’t forget that since Grandfather Spider has shields, the actual number would be less. This was just a quick example with math!
 
As you can see, flat stat jewels can help our fights in their own way.
 
I hope this makes you think twice before tossing those flat stat jewels away! I have shown my stats below for convenience. Thank you as always, and best of luck questing!
 
*You can see the stats which I used for the above calculations as well as my gear, in the following pictures.
Also, you can see the battle that I describe above from my solo video at Europeans servers when I was 120 lvl, one year before.
Have fun!
 

Legendary Death PvP

deathsmallest

Getting to Warlord

InfernaGaming here with a deadly new PvP strategy for Death Wizards. The main goal for Legendary Death in the arena is hit hard and hit fast. For this strategy you will use Myth mastery. Part of the reason I chose Myth as a secondary school was to get rid of the enemies blades and shields whenever I could.

Gear

My Wizards stats ended up at 110 Damage, 22 Pierce and 29 Resist.

– Waterworks Hat
– Waterworks Robe
– Dworgyn’s Dire Boots
– Immortal’s Lore Wand
– Duelist Ring
– Duelist Athame
– Myth Mastery
– House of Scales Deck
– Triple damage pet
– Vulpine Avenger Mount

Main Deck

3 Stun Blocks, 3 Thermic Shields, 7 Gargantuan, 3 Monstrous, 3 Earthquake, 3 Ether Shield, 2 Animate, 2 Banshee, 3 Death Blades, 4 Doom and Glooms, 2 Feints, 2 Ghouls, 5 Headless Horseman, 3 Poison, 3 Sacrifice, 3 Skeletal Dragon, 2 Death Dispel, 2 Vampires, 2 Wraiths, 3 Reshuffles, and 3 Spiritual Blades.

Treasure Cards

4 Tower Shields, 4 Gargantuan TC, 3 Triage, 3 Earthquakes (enchanted preferably), 4 Medusa, 3 Shift TC, 4 Infallible, 3 Death Blade TC, 2 Deadly Minotaur TC, 1 Wraith, and 3 Spiritual Blades.

Strategy

The strategy is simple. Start by blade stacking using Spirit Blades because they have both Myth and Death blades. Over-time hits like Poison and Skeletal Dragon will remove shields and chip away at your enemies health. This will also prevent any future shield the opponent might cast, leaving them open.
 
If you catch your opponent with no stun blocks, Medusa would play next very well. This attack with a two-round stun can prove quite deadly.
 
After Medusa, you can catch them open. Feint into a Headless Horseman, ending in a huge hit. If my opponent casts a lot of shields, I would Earthquake or Deadly Minotaur into a Headless. An Earthquake also works very well against minions, and will usually kill them with this setup.
 

This is all possible because of blade stacking, and high damage stats. Triage and Shift will come in handy as a defense against Wizards who hit with over-time attacks. With these treasure cards, you can survive a game-ending over-time attack like Burning Rampage.

I hope this guide will get your Death started in the arena! Let us know how this strategy works out for you in the comments below.

Crafting101 – Zafaria

Today we will craft two Conga Drums and two Spirit Caller Drums for the quest "Drum a Little Drum"

Welcome back to Crafting101, young Wizard! Congratulations on achieving your Grandmaster Artisan Badge. You are now well on your way to becoming a Legendary Crafter. The Zafaria crafting quest is unlike any other crafting quest. You cannot complete this quest by teleporting to a friend to access the trainer early as you could with the others. You must complete the quest “To Market, To Market,” before being able to collect his quest.

Koyate Ghostmane

After completing ‘To Market, To Market,” Koyate Ghostmane will have the quest for you. You can find him near the large hollow log in Baobab Market. He is the first lion you see when you enter the area. Once you talk to him, you get the quest “Drum a Little Drum.” This quest requires you to craft two Spirit Caller Drums. The recipe for the Spirit Caller Drums will automatically go into your recipe book.

You will notice that you need Conga Drums for the Spirit Caller Drums recipe. These will also need to be crafted. Gearwise sells the Conga Drum recipe for 4,755 gold. You can find him in Survey Camp, Celestia.

The Recipes

There are many reagents required to craft both of these drums. Below is a list of all the reagents you will need in order to craft them.

Conga Drum

You need two Conga Drums to make the two Spirit Caller Drums. In previous worlds, we crafted two items twice. Now we will learn how to craft items that are an ingredient in other recipes. This is an essential tool if you plan to craft a house, such as The Wyrd or The Treetop Getaway.

Legion Shield

The Spirit Caller Drums need 8 Legion Shield treasure cards between them. These have a chance of being harvested from White Tiger Lillies or Missile Toe plants. If you’re lucky, you may find this Treasure Card in the Bazaar. It’s price ranges from 540 gold to 1013 gold.

You can farm Winter Skulls in Nordrilund and Nastrond for a chance at this treasure card. These places are in Wintertusk, Grizzleheim.

Giant
