Fishing: Code Wands

Posted on by

After the Zafarian fish were updated, chests containing precious code wands that don’t exist anymore as drops from bosses. The code wands are found in various lakes in Zafaria, but let’s focus on a single area in Zafaria that is well known as Elephant Graveyard.

Location

Zafaria In order:

Baobab Market / Stone Town / Waterfront / Drum Jungle / Elephant Graveyard

The Wands

1.Amaranthine Staff

2. Staff of the Querent

3. Fog Staff

4. Staff of Imperator

5. Warpwood Wand

6. Blue Raptor

7. Dragonclaw Blade

8. Viridian Scepter

9. Galvanic Hammer

10. Goldenbeak

 11. Umbra Blade

How Do Get Them

There are many methods one can use to catch these wands, but we must first mention that the chests are in all ranks, schools, and categories like the common, rare and epic fishes. So the best method is to go there and catch what you see. However, doing so will waste a lot of time and energy to a more efficient method would be, having in mind that the right pond has more chests from the left, and in the second phase, that most fish are a school of death, we use a middle bait of this school, mostly.

  1. Reveal Fish School: See if a death fish appears and cast bait Lesser Repose Lure or Minor Repose Lure and catch what you can from what you have in front of you or all, even sentinel fish.
  2. Winnow Death Fish / Banish Sentinels 1: Use after Lesser Repose Lure or Minor Repose Lure grab you can first on the right side of the lake and then on the left after you repeat the Banish Sentinels 1 spell again.
  3. Use Minor Repose Lure and catch all sentinel fishes. These fish contain chests like all fish and all categories. But they differ in how to catch them. Do not wait to pull the lure into the water to hit the space bar, but once they touch the lure, press the spacebar right away.
    Note: If 15 minutes have passed, repeat with Summon Fish and re-do Method 1, 2 or 3.
  4. If you have the Buoy Chests 1 spell, you don’t need to use the Summon Fish spell because it resets along with a 50% greater chance of returning to chests. So then you have two options:
  • Make Winnow Death Fish / Banish Sentinels 1 by using Minor Repose Lure and catch what’s left.
  • Make Winnow Death Fish and catch all the sentinel fish and then what is left of the school of death.

Do not forget that there are no fishing spells that scare aware the sentinel fishes whatever their school, except Banish Sentinels 1.

The whole collection together:

Pets, Pets, Pets! Basics

Posted on by
To begin with pets in the spiral there are a few things you need to do first. This article is meant to help you figure out where to begin being a pet owner in game.
 
1. Plant a garden! I know, you thought this article was about pets, well it is. You will be surprised to learn how much gardening will help you with your pet ventures. Not only do you gain cards and drops to sell for gold by gardening (which you will need for hatching pets), this is also where you can get some very good pet snacks, and lots of them if you do it right.
 
2. Acquire a pet! You can get pets from many different places. You can buy pets in the crown shop, buy them for gold in some places, get them from packs, and even from game drops. For a complete list of just about every pet in game and where to get it, visit http://www.wizard101central.com/index.php
 
3. Choose your favorite pet training game and start training. Some people just go straight to the dance game to quickly feed their pet snacks. If the pet you currently have isn’t the one you want, or not getting good talents then it’s time to start hatching to get a better one.

Training

 
 
Every pet has stats that are the following: Strength, Intellect, Agility, Will, and Power.
To increase your pet’s stats and experience shown within the experience bar you must train the pet. There are many different games in the pet pavilion to play that will train your pet. You can choose whichever one you are good at or enjoy, or just go for whatever is the easiest.

My personal favorite is the maze because it kind of reminds me of a Pac-Man sort of game, but the dancing one is quick, so I like that one too.

 

Stats and experience points are based on which game you play, how well you play that game, and what snacks you feed the pet for reward.

 

There are extensive reference guides at http://www.wizard101central.com/index.php that will tell you everything you’d ever want to know about pet snacks and such. The only way to bring up a pet’s level and power is through feeding them snacks, and the only way to feed them the snacks is to play the games.

Pet Levels

There are 7 levels to pet training beginning with baby. Each level after baby is as follows:
-Teen -Adult -Ancient -Epic -Mega -Ultra.
 
With each level the amount of energy it costs to train your pet will increase, as well as the experience needed to reach the next level. The energy cost goes up by 2 for each level until epic, where it stays at 10 energy per game. The experience needed will double every level until you reach epic, then it will stay at 2000 experience points.

Pet Talents

As you train your pet it will learn talents each time it levels. There are talents that can benefit your wizard in many, different ways, then there are what most call “selfish talents”. Selfish talents are talents that boost the pet’s max stats. For more detailed information on the different pet talents, and how to get them, etc. refer to http://www.wizard101central.com/index.php

Copying a Pet Using the Piggle Method

Posted on by

So, you want to make a great pet for questing? Unless you’re an experienced pet hatcher, I recommend that you copy a pet from the Hatchmaking Kiosk. Before you get started, make sure you have a full garden of Couch Potatoes and Evil Magma Peas for a good supply of pet snacks and Gold for hatching.

Now, you browse the pets on offer in the Hatchmaking Kiosk and you see the perfect max stat double-resist triple-damage pet in the Hatchmaking Kiosk. You hatch with one of your pets and hope some of the talents on the desirable pet manifest on your new pet.

Once your new pet has hatched, you train it to teen, and it gets Spell Proof. You’re feeling super confident so you train the pet to Adult. It manifests Pain Giver. Woot! The pet is looking great! You train the pet to Ancient and it gets Mana Gift. Ugh. That’s definitely an undesirable talent.

What should I do now?

Should I trash the pet? Should I start over and hatch again tomorrow and hope for the best again?

Unfortunately, once you’ve trained a pet beyond Adult and it manifests an undesirable talent, it really is a fail. I would probably trash the pet.

But, here’s the deal: if you only trained your pet to Adult and you hatch it with the pet from the Kiosk again you will transfer more of the talent pool and stats to the offspring. You can use a technique I use to continue transferring a pet’s talent pool and stats to your own pet.

The method I use to copy a pet’s talent pool and stats in just a few hatches is known as the Piggle Method. It’s called the Piggle Method because you start with a Piggle pet bought from Tennant Wastelander for 350 Gold. Tennant Wastelander is one of the “Pet Shoppe Boys,” and a Pet Vendor in Wizard City. He’s located in the Pet Pavilion, inside the Pet Shoppe Boys’ Pet Shop.

Why do you use a Piggle?

The reason we use a Piggle pet is that most of their talents are Common, so it’s easy to track the talent pool with each hatch. Also, the talents aren’t very ‘sticky’, or hard to get rid of although that doesn’t really matter when you follow this method

Are there any tricks to transferring the talents and stats?

Once you’ve bought your Piggle pet train it ONLY to Adult. Go to the Kiosk and find a pet you want to hatch with. Once you’ve found a suitable pet, scroll through your pets and select your Piggle. Take a screenshot or a snip before you click Hatch. Now train the offspring to Adult. Once your new pet is Adult, hatch again with the same Kiosk pet when you can, following the same steps above.

Will I get the pet I want in the first hatch?

You may not get the pet body you desire in the first hatch, or even in the first ten hatches, but you will get it, eventually. Just keep following the process of hatching with

the Kiosk pet, training the offspring to Adult and hatching again until you have copied the pet, its stats and talent pool.

The new pet failed at teen, should I train it to adult?

Until you’ve copied the pet’s talent pool and stats, don’t worry about which talents your pets manifest. The manifested talents only become important when you have copied the talent pool and stats completely.

Your pet talent pool is on the left and the stats are on the right. A high pedigree shows a high number of Epic talents which may or may not be desirable depending on your goals. The higher the pedigree the more Gold your hatches will cost.

If you own the same pet body, train your pet to Adult then hatch with the desired pet from the Kiosk just like I explained above using the Piggle. Then, train the offspring to Adult and hatch again. Hatch the new offspring with the pet you are copying until you have a pet with the identical stats and talent pool.

How can I tell I’ve copied the pets talent pool and stats?

If you look closely at the picture below, you’ll see that each of the numbers in the “SAP” (Strength, Intellect, Agility, Will and Power) column is identical to that of the

parent pet. Also, each of the talent pool dots appears in the corresponding lines on both pets.

 Will I get the same talents on my pet as the kiosk pet?

Once you’ve copied the pet’s talent pool and stats completely, your job has only just begun. Now the hard part starts. It will still take many hatches to train a pet that manifests all the talents you want because you’re not copying the pet’s manifested talents, you’re copying the entire talent POOL. Any five of the ten talents can manifest in your pets when you train them, regardless of what talents the parents have manifested.

 Make 2 or 3 base adult pets

Next, train your pet with the identical stats to Adult. If it doesn’t fail, hatch it again with the pet you’re copying. And if it fails, still hatch with the desired pet again until you get a pet to Adult that hasn’t failed. I recommend that you make two or three Adult pets that haven’t failed to keep as your base pets for hatching until you have gotten 2 or 3 pets to Ancient that haven’t failed.

Next, make 2 or 3 base ancient pets

Once you have 2 or 3 Adult pets that haven’t failed, you can hatch your own pets together if the Kiosk pet isn’t available. Now hatch one of your Adult pets with the Kiosk pet or one of your own base pets, now you can try to train a pet to Ancient without failing. If a pet fails by Adult, go back to your previous pet to hatch again with the Kiosk pet, or hatch your 2 Adult pets together if the Kiosk pet isn’t available.

Make 2 base epic pets

When you have 2 pets trained to Ancient that haven’t failed, you can train up your base Adult pets. If they fail before Epic, hatch one of your 2 Ancient pets with the Kiosk pet, or hatch them together if that pet isn’t available, and try to get 2 pets to Epic that haven’t failed.

After you’ve gotten 2 pets to Epic without failing, you can level up your Ancient pets as far they will go without failing, keeping your 2 Epic pets as insurance. If those pets fail, hatch one of your Epic pets with the Kiosk pet or your other Epic pet and train as far as you can without it failing. If your pet fails, you still have your 2 Epic pets to fall back on.

How long will it take to get a pet with the same talents?

Making the perfect pet will eat up your Gold, pet snacks and your patience. Sadly, we have no control over which talents will manifest. Also, regardless of which talents have manifested up to Epic, the final talent at Mega appears to be a random talent from the talent pool. So it really is just a matter of persevering with the hatches until you get a pet that manifests the talents you want.

If you take the precautions of making and keeping base pets that haven’t failed, your efforts will pay off, eventually.

Should I feed my pets snacks that they like?

Seeing as we all have a finite amount of energy, the best thing to do is to conserve energy and feed your pet snacks that will give them the most XP per pet game. I feed my pets Captain Cantaloupe and Mystic Dragon Fruit until I’ve maxed out all the stats. Once I’ve maxed out all the stats I feed my pets Fancy Yogurt.

I’m out of Energy and my pet has only 2 xpto level up!

If you find you have only one or two XP remaining to level your pet, instead of playing another pet game, feed your pet unwanted gear and items from your backpack until the pet receives the XP it requires to level up. You can also buy Pet Crumbs from the Crown shop for 100 Gold per pack feed the individual Crumbs to your pet until it levels up.

While this process might seem complicated at first once you’ve done it a couple of times you’ll get the hang of it.
