  • Forge Goblin Pet
  • Forgemaster’s Gear
  • Forgemaster’s Sword
  • 1-month prepaid membership or 5,000 crowns

Blacksmith's fjord house

The Blacksmith’s Fjord is a beautiful piece of Grizzleheim you can call your own. This serene retreat sits right on the river with a tower to keep watch over your home away from home. The docks bring a beautiful light to the endless fishing available in this home. We found the Steelhead Doodlefish and seasonal fish. We can’t help but wonder what other fish will show themselves here? Let us know what you find!

To the side of the docks, you will find your very own watchtower lined with shields. You can touch the sky! Well, almost, but you are getting a better view of the waterfalls and endless scenery.

Beside your castle, you will find the hard-at-work water wheel, supplying the power and energy needed to keep the famous Grizzleheim forges up and running.

Let’s venture inside and see what else awaits us!

Stunning vaulted ceilings greet you when you walk through the doors. You can tell the previous owners built this place to last; the exposed beams were carved with such care. You will also find an excellent themed bank to store all of your gear and items. 

Venturing down the halls of this home, we find the main attraction, the Blacksmith’s Forge. This fiery furnace, powered with the help of the water wheel, will get the job done. Walk up and interact with it to get a pleasant daily surprise. Who knows, you might get some Amber, a valuable reagent used for many Spell Card recipes. Walk upstairs, and you will find the great hall where you and your guests can feast and swap tales. 

If you look around, you might find some hidden secrets lying within.

The Gear

The kit consists of the Forgemaster’s Helm, Forgemaster’s Smock, and Forgemaster’s Boots. Each piece gives one Grizzleheim Lore spell. In addition, the Helm offers Hammer of Thor, the Smock gives Grendel’s Amends, and the Boots have Ratatoskr’s Spin. The Boots are especially high in Damage, Resistance, and Health at all tiers. They are a great option for any Life Wizard, especially with the Ratatoskr’s Spin card. The Helm is high in offensive stats and adds some pierce the boots do not have. The Smock follows in the same pattern as most bundle robes. It offers a defensive build with high Health, Resistance, Critical Block, and Outgoing Healing, which combines well with the Grendel’s Amends card.

The Wand

The Forgemaster’s Sword is one of our favorite pieces of this bundle. The beautiful Norse-style blade is fresh from the forge! Glowing bright and engraved with magical runes, it makes a fantastic stitch piece for any Wizard. 

Not only is it stunning, but the stats on this wand are also notable. It is common for bundle wands to have mid-level stats, and the new Forgemaster’s Sword is no exception until level 100. I chose to redeem mine at that level, which gave me 42 Critical Rating, 11% Damage, one Power Pip, and 13 Shadow Rating. It makes for a significant and timely upgrade from your Sky Iron Hasta. Even the level 110 and 120 tiers of this sword are as impressive. 

While it still has decent stats at lower levels, it may not be the best choice since it doesn’t surpass the Sky Iron Hasta’s damage until level 100. This Wand comes with attack cards for Myth, Life, and Storm. The Forgemaster’s Sword also has a May-cast Chromatic Blast spell at levels 100 – 140. Chromatic Blast gives a Universal +5% damage per pip blade to the caster. This May cast provides the wand with the potential strategy of countering Wards in exchange for an extra blade.

The Pet

Made from cinder and smoke, with a heart of fire is the Forge Goblin pet. The first-generation talent pool contains zero common talents, six uncommon, two rare, one ultra-rare, and one epic talent. This gives our fiery friend a total pedigree score of fifty-two.

The Forge Goblin gives one Shatter Card at Teen and another at Ancient. Its first-generation stats are as follows: 

  • 250 Strength
  • 195 Intellect
  • 200 Agility
  • 235 Will
  • 185 Power

These are impressive stats for a first-generation pet. If you’re looking for a starting point for your hatch or a unique pet to use, this could be the one. When it comes to training, this pet likes Death school snacks and Meal type snacks. When I raised the Forge Goblin to Mega, it manifested; Attentive, Death-Shot, Death Dealer, Death Assailant, and Forceful. What did yours get? Given the talents we’ve seen, this pet seems like it could make a great Death starter pet.

The Mount

The permanent Fjord Dragon mount is a single-rider, 40% speed boost mount. This blue and green dragon slithers gracefully through the air. Its wings resemble spring leaves, the perfect complement to any green stitch. But, don’t let its stoic stare scare you! This fierce, elegant dragon is here to help you traverse the Spiral.

In Conclusion

This concludes our review of the Blacksmith’s Fjord Bundle. It’s a unique addition to the Grizzleheim-themed homes and items.

The Forgemaster’s Gear gear will help you in your adventures through the Spiral. This bundle’s wand at high tiers adds more variety when deciding what you will use while questing. This bundle brings cool-looking gear that packs a punch of damage and resistance. The Forge Goblin pet is an excellent addition to any Death collection. The Fjord Dragon is a unique mount that will stand out. We are impressed.

We hope this helps you decide if this is the right bundle for you. We look forward to seeing what you create. Tell us what you think of the Forgemaster’s Bundle in the comments below. 

See you around the Spiral!

Doors & Burrows

Exclusive to this new bundle are the Pet Burrows and Pet Door teleporters. These special teleporters add more ways to play as your pet, allowing you to travel anywhere your little heart desires! Wizards are too big to fit! You’ll have to become one with your furry friend to venture through!

The Burrow will blend in with the nature outside of your castle, meanwhile, the door compliments any home interior. These teleporters are only usable while playing as your pet and are too small for Wizards to fit. Once you’re at home, set up the Teleporter while decorating your house. When chosen, a circle will appear that you’ll have to place; this is where you’ll get teleported to. After you’ve selected the location, you may choose the Teleporter again and place it.

With these teleporters, you can open up new possibilities for one-of-a-kind party games with your pets. You can create discrete hidden entrances to your other castles or secret passages to the best hiding places for Hide-and-Seek. They also make a great addition to any maze!

Hamster Power!

Next up, we’re going to take a look at one of the cutest mounts, the Fur Wheeler! Horse power is a thing of the past, because this new mount is full of energy. Why? It’s powered by none other than the Ravenwood Hamster! This mount will have you zooming around the Spiral with its +40% speed. All your friends are going to be jealous when they see you doing wheelies and tricks on this board. 

A Wizard's Best Friend

You also get a furry and faithful companion with this bundle! The Pup Prodigy Pet will be by your side through everything Wizard101 has to offer. Equipped with his glasses and a calculator, this is one smart pup. He’s a Balance School pet, equipped with an Accurate spell card as a baby. So you’ll never miss that dire hit to save your tail.

First-generation Pup Prodigies have a Pedigree Score of fifty-six and the following stats:

  • Strength: 210
  • Intellect: 240
  • Agility: 210
  • Will: 190
  • Power: 200

First-generation talents can include; Big Energy, which pairs with the Bundle’s gear set. Lively, that will increase Incoming Healing, an excellent thing for any maycast pet. Next, there’s Balance Assailant, granting a bonus to your Balance Critical Rating. Finally, there’s May Cast Balance Blade, which gives your pet a chance to help you by casting a universal blade. These are only a select few talents this pet can get.

Once you train this prodigy to Adult, you also gain another card: Disarm. This card removes one positive charm from your opponent. This pet lends itself well to expanding your energy reserves given its base Talent pool. Making the Pup Prodigy an excellent choice to take Fishing or Gardening. This pet would also make a decent Support pet or May Cast Heal pet.

Got to Train 'Em All

Moving on, we have the Pet Trainer Gear. This is by far the best energy set you can get in the game and the best part? You don’t have to struggle opening tons of packs for it! This outfit is ready for anything with all the tools needed to train your magical menagerie. You’ll definitely want this outfit the next time you’re at the Pet Pavilion. But why stop there? With all the Energy this outfit grants, you’ll have no problem tending your garden or going fishing!

The higher tiers of this outfit also offer a variety of Animus extraction cards. So this set may come in handy if you’re out gathering Animus!

This set provides the same amount of Energy as the Yule Logger Gear, and Light Elf sets. Both are heralded as the best Energy gear sets you can get, but they’re also seasonal items. Which means the there’s a limited window to get them each year. The beauty of the Pet Trainer Attire is that it’s guaranteed. Meaning you won’t have to spend countless Crowns opening packs or wait an entire year to get the best Energy set.

When it comes to this bundle’s style, I must say I’m impressed with the look. The Pawzooka is one of the more unique looking wands in the game. With a crosshair for insane accuracy and extra tennis balls, you’ll always be ready to play fetch.

The stats aren’t particularly glorious, as this set focuses on Energy. The lowest tier has 2% damage, a nice boost for first level wizards. The max tier option has 3% Peirce, +85 Critical, 8% damage, and 245 pip conversion. Not the ideal choice for combat at high levels, but the gear makes up for it with its fabulous look.

In Conclusion

That concludes the review of the Pet Trainers Bundle; it’s unique and has outstanding elements! The equipment is currently tied for the best Energy gear in the game. The Pup Prodigy is adorable and provides a great starting point for expanding your energy reserves. The Fur Wheeler mount is cute and fun, with it’s a nod to the Ravenwood Hamster. The Pawwzooka’s stats are a bit underwhelming, but it makes for a great stitch! Finally, the Pet Burrows and Pet Doors are nothing like what we’ve seen before. I’m excited to see what Wizards will do with them!
 
Thank you all for joining me on this review. I hope it helps you choose whether this is the bundle for you. Should you pick up this card and see how awesome it is for yourself, I’ll see you skating around the Spiral!
