NEW Nimbari Hoard Pack

Posted on February 11, 2019February 15, 2019 by Kyle Sword

The new Nimbari hoard pack is super awesome and our first pack to release in 2019! With that comes some high expectations and I don’t think it is letting us down! So let’s dive right in!

Pets

You’re going to get a lot of different pets throughout these packs. You will get millions variations, like a Fairyfly, Goat Monk, Storm Bird and a Storm Golem.

Of course the pet you’d really want is the Ultra-Rare Hurricanine pet. This adorable guy sadly only seems to give Storm Dealer as a talent you’d be wanting. But I’m personally willing to hatch as many times as it takes to get this adorable little dude a great set of stats! He also comes with a Galvanic Field item card. Not as good as a blade, but still nice to have.

Gear

Ah what you’ve really come for! Everyone always needs to know how important these packs are and how they will affect the meta of gear choice. The answer: A lot.

The wands at max level are honestly fantastic, in particular for storm. It’s best to think of them as superior versions of the revered crafting wands, but only in critical and damage. This wand allows my storm to reach 99.8% critical (give or take) with 162 damage! They also come with fairly beefy Shift Maycasts that can allow you to get a nice bit of cheeky extra damage!

The boots and hat are also phenomenal at lower levels, trumping Waterworks and House of Scales gear!

Furniture

This is something I personally don’t like. There are 7 different furniture items tagged as Ultra-Rare, meaning they’re equally as rare as the wands, robes and the pet.

They’re cool, don’t get me wrong, and using them I made this awesome little scene in my Arcanum Apartment, but still not the best. Perhaps this was to balance the dropping of these great gear pieces? We’ll never know.

Other than that the other pieces of furniture are nice and the variety of fans to add to the regular ones we saw with Whirlyburly is awesome!

Mount

The Nimbari Chariot looks pretty cool. It’s nice and unobtrusive and looks different enough, but it’s nothing spectacular.

Still you will not be complaining if you get this Epic drop. It seats two wizards with a standard speed boost of 40%. Overall, rather cool.

So with all that said, I think we can all agree that the Nimbari hoard pack was actually pretty successful and great to have. I love what it’s allowed me to do in my house as well as my gear. It gets my seal of approval!

Crafting101 – Zafaria

Posted on December 27, 2018May 8, 2019 by Peyton Lionheart

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.

Crafting101 – Dragonspyre | Pt 1

Posted on December 6, 2018January 14, 2019 by Ravenwood Community Guest Author

We’re back with another Crafting101 issue. Lets explore the crafting quests in one of my favorite main worlds, Dragonspyre!

Balthazar Dragonthorn

The next crafting badge you can earn is your Master Artisan badge, but first, you must complete all of the crafting quests Balthazar Dragonthorn gives you. Balthazar is found to your right after you cross the bridge entering the Atheneum.

The first quest he gives you is called Two-Ring Circus. For this quest, you will need to craft 2 Rings of Apotheosis. To craft these rings, you will need an Equipment Crafting Station. It is available for 1,500 gold in the Furniture stores in Krokotopia, Marleybone, Mooshu, and Dragonspyre.

Balthazar’s crafting quests are more difficult than Toshio’s were. He not only asks you to craft the 2 rings of Apotheosis but also 2 robes specifically for your school and 2 pieces of furniture. This quest will require the Housing Crafting Station which is available for 1,500 gold from the Furniture Stores in Wizard City, Krokotopia, Marleybone, Mooshu and Dragonspyre.

The Recipes

The recipes themselves aren’t too difficult to complete. The biggest obstacle is gathering the rare reagents such as Diamond, Nightshade and Blood Moss which can be difficult to find or aquire.

The first recipe, Ring of Apothosis, only has three ingredients. Balthazar starts you off with something simple.

Below is the Recipe for Ring of Apotheosis. With needing to craft 2 rings, you will need to double the reagents.

Below is a picture of your second crafting quest recipe. The robe you are given in this quest all depends on what school you are. I am a Life Wizard so I was given the Needle and the Vine quest. Other schools will get:

STORM – Needle and Rain: Craft 2 Raintree Uniforms
ICE – Needle and Frost: Craft 2 Thunderchill Cloaks
FIRE – Needle and Flame: Craft 2 Grimblaze Vestments
DEATH – Need and Bone: Craft 2 Duskwind Tunics
MYTH – Needle and Fate: Craft 2 Bright Surcoats of the Paragon
LIFE – Needle and vine: Flamesoul Cloak
BALANCE – Needle and Luck: Craft 2 Cloaks of Weighty Grief

The only recipe available for purchase from Balthazar is the Flamesoul Cloak. You will need to craft 2 of each robe so again you will need to double your reagents.

The third and final quest from Balthazar is Iron Craft Dragonspyre. You will need the recipe Crimson Book Stand from Toshio in Mooshu. You will need to craft 2 of these to finally receive your Master Artisan Badge.

Gathering the Reagents

Now, the fun part begins! For me, it took some time to gather all of the reagents needed. For the first recipe, Ring of Apotheosis, you will need:

Ghost Fire

Ghost fire is best bought from a reagents vendor. In fact, Zoltan Nightstone, who is standing nearing Balthazar, sells them for 100 gold a piece. The Bazaar also has them available and can cost anywhere from 50 to 500 gold. If you happen to have any Burning Snap Dragon, they drop Ghost Fire. If you are in a hurry to rank up, I would recommend buying them from a vendor or the Bazaar whichever works best for you.

Diamond

I found Diamond to be the most difficult reagent to gather. You can find them in Ore as a rare harvest, or transmute Ore to create them. Ore spawns all over the spiral. It’s all about finding the hot spots. The Atheneum usually has 2 that you can harvest and the Cave of Solitude, in Mooshu, has around 3-4. Jumping from realm to realm makes it easier and quicker to gather the reagents you need in an area like these. They are available at the Bazaar, but they are quick to go, so if you see any – buy them as fast as you can! They usually cost anywhere from 100 – 1,000 gold. There are also several plants that could drop Diamond when you harvest them: Burning Snap Dragon, Deadly Helephant Ears, Fickle Pickle, Frozen Fly Trap, King Parsley, and the list goes on.

Black Lotus

Black Lotus can also be a difficult reagent to find. Mostly found in Mooshu, once you find a few, I would switch through different realms to find as many as you can in that spot. If you still can’t get enough, it is available at the Bazaar when you’re lucky usually selling anywhere from 43 to 425 gold, depending on how many are available.

So in total for this recipe, you will need:

Ghost Fire – 18
Diamond – 30
Black Lotus – 40

Now, the second recipe varies depending on your wizards’ school. As we covered earlier, there are 7 different quest variations. We will cover the other variations next week. Since I am a Life Wizard, I will cover the reagents needed for the quest Needle and the Vine. For this quest you must craft the Flamesoul Cloak.

Nature's Wrath TC

Nature’s Wrath is a popular treasure card available at the Bazaar. These TC’s usually sell for around 300-400 gold each. You can also get it from harvesting Bamboo Shoots, Fickle Pickle, Fortune Cookie Tree, Purple Grapes of Wrath and Queen Crape Myrtle.
If you can’t find it at the Bazaar, Zan’ne in the Krokotopian Library has them available for 400 gold each.

Ruby

Ruby is an easy reagent to find. The vendors in Wizard City, Krokotopia, Marleybone, Wysteria, and Mooshu have it available for 15 gold each.
You can also buy it from the Bazaar from 8 to 75 gold.
If you have any Ivy League, Snap Dragon or Ultra Dandelion there is a possibility you could get Ruby when you harvest them.

Crystal Vial

Crystal Vial is a pricey reagent when bought from a vendor and the Bazaar. The vendors in Wysteria, Mooshu and Dragonspyre sell them for 330 gold where as buying them from the Bazaar can cost between 165 to 1650 gold each, depending on how many are listed available. Harvesting Pink Dandelion can also get you some of these vials.

Ectoplasm

Ectoplasm is a tricky reagent. Battling different bosses in Mooshu and Dragonspyre can reward you with Ectoplasm but it is not guaranteed every battle. Buying it from the Bazaar is much quicker unless you enjoy farming. It retails for 25 – 250 gold each. Harvesting Baby Carrots, Orange Dandelion, Ultra Snap Dragon and Ultra Trumpet Vine will give you the chance of Ectoplasm at harvest.

Frost Flower

I would say Frost Flower is a fairly popular reagent that spawns all over the spiral in its cold and icy places. It is especially easy to find in Grizzleheim and Wintertusk and there is always a frost flower near the Ice Tree, Kelvin, in Ravenwood! rost flower can be found at the Bazaar, prices ranging anywhere from 33 to 325 gold each. Harvesting Evil Snow Peas, Fickle Pickle, Frozen Fly Trap, Orange Dandelion, Snow Apples, Honey Bee Plant and Boon Tree will increase your chances of harvesting a Frost Flower.

Black Pearl

I found Black Pearl to be a challenging reagent to find. It can be gathered as a rare harvest from black lotus or pearl. It can also be transmuted. You can also purchase Black Pearl from Diego 175 arena tickets. The Bazaar has them available but they are quick to go, so if they are available buy them quickly. They usually sell for anywhere from 188 – 1875 gold each. A few gardening options are Alligator Pear Tree, Deadly Fly Trap, King Parsley, Ultra Tiger Lily, and the list goes on.

Stone Block

Stone block is one of the easiest reagents in the game to find.Two of them spawn right in the Athaneum where you get the quest! The Bazaar has them selling from 18 to 175 gold a piece, you can even buy a bundle of 100 from the Crowns Shop for 499 Crowns. Burning Snap Dragon, Dandelion, Fickle Pickle, Snap Dragon and Tiger Lily all drop this reagent.

So in total for this recipe, you will need:

Nature’s Wrath TC – 12
Ruby – 28
Crystal Vial – 6
Ectoplasm – 24
Frost Flower – 30
Black Pearl – 16
Stone Block – 20

Now for the last recipe. The Quest is called Iron Craft Dragonspyre and you have to craft 2 Crimson Book Stands.

Fire Elf TC

The Fire Elf TC is a very popular TC dropped by low ranked enemies. A popular boss to farm is the Kraken, located in Triton Avenue. It can be bought from the Bazaar from 113 gold each. If you can’t find any available at the Bazaar, Harold Argleston in the Wizard City Library has them for you at 250 gold a piece, Zan’ne the Krokotopian Librarian has them selling at the same price. They can be harvested from Bell Pepper and Helephant Ears.

Shadow Oil

Shadow Oil is best bought from a vendor. Vendors in Krokotopia, Marleybone, Wysteria, Mooshu and Dragonspyre sell Shadow Oil at 20 gold each. It can also be harvested from Orange Dandelion.

Glass Vial

Glass Vial is also best purchased from a vendor. Vendors in Krokotopia, Marleybone, Wysteria, Mooshu and Dragonspyre have them available for 125 gold each where the Bazaar could be anywhere from 63 to 625 gold each. There is a chance of receiving Glass Vial’s from harvesting Burning Snap Dragon too!

Cat Tail

Cat Tail is a very popular and easy reagent to find. They spawn just about anywhere in the Spiral where there is water. If you are having trouble finding them, they sell from 18 to 175 gold at the Bazaar! They can be harvested from Dandelion, Pink Dandelion, Tiger Lily and Honey Bee Plant!

Nightshade

Nightshade is actually a rare harvest from Deep Mushroom! Deep Mushroom is a reagent that can be found all over the spiral, however, Mooshu is the world where Deep Mushrooms likes to spawn most! If you aren’t having much luck finding Deep Mushroom by the road in Mooshu, the Bazaar is the best place to try next. Nightshade sells from 100 to 1000 gold each, but they are very rare. If you find them available be super quick to buy them! If you are still struggling to find Nightshade, harvesting Burning Snap Dragon, Ultra Ninja Fig, Honey Bee Plant and Fickle Pickle will increase the chances of you getting more Nightshade. You can also transmute 15 deep mushrooms into your needed Nightshade.

Blood Moss

Blood Moss, another rare reagent. Actually a rare harvest from Red Mandrake. Red Mandrake spawns frequently in Wizard City’s Colossus Boulevard, Nightside, Sunken City, Firecat Alley, Haunted Cave and Cyclops Lane. If you have Azteca unlocked, it can be found there too! The Bazaar sells Blood Moss from 150 – 1500 gold each but it is one of those rare reagents that sell like hot cakes! Harvesting from Deadly Fly Trap, Ultra Ninja Fig, Honey Bee Plant, Pink Dandelion and Fickle Pickle will hopefully grant you some Blood Moss, or you can transmute 15 Red Mandrake at the crafting station to make 1 Blood Moss.

Black Pearl is also needed for this recipe. So in total, you will need:

Fire Elf TC – 6
Shadow Oil – 6
Glass Vial – 2
Cat Tail – 72
Nightshade – 24
Blood Moss – 20
Black Pearl – 12

Transmute Recipes

A Transmute Recipes are recipes you can buy from various Recipe Vendors around the spiral! They take a number of common reagents and craft them into a single desired rare reagent! You will need the Card Crafting Station which is available for purchase from the Furniture stores in Krokotopia, Marleybone, Mooshu and Dragonspyre for 1,500 gold. I found these recipes extremely helpful when trying to find Nightshade, Diamond and Blood Moss. I just crafted them and problem solved!

The Diamond Transmute Recipe is available from Felicia Worthington in Marleybone – Regent’s Square. Selling at 200 gold. You will need 15 Ore.

The Black Lotus Transmute Recipe is available from Toshio in Mooshu – Jade Palace. Selling for 300 gold. You will need 10 Cat Tail and 10 Ore.

The Ectoplasm Transmute Recipe is available from Balthazar Dragonthorn in Dragonspyre – The Athaneum. Selling for 150 gold. You will need 5 Leather Straps.

The Frost Flower Transmute Recipe is available from Torald Wayfinder in Grizzleheim – Northguard. Selling for 300 gold. You will need 10 Mist Wood and 10 Stone Block.

The Black Pearl Transmute Recipe is available from Toshio in Mooshu – Jade Palace. Selling for 400 gold. You will need 15 Black Lotus.

The Nightshade Transmute Recipe is available from Wul’yahm in Krokotopia – The Oasis. Selling for 200 gold. You will need 15 Deep Mushroom.

The Blood Moss Transmute Recipe is available from Eudora Tangletree in Wizard City – Olde Town. Selling for 400 gold. You will need 15 Red Mandrake.

That concludes our walk through of the Dragonspyre Crafting Quests! Next stop, Celestia! Where we will meet with Pierce Stanson, the Grandmaster Artisan! See you in the next article!

Storm Titan’s Trident Strategy!

Posted on November 11, 2018June 3, 2019 by Kyle Sword

Basics

The final dungeon of Part two, Storm Titan Maelstrom, is one of the hardest fights in the game. And sadly it is also the only fight in-game that drops the new Paradox gear, the majority best offensive gear in-game! But what if you could kill it in a few rounds without ever losing more than a few hundred hit points? Would be nice to save yourself an hour or more wouldn’t it?

The premise of this strategy is to kill the titan by using overtime and before he kills you. But never fear, he won’t even be able to kill you with the Bad Jujus you placed on him! Just make sure you understand everything fully, it isn’t a super strict strategy either with a decent margin of error.

Character Roles

Hitter: Your hitter is going to need a very strong DOT spell. You’re looking at Heckhound, Stormhound etc. Perhaps even Spinysaur!

Balance: Sadly, it is very hard to pull this off without a balance. Although it may be possible without, a Balance simply provides an unrivaled advantage. They can set up the hitter more effectively than any other school can.

Jade Death: Again something you can’t do without. Only a Death can cast the required Indemnity Bad Jujus required to pull it off, as Storm Titan will cleanse himself. Death is also useful for Dark Pact.

Jade (any): This can be any school that can tank and go first. They’ll be elemental/spiritual setting up your hitter as well as a couple other bits and bobs of support that make your life a lot easier.

The Strategy

I won’t go into the round by round specifics as you actually have a lot of flexibility with this strategy. However, there are a couple of important points that cannot be missed.

Bubble Change: It’s important to note that this is no longer possible. You can’t balance dispel, meaning the bubble stays up, capping your damage before a million.

Cleanses: Packing a minimum of 2 cleanses is a good idea. The boss likes to use virulent plague as well as mass infection.

Juju Spam: This is vital. Your Death has to Indemnity Juju spam. If you get unlucky with shadows, he will pull up his trident on 5 shadow pips. If this is the case and he does not have 2 Jujus on him you will lose everyone but your jades, so you got to get those Jujus on! They also stop the tempests, cheats and other hits from hurting a lot!

The DOT: The damage over time has to do over 40K damage on every tick. Alternatively, impact + DOT hits like Rain Of Fire can work well too. Each hit will trigger a new phase.

Minions: There will be one batch of minions summoned after the initial hit or first tick of the DOT. It’s vital that they’re killed immediately, by bugs; bull etc, as they could prevent the tick from doing enough by their shield spam.

General Blading: This isn’t too hard to understand. You gotta blade blade blade! All balance and hitter do is blade. The Death should Dark Pact whenever they are able too, but prioritize the Jujus. Your Jade is in charge of the Elemental Blades.

The Hitting Round: The round you hit there are a couple things you HAVE to do. It’s important that firstly your hitter actually hits. Your balance should shatter, as it’s possible he will have either a storm or myth shield (Note: With a fire, this isn’t necessary). We recommend being in shrike if you’re a hitting storm, but a few well-timed prisms work well too. Your Death is free to do whatever, but ideally uses their last or remaining Dark Pact.

Conclusions

This sounds too good to believe. A strategy that works easily, is super fast and has a little room for error. But we’ve got the proof. I’ve done it over a dozen times and my friend Julie has pulled it off over 20 times already! Big thanks to Dark Merit and James Storyshield on Discord for brainstorming and testing this strat!

So best of luck guys! Get farming for your new Paradox Gear!

Editors Note: The wizards over at Team ELITE also came up with this strategy. Check out their video guide to it here https://goo.gl/kFnGU4

Level 5 Gear Guide

Posted on October 31, 2018February 4, 2019 by Ravynlea

Gear choices can be a little bit confusing for a new Wizard sometimes. Here is a guide to help you understand your options and help your level 5 wizard be the best it can be.

For 585 gold your level 5 wizard can buy the helm, robe, and boots shown here from the Bazaar. You can see that the Helm gives 1% resist to all types of damage, and the robe and shoes combined will give a 2% boost to any type (or school) of damage. The athame and ring pictured here are the best commonly found choice available to finish off this set, providing your Wizard with a small health and mana boost. This set will improve your damage and resist a little bit. Enough to give you a small advantage as you quest through the first few areas of Wizard City.

In the crowns shop appearance tab, you can select and purchase individual crowns gear items. For 5,180 crowns you can purchase the set pictured below. This set is a popular choice for low level PvP as well as PvE. As you can see, you will gain a 3% accuracy boost, a 6% damage boost, and 12% resistance, all to any school. Additionally, you will start each battle or match with an extra pip and have a small chance of getting a power pip which counts for 2. This set will give you a significant, well-rounded advantage questing through all of Wizard City and into Krokotopia or set you up for victory in the Arena.

For 7500 crowns the Starter sets give any school a significant advantage that can easily carry you all the way to level 30 when you upgrade to Zeus gear. They each come with full clothing sets and a permanent mount.

For 7500 crowns the Starter sets give any school a significant damage and accuracy advantage that can easily carry you all the way to Mount Olympus when you upgrade to Zeus gear. It is not as well rounded as the previous set as it offers no universal resist, and you will have to part with that extra pip at the start of the round. In return, you get an extreme damage and accuracy boost that is likely to make you one of the most overpowered wizards in the next few worlds. Each set includes a full clothing set and a permanent mount making it a pretty good value for wizards that want to not have to worry about gear while they quest through from here to level 30.

Opening a few packs is a fun option and can give you a small advantage gear wise if you get lucky. The Important thing when using pack gear is to use the gears that match your school for best advantage. The hat and robe seen here will give a good advantage to fire wizards, while the boots will provide support for death.

With any of these sets your Wizard will have an easier time in Wizard City and in some cases far beyond. Good gear makes every battle faster and easier, so it is worth investing the time to make your level 5 wizard the best it can be.

Crafting101 – Mooshu

Posted on October 29, 2018December 15, 2018 by Ravynlea

Hello and welcome to the fourth installment of Crafting101 Wizard! Now that Marleybone is finished it is time to leave the big city and move on to greener pastures… Mooshu!

STEP 1 – TOSHIO

To get the next crafting quest you will need to find and talk to a little guy named Toshio. When you walk out of the Mooshu world gate he will be located on a porch around the corner to your left. He will give you the “Legend of Two Rings”. Be warned, the 2 rings are NOT the only items you will need to craft. After you finish that quest you will be asked to craft 2 Possibility Dirks. Also, note both of these items will have to be crafted on a new table – The Equipment Crafting Station.

STEP 2 – THE EQUIPMENT CRAFTING STATION

To complete this quest, you will need an Equipment Crafting Station. There are a few places to buy this item, but the nearest place is the furniture shop owned by Zhi Lan. It is located directly around the corner from Toshio. It will cost you exactly 1,500 gold and can be instantly placed in your home.

To tell what station you will need in order to craft a particular item, look for these icons;

BASIC CRAFTING STATION –

EQUIPMENT CRAFTING STATION –

CARD CRAFTING STATION –

There are more Crafting Stations that we will learn about in future articles, but these are the 3 that you may need for this quest.

STEP 3 – LEGEND OF TWO RINGS & DIRKS OF DARING

First, Toshio will ask you to create 2 Seals of the Seraphim. After you turn this quest in he will ask for 2 Possibility Dirks, so you can go ahead and buy both of these recipes in Toshio’s Shop. The Seals recipe will cost you 900 gold, while the Dirks recipe will cost 850 gold. In total for the Seals, you will need 8 Peridots, 6 Rubies, 10 Glass Vials, 20 Black Lotus, and 30 Mist Wood. For both Dirks, you will need 4 Sapphires, 4 Rubies, 10 Glass Vials, 10 Ectoplasm, and 30 Stone Blocks.

STEP 4 – GATHERING THE REAGENTS

Now that you know what you need for both the Seals and the Dirks, you can look for the materials simultaneously. I will go over what we need for the Seals first and then the Dirks.

SEAL OF THE SERAPHIM –

PERIDOT –

You can buy peridot from the reagent vendor right beside Toshio, Yuji Hamada, for 15 gold per. For the 8 that we need it will cost 120 gold in total. If you want to garden for them you can harvest these from Ivy Leagues, Snap Dragons, and Ultra Dandelions.

RUBY –

You can get rubies from Yuji Hamada for 15 gold per. The total for the 6 Rubies you will need comes out to 90 gold. These can be harvested from Ivy Leagues, Snap Dragons, and Ultra Dandelions as well.

GLASS VIAL –

Glass Vials are another item you will need to buy or harvest instead of find. Yuji has these for sale for 125 gold per. You will spend a total of 1,250 gold on the 10 of these you will need. Only Burning Snap Dragons drop these as a harvest.

BLACK LOTUS –

This pretty flower is most common in Mooshu. Below this list, you will find pictures of my favorite places to find reagents in Mooshu. You can buy these from the Bazaar if any are available, and you can also harvest them from Giving Trees, Burning Snap Dragons, Evil Magma Peas, and Honey Bee Plants. Another way to get this reagent is by buying a Card Crafting table as shown below from Zhi Lan for 1,500 gold and the Black Lotus Card from Toshio for 300 gold. At the Card Crafting Table you will be able to transmute 10 Cattails and 10 Scrap Iron into a Black Lotus!

MIST WOOD –

If you do not already have an abundance of Mist Wood, the Bazaar should have some for sale for around 25-175 gold per. Dandelions, Fickle Pickles, Snap Dragons, Tiger Lilies, and Venus Fly Traps will drop these. You will be able to find these in the grassy areas of Wizard City, or simply around the Spiral as you quest. You will need a total of 30 Mist Wood.

POSSIBILITY DIRK –

SAPPHIRE –

You will not be able to find Sapphires lying around the spiral, and will need to buy them from Yuji Hamada for 15 gold per. For the 4 Sapphires you need, it will cost you 60 gold. You can harvest Sapphires from Burning Snap Dragons, Ivy Leagues, Snap Dragons, and Ultra Dandelions.

RUBY –

You can get these from Yuji Hamada for 15 gold per. The total for the 6 Rubies you will need for this recipe comes out to 90 gold.

GLASS VIAL –

Yuji has these for sale for 125 gold per. You will spend a total of 1,250 gold on there 10 of these you will need for this recipe.

ECTOPLASM –

Ectoplasm can only be found or bought. You can get these reagents from harvesting Orange Dandelions, Ultra Snap Dragons, and Ultra Trumpet Vines. If there are any in the Bazaar you can buy them for around 250 gold per, depending on how the prices are in the Bazaar. If you are doing the crafting quests after you have finished some main quests and you have access to Dragonspyre, you can buy the crafting recipe from Balthazar Dragonthorn in the Atheneum, he sells it for 150 gold. It takes 5 leather straps to transmute an ectoplasm.

STONE BLOCK –

Stone Blocks are fairly common to find, in almost all of the cities in the Spiral. Unfortunately, often times this reagent is sold out, so unless you want to spam refresh the Bazaar in hopes of being able to buy some of these, I would recommend trying to find them. Burning Snap Dragons, Snap Dragons, Fickle Pickles, Dandelions, and Tiger Lilies may drop this reagent at harvest. 30 stone blocks will be needed in total for this recipe.

Here are a few of the places I found my reagents;

These little dead ends are a great place to find reagents in all of the areas of Mooshu

Anywhere along the green pathways yield lots of reagents.

STEP 5 – COMPLETING THE QUEST!

Once you have collected the materials for the rings and crafted them, you can go hand in the “Legend of the two Rings” and you will receive the “Dirks of Daring” quest. Above, I showed you where to get the items you need for the two dirks. When you have finished crafting those you can turn this quest in to Toshio! He will compliment you on your dedication to the craft before he gives you the “Dragon your Feet” quest. He will also reward you with 2,220 gold for the dirks and 2,360 gold for the rings, and finally, your Adept Crafter badge! Congratulations wizard, next time we meet we will be in the land of the drakes and Malistaire himself.

Crafting101 – Marleybone

Posted on October 29, 2018December 15, 2018 by Ravynlea

Welcome to Crafting101 Wizard, or welcome back if you have been following along on this journey. Now that you have achieved your Apprentice Crafting Badge, I am sure you are excited to get the next badge, the Initiate Crafting Badge. Before you can begin this quest you need to get to Marleybone. In order to unlock Marleybone you will need to complete the last Krokotopia boss, Krokopatra. This purple Krokotopian boss is located in the Temple of Storms.

STEP 1 – FELICIA WORTHINGTON

Now that you have stepped out into Regent’s Square you are ready to track down Felicia Worthington to start the crafting quest. When you step out of the world gate room into Regent’s Square she will be down the road to your right. You will find the stylish lady hanging out beside the elevator to Digmoore Station. Once you find her and talk to her you will get the quest “Craft Services”.

STEP 2 – CRAFT SERVICES

Unlike the quest in Krokotopia, Felicia will tell you the 4 items she wants right off the bat instead of breaking it into two different quests. She wants 2 Stingers of the Scorpion and 2 Constellation Jewels. You will of course need to buy the recipes from Felicia, the Stinger costs 638 gold and the Jewels cost 675 gold. Since Felicia was kind enough to give us all the items we need to get to begin with, we can gather all the resources together! The Stingers will require 1 Citrine, 4 Glass Vial, 8 Scrap Iron, and 10 Mist Wood each, while the Jewels will require 1 Ruby, 2 Jades, 4 Glass Vial, 8 Scrap Iron, and 10 Stone Blocks. So in total for all 4 items we will need to gather 2 Citrines, 2 Rubies, 4 Jades, 16 Glass Vials, 32 Scrap Iron, 20 Mist Wood, and 20 Stone Blocks. This may seem like a lot of materials but if you gather items when you see them while questing you should get them all in no time!

STEP 3 – GATHERING THE REAGENTS

CITRINE –

You will need to get 2 Citrines in total. These reagents cannot be found and must be bought or farmed. You can buy these from Campbell Hodgson, the dapper dog beside Felicia for 15 gold a piece. By buying them you will spend 30 gold in total. If you have extra Ultra Dandelion, Ivy League, or Snap Dragon seeds these plants will drop Citrines.

RUBY –

You will need 2 Rubys in total. Rubies cannot be found in the Spiral, but you can also buy these from Campbell Hodgson for 15 gold per ruby. 30 gold will also be spent on these if you choose to buy them. Rubies can be harvested from Ivy Leagues, Snap Dragons, and Ultra Dandelions.

JADE –

4 Jades will be needed in total. You will have to buy or harvest these gems. Campbell sells these for 15 gold so you will spend 60 gold if you choose to go this route. Burning Snap Dragons, Snap Dragons, Ultra Dandelions, and Ivy Leagues drop these gems during harvest.

GLASS VIAL –

16 of these will have to be acquired. Glass Vials are yet again another item you will need to buy or harvest instead of find. Campbell also sells these for 125 gold per. You will spend a whopping 2,000 gold on Glass Vials if you choose to buy them. You can only find these by harvesting Burning Snap Dragons.

MIST WOOD –

If you do not already have a lot of Mist Wood, you will need 20 pieces of it. Mist Wood is common in the grassy areas of Wizard City or the sidewalks in Marleybone and Krokotopia. At the bottom of this list I have shown some of my favorite places to find many reagents in Marleybone, including Mist Wood. If you cannot find it you can buy it from the Bazaar if any is available for around 175 gold per. Dandelions, Fickle Pickles, Snap Dragons, Tiger Lilies, and Venus Fly Traps will drop these.

STONE BLOCK –

20 pieces of Stone Block is required for the items. Stone Blocks are fairly common to find, but not common at all in the Bazaar. Often times this reagent is sold out, so unless you want to spam refresh the Bazaar in hopes of being able to buy some of these, at 175 or so gold each, I would recommend trying to find them. Burning Snap Dragons, Snap Dragons, Fickle Pickles, Dandelions, and Tiger Lilies may drop this reagent at harvest.

SCRAP IRON –

Lastly, you will need to get a grand total of 32 pieces of Scrap Iron. I have some good news though, Scrap Iron can be found across the spiral and is fairly common in Marleybone. So while 32 pieces may seem like a lot, if you keep an eye open for reagents while questing in Marleybone, you should have them in no time! You can also buy them at the Bazaar for around 375 gold per 0-4 pieces. Burning Snap Dragons, Evil Magma Peas, Helephant Ears, and Venus Fly Traps will drop this reagent.

Here are some of my favorite places to find Reagents in Marleybone;

Near the teleporter hubs and teleporters there are often reagents to be found.

Near any of the walkways and clock towers or boss sigils there are plenty of reagents.

STEP 4 – COMPLETING THE QUEST

Now that you have all your ingredients, go back to your dorm and begin making the 2 Stingers and 2 Constellation Jewels that are required. You will have a 10 minute wait for members and a 20 minute wait for non-members in between some of the items. Once you have turned in your Stingers and Jewels, you will be awarded with 3,373 gold and your Initiate Crafter badge! You will also be given the next crafting quest, that will take place in Mooshu. Congratulations Wizard!
