Ice School Guide to 99% Resist

Posted on by
Have you ever wondered how you could increase the resistance on your level 110 Ice Wizard? Well, Ravenwood Academy is here to help. Let us guide you on the right gear and pet to achieve 99% universal resist in Wizard101.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, can this be true? Imagine having ninety-nine percent universal resist… Sounds amazing right? Well, like all good things it won’t be easy. So, lets begin.
An Ice Wizard with that kind of resist isn’t dying any time soon, unless the opposing party has a LOT of pierce. Even then, it will take some time to defeat an Ice Wizard with almost complete immunity. Now, if that doesn’t sound like a worthy challenge for any Ice Wizard, I don’t know what is.
 
Its pretty fun to show other Wizards how amazing Ice school can be with all that resist. Spamming shields, Boss battles, leveling with friends, farming. Your team will be become unstoppable as you take the “damage” for them.
 
Now on to the fun part…. Where and how do we get the items we need to achieve all that resist?

Hat

The first thing you will need is the Jade Hood of Mystery. At level 110, it gives 22 Universal Resist, 6 % Power Pip chance, +340 Health, 6% Incoming and 5% Outgoing Healing. This Hat Comes from the “Keeper’s Lore Pack” and sells for 399 Crowns per pack.

**Note for newer players if you are not level 110 or higher it will not give you these stats!!**

Robes

Next, the Jade Robe of Mystery. It gives 23 Universal Resist, 4 % Power Pip chance, +480 Health, 5% Outgoing Heal, and +40 Critical Block at level 110. You can get this robe from the “Keeper’s Lore Pack.”

Boots

Then, the “Rockstar Kicks.” Patt Minotaur, in the once shot Gauntlet, “Battle of the Bands”, drops this rare item. These boots give +224 Health, 6 % Power Pip chance, +85 Critical Block, +6 % Damage, 18% Universal Resist at level 100.

Amulet

Now for the Amulet, the “Arcanum Exile Snowflake Torc”. Many bosses in Polaris including Boris the Boarder, Colonel Orlov, Marshal Gill, and the Rat, all drop it. The Amulet itself gives +326 Health, +88 Critical Block, +6 Universal Resist. It also gives one card, the Bolstered Ward.

Athame

The Heartsteel is an Athame you can get at Level 5 from the Crowns Shop. It gives +45 Health, and +5 Resist. You can buy it for 260 crowns. Or, you if you would rather, you can farm it from Prince Gobblestone. He is a rank 3 boss located in Colossus Boulevard, in Wizard City.

Ring

The ring you need is “Elissa’s Chill band”, which is for level 66+. It gives +415 Health, +165 Mana, 8% Power Pip chance, +3 Universal Resist, +54 Ice Critical Block, +2% Ice Damage, and 4% Incoming Healing. Now, how do you get this ring? Well, let me tell you, there are 11 bosses and mobs that drop it in Zafaria!! They are, Amedras Lightstep, Blackback Soldier, Custos Decimus, Ghuerruld, Goliath Bruiser, Gorilla Spider Witch, Oya Bloodstorm, Shadow- Web Haunt, Shaka Zebu, The Hoarder, and Tse-tse Snaketail. If you don’t have luck with one, try another!

Wand

Next, we have the wand, “Katana of Takanobu’s Wrath.” It gives +1 Universal Resist, and +1 Power Pip, as well as 5 wand hit cards. It also has a “Shift Ninja Pig” May-Cast. Takanobu the Masterless in the Cave of Solitude Wooden Key Room, in Mooshu, drops this rarely seen wand.

Pet Stats

Finally, this set-up wouldn’t be complete without a resist pet. Strive for Relentless, Mighty, Unshakeable, and Durable even though they are usually considered selfish talents. In this pet, they boost the standard Proof + Defy to provide extra universal defense. In a pet with base stats of 255 strength and 260 agility, these talents will increase that to 360 strength and 400 agility which determine the pet’s final resistance.

 
 

Well, there you have it! This is currently the best resist available. 99% Resist for Ice School is the highest that we can currently go. I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes open for gear that will take us to a full 100%. Until then, so long wonderful Wizards, cya when 100% resist is possible.

Ice Guide to 100% Critical

Posted on by

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%.

Angry Snowpig Recipe

The spell Angry Snowpig is a 4 pip Ice spell and is one of the new additions to the Loremaster spells. It was added in the Wysteria Hoard Pack in July 2017, This spell does 235-295 Ice damage, and steals one shield from your opponent. This is an amazing utility spell if your opponent uses a shield such as frozen armor. To craft Angry Snowpig you will have to buy this recipe for 12,000 gold.
