Shark Week

Posted on August 7, 2020August 26, 2020 by Erin EagleCaller

Happy Shark Week!

Hello Wizards, it’s Erin EagleCaller, and Shark Week is here! All week in Wizard101, we’re celebrating the fantastic sharks of the Spiral!

During this event, you have a chance to catch the Warhammerhead as well as all seven Stubby Sharks. It’s also the perfect time to catch the seasonal fish, the Basking in the Sun Shark! You can find these magnificent fish scattered in various locations throughout the Spiral.

Shark Week comes to the Spiral but once a year. Usually near the end of July or the first week of August. Yet, it’s one of the few times; we can find all the Stubby Sharks together (except the Warhammerhead). It’s a big opportunity for Wizard101’s Fishing enthusiasts. You won’t want to miss it!

In light of this, allow me to fill you in on how you can catch these magical fish.

Warhammerhead and Stubby Sharks

The best spots to find the Warhammerhead and Stubby Sharks are in the Commons and Northguard. Since they’re both Rank 2, use the Rank 2 Winnow to help find them. Then using Reveal Fish School spell to help catch them all.

You’ll want to use the corresponding lure to the shark that you want to catch. I’d suggest a minor or common fishing lure of the same school to capture them.

If you don’t have the Rank 2 Winnow spell, you can get around it using Reveal Fish Rank 1. Because the Warhammerhead and the Stubby Sharks are all Rank 2 fish, the spell won’t mark them. That way, you can be sure that it is a Warhammerhead or Stubby Shark! Remember, all Stubby Sharks are the same rank regardless of school.

Basking in the Sun Shark

Don’t forget to catch the Summer Fish, the Basking in the Sun Shark! They’re staying with us for the entire Summer; if you don’t find one during Shark Week, don’t fret! Remember to snag one before the season ends to complete your shark collection.

The Commons is the best choice for finding the Basking in the Sun Shark. Using reveal fish school, take notice to which are fish are Fire school. Then using any Fire Lure, you’ll want to catch the larger fish in the pond. The Basking in the Sun Shark is almost double the length of your lure, making them easy to spot.

Shark Locations

Warhammerhead

The Warhammerhead is in Wizard City’s Triton Avenue; yet, they’re not a common catch. So, it’s not the ideal spot to find them.

This shark is also found in Grizzleheim. Look for them in Northguard, Helgrind Warren, Mirkholm Keep, and the Vigrid Roughland.

This fish can be housed in a Regular Aquarium

Stubby Sharks and Basking in the Sun Sharks

Stubby Sharks and Basking in the Sun Sharks have a wide range of fishing spots. They’re in Wizard City, Krokotopia, Mooshu, Grizzleheim, Zafaria, and Avalon.

In Wizard City, they are in the Commons. If you’ve begun the Immortal Games in Aquila, these sharks are also in the Garden of Hesperides.

As for the other worlds, you can find them in the Oasis, the Jade Palace, Northguard, the Baobab Crossroads, and Caliburn.

Although less common, the Basking in the Sun Shark can be found in every Castle or House that has a fishing pond.

Both of these fish can be housed in a Regular Aquarium.

Legendary Ice PVP

Posted on February 18, 2019March 2, 2019 by Ravenwood Community Guest Author

Today’s topic is going to be pretty chill as we get into Legendary Ice PvP. The best level for Legendary Ice is definitely 66. My character was level 66 for the purposes of this article. Now, why Legendary ice? As ice you have loads of health a lot of resist so tanking long enough to stay alive and hit isn’t usually a problem. I had a fun time getting to Warlord.

I went with a well balanced setup. I chose to play to this schools strengths with lots of resist, decent damage, and pierce. For ice, it’s easy to get these stats especially with a ward pet. My basic strategy for this school was to save pips and use a combo.

Gear

For this setup use House of Scales or Waterworks hat for the excellent well-rounded stats. The Shivering Breath Robes is best for damage, critical and resist. You can craft this robe in Zafaria. My set up also uses the Professor’s Hoard pack boots. An Immortal’s Lore pack wand for it’s damage and pierce. The Duelist ring and athame for damage and pierce. A Life Mastery amulet and a resistance pet. As for the deck, I use House of Scales for the accuracy boost.

You will also need to get Winter Moon and Reindeer Knight. These spells will help with stuns, get rid of minions, and keep pressure on your opponent.

I actually made Leaderboards on this character, as I kept pushing. It was fun, and I enjoyed it.

ScHool Specialty

Your goal as an Ice is to keep applying pressure. Chip away at their health with attacks. Using over time attacks will deal damage, and suppress their attacks as well. Blades are your best friend.

Deck Setup

3 Freeze, 3 Frostbite, 5 ice blades, 3 ice dispels, 3 Reindeer Knight, 3 Snow Angel, 4 Steal ward, 3 Stun Block, 5 Towers, 3 Volcanic shield, 2 Balefrosts, 4 Winter Moon, maxed out Colossal enchants, 3 Gargantuan enchants, 3 Snow Serpent, 3 Fairy, 3 Satyr, 3 Reshuffle, and 2 balance dispels.

Treasure Card Deck

3 Ice blades, 4 Tower Shields, 5 Gargantuan, 3 Sanctuary, 1 Shatter, 3 Cleanse charms, 2 Reshuffle, 3 Elemental blades, 2 Weakness, 2-3 triage, and 1-2 lord of winter.

General Strategy

The main strategy is to outlive your opponent and continue attacking. This is slow gameplay and it will add up with combos. I always blade into an overtime attack when I can. I have 3 different types of over time attack. One is a single target and Two are all one enemy attacks. I fought a lot of Wizards with minions, with all one enemy attacks it was convenient for me to kill them.

What if you get hit by a Myth with shift? That’s why we have resist to our own school. That way you can survive your own hit, and be able to heal back. I don’t go too crazy with blades when I DoT (Damage Over Time). Usually, I save that for when I get an open shot to hit with Wintermoon, lord of Winter, or any other direct damage hit. The DoTs are also meant to get rid of shields, and DoTs work well against spammers.

Heal when your health gets low, you’re going to be tanking a lot. You’ll have the pip advantage to do so when you’re setting up to do those constant attacks. Use Sanctuary or Balefrost when they Doom, they will always try to stop you from healing.

That wraps up this article on Legendary ice PvP. I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, reply in the comments section below. Thanks for reading!

Fishing: Code Wands

Posted on February 1, 2019February 4, 2019 by Erin EagleCaller

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.

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.
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.
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.
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:

Legendary Storm PvP

Posted on January 14, 2019February 8, 2019 by Ravenwood Community Guest Author

Hello, and welcome to Legendary Storm PvP. I know, shocking. Why Legendary Storm PvP you may ask? When I was playing Wizard101, back when PvP was popular among my friends, we all liked Legendary PvP. The not so high stats, the no use of shadow pips, the little grind we did to get House of Scales or Waterworks gear was all fun. As a Legendary Storm, it was definitely a journey. Why Storm and why not Balance though? Good question. I liked that nobody ever really chose this school to solo, nor do I need to be just like everyone else and make one. I liked Storm for its high damage and pierce and the way it handles itself.

PvP as a Legendary nowadays is easy, fun, and sometimes unpredictable. I can guarantee I don’t win every one of my matches, but most. To those reading, you have to either farm Loremaster for some spells, craft or buy packs, depending on your preference. As some spells are wanted in PvP. For example, my storm has Queen Calypso, a card I use to bring out the utility of my spells, and the Damage Per Second it provides. I suggest crafting to those who don’t want to farm or buy packs, as it is one of the fastest ways to get the spells, believe it or not.

Gear and Stats

My Storm specializes in quick attacks, ending the rounds easily, and has high damage and pierce at 65. For a Storm, I would suggest going for high damage and pierce over critical, because of the critical nerf.

The gear that would be a good set up for Damage and Pierce would be:

Robe: House of Scales – Lower Zigazag Vestment
Hat: House of Scales – Lower Zigazag Headdress
Boots: Professor’s Hoard Pack – Halston’s Stormy Slippers
Wand: Immortal’s Lore Pack – Aquilan Velite Lance
Ring: Vendor: Brandon Mistborn – Duelist’s Daredevil Ring
Athame: Vendor: Brandon Mistborn – Duelist’s Fatal Razor
Amulet: Lower Zigazag – Condemned Soldier’s Charm
Mount: Avalon Outlaw’s Bundle – Vulpine Avenger Mount for pierce OR
Mount: Ghulture’s Hoard Pack – Storm Ghulture for damage
Pet: Any pet with all 5 talents being damage for maximum damage output, and socketing a Spell Proof Jewel

Pierce Jewels are needed on your Ring and Athame.

Circle Jewel: Plain Piercing Amethyst +3% pierce
Tear Jewel: Plain Health Opal +65 health
Triangle Jewel: Plain Pip Opal +6% power pip chance
Square Jewel: Plain Defense Opal +16 universal resist
Triange Jewel: Plain Accurate Amethyst +7 storm accuracy

With all the gear and jewels equipped your storm should have 125 Damage, 32 resist, 27% accuracy, 54% critical chance, 20% pierce and 79% power pip chance. We will also be using Infallible before we hit which gives an additional 15% accuracy and pierce over 4 rounds.

Spells Trained through Training Points

Ice School – Tower Shield
Sun School – Gargantuan
(Prepare for the weird one) Fire School – Phoenix, Infection, and Stun Block.

Main Deck Set Up

6 Queen Calypso’s
Max Damage enchants, thus being Gargantuan
3 Lightning Bats
5 Wild Bolts
4 Tower Shields
3 Volcanic Shields
3 Glacial Shields
3 Pixies

3 Darkwinds
2 Storm Dispells
3 Storm Shark
2 Insane Bolts
3 Storm Lord
2 Storm Snakes
4 Storm Blades

Side Deck Set Up

Now, for that phoenix spell I mentioned earlier – you are going to want to enchant a lot of them from the Mutate Phoenix spell.

The Spell Thunderbird has such high utility, as it gives you x3 +30% traps universally, pack 3 of them.

2 Storm Lord
4 Tower Shields
5 Infallible
3 Kraken
5 side Queen Calypso
3 Triton
2 Storm Shark
3 Triage
2 Gargantuan

Strategy

The goal is to hit as fast as possible, preferably trying to pull an infallible first round to get that maximum amount of Pierce through the first couple of hits. If you can get infallible up, you can then hit with multiple Queen Calypsos and small hits, dealing good damage, and keeping them on the defensive.

If your opponent hasn’t stun shielded, that’s where Storm Lord comes in play. Switch back from playing offensively and defensively as you will need to make sure you can be able to out damage per second them and survive. Don’t just hit randomly, as we’re built on strategy. Make combined hits that make sense.

For example, you have the pips needed for the 5 pipped Thunderbird. You cast that into a Queen Calypso, giving you a +30% and a +20% traps on your opponent, making use of that utility you have.

Avoid spamming cards like a wild bolt or insane bolt as you are wasting pips. Use a Wild bolt to get off a shield, or start off with a hit, or need to get rid of a card.
Infection is for your heal spammers, and with all the pierce you have, it’s fine to hit through shields. All your other hits, use in situations where you know your opponent is open, and you can do mass damage. All spells and all battles aren’t all the same. Different situations occur, just have to be patient and committed to learn and understand what to do in different situations.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the guide. If you got any questions, my Discord is 𝕴𝖓𝖋𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖆𝕲𝖆𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖌 #1999, and I will gladly answer all questions related to storm Legendary PvP.

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.
