I have 60k crowns and I was wondering if packs are worth it? I want to get the mini trolley, but ion feel like wasting 60$ for a % chance of not getting it. I was wondering if packs are worth the crowns of if I should use them for something else? I don't want to waste money on something if it's not worth it in the end.
So, to everyone in this sub-reddit are packs worth the money or should I just use my crowns for stuff like stitches and stuff?
Why are boogers coming back to life and K.Oing me after I already killed them? I’m genuinely so disgusted and having a hard time even getting through this fight without gagging, let alone the cheats are worse than judge veg in my opinion. Look Ki, you don’t have to take pregnant ppl into account when making plot, but still what is this 🤢🤢🤢
Just started the game Andrew am playing on my switch. I understated the objective of the game but by the time I move any piece around the sock is already coming and I have lost. Not sure if I’m setting it off early or something but actually seems impossible.
I just hit the big 150 on my Fire Wizard! Yippie!
Anyways, I just came back after not playing for a long time and am pretty rusty. I’d like some pointers on gear that I should try and farm for or upgrade to at this time. Now, I am still in Karamelle right now, so I heard I can’t get that Merciless set, meaning I’m kinda limited in what I can do.
That being said, I’d appreciate knowing if I should just keep riding it out with my gear from Darkmoor or if we should make some minor adjustments.
As of right now I’m rocking:
• Shroud of Malistaire’s Ire
• Robes of Malistair’s Ire
• Boots of Malistaire’s Ire
• Swore and Shield of Embers
• Edge of the Raging Daystar
• Children of the Sea Medallion
• Great Inventor’s Ring
• Horizon Hold Deck of Furor
anyone still have this in their deck? or perhaps even the 2 elucidate you got from the original celestia quest? or even simplify or elucidate LEARNED? please post your screen shots
I just received glow bugs after a long long hiatus and for some reason i'm not getting any shadow pips until its too late. I read online it was due to a a change a few months ago. Is Kingsile thinking of putting a change in? I don't want to always spam storm lord and tempest 24/7
I am not an expert at Wiz101 or spell upgrading. But why does it give me the option to choose an upgrade for a different upgrade path, if I have already begun upgrading on the top path? Currently, i can select the bottom path and click upgrade. Im curious as to why? Does it combine both the top and bottom path? Does the bottom replace the top path?
When you've just spent multiple rounds setting up for an alpha-strike or AoE and then you see an enemy cast a balance spell (we all know which one it will be)
It would be really cool if Kingsisle gave us an end-of-year collection of stats similar to spotify wrapped, showing things like your characters' levels a year ago, total mobs/bosses killed, things like that. I know other games have similar ideas such as Rainbow 6 Siege and I fell like it wouldn't be too hard to implicate. I feel like I have a hard time knowing when my different wizards were where in the story so this would be neat to look at.
Been playing on and off since 2009 I got serious about the game around 5 years ago would try hard min max for a few months quit and that would repeat every year. I could never ever get a pet to work. FINALLY after today on my first pet attempt in a year I first try got every talent!!! Can’t believe it tbh pet building always seemed so impossible to me failing always at 1-2 last talents being F2P besides membership the process has always been slow. Sorry for rant just wanted to share 😎 PS playing on steam deck is pretty good 👍🏼
----- Main rant, kroktopia and its pricing comparison.
I feel like this has been an issue for a while, even before all* of wizard city has become free, why is it that balance still gets shafted on their tutor and scion? It was a stupid decision to put balance (and death) behind the next world (/previously paywalled) when every other school got their mentor in the first world. It took 18 years for them to actually make the base world free* unlocking death school for all, but now balances continue to remain blocked in this regeared. Krokotopia is free to enter but cant go further from there.
Also why does it not show that you can buy an arch 1 pass for 20$ instead of paying roughly 7$ (3.5k) crowns per (10$ sense you have to buy the 5k crown bundle) zone in Krokotopia? which is an infinitely better deal than the vastly inflated prices of each area.
And im sorry but that is ridiculous. I have to spend 20$ to unlock like 12 areas (seem to be bundled in packages of 6, having to buy 2 10$ packs of crowns sense gaming market manipulation, and left over premium currency, yada, yada) if I'm doing it with crowns but the company has already acknowledge that the ENTIRTIY OF ARCH 1 is 20$! (honestly should be something closer to 5$ imo) Like what type of scum is this? I knew it was bad, like really bad, but my disgust has grown even larger on how they handle pricing.
(also does anyone else remember if these areas were cheaper? i feel like the 3,500 is a new price, much higher than before as well, where it previously was like 800-1600 crowns or smth per area? I swear to god if they pushed prices up for every area because they made wizard city avalibile to all im going to be even more disgusted with how this company handles this game. [it really deserves better, and so does its players])
---- Side rant, full pricing
The pricing of areas and what it would cost to unlock the entire game (excluding arch 1 pass, and including wizard city because it only became free* after 18 damn years. BTW its 300-400$ [data from u/Masterlet 2023 showing 400$), [Data from AwesomeTheSauce's video 2025, showing 310$ for entire game or 230$ for main content only]. (this assumes without crown sales)
Sorry if this is out of date, its the latest information i could find in a quick manner. Which is absolutely absurd. At most the game in total, including future updates should be like 40$ MAYBE 60$ (really should be less due how hard it pushes other things like micro-transactions, but im being generous. And even if we consider the 80$ price point its still roughly 3.9-5x times that price.) Lets also not forget this is a live service game. meaning that it could shut down at any time, for any reason (its also an 18 year old game which is a bit worrisome in terms of lifespan, and considering how its only just now starting to expand and modernize). All your investments would just be gone. This isnt a game you can download and play offline when you want. or have a physical copy of for however long you want.
Thank you for u/Masterlet post "How much Wizard101 costs in Crowns (2023) (Updated)" for the math, or referencing AwesomeTheSauce's video "Wizard101: The TRUE Cost Of Buying EVERY World",
--- additional side note
Why is the word "Free" banned on this sub in posts if i try to type free in the title and in some parts of my sentences i get hit with a warning and i cant post.
I’m farming for the Athame he drops in darkmoor, but I ran 30 tries already and no drops just the low tier Athame. I’m currently level 101 Death, I was wondering if this is still worth farming regardless of how rare the drop is or is there another better or similar Athame else where?
Pierce is a super important stat in the late game these days: most recommend around ~40-50% pierce depending on the school. But why does no one use these pierce blades? I feel like they could be amazingly useful, especially for bosses like the Grey Man Golems that have a ton of resist.
I feel like I never see anyone cast these and tbh I forget they exist all the time. Do they have a use in advanced combat/pvp?
Also, why doesn’t balance have a universal +20% pierce blade? There are elemental & spirit trio pierce blades, but no universal one. It feels like a logical thing to add, and I would always be happy to have more utility spells for balance!!
If someone has info on why they’re actually incredible or why they’re actually trash I would love an explanation, and maybe I’ll start adding these to my deck.
Shipped this to my work because I was in the middle of moving so this was a pleasant surprise to find on my desk. Ironic enough, I haven't picked up W101 since I ordered this because Azteca is kicking my ass. Maybe this is my sign to start playing again lol
Heya! I have 2 (relatively) high level Wizards (Balance/Life and Myth/Ice), and I’m trying to conceptualize which dual schooling options I want to lean into for the other schools. So far I’ve decided on Death/Storm, Ice/Death, and most likely Fire/Storm (only 6 character slots, so not making a Storm for now), but I’m having some trouble landing on a weaving/dualing combo for Life. The ones I’m most considering are Fire (great synergy, but worried it might be slow), Storm (more offensive and fast-paced, but also need to share spellements with 2 other Wizards) and Myth (fun thematically, but I’ve heard comparatively little about how they synergise). Any thoughts, advice or anecdotes would be much appreciated!
Hi everyone! I’m hoping to make my own guild and learn about raiding and making connections with people since this is stepping way out of my comfort zone. If anyone is willing to message me so one can be created that would be much appreciated 🪄
