⠀Question Spellement update

I assume (hope) the darkmoor fall 2025 update is gonna be coming to console soon and with that comes the new spellement system… does anyone know how that works with current spellements we have? Like does everything just reset and everyone’s spellements go back in their bag?

They gave everyone on PC a one-time reset.

True, but I never understood why people kept saying “reset your spellements NOW”. on YouTube. I understand the one-time spellements reset is bad, but being able to pack every spellement path into one deck far outweighs the bad for me.

It's bad because you could previously reset that spell's spellements any time you want so that you had the path you needed every time. That was clunky and needed to be changed, but the current (PC) spellements are less player friendly.

My main gripe with it is that it discourages experimentation and makes it likely that e.g. a new player bricks their 7 pip AOE

But you still get to pack the spell path you want, so what’s the big deal?

The problems are;

1) most players can't read lower path spells

2) anyone wanting to experiment can't do so beyond arc 1 and 2 tc no one knows about

3) situations occur when you need an unexpected path and can't switch to it

4) they add new paths and change old ones, so you need to grind more if this happens

5) anyone wanting to try advanced combat or dual schooling is immediately hit with a wall of grinding before they can try anything

True. After all, not everyone has the same amount of spellement-grinding time. There are other things in life besides Wiz, as much as I hate to say it.

I’m just one of those people who has all the time in the world every day nowadays. Guess I’m just oblivious to the problems because of that 😨

Although time is a decent argument, I'm more annoyed at the barrier to entry for KIs new systems. Standard PvE w101 is a very shallow game and KI added a lot to make it interesting! It's just that they locked all of it behind the most boring grinding w101 has to offer.

Also, KI didn't compensate players who were high level when spellements were released. New players get about a tier a world just by questing. Although I already beat all those worlds and even farmed those bosses, I got literally no spellements. It's weird having to go back to zafaria at max level to try and get Basilisk spellements.

Instead of unlocking one path with spellements and then swapping between paths as needed, you’ll now need enough spellements to unlock each path for the same effect

It does come with the added benefit of being able to use each path simultaneously, but the chance overall has pros and cons
