What are the most embarrassing mistakes you've made while playing Wizard101? I want to hear the stories!

[cassidyhayes]

I’ve been playing since 2012 and when I say playing I mean I never had the money to go past the triton avenue and cyclops lane quests. It’s amazing to see how in depth this game really is now that I’m an adult and wanna play seriously.

Hard disagree on cheats though - as an old-school mmo head there’s way more metatext on these games than ever before and it’s completely shifted the expectations for the skill (really knowledge) floor. Whether as a matter of taste or accessibility, it bears considering how much information outside of the game it’s fair to as a community require other players to access, understand and reference.

Just as you mentioned not wanting story spoilers, some feel the exact way about the battling system itself. Just checking cheats would still completely undermine the intuitive learning of experimenting with battle - it would be a spoiler.

I think all mmo players need to get better at communicating preferred play-style and adapting to their present team (not meta). The solution for a battle interested player isn’t to undermine their enjoyment of the game because it makes your grind life easier. It’s to communicate their interests and goals to find a team that fits, and for players to have the flexibility for that to be possible.

It’s a strategy game, not a cookbook after all.

Fun fact from a vet of 10+ years, the gold section is actually not a scam, it is just outdated. Up to 2012ish pets were offered in the bazaar and could cost up to 60-70K gold. Back then the gold cap was somewhere around 130K. People who bought gold skipped the grind. That is why the option is still there

I really wish they could make the MOON SCHOOL SPELLS actually viable in PVE and PvP. The Moon animation for casting is so beautiful. Moon spells don't need to be just polymorphs? Maybe you can make a video about spell ideas, or Moon stuff if you feel like it.

The “secondary school” point is something I found out on my own recently at level 48 lol.

To be perfectly honest, you can get away with not really tactfully choosing optimal spells up until around dragonspyre just fine.

Once you’re there though, you’ll quickly find out that you no longer have the time required to use spells like stormzilla that take 5 pips and that only do like 1000 damage MAX if you have a trap and some stats for storm as a pyromancer.

She mentioned the best spells to shoot for already, but seriously the three cards you should spend skill points on are: tower shield, feint, and saytr. You only really need any combination of two of those, but I chose saytr and tower shield for that sweet survivability and to support team mates in between attacks.

This should legit be the first video that comes up when anyone googles how to play wizard101 and crowns wizard101. Your absolutely right buying crown packs and items 90% of the time is not worth it. KI loves to take as much as they can from there community while giving very little back. Sadly they are a awful company who doesn't care about there consumers.

Wow this was really informative, I’ve been on Wizard since the beginning but not a hardcore player so I made so many of these mistakes and am now trying to repair them. Thanks for all the information

11:55 something to note about Ferric's pet copying guide, its a tad bit outdated nowadays as we do not really advocate for using blood bats. He has stated he is going to release an updated guide but just a rule of thumb do not use a blood bat they are way too sticky.

[connorhanby]

I started playing this game again. I played when I was a kid more than 10 years ago but I didn't have a membership so i was stuck in the beginning. it's so nostalgic coming back. I wonder if its adults like me that are playing this game now

[thundereagle]

Im recently getting back into the game since i used to played as a kid and couldn’t but any areas, i just truly love that so many other people still play and have a passion for this game, im still super early in the game but i love that theres so many videos like this giving guidance and that so many people still play this game it makes me feel whole that i can fully enjoy a game from my childhood

[alphaw]

Haven't played in like 8 years and looking to get back in. Thanks for the information

[sylverserf]

Mistake number eleven. Having more than one wizard. With six wizards, it's more work than fun. Just stick with one wizard.

[Bubbl]

Found this vid pretty late lol but it’s really good, everything you covered is essential knowledge for someone starting out in wiz.

You should have maybe mentioned gardening when talking about pet training since gardening is the easiest and cheapest source for mega snacks especially if you take advantage of the double gardening member benefit.

[ChaosDragon]

Life wizard dabbling in storm magic was the exact mistake I made back in 2009 when I first started playing 😂. I had to buy crowns to reset my training points(this was before they ever introduced a free buyback promotion).

Excellent tips, but I have 2 more.

1. For crafting, you can get away with just having one wizard be the crafter at max craft wizard. Then craft the gear on the max craft wizard and transfer the gear over via shared bank to your other wizard that will use it. However, if you want to craft a spell, then you will have to get the wizard you want the spell on to the necessary craft level, which will most likely be legendary crafter for the Avalon spells.

2. It can be helpful to not only have your main account, but make a second account that only has one wizard on it and is just a level 1 wiz with no membership on the second account. This second account will be helpful for transferring tc's to a different character on your main account. Of course if you have a friend you trust, you can always do it that way, but if you do not know anyone personally in real life that plays the game then I recommend you make a second account solely for this purpose because lets say your farming lore master on your fire wiz but you get pigie tc, well now you can transfer that pigie tc to your life wizard where it is useful to craft the spell.

The 2 mistakes I made, the most, while playing wiz was buying packs at like level 30 (over 70k crowns worth) and until like level 60 I had a deck of >10 cards when I was mobbing...

[johndanielson]

I've been playing Wiz since launch but I just discovered your channel and you are very informative and funny! Keep making videos!

This game has changed a lot since i first played in 2009
