thanks for keeping this stuff alive. your dedication to unearthing and tracking down evidence of these needle-in-a-haystack like facts from a game thats practically a relic itself is just so heartwarming, due simply to the way it has brought people together and brought back so many memories, it's nice to have a sense of community in these trying times. sometimes you know people you played a game online with better than your own neighbors 😂
I really appreciate your kind words. That truly means a lot! And my pleasure :) Even though these videos take a ton of time and effort, I absolutely love making them. It’s become such a passion of mine. And reading through everyone’s wonderful comments makes it all worthwhile! 😁
I'm so glad you had the fizzling spell segment, I thought I was going mad, I knew deep down I could hear a very subtle difference every time it was a fizzle.
Lmaooo nope, you’re completely sane! In fact most people don’t even notice, so if anything you’re extremely perceptive for picking up on it. Good stuff 😎👍
The only sign that i know im going to fizzle (for fire) is that when the flame particles go pale or dying out, but when successfully casted the flame particles give vibrant and bright firey-orangey flaming red.
Fun fact about the fizzle effects, death is the only school whose fizzle effect has a visual component too, that small dot in the center of the sigil will be completely opaque while when it's not fizzling will fade out Second regarding the Arcanum, I wanted to point out there's no teachers, they're scholars, folk dedicated to learning more about magic, and creating more not necessarily reaching or specifically saving the world
Gladrocker, I’ve noticed for a long time when the fire spell will fizzle and it’s not only because of the audio. The flame when casting is coloured slightly more pale when fizzling
I remember the Tournament ad as well. The animated part is what I remember least quite honestly, seeing something Wiz-related in live action feels so high-budget nowadays haha
that’s awesome you remember seeing the tournaments commercial! this is the first time i’ve seen it. And agreed - i wish ki put out more high quality animations like this!
dude these types of videos are my favourite. searching through the depths of our favourite childhood game and bringing us new facts about wizard101 that we never knew about is actually just so interesting and nostalgic to watch. keep it up my guy! edit: i hope you didnt actually mean "one more time" :(
I’m so glad the fizzling sound was brought up. I remember when I first noticed this, I spent hours trying to hear the difference and got really good at it. It’s been a while now and since I main as life, I hardly ever fizzle so I can’t hear as well as I used to but that segment brought back a lot of good memories
Btw, I have an account that can access the Spiral Geographic Society gauntlet in Marleybone, the retired dungeon that requires 4 wizards to complete and was scrapped due to being too difficult. Do you want a TFC and want to see?
not only does the sound of the casting animation is different, the look of the class icons are different too, the death one is by far the easiest to tell. As i play i learn them more and more.
This. All of the icons get a subtle smokiness to their visuals before they fizzle, but the Death one straight up looks like it's cracking and falling apart. I think for audio, Storm is actually the easiest to tell because it's significantly more high-pitched when fizzling.
Was coming to say that! You’ll see the dust from the fizzle on the top of the logo prior to fizzling; fire seems to glow brighter as well, At least I’ve noticed I could be wrong.
@@Wizarduser101 yeah the fire one is a brighter tone more like a yellow then a normal orange color of the flame, it looks really cool. And then the fire also sounds like smoke going out, the attention to detail is really cool
It was likely changed because “Dr Von’s monster” is much easier to spell than “Katzenstein’s monster” when trying to communicate to the group in chat that you’re using the 9 pip death spell
not sure if there's anymore wizard101 lore/nostalgia/forgotten facts/or any creepy things to dive into, but if there is PLEASE make a video! i know you spend so much time and put so much effort into these videos, and man am i thankful. theres so many things i forgot about and wizard101 is so nostalgic to me! i love ur videos, thanks for everything!
haha i totally thought i was delusional and made up the fizzle sound difference! anyways, thank you so much for continuing these videos. I've watched both of your iceberg videos about w101 multiple times, and as someone whos been playing since 2009, I love the nostalgia and memories the iceberg & obscure videos bring me. these kinds of wiz videos are my favorite- no online gambling, no pvp drama, and its not just opinion based. you talk about facts, bring nostalgia, and show clips that are related to what you're speaking about. i absolutely adore these videos- please never stop! they bring younger madi so much excitement haha. i love them so much! thank you gladrocker!
Thank you Madi! That’s awesome you’ve been playing wiz for so long. And I really appreciate your kind words - Means a lot! Comments like these keep me motivated to continue putting out the best content I can! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying all my content, and I can’t wait for you to watch my next big vid I’m working on right now! 🙏
Just as I thought I knew everything, you've proven me wrong again! Only thing on this list I knew about, but had forgotten, was the Tournament animation!
If you are planning on more videos, there are some glitches that were possible back in the day and were then patched out, like the housing gauntlet glitch that allowed you to farm any gauntlet in public houses and the porting glitch that allowed you to go through doors (like the closed gates in the labyrinth dungeon)
I thought I was going CRAZY with the fizzle thing. I’ve been playing wiz since it first came out and now I’m a pro at figuring out when a spell is abt to fizzle 😂
You know what is a really good missed opportunity that I haven't seen any Wizard101 UA-camrs do as of yet, we see many UA-camrs do it for Star Wars and Harry Potter content. "What if..." videos!!! Exploring different ideas and could make plethora of content covering that premise
Finding footage of an obscure decade-old exploit is so cool to see. Also I completely forgot about the tournament ad, it was wild to see it again. The guy playing the storm wizard looks like Jeremy Shada, but I can't find the casting listed anywhere so I might just be crazy. Either way, another great video, love the effort you put in big dawg
Woahhh! Great catch! That would be crazy if the voice actor for Finn was actually in a wiz commercial lmao! Too bad the casting’s not listed online anywhere. Guess that makes sense for such an obscure old TV commercial lol. Appreciate ya as always! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed 😎
Fitting that the footage shows an item called the Headdress of Refutation, as if the very piece of equipment is refuting the idea that that you couldn't do this.
I remember watching that tournaments commercial when it aired! I'd completely forgotten it existed though. And about Cyrus only teaching spells up to Earthquake, I guess they must have used an older version of the character or something, because those were the only spells available to learn from him when I first played the game in 2009.
A similar bug to the last one was when they added the level 90 requirement for either the ring or the athame from the secret bosses in Aquila.. but I knew someone who had it equipped even though he was less than level 90
I remember that pvp commercial, boy that unlocked a memory. I’m surprised most people don’t talk about it anymore, I definitely used to see it so much when it aired I could quote the live action bits
Also, I’m pretty sure they changed it from Katzenstein’s monster to Dr. von’s because the text was coming off the card! I still call it katzenztein’s, though. Also this is pointless since apparently on some players’ screens one of the wallaru spells has text coming off the card (difference in an ‘s)
That’s awesome you were able to quote the TV commercial! 🤣 And ooh great point! That makes a lot of sense. That’s strange they allowed it with the Wallaru spell though!
I remember the PvP commercial because I thought the IRL versions of the wizards looked cool and I was a PvPer myself so I thought it was neat of them to advertise PvP 😂
That’s awesome you’re saying that! I actually have tossed around the idea a lot, and I think I eventually will start making some pokemon vids! (But i still have a long list of wiz vids to make, so it wouldn’t be for a while!) 😄
I really love the way you present your videos. There were so many things here I didn't know like the gnome's ears being upside down or the cartoon network Pokémon thing! Good job Gladrocker! 🥺💙
Thank you so much again for your kind words. It really means a lot. I am so happy you are continuing to enjoy my content! Can’t wait for you to watch my future vids! 😄
I remember the tournament commercial! I used to watch TV all the time as a child, and I remember always seeing that commercial on TV at my grandparents house!
with the fizzling spell audio. Storm and Myth are quite easy to tell. also I've seen the tournaments commercial back then, but I wasnt into tournaments in 2013. back then I took part in the Lost Pages event when that debuted in 2013 and was trying to get to Azteca but was getting stuck at Avalon
there used to be a visual glitch for fizzling when using a fire spell from your pet, (firezilla for example) the fire school sign would be sooooo bright everytime you fizzled
THe tournament one I remember seeing, it was my favorite commercial. It mixed both real life and depiction of the games combat in another more eye candy form of 3D. These commercials were so enjoyable as repetitve as they aired.
Great vid, @12:43 This wasn't the original arena. OG's remember for years the arena was TINY and there were no NPC's fighting as we there was a barrier in the arena. Just search wizard101 original arena
Also with the new arena change, it was possible before (and maybe now idk) to get a quest from Diego that asks you to go in and read the books in the arena. However since the books were removed/changed it's impossible to complete the quest. That's another bug I guess, the only way to get rid of it was to contact ki support lol
Great video, I've been playing this game for so long and its nice to see all these memories I had since I was a kid come back to me. Maybe your next videos can go over all the historical references or pop culture references w101 makes. I know Grizzleheim and aquila have a ton.
the cyrus in nightside is an older version of cyrus from before he taught those spells, the ones you highlighted were all added later on when they got spellement paths to allow other schools to use the spells
You can tell when a spell will fizzle when a Deckathalon event is going on if you use a treasure card. If the card fizzles you won’t get the point, if you don’t fizzle you’ll get the point right away. Also, if use an enchantment treasure card you’ll get the point when the spell you enchanted is played successfully instead of when you use the enchantment spell.
Hey Glad, I have a weird thing that happens to me on Wiz (with proof) So I’ve completed every quest in the game (main, side, gardening, crafting, fishing, and daily assignments). When I go to use Quest Finder in any world, it will almost always tell me there are no available quests. However, sometimes, it will prompt me to visit Merle Ambrose in the Commons. The quest marker doesn’t point to him, though. The quest finder will actually point me off world all the way to Celestia to a character named Thule Landshaper in District of the Stars. I can’t interact with him, and I have no idea why this happens sometimes. I can send you screenshots if you want
Hey! Awesome! Yes, I’d love to see a recording or screenshot if you have time. You can send it to me on Discord or Twitter (my links are in video description). Thanks! 😁
I'm not sure if this has been covered or mentioned yet but if there's one Boss I like the most it would have to be Lady Black Hope because this was a character I grew up with along with Gloria from Old Town. Back when I first started playing in 2009 she was lost soul but green. By 2010 she would be given her own unique look. She would have a very creepy voice similar to Foulgaze but I think a few years later they would update it. I recently went back to playing the game and I'm surprised they made her Optional now. This might give balance an unfair advantage but if a wizard from that school was to beat her they would be given a permeant spell card version of herself. She's available as a treasure card in the bazar as well as some of the bosses from Krock.
the katzenstein's monster change seems like it might be because the text very slightly overhangs the card so they probably wanted to shorten it to avoid that
The successful fire spell casts a fire up in the air but so high up its nearly out of screen so thata probably why many people dont notice it but if you see it the spell casts successfully and doesn’t fizzle
I always enjoy watching these videos! I'm a W101 player from Germany who switched to the US server a while ago. Did you know that Katzenstein's Monster is still called Katzensteins Monster in the german version of the game?
Similar to the dragonspyre gear mentioned in this video, there is another very recent bug that has to do with the level 50 crafted pins from dragonspyre. when first added, they were bugged to where you could equip same school accuracy pins. They later fixed this, but my storm still has a gear set with storm accuracy pins on it.
Oh awesome! Thanks for telling me. I actually didn’t know about this. Is there any chance you can send me a full-screen screenshot of your storm wizard with storm accuracy pins on it? You can message me on Twitter or Discord! (Both links are in video description) 🙂
I’m not sure if all the schools do it. But when you fizzle a death spell there is a visible black blob in the middle of the casting symbol that indicates a fizzle.
On the topic of retired pets, there's one I've always wanted to find evidence of but never managed to. Back in the early days of the pet update, KI dropped a whole bunch of new dropped pets and a video was made showing them all off and telling you where to find them all. Among them was a War Oni pet that gave the War Oni spell card. According to the video, Youkai was the one who dropped this pet, but I never found any evidence of the pet online, and the video itself seems to be deleted as well. If you could look into this I'd love to know that I wasn't crazy.
thanks for keeping this stuff alive. your dedication to unearthing and tracking down evidence of these needle-in-a-haystack like facts from a game thats practically a relic itself is just so heartwarming, due simply to the way it has brought people together and brought back so many memories, it's nice to have a sense of community in these trying times. sometimes you know people you played a game online with better than your own neighbors 😂

Lmaooo nope, you’re completely sane! In fact most people don’t even notice, so if anything you’re extremely perceptive for picking up on it. Good stuff 😎👍
On the death fizzle you can see a black orb inside of the death school symbol while casting
wow i never noticed that!
i feel like the sigil smokes a little at the start of the cast if its going to fizzle
I always knew this one and am all the more frustrated for it xD
The only sign that i know im going to fizzle (for fire) is that when the flame particles go pale or dying out, but when successfully casted the flame particles give vibrant and bright firey-orangey flaming red.
oh cool!
You can also tell when a spell's going to fizzle because there's a little bit of black particles that come off the symbol part way through the casting
good catch!
Fun fact about the fizzle effects, death is the only school whose fizzle effect has a visual component too, that small dot in the center of the sigil will be completely opaque while when it's not fizzling will fade out
Second regarding the Arcanum, I wanted to point out there's no teachers, they're scholars, folk dedicated to learning more about magic, and creating more not necessarily reaching or specifically saving the world
Great points! Thank you!
Gladrocker, I’ve noticed for a long time when the fire spell will fizzle and it’s not only because of the audio. The flame when casting is coloured slightly more pale when fizzling
Great catch!
you can also tell when a death spell will fizzle, the center color becomes more of a darker circle when it is going to fizzle.
@@Gladrocker Maybe you can make a "pro tips" video that includes things like this? Id watch! ❤
I remember the Tournament ad as well. The animated part is what I remember least quite honestly, seeing something Wiz-related in live action feels so high-budget nowadays haha

Awesome! Yeah it’s one of those things that makes you feel crazy for noticing at first 😂 but the more you listen to it, the better you get at noticing
9:27 I actually remember this commercial. I find it fascinating that people haven't seen it
awesome!
Woah! Totally did not expect to be featured in this video! You rock, Gladrocker! :D
Hey, there you are! 😄 Was wondering if you’d get a chance to watch this haha. Glad you did! You rock as well! 🙌
goated
Yes! I love these videos. Perfect to watch while I'm eating dinner. I get to know more random stuff about Wizard101.
Hahah that’s the best time to watch it! 🍔
Thanks so much for watching everyone! You all rock! 😎🫶
Btw, I have an account that can access the Spiral Geographic Society gauntlet in Marleybone, the retired dungeon that requires 4 wizards to complete and was scrapped due to being too difficult. Do you want a TFC and want to see?
Awesome! I’ll let you know later on if I need to teleport in there for footage. Thanks for letting me know :)

Intellectuals: “Pigswick academy professors”
LMFAO
please don’t stop these wizard101 videos, i really enjoy them. ❤
I’m so glad you’re enjoying them! I appreciate you! 😁
having the wizard101 x pokemon crossover would be pretty sweet considering wizard101 is now officially coming to a nintendo console
This is the kind of content the community needs
🙏🙏
It was likely changed because “Dr Von’s monster” is much easier to spell than “Katzenstein’s monster” when trying to communicate to the group in chat that you’re using the 9 pip death spell
good point lol
I just thought it looked bad on the card itself, too long of a name
yesss!! i knew about the audio difference for the spells!! i thought i was crazy because NOBODY believed me
not sure if there's anymore wizard101 lore/nostalgia/forgotten facts/or any creepy things to dive into, but if there is PLEASE make a video! i know you spend so much time and put so much effort into these videos, and man am i thankful. theres so many things i forgot about and wizard101 is so nostalgic to me! i love ur videos, thanks for everything!

i have been saying for YEARS that i can tell when my fire wizard was going to fizzle and my kid was convinced i was losing it.
ahahahaha
I have known about that Bastion glitch for years. I just thought nobody would care about it. Thanks for covering it.
That’s awesome you were one of the only people who knew about it. Thanks for watching!
congrats on 10k, also with the fizzling you can tell by visual. For example fire has a yellower tint when its gonna fizzle.
Very good catch. Wish i mentioned that in the video. And Thank you!
Just as I thought I knew everything, you've proven me wrong again! Only thing on this list I knew about, but had forgotten, was the Tournament animation!
Hahaha well i’m glad to hear that! I often wonder if the information i cover is *actually* obscure. Seems like it really is 🙂 Thanks for watching!
I remember seeing the tournament commercial on TV and I was in awe. Whenever I think of w101 promos I think of the tournament commercial. 100% my fav.
The animation was so beautiful!
If you are planning on more videos, there are some glitches that were possible back in the day and were then patched out, like the housing gauntlet glitch that allowed you to farm any gauntlet in public houses and the porting glitch that allowed you to go through doors (like the closed gates in the labyrinth dungeon)
ooh great ideas! i’ll have to check those out
9:04 I COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS COMMERCIAL EXISTED OMG You just unlocked some deep rooted memories lmaoo
lmaoo yw 😂
I KNEW THE AUDIO WAS DIFFERENT. I hear it in storm the most, probably because my first wizard on my old account was a storm
you’re not crazy!! 😂
how this guy manages finds such obscure gameplay of an obscure glitch of an even more obscure game is PHD worthy
Ahahaha thank you 🙏
this the only wiztuber who actually talks about brand new info/content
Thanks hahaha means a lot! 😎🙏
I actually saw the Tournaments commercial a few times on TV back in the day. Underreated fr
That’s awesome you saw it live when it aired on TV. i’m jealous 😂
This video was phenomenal. I love your editing and production style.
Appreciate you MegaMikey 🙏
I thought I was going CRAZY with the fizzle thing. I’ve been playing wiz since it first came out and now I’m a pro at figuring out when a spell is abt to fizzle 😂
🤣
I remember seeing that tournament ad on tv all the time actually
Another weird whitelisted word in the game is "kombat" as in Mortal Kombat. And it was in the game long before badges referenced the series.
Oh cool! I gotta look into that 🤔
its part of a mob name, the kombat skorpion. hes with a boss named Hanzo who says “get over here” as well, it IS a MK reference
You know what is a really good missed opportunity that I haven't seen any Wizard101 UA-camrs do as of yet, we see many UA-camrs do it for Star Wars and Harry Potter content. "What if..." videos!!! Exploring different ideas and could make plethora of content covering that premise

ahahaha good times
Oh my goodness I watched the 4th commercial as a kid, I somehow completely forgot it existed until you mentioned it.
you’re not alone! i feel like everyone kinda forgot it existed 😂
I remember that pvp commercial, boy that unlocked a memory. I’m surprised most people don’t talk about it anymore, I definitely used to see it so much when it aired I could quote the live action bits
Also, I’m pretty sure they changed it from Katzenstein’s monster to Dr. von’s because the text was coming off the card! I still call it katzenztein’s, though.

Hearing that you love pokemon, I wouldn't mind a short pokemon video every now and then in between Wizard101 stuff :0
That’s awesome you’re saying that! I actually have tossed around the idea a lot, and I think I eventually will start making some pokemon vids! (But i still have a long list of wiz vids to make, so it wouldn’t be for a while!) 😄
you can tell your death spells will fizzle if the black dot in the center spawns at the beginning rather than during cast
Banger video as always, Glad!! You’re seriously one of my favorite creators on here
Thanks so much Lena!! 😁🙌 Appreciate you!
Death is the easiest school to tell when you're about to fizzle, in my opinion! It has a large black dot that shows you're gonna fizzle.
i never noticed. very cool!
It’s a good week when gladrocker uploads
Ayyee appreciate you 🙏
I actually knew the fizzle sound affect! And as a death main after a while I knew right away when I would fizzle or not!
oh cool! you really mastered the art of listening for those slight audio differences! i’m not great at it 😅😅
I really love the way you present your videos. There were so many things here I didn't know like the gnome's ears being upside down or the cartoon network Pokémon thing! Good job Gladrocker! 🥺💙
Thank you so much again for your kind words. It really means a lot. I am so happy you are continuing to enjoy my content! Can’t wait for you to watch my future vids! 😄
The death fizzle us the easiest to distinguish cause it will be a black dot in the center of the spell which indicates that its going to fizzle
ooh good to know!
Thanks for getting me back into wiz gladrocker
don’t mention it 😉 hope you have fun!
I remember the tournament commercial! I used to watch TV all the time as a child, and I remember always seeing that commercial on TV at my grandparents house!
what an awesome memory! wish i got to see it back in the day hahah
with the fizzling spell audio. Storm and Myth are quite easy to tell. also I've seen the tournaments commercial back then, but I wasnt into tournaments in 2013. back then I took part in the Lost Pages event when that debuted in 2013 and was trying to get to Azteca but was getting stuck at Avalon
oh cool, i remember when the lost pages event debuted. good times!
Death is the easiest it has a black hole in the middle
@@ethanjackson1824 I ran a death main and I did not know that
there used to be a visual glitch for fizzling when using a fire spell from your pet, (firezilla for example) the fire school sign would be sooooo bright everytime you fizzled
Really? 😂 wish i could see footage of that
I remember that commercial miss the og days just started a new play through with my old questing buddy
awesome! good luck!
Lol love the once upon a time reference in the reference to a reference joke XD
😂
Glad still killing it as always. I love obscure facts and mysteries and wizard101 so your vids are perfect for me lol.

I absolutely love your vids. They are thoughtful, well researched and put together professionally. Thx for what you do.
You’re very welcome! Appreciate you! 😄
I actually found this Cyrus in Darkside bug on my Myth, of all things, and didn't think much of it because Myth's my school at the time.
ahaha what a coincidence

Thank you! and that’s a great idea! gosh there’s so many pop culture references, i wouldn’t know where to begin 😂

the cyrus in nightside is an older version of cyrus from before he taught those spells, the ones you highlighted were all added later on when they got spellement paths to allow other schools to use the spells
great catch!
Bro your videos are amazing I love learning all this old stuff about wizard101 please keep it up there’s no other content like it

You can tell when a spell will fizzle when a Deckathalon event is going on if you use a treasure card. If the card fizzles you won’t get the point, if you don’t fizzle you’ll get the point right away. Also, if use an enchantment treasure card you’ll get the point when the spell you enchanted is played successfully instead of when you use the enchantment spell.
ooo love this information! thank you!
hey man, on the 5th segment of your 21:11 video I do in fact remember this wizard101 commercial, just letting you know
Awesome!! 😄
Hey Glad, I have a weird thing that happens to me on Wiz (with proof)
So I’ve completed every quest in the game (main, side, gardening, crafting, fishing, and daily assignments). When I go to use Quest Finder in any world, it will almost always tell me there are no available quests. However, sometimes, it will prompt me to visit Merle Ambrose in the Commons. The quest marker doesn’t point to him, though. The quest finder will actually point me off world all the way to Celestia to a character named Thule Landshaper in District of the Stars. I can’t interact with him, and I have no idea why this happens sometimes. I can send you screenshots if you want
Hey! Awesome! Yes, I’d love to see a recording or screenshot if you have time. You can send it to me on Discord or Twitter (my links are in video description). Thanks! 😁
I'm not sure if this has been covered or mentioned yet but if there's one Boss I like the most it would have to be Lady Black Hope because this was a character I grew up with along with Gloria from Old Town.
Back when I first started playing in 2009 she was lost soul but green. By 2010 she would be given her own unique look. She would have a very creepy voice similar to Foulgaze but I think a few years later they would update it.
I recently went back to playing the game and I'm surprised they made her Optional now.
This might give balance an unfair advantage but if a wizard from that school was to beat her they would be given a permeant spell card version of herself. She's available as a treasure card in the bazar as well as some of the bosses from Krock.
Very cool information. Thank you! 🙂
RIP old PVP from early 2010s… also yes I remember the tournament ad!
rip old pvp! 😢
the katzenstein's monster change seems like it might be because the text very slightly overhangs the card so they probably wanted to shorten it to avoid that
Great point! that would make a lot of sense..
Obscureeee! You delivered as always👏🏾👏🏾
Ayeeee thank you! Appreciate it 🙏
I've always been able to tell when I'm gonna fizzle honestly.
you got those superpowers
The successful fire spell casts a fire up in the air but so high up its nearly out of screen so thata probably why many people dont notice it but if you see it the spell casts successfully and doesn’t fizzle
interesting!
I always enjoy watching these videos! I'm a W101 player from Germany who switched to the US server a while ago. Did you know that Katzenstein's Monster is still called Katzensteins Monster in the german version of the game?
really?? that’s awesome! 😂
I actually remember watching this commercial when I was young
wish i saw it back then!
Honestly the Gnomes spell reminds me of The Sims franchise by Maxis with the magic garden Gnomes.
Yeah you can also definitely see when your making the spell itself that it's going to fizzle
true!
my soul sung when i saw this new on my feed. thank you
you’re very welcome! 😁
Similar to the dragonspyre gear mentioned in this video, there is another very recent bug that has to do with the level 50 crafted pins from dragonspyre.
when first added, they were bugged to where you could equip same school accuracy pins. They later fixed this, but my storm still has a gear set with storm accuracy pins on it.
Oh awesome! Thanks for telling me. I actually didn’t know about this. Is there any chance you can send me a full-screen screenshot of your storm wizard with storm accuracy pins on it? You can message me on Twitter or Discord! (Both links are in video description) 🙂
@Gladrocker I just joined discord and verified. Will do.
@LaurenzLikeThat Perfect! Please send me a private message! (You’ll see my profile at the top of the members list). Appreciate this!
Youre doing amazing work man, late watch for me this time but awesome videos as always
thanks so much! 🙌
Play at 1,25x speed. You are welcome.
😂
Burger King foot lettuce ah voice
Man speaks so slowly I need it
I seen that force commercial back in the day in 2009Wizard101
awesome! 😄
The spells cyrus offers in the death school are all the original spells from before they added extra ones into the schools
good point!
I’m not sure if all the schools do it. But when you fizzle a death spell there is a visible black blob in the middle of the casting symbol that indicates a fizzle.
oh cool!
On the topic of retired pets, there's one I've always wanted to find evidence of but never managed to. Back in the early days of the pet update, KI dropped a whole bunch of new dropped pets and a video was made showing them all off and telling you where to find them all. Among them was a War Oni pet that gave the War Oni spell card. According to the video, Youkai was the one who dropped this pet, but I never found any evidence of the pet online, and the video itself seems to be deleted as well. If you could look into this I'd love to know that I wasn't crazy.
Mission accepted! 😎 What an awesome topic. Hope I’m able to dig up some info on it!
