@@kevinperep you trying a secondary school till you get what you want and then you stop. Like death for faint..life alittle for a heal..or frost for tower shield. Later on in the game you get 100% power pip chance and those do not work for secondary classes.
My advice to starting wizards is learn feint, I have seen people struggling to solo a boss becuz they didnt learn feint. Also it is important to do dungeons like mount Olympus, Waterworks and Tartarus
when i was in 4th grade i was super hardcore about maintaining my prickly bear cactus plot so i always woke up 2 hours before school to harvest and replant
You got me coming back to wiz101 ... and since i was young i didnt understand the combat and lots of other things when i was young ... but this is really helpful keep it up :))
I got pulled in a fight in khrysalis with this ice wizard that was randomly using *spears* including the balance sets while facing myth mobs that obv have no resist and didn't shield for him he was so clueless and to top it all off he bought a 90 lvl life henchmen for that fight that I finished off in five rounds lmao some people really out there playing clueless for ages
I recently found out you don't need to do side quest.But for some reason i can't help it and i still do em.Just the thought of not finishing something bugs the crap out of me.(lvl 81 now)
I feel although side quests aren’t “necessary” if you do them as you go it does give a lil boost in exp, gold, etc overall so it doesn’t hurt to do them. Also a lot of the time they are similar to the main quests so you can knock out a side quest and a main quest at the same time.
The ones that give training points are the ones I especially try to go for. Helps me get to spells like Satyr faster. Currently saving up for feint as it's been long overdue (I'm level 54)
Oh, how I missed this game. Played from 2010-2014. I was a max level fire and leader of the largest and most popular clan in the game at the time. I got too mad one day after a PVP battle. I had the win, but fizzled my Efreet(at 94% accuracy btw) and ended up getting a Frankenstein to the face the next round and lost. Punched my computer and havent gotten another until just this month, 6 years later. I’m a veteran, but feel so new after all these years.
Same my story though is my computer became outdated and I was never able to play the game for many years I don't think I even remember my account anymore I want to play again but I think I will start fresh 😅
I remember figuring out you can buy permanent mounts with gold when I was relatively new to the game, maybe 7 years ago? I grinded for all 7 of my characters. Now all of my characters have dropped or crafted mounts, but I regret nothing
For the training points thing, I’m an ice wizard & I minor in the life school. Sure it might be pretty controversial as they are probably the two most bashed schools 🙃 however I am quite the tank & rarely die in quests. With the great health along with heals I find i can be pretty versatile if needed. Sure fights might take a little longer but I’m patient. So far I’ve used my points up to satyr as well as infection & other triple trap cards.
Im and ice WAZ myself I trained up to satyr in life and ive got a few death spells like deer knight and feint.....im trying to go for mastery amulets and i have a death one i got as a drop and omfg. Been playing this game for years and ive only actually used one wizard. Haven't tried any others yet
EXTREMELY accurate about the myth minions being straight up shit. I used them for a bit in late wizard city and about half of krokotopia. After that they just started irritating the hell of out me. "Oh you set it all up for a nice humongofrog next turn? I know how to help.......blood bat! Oops."
If anyone wants to level like super fast, once you hit level 20, beat Grizzelheim and once you get to level 40, go to Wintertusk. It gives great experience
I started replaying after a couple years and I guess I’ve been playing with a little kid mind. I always did all the side quest, used all the training points. NEVER MADE FRIENDS. time to make some changes I guess. This video really helped me out I never thought of gardening or using the pet kiosk
14:44 "please do not train in a second school" well... here goes all my fire spell lol. But tbh, I think it can be useful. I'm a life wizard and I really suck at fighting (the fact that I have bad gear also add to that but it's another story lol) so for me training in fire school really helped, since I was able to get stronger attacks for less powerpips and also an AOE attack really early (the one for life only appears at lvl 58) so yeah for me it was useful but I guess it just depends on the person
I'm sorry, the best gear that is available for your school always buffs your specific school's spells, so trust me, you'll only want to use spells from your school, in the long run, the life spells you learn will be so much stronger than any fire spells as a result of solely your gear. So heed my warning :D
There are some craftable gears that give stats to more than 2 schools. Ex: life stats and fire stats. If you dont care about min maxing your wizard. And also maybe get an amulet so you dont waste pips.
I thought the same thing about the side quests. I only did main quests on my third wiz. Turns out if you only do main quests, by the end of dragonspyre, you’re only lvl 45. And you can’t get to celestia till lvl 48 🙃 so have to do some of them, but yeah I wouldn’t do too many of them
Great video and very helpful. I'm a bit of an introvert myself and didn't realize that accepting friend requests is a good idea. I wondered why I got random requests but will start accepting them now. I played this game with my husband when it originally when it originally came out. Just recently came back and started a new account thru Steam. Very fun game and I'll definitely be staying awhile.
Even with my characters max I still really like to train a secondary school. It's not ideal, absolutely not, the game is built to make it so difficult lmao. Kingsisle discourages all players from trying to break the meta and try different stuff. But I like to RP my characters, so I go into other schools based on their backstories. My death is a necromancer because he was resurrected by Raven to be her champion, but he was originally a conjuror from Marleybone, so he has myth spells but primarily uses death. I like Earthquake because it's a good shield breaker, looks appropriate thematically (i.e. Underworld, Hades, earth opening up, etc.), and goes along with my concept. Orthrus is fun too for the theme (Cerberus's brother) and it's honestly a little more useful than Scarecrow since Chrulu is superior to that. This offers a fun single hit for shield breaking. A mastery amulet and some universal damage gear helps, but I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea. I just like to branch out since starting to play D&D and realizing how fun it is to build around your character.
I’ve got every single quest done from wiz city to Avalon. And I regret it so much Bc I’ve been playing the same storm wizard since I was 7 and Ten years later and I’m only lvl 95
my deck setup for the entire first arc on my myth wizard was 2 frog, 2 mythblade, one feint, and one spirit blade. this plus a shit ton of monstrous tc got me through ds is like 2 seconds
Most important one: When you buy membership, there's this little box u can tick that will automatically renew ur memebrship and take the money from ur credit card. I don't even remember clicking it back in 2014, but I had quit the game for like 3 months, only to log back in and realise that I'm able to go into Krokotopia. My heart sunk, cuz I just spent 30$ as a jobless hs student. Make sure u don't have it ticked! Edit: I recently purchased membership and it turns out you have to cancel the membership urself before it renews automatically.
As a kid I struggled the most with spending my training points wisely, making my deck incredibly large to where It's ridiculous and hard to get what I need and not spending any crowns I got wisely I got a lot of the card packs too lol I can't remember when I first started playing exactly but I'm a long time player been playing almost since the release of this game and I've come a long way with learning I agree 100% with everything you said all modern players need to be acknowledged of these things The one thing you didn't mention that I wish I would of would've known is the game is only free for a few places and then you need a membership or crowns as a kid I had to beg my parents for a membership pretty much lol
Me and my girlfriend do secondary schools, whoops! 😂 we just do it for fun we’re not PVP people and some schools I think do pretty ok together. In the game now there’s some dialogue from Lincoln that says like “hey you should join a second school” and I was like “yeah let’s do that”
People have already touched on it but at level 30, 60, 100, and 130 there are really good ftp gear sets so unless you are looking for a specific piece of gear, no need to waste crowns on pack gear. Also wait to hit a higher level to buy energy gear. If you need low level energy gear, a few tourneys in pvp will give you the seafarer's set which is decent for starting out.
I have a few different decks. Some of them are full just because I honestly enjoy seeing a full deck, and just so I don't have to constantly switch cards around for bosses and such. Basically the big three decks I have are an offense deck (slim: A couple blades, a couple traps, a couple enchants, a couple AoEs and a couple single-targets for cleanup and a couple TC just in case), a support deck; maxed out for flexibility with Treasure Cards to ensure I can get a specific spell if I absolutely need to then a general deck for soloing; maxed out, again for flexibility but primarily for myself. Ended up making a Waterworks deck, as well, for obvious reasons... even though I ended up only needing about a half dozen fights to get my Death gear.
I started 10 years ago and every single point hit it on the head, but there is one thing you totally overlooked. I wish I had known about streamers. Those who discuss best boss strategies, open packs for you, struggle through pvp and tell you where to farm for the best gear.
One of my biggest mistakes was completely negating AOEs in questing because I was a myth wizard and thought that froggy and earthquake were too weak to be useful and proceeded to use minotaurs, orthrus and medusa to kill mobs lol Also the basic training point issues, bad gear and not knowing about farming (which also led me to having to continuously try for like 2-3 weeks to get Medusa because that was before the boss was nerfed and I was pretty terrible myself), terrible pets, etc
Thank you for taking the time to make such a fabulous video.. It helped me tons.. I've been playing Wiz off and on for about 7yrs now... To be totally honest I still don't understand the pet thing.. I did manage to get my Life up to level 130 solo.. I've just now started a new Storm, and I'm playing them together which makes it a lot easier. - Like you, I made a lot of those first grade mistakes, but your video did show me a few things I didn't know about.. So Thanks again.. I've subscribed as well as clicked the bell to see more of your video's as they come out... Have a FAB Day, and don't let Social Distancing get the best of you. We are all here for you :)
Hello there Phantom. I know it's off-topic, but me and a few other people have decided to take action to revive Pirate101. I figured you'd be interested, would you be willing to help?
i used to train secondary schools but ive never gotten past feint (im trying to actually get through it for the first time now) and i always chose death secondary... so im glad to hear my old wizards are still salvageable lol
Make a video about where/when to spend your training points! I would love a detailed explanation about it, as I just got back into the game after 4 years and want to get good at it this time.
New video idea (feel free to take it) "10 things I wish I knew before I started Pirate101" #1. They'd stop updating the game after a couple of years!!!
I think it would have been good to mention that it is much better/cheaper for someone to start the game now using a membership than what I did as a kid which was buy crowns for the purpose of accessing areas. In the long run it's technically better but if I were to start a new account I would definitely get membership instead of buying all the areas.
Gonna have to disagree on the deck filling part. Having options is important, and getting a "bad draw" is made kinda irrelevant when you can scrap cards to draw more anyways. And with how many of the better spells cost several pips, a "wasted" turn is still progress towards something useful.
Hope you're doing well on your break. Thanks for the videos! I restarted playing this game a few days ago. So the pets you get early in the story now are better to keep training? Cool tip on the gold for crowns items. I looked around... Currently there are 5 mounts available for gold, ranging from 50K to 90K. Houses: 14 out of 16 can be bought with gold, 50K to 125K. Two clothing bundles. Eight playable instruments under housing. Gonna check those out.
new player, started off as death cause if the book quiz thing. been having a blast playing. seems the only mistake ive made is myth secondary. but i can fix that if it suuuuper matters. im mostly still trying out f2p/lvl10 content to get a feel for what i like most. very helpful thanks 💖✨
One missing is multiple decks. LIke how only using the cards you need. It saves so much time having a boss, mob, and cheat deck. When I pvp I remember those. remember the quality of life add to allow us to name decks so we didn't have to worry about having decks with the same item name.
My best wiz101 tip is: GARDENING . its basically everything you need. it helps u level pets for free . you get so much mega snack from gardening. you will never need to spend crowns or gold or anything. i been playing wizard since 2009. when mooshu was end game
As an old soul, here are the things I have to tell people: 1. Do not train a second school 2. Get feint 3. Go to Mount Olympus at level 30 and farm for the gear 4. HP is not the best stat to go for (especially as a storm) 5. Use the internet to look things up. 6. Talk to your professor when you see their head in the bottom right. That's a spell quest. In fact, talk to them right after this dungeon because you seem to have missed several spell quests.
1. game is not free 2. enemies can pull you in from 10 miles away 3. they will keep spamming weakness 4. they will use shields a lot - 80% shields 5. most of the time you will play against your own element so it's hard 6. expensive (crown shop) If you can overlook these qualities, then it's a good game. I still play it while enjoying it most of the time :)
I never had to worry about overpacking, i play some yugioh and used the mentality “deck thinning is deck winning,” tbh i only run about 7-12 spells and it works super effectively
Something I noticed is , my friend got to krokotopia and was lol 10/11 around there. He basically ignored side quests (bcz he didn't know about them) while I was doing every side quest and when I got there I was around the same level . So really seems like side quests aren't worth it
The only advice I can give is to pick a name that youll see yourself liking after coming back many years later because I’ve deleted so many characters because I didnt like their names after coming back😭😭😭
honestly, i mostly solo so i keep a packed deck because i usually get more varied pve. this is obviously up to personal taste, but i find it a lot more fun! i have different decks for farming and team based dungeons, but if i'm alone i have a full deck
When you first meet Farley, he says that when he's done teaching you, he has a favor to ask. He never asks you for the favor. And I am only up to Azteca, does Bartleby ever get his eye of history back?
Now to find out what my main quest is lol... I have 4 with stars around them telling me they're the main quest. Just picking the game back up after 12 years, so this was very helpful! I for a fact had to reset my training points cause I was a dumb kid lol
Dude I had some of the same problems I did a side quest in mooshu I didn’t realize that it wasn’t my main quest it was 9 years ago I made the same mistakes you did
JUST SOME HELPFUL FEEDBACK: first off there was no game sound and you didnt mention how gardening takes time and patience and forgot to mention if you had a video explaining gardening, also you forgot to mention that training points cant be bought back for free during certain times, and didnt mention that you need to train the spells in krok at niles, also friends will not help you on a consistent basis because people have real lives too, but just overall if you tell people not to do something then tell them what they should do instead or give some suggestions of things they should do
I got this game around when it came out. Realised it was membership. Grinded till level 24 in Triton Avenue. Took like a 5-10 year break (idk how long). Got back in, got membership. Stopped after member. Wated months/a year. Got member, rinse and repeat A lot of the *new features* like gardening and etc im still lost about haha. And idk ANYTHING for an old player
Also, it would be cool to see a wizard101 timeline/history video. I know there was one video out there but its like 4 years old. I would really like to see your take on it. I could never figure out quite how old Morganthe is. Every source has a different answer. That would be cool to see, i'd watch it in a heartbeat coming from you.
Tristan Hrencecin now that would be a HUGE project, and also a very fun one. I won’t promise anything as a lot would go into that, but that’s definitely a possibility :)))
Early wizard101 days: What secondary school are you guys? Now: You have spent your talent points wrong; You need feint, tower shield and heals! Oh and get star school.
Iam 22lvl rn, I have a long way till 130 xd. I started playing this game again after 7 years and I did almost all of those mistakes as a kid. Thank god I watch more UA-cam now and learn about the games I play
I used to exclusively use crown shop gear for questing and I was wondering why I was so shitty at the game,, till someone told me I shouldn't use gear I get from packs and use gear I get from questing. It changed my life
i would even say don’t even train up to satyr, and if you really need it just use treasure cards. i personally think satyr was a waste of my training points.
When you first meet Farley, he says that when he's done bending your ear, he has a favor to ask. He never asks you for the favor. And I am only up to Azteca, does Bartleby ever get his eye of history back?
What I wish I knew: that membership is a better investment because I bought 20000 crowns worth of areas ( nightside cyclops firecat crab alley colossus and like 2 parts of Krok
Good list. I made error number 4 by doing so many side quests that I still hadn't reached Medulla when I hit 130, plus error number 3 by training Myth on my Ice (what a terrible, TERRIBLE mix lol)
This was a great video. I was wondering if anyone else knew all of these. Many people out there used to say they trained into a secondary school. I once saw a life wizard when Azteca first came out using wraith on an Aztecasaur. I was laughing so hard and he was using scarecrow tc waiting 7 pips, he was a fool. LOL!
if i am being honest yes i did so many mistakes when i first started but those were memories i would rather make those mistakes and have fun than knowing everything and make the game easy
Oh my god this video hit so close to home, I started in 2009 and 11 years later I kept saying everything you said 😂 my dumb little kid self made everything single one of those mistakes
Number 9 is definitely me. Filled up my deck with the mentality of "Ohh yes yes more spells more chance to win hehehehe" until I needed an offensive spell for a final blow but it just spammed me with fuckin shields and after two turns BOOM! I die. Never raged so much in this game after that match RIP.
Things I knew before starting Wizard101 1: dont play on wiz101 EU 2: dont spend a lot of money 3: dont doing 20k undead badge 4 starting on wiz101 US because addicted from Wiz101 EU experience 5: spend a lot of money again 6 thinking im in a endless timeline in the wizard101 spiral universe where i cant get out.
It's abundantly clear you had issues as a child
Caught me off guard too lmao
is this my brother LMAO
wow
YOURE GODDAMN RIGHT. Wiz was a great escape
@@Bred_Lord it was indeed.
Oh training points was one thing we did wrong before
So many useless spells....
I bought like all the polymorphs on my main and came back 3 years later like wtf this dude is trash
Same like I litterally trained some of the balance attack spells 💀
my fire back in 2010 trained all the storm spells -_-
@@nept6nes did that on my fire
1 huge thing I wish I know before playing wizard101 is ......
Knowing that this game is not free to play
it's free for like the first five or ten levels, but yeah you definitely need to pay if you want to continue playing
$10 for a month of membership was enough to get me to level 100...
All my quest are in areas that I can't reach until I buy the game or buy crowns.😟
And I've done every other quest. I have been fighting the kraken for like 3 days
You can do quizzes every day to get a max of 100 crowns a day so that is pretty good
10. Check if a crown sold item can be gold sold item
9. Put only spells that you will need in your deck
8. Start early gardening
7. Spend training points for useful spells
6. Discard spells while in combat by left clicking
5. Make friends in the game
4. Side quests are not necessary, you need only main quests to level up
3. Do not train a secondary school
2. Do not train first gen(first gen pet is your first pet most of the times...) pets past adult
1. Buy packs reasonably
thanks who the fuck needs a 20 min video to say that.
why not train a secondary school? what am i supposed to do with my training points then
@@kevinperep you trying a secondary school till you get what you want and then you stop. Like death for faint..life alittle for a heal..or frost for tower shield. Later on in the game you get 100% power pip chance and those do not work for secondary classes.
discard by right clicking*

BAHAHAH i remember that, when was that like 2011?
I never got there in my wizards and my sister never let me on hers to see it
My advice to starting wizards is learn feint, I have seen people struggling to solo a boss becuz they didnt learn feint. Also it is important to do dungeons like mount Olympus, Waterworks and Tartarus
guys listen to this guy
Tartarus is pointless just wait for darkmoor but yes do the other ones
I did Tower Shield, then Satyr, then all the Celestia damage enchants, and then Feint (Level 66 rn)
Tart is irrelevant at this point, I always wait for dankmore
(Why)
The dreaded "Picking a secondary class because the game told me to"
Thank GOD for the free point buy back lmao
Fr watching these vids I see how much I messed up I’m buying my points back rn
Bro when you said you wondered around wizard city for 2 years I couldn’t breath 😂😂 I remember when I was 10 too and couldn’t get a membership lol
when i was in 4th grade i was super hardcore about maintaining my prickly bear cactus plot so i always woke up 2 hours before school to harvest and replant
I remember waking up every day and gardening my 2 pink dandelions. Need I mention that I was young.
You got me coming back to wiz101 ... and since i was young i didnt understand the combat and lots of other things when i was young ... but this is really helpful keep it up :))

I got pulled in a fight in khrysalis with this ice wizard that was randomly using *spears* including the balance sets while facing myth mobs that obv have no resist and didn't shield for him
he was so clueless and to top it all off he bought a 90 lvl life henchmen for that fight that I finished off in five rounds lmao some people really out there playing clueless for ages

Orthrus is fun too for the theme (Cerberus's brother) and it's honestly a little more useful than Scarecrow since Chrulu is superior to that. This offers a fun single hit for shield breaking. A mastery amulet and some universal damage gear helps, but I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea. I just like to branch out since starting to play D&D and realizing how fun it is to build around your character.
I respect that, but still what
Me: I should play this game again and check out how it's updated!
Also me: Forgets my username and password and doesn't want to restart.
I’ve got every single quest done from wiz city to Avalon. And I regret it so much Bc I’ve been playing the same storm wizard since I was 7 and Ten years later and I’m only lvl 95
my deck setup for the entire first arc on my myth wizard was 2 frog, 2 mythblade, one feint, and one spirit blade. this plus a shit ton of monstrous tc got me through ds is like 2 seconds
Most important one:
When you buy membership, there's this little box u can tick that will automatically renew ur memebrship and take the money from ur credit card.
I don't even remember clicking it back in 2014, but I had quit the game for like 3 months, only to log back in and realise that I'm able to go into Krokotopia. My heart sunk, cuz I just spent 30$ as a jobless hs student.
Make sure u don't have it ticked!
Edit: I recently purchased membership and it turns out you have to cancel the membership urself before it renews automatically.
THIS!!
My parents got stolen 300 dollars and I still don’t know if the membership is still on no wonder I hate the wizard 101 creators
As a kid I struggled the most with spending my training points wisely, making my deck incredibly large to where It's ridiculous and hard to get what I need and not spending any crowns I got wisely I got a lot of the card packs too lol I can't remember when I first started playing exactly but I'm a long time player been playing almost since the release of this game and I've come a long way with learning I agree 100% with everything you said all modern players need to be acknowledged of these things The one thing you didn't mention that I wish I would of would've known is the game is only free for a few places and then you need a membership or crowns as a kid I had to beg my parents for a membership pretty much lol
Me and my girlfriend do secondary schools, whoops! 😂 we just do it for fun we’re not PVP people and some schools I think do pretty ok together. In the game now there’s some dialogue from Lincoln that says like “hey you should join a second school” and I was like “yeah let’s do that”
OML I wish I new about the “mark location” feature, saves me SO much walking
Loved this video and made me laugh, keep doing you bro
People have already touched on it but at level 30, 60, 100, and 130 there are really good ftp gear sets so unless you are looking for a specific piece of gear, no need to waste crowns on pack gear. Also wait to hit a higher level to buy energy gear. If you need low level energy gear, a few tourneys in pvp will give you the seafarer's set which is decent for starting out.
I have a few different decks. Some of them are full just because I honestly enjoy seeing a full deck, and just so I don't have to constantly switch cards around for bosses and such. Basically the big three decks I have are an offense deck (slim: A couple blades, a couple traps, a couple enchants, a couple AoEs and a couple single-targets for cleanup and a couple TC just in case), a support deck; maxed out for flexibility with Treasure Cards to ensure I can get a specific spell if I absolutely need to then a general deck for soloing; maxed out, again for flexibility but primarily for myself. Ended up making a Waterworks deck, as well, for obvious reasons... even though I ended up only needing about a half dozen fights to get my Death gear.
I didn't know about that side quests thing. Glad I already spent a bunch of time 100% completing Krok and Marley 🙃
Pretty sure I've fully completed Wizard City-Mooshu on my fire
I started 10 years ago and every single point hit it on the head, but there is one thing you totally overlooked. I wish I had known about streamers. Those who discuss best boss strategies, open packs for you, struggle through pvp and tell you where to farm for the best gear.
One of my biggest mistakes was completely negating AOEs in questing because I was a myth wizard and thought that froggy and earthquake were too weak to be useful and proceeded to use minotaurs, orthrus and medusa to kill mobs lol
Also the basic training point issues, bad gear and not knowing about farming (which also led me to having to continuously try for like 2-3 weeks to get Medusa because that was before the boss was nerfed and I was pretty terrible myself), terrible pets, etc
ooooof
Thank you for taking the time to make such a fabulous video.. It helped me tons.. I've been playing Wiz off and on for about 7yrs now... To be totally honest I still don't understand the pet thing.. I did manage to get my Life up to level 130 solo.. I've just now started a new Storm, and I'm playing them together which makes it a lot easier. - Like you, I made a lot of those first grade mistakes, but your video did show me a few things I didn't know about.. So Thanks again.. I've subscribed as well as clicked the bell to see more of your video's as they come out... Have a FAB Day, and don't let Social Distancing get the best of you. We are all here for you :)
Aww thanks dude, glad I could help!
when i played this game i wish i knew that you couldnt get level 58+ pets because I completely ignored grizzleheim/wintertusk thinking it was useless
lmao
Hello there Phantom. I know it's off-topic, but me and a few other people have decided to take action to revive Pirate101. I figured you'd be interested, would you be willing to help?
Do ittttttt. Please
@@loganscott2528 We have a discord server, IDK if it's ok to post the invite link here though. Just add Wiwade#7622 if you're willing to help.
I think I might already be in the discord, is it called Pirate101 Community? Also I'm Phant0m#9166 feel free to message me.
i used to train secondary schools but ive never gotten past feint (im trying to actually get through it for the first time now) and i always chose death secondary... so im glad to hear my old wizards are still salvageable lol
Make a video about where/when to spend your training points! I would love a detailed explanation about it, as I just got back into the game after 4 years and want to get good at it this time.
Perhaps ;)))
New video idea (feel free to take it) "10 things I wish I knew before I started Pirate101" #1. They'd stop updating the game after a couple of years!!!
hehe yea, not even a bad idea though
I think it would have been good to mention that it is much better/cheaper for someone to start the game now using a membership than what I did as a kid which was buy crowns for the purpose of accessing areas. In the long run it's technically better but if I were to start a new account I would definitely get membership instead of buying all the areas.
video quality - high
knowledge - supreme
your mause sound - identical as mine
hotel - trivago
you. deserve. more. subs !
I spent a tons of crowns to buy back my training points when I was 8 or 9
I hope for good reason
Same. What a waste lmao
Gonna have to disagree on the deck filling part.
Having options is important, and getting a "bad draw" is made kinda irrelevant when you can scrap cards to draw more anyways.
And with how many of the better spells cost several pips, a "wasted" turn is still progress towards something useful.
Hope you're doing well on your break. Thanks for the videos! I restarted playing this game a few days ago.
So the pets you get early in the story now are better to keep training?
Cool tip on the gold for crowns items. I looked around...
Currently there are 5 mounts available for gold, ranging from 50K to 90K. Houses: 14 out of 16 can be bought with gold, 50K to 125K.
Two clothing bundles. Eight playable instruments under housing. Gonna check those out.
new player, started off as death cause if the book quiz thing. been having a blast playing. seems the only mistake ive made is myth secondary. but i can fix that if it suuuuper matters. im mostly still trying out f2p/lvl10 content to get a feel for what i like most. very helpful thanks 💖✨
One missing is multiple decks. LIke how only using the cards you need. It saves so much time having a boss, mob, and cheat deck. When I pvp I remember those. remember the quality of life add to allow us to name decks so we didn't have to worry about having decks with the same item name.
Regarding spending points, should mention visiting Niles for blades and traps. And discarding cards, I didn't know that for a long time.
My best wiz101 tip is: GARDENING . its basically everything you need. it helps u level pets for free . you get so much mega snack from gardening. you will never need to spend crowns or gold or anything. i been playing wizard since 2009. when mooshu was end game
As an old soul, here are the things I have to tell people:
1. Do not train a second school
2. Get feint
3. Go to Mount Olympus at level 30 and farm for the gear
4. HP is not the best stat to go for (especially as a storm)
5. Use the internet to look things up.
6. Talk to your professor when you see their head in the bottom right. That's a spell quest. In fact, talk to them right after this dungeon because you seem to have missed several spell quests.
Chase titan saved me from tax fraud he’s a real friend
1. game is not free
2. enemies can pull you in from 10 miles away
3. they will keep spamming weakness
4. they will use shields a lot - 80% shields
5. most of the time you will play against your own element so it's hard
6. expensive (crown shop)
If you can overlook these qualities, then it's a good game. I still play it while enjoying it most of the time :)
I basically did all of these back in the day.
It's all part of the experience
im glad i found ur vid bcs I also saw that storm spells did more than my fire and was about to put all my points into storm spells.
I never had to worry about overpacking, i play some yugioh and used the mentality “deck thinning is deck winning,” tbh i only run about 7-12 spells and it works super effectively
Something I noticed is , my friend got to krokotopia and was lol 10/11 around there. He basically ignored side quests (bcz he didn't know about them) while I was doing every side quest and when I got there I was around the same level . So really seems like side quests aren't worth it
The only advice I can give is to pick a name that youll see yourself liking after coming back many years later because I’ve deleted so many characters because I didnt like their names after coming back😭😭😭
honestly, i mostly solo so i keep a packed deck because i usually get more varied pve. this is obviously up to personal taste, but i find it a lot more fun! i have different decks for farming and team based dungeons, but if i'm alone i have a full deck
You’re videos are amazing you will be big someday keep going
Thanks dude appreciate it :D
Dang i only learned to discard by watching blazes videos dang
When you first meet Farley, he says that when he's done teaching you, he has a favor to ask. He never asks you for the favor. And I am only up to Azteca, does Bartleby ever get his eye of history back?
Wizard101: 10 things i wish I kn- *banned*
In a nutshell.
Omfg i love you for the second tip, im currently in krokotopia with my friends
this is the second time i’ve rewatched your vids
Now to find out what my main quest is lol... I have 4 with stars around them telling me they're the main quest.
Just picking the game back up after 12 years, so this was very helpful! I for a fact had to reset my training points cause I was a dumb kid lol
As a Death wizard +80
Side quests are useful (Tip)
Dude I had some of the same problems I did a side quest in mooshu I didn’t realize that it wasn’t my main quest it was 9 years ago I made the same mistakes you did
ver yea I’d get hung up on side quests all the time
Just got back into this game and realize that the people are a lot nicer than other games
JUST SOME HELPFUL FEEDBACK: first off there was no game sound and you didnt mention how gardening takes time and patience and forgot to mention if you had a video explaining gardening, also you forgot to mention that training points cant be bought back for free during certain times, and didnt mention that you need to train the spells in krok at niles, also friends will not help you on a consistent basis because people have real lives too, but just overall if you tell people not to do something then tell them what they should do instead or give some suggestions of things they should do
I got this game around when it came out. Realised it was membership. Grinded till level 24 in Triton Avenue. Took like a 5-10 year break (idk how long). Got back in, got membership. Stopped after member. Wated months/a year. Got member, rinse and repeat
A lot of the *new features* like gardening and etc im still lost about haha. And idk ANYTHING for an old player
I had a mega piggle and the worst fact was, it had no skills and to this Day I don't understand why.
Also, it would be cool to see a wizard101 timeline/history video. I know there was one video out there but its like 4 years old. I would really like to see your take on it. I could never figure out quite how old Morganthe is. Every source has a different answer. That would be cool to see, i'd watch it in a heartbeat coming from you.
Tristan Hrencecin now that would be a HUGE project, and also a very fun one. I won’t promise anything as a lot would go into that, but that’s definitely a possibility :)))
@@FormalPhantom I'm glad you like that idea. Thanks for considering it. I'm always pumped when I see a new one of your videos come out!
Early wizard101 days: What secondary school are you guys? Now: You have spent your talent points wrong; You need feint, tower shield and heals! Oh and get star school.
Iam 22lvl rn, I have a long way till 130 xd. I started playing this game again after 7 years and I did almost all of those mistakes as a kid. Thank god I watch more UA-cam now and learn about the games I play
I used to exclusively use crown shop gear for questing and I was wondering why I was so shitty at the game,, till someone told me I shouldn't use gear I get from packs and use gear I get from questing. It changed my life
I started gardening as soon as I could back when I was young and couldn't have many crowns.
I became a rank 11 by the time I was level 25.
i would even say don’t even train up to satyr, and if you really need it just use treasure cards. i personally think satyr was a waste of my training points.
When you first meet Farley, he says that when he's done bending your ear, he has a favor to ask. He never asks you for the favor. And I am only up to Azteca, does Bartleby ever get his eye of history back?
What I wish I knew: that membership is a better investment because I bought 20000 crowns worth of areas ( nightside cyclops firecat crab alley colossus and like 2 parts of Krok
For some reason my dad disabled text chat when I was younger and now I can't turn it on. 😖
UPDATE: Never mind! Problem solved! 😁
such a great guide. i made a life wizard and wondered if you knew any guides for that school?
Used to play back in 2009 and just got back into it because of my girlfriend level 37 now so still got time to learn
Good list. I made error number 4 by doing so many side quests that I still hadn't reached Medulla when I hit 130, plus error number 3 by training Myth on my Ice (what a terrible, TERRIBLE mix lol)
This was a great video. I was wondering if anyone else knew all of these. Many people out there used to say they trained into a secondary school. I once saw a life wizard when Azteca first came out using wraith on an Aztecasaur. I was laughing so hard and he was using scarecrow tc waiting 7 pips, he was a fool. LOL!
Tristan Hrencecin omg I would see those things so much, I still do once in awhile haha. And thanks!
@@FormalPhantom Yw, glad you can relate!
if i am being honest yes i did so many mistakes when i first started but those were memories i would rather make those mistakes and have fun than knowing everything and make the game easy
i get ya
Me: Trained until this moment on every account to a secondary school.
...
Me: Trains a first Gen pet to Mega.
Oh my god this video hit so close to home, I started in 2009 and 11 years later I kept saying everything you said 😂 my dumb little kid self made everything single one of those mistakes
I wished i actually read how pvp worked. I finally did a match at lvl 52 and lost because i didnt know we literally went turn for turn.
Number 9 is definitely me.
Filled up my deck with the mentality of "Ohh yes yes more spells more chance to win hehehehe"
until I needed an offensive spell for a final blow but it just spammed me with fuckin shields and after two turns BOOM! I die.
Never raged so much in this game after that match RIP.
My biggest crafting mistake is not knowing you could purchase reagents in the crown shop...
Things I knew before starting Wizard101
1: dont play on wiz101 EU
2: dont spend a lot of money
3: dont doing 20k undead badge
4 starting on wiz101 US because addicted from Wiz101 EU experience
5: spend a lot of money again
6 thinking im in a endless timeline in the wizard101 spiral universe where i cant get out.
