Wizard101: Solo Death Gear and Deck Setup (Lvl 60-99)

Hey everyone! I thought I would make an update video regarding my Budget Account wizard, Michael Silverflame.
With the scarecrow buffs and health nerfs, it is extremely easy to solo all of Zafaria through Khrysalis until Darkmoor with the gear offered at level 60.
In this video, I will show you what I use on an account where I still have not spent money on anything besides memberships.

thanks for the guide dude :D

[@chasehightower5790]

Thank you bro I need this guide after doing waterworks. All the stuff on your channel is great man keep up the good work.

[@jase7722]

Hey man new sub 👍🏼these are very helpful! Keep it up!

[@bryanbarfield8552]

That crafting gear from wintertusk/sudrilund is pretty interchangeable with waterworks gear. The crafted gear gives extra blade card though.

[@ziwuri]

as a generalized rule for every school, if you end up doing wintertusk and doing the crafting quests (which you should definitely do), I would go for the crafted hat (because it gives a blade) and waterworks robe and boots.

[@ThatOneNiceGuy9001]

Just recently got back into w101 and chose death for my wiz since the game is a little dead and I'd be soloing. KZbin recommendation hooked me up with videos I'll need

[@Daniel-rb7zo]

Awesome! Thanks a bunch.

[@snueseph1785]

The waterworks hat is dropped by the final boss, but it's just really rare, like really rare so its usually better to farm luska.

[@mXLicEE]

It's not

[@blitzgaming3634]

I got it first try lol

[@joshualieberman7558]

another great wand is the souls singers soul sword from malistaire which gives 10% damage 1 pp and 3 pierce along with a storm Shield and death trap card.

[@40441gogo]

my death is level 30 and just got all zeus gear! definitely looking forward to those gear upgrades in the future :)

[@Usikoe23]

Thx bro very helpful

[@DukeDeen.]

For regular questing especially when fighting street mobs or weaker bosses I will always run empower, with these stats an enchanted crow with and even without a crit is usually enough to wipe the board on your second turn.

[@nobody883]

Been needing a video just like this I need something better than the Zeus gear

[@UnrealityZero]

should probably generalize this since every school has nearly identical setups

ty for this my wizard is about to be level 60

[@JumpscareRodent]

In conclusion as soon as you can do waterworks with any class do it until you get all three pieces

[@J_jae]

i never could get the hangmans hood on my death. i always got the other 2 pieces of gear but never the hat:/

[@SuperMeatyCake]

I got the hat from the final boss in waterworks literally like 2 days ago

[@stickpackopeningguy8475]

I am fine with all this gear other than the pet since they are very difficult to make perfect

[@bruhbruh1195]

13:10 ferric actually forgot to mention dark pact sorry for the 2 year late response. So I think it’s worth it but the virulence can be aura popped (in pvp or balance bosses) so yeah, mighty could be the better option on or for that to replace it. 13:40 not 4 but 3 sure okay.

[@dominusdelupis3045]

Should I wait to truly start pet hatching once I get couch and emp mega snacks? Going broke from buying snacks at the bazaar

[@ClearanceGems]

You can get couch potatoes quick in mirage and gh I use to spend arena tickets on snacks but they took out the good snacks so id probably wait till you got couch potatoes or get a bunch of prickly bear cactus because you can get lvl 8 snacks from them and a bunch of other ones

[@nicwalsh9537]

Mirror lake drops critical boots for death if anyone is interested.

[@joshtap7125]

Anyone know if ship of fools is viable this late into the game? Or nah

[@garrettlake8547]

Or instead of using mass death prism for a 2 pop cost, you can just put one 0 pip cost prisms on each one and then hit without blade since you’ll get 30% boost

[@dmvbenz7536]

I got my hangman’s hood from final boss in waterworks

[@shayaana982]

I think you're kind of wrong about the tower of the helephant, if you do the dungeon from beginning to end (which might be difficult) you are GUARENTEED the lexicon blade athame, and the aureate band. The ring is pretty bad, but the lexicon blade is objectively better and is a guarenteed drop from the FIRST boss. Literally a free upgrade if you ask me.

[@ferric]

The athame is not enough of an improvement for it to be worth getting. For death, it gives the same damage, a little bit less health for 2% more power pips. The only other stat that matters its that the lexicon blade gives one less circle jewel slot, and as a result, one less free jewel slot. It gives 15% outgoing healing but that makes absolutely no difference for death. Just like other things I mentioned (amulet, deck, wand) it will make no difference whether you use Bear's Claw of Death or Lexicon Blade. The only thing that matters is the hour or so that you will spend completing Tower of the Helephant. I never knew Lexicon Blade was a guaranteed drop, but it still isn't worth getting if you are able to find Bear's Claw of Death.

[@voidblast598]

What about Potent Trap and Sharpened Blade for the Deck setup?

[@user-bj9pz3kz5r]

For the ring I suggest the sir Malory’s seal from Avalon it’s better

[@yume7992]

Hello I'm curious on how you get your amber !! I'm free to player as well level 89 in azteca but im still trynna get deer... i got 2 but im not even sure how i have it

[@marthag9048]

Hi, you can get amber from the secret bosses in Aquila. I would suggest either farming gladiator dimachaerus in mt Olympus (he also drops the alpha and omega ring which is a rlly good ring for higher levels) or Cronus in Tartarus (he also drops the Hades wand for level 90s and a rlly good athame). Most people farm Cronus because he’s the easiest and there’s always people farming him. Hope this helps :)

[@coszz]

Howd you get that house setup tho, with the floating floor blocks

[@kneel828]

technically you can get the morganthe athame and amulet at 99

[@ferric]

True, but by the time you get to Morganthe, you will already be above level 100.

[@kikishang2257]

Oh yeahhh

[@Hishamnaveen]

Hi Ferric 😁👍

[@sharkgaming518]

i would like to add a Good alt amulet. would be "Charm of the Soul Devourer" i got it From the Wooden Chest key room in Lower zig zag, but it gives 2 square sockets

[@dr.pepper1835]

would this video change with new updates like spellments or new spells?

[@zetozero]

is jewel of the feint a suitable substitute for the amulet, especially for boss fights?

[@ferric]

It is, however, I recommend using the blade because 2 feints is more than enough from Zafaria all the way to Azteca where you end up getting potent trap anyways. Also the blade amulets give more health.

[@dakotadeathrunner7423]

Alpha and Omega Ring at Level 90 is a MUST. Best ring at that time and after by far

[@ferric]

It's a great ring. I have one and will use it, but even without it it isn't the end of the world. I would have originally recommended to farm for it in this video since Gladiator is also useful for amber farming, but I decided I want to show a better amber-farming method that is way better than Glad which is the reason it didn't make it to this video.

[@203maxwell]

I would also try to get the mass feint hat to swap between for mob fights.

[@203maxwell]

I know this is a budget series but KingsIsle likes to give out the professor packs.

[@ferric]

Max Dulin Not worth it, and for multiple reasons. 1. You lose out on resist which is extremely important for soloing 2. Mass feint costs 1 pip and in battles where you only need 2 blades to kill without wasting any pips, mass feint is not helpful, especially for a death wizard 3. It is not necessary in boss battles either 4. If mass feint was really needed , then it would just be a better idea to use jewel of the feint since it does not stack with mass feint but also doesn’t require you to sacrifice your resist.

[@203maxwell]

@@ferric i think its a must have especially when being boosted. the other good thing is its transferrable so if you get one you can use it on all the other characters of yours of that same base level. also, i definitely recommend getting the 130 version on a max level death as you can have full critical with it.

[@ferric]

Max Dulin yeah it is a good thing to have if you are getting carried or even in regular team questing, but this guide is specifically for players that are soloing most of the game

[@dakotafire6818]

The Hat is only dropped by Luska, The final fight never dropped it, The final fight only drops Robe and boots

[@kookiemonster3126]

i would not recommend using the sky iron hasta its a level 30 wand and its good up till 50 theres way better wands out there and honestly i think having crit is way better than having 10 percent more damage your going to have more damage anyways when you get to 100 so theres no point

[@ferric]

Yeah this video was made years before they added level 50 wands

[@trentongreen3093]

What are the boots called that are from the crown shop? You said there are boots that are better than the hangman boots in the crown shop but didn't say what the boots were called

[@ferric]

Dworgyn’s Dire Boots from the Professor’s Hoard pack. Definitely not needed though.

[@nolankoehler9430]

What is the drop rate for the stitch boots?

[@ferric]

I'm not sure, but you can respawn that boss if you have at least 3 people. Just have one person teleport out, or if you have 4 people, have 2 people teleport out then back in and the boss respawns.

[@eshanmalik4534]

If you are lvl 90 Tartarus gear is the best till darkmoor

It's not worth getting Tartarus gear in my opinion. All you really gain is pierce, health and critical, two of which are useless in PVE.

[@eshanmalik4534]

ferric true but I solo and I don’t have that much health so Critical and damage help so I can fight faster but I do have a pve set up thx for the tip though🙂

[@ferric]

@@eshanmalik4534 Yeah, even for solo PVE, having good damage is better. In certain battles though, Tartarus gear can be useful.

[@_ellog]

is your pet 36(61)?

[@Capjedi]

Chieftains hat is better, for the critical and the stackable blade.

[@ferric]

Critical doesn't matter at all and the blade is useless if you have an amulet that gives you the blade (item card blades don't stack with each other unless they are different blades). The resist on the WW hat is far more important.

Allfsther’s gungir level 80 drops from Gladiator? Even if that is true, I won’t be farming specifically for it since I don’t rely on critical anyways. I’ve done a combined total of 3 hours farming gladiator and I haven’t gotten that wand, unless there is some other boss you are talking about.

Are you sure gladiator drops that? I've farmed him a lot for amber etc and never gotten one. Are you thinking of somebody else?

[@depressing_reap969]

@@ferric Also would certain pieces of gear be better than others? for example: they say you wanna have espirit all the way to darkmoor or level 100. but I've been finding gear that's been better such as Hundred Year Bridge Walkers, gear like it I think is much better than just what you typically get. again, not too sure where I got it from but it's great to have. The gungir is great (I got it from a bundle) though free to play I would recommend it depending on the wizard. if you're fire, death, (maybe ice) and storm you might want it. but for myth, life, and balance maybe not so much. it would come down to personal preference, I usually do all my quests as a solo. so I need the damage. but if you play with a team as a life maybe you'd want sword of kings which I believe you can find it since it doesn't say it's a crown item. it offers 25% outgoing, critical and 1 pierce. no damage, level 76 wand.
