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

[@BigAbsoloot]

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.

[@cdelser]

Dude I LOVED the video! Keep going with this amazing content! 🤩

[@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.

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

[@Damagic1]

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

[@jase7722]

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

[@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.

[@loopy66]

3:54 you can click again and it'll tell you what you lose and gain by swapping to that gear

[@Daniel-rb7zo]

Awesome! Thanks a bunch.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lleyton8791]

didnt exsist when he made this video

[@JumpscareRodent]

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

[@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

[@Usikoe23]

Thx bro very helpful

[@AnthonyCas]

ty for this my wizard is about to be level 60

[@SuperMeatyCake]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@stickpackopeningguy8475]

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

[@charles513]

so this is a lot of help cuz im a level 81 death and iv been struggling a bit and i made the pet but fail the pet but got the stats and it the avenging fossle so yea this is really a lot of help but yea thx for help

[@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

[@akilouissifou9957]

[@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 :)

[@voidblast598]

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

[@oracleloki12]

i got a little bit different set up from you but it still works i got the darwgens hood whitch helps me a lot. but that is how i play

[@ferric]

Yeah honestly a lot of setups work really well, this is just what I had and I wasn't lucky enough to get the Dworgyn's hood from the free professor packs that I had.

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

[@ferric]

Yeah, I just wanted to create a guide encompassing all things starting from level 60. While that ring is definitely better, I wanted to create something so that someone could farm for something at level 60 and technically not have to worry about farming again until they reach level 100.

[@Hishamnaveen]

Hi Ferric 😁👍

[@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.

[@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

The Unicorn NPC (forgot her name) in the wild, in toadstool village. You can train them after completing the White Owl Tower instance.

[@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

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.

[@dr.pepper1835]

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

[@ferric]

Spells can change the deck setup which is why I don't want to focus the video too much around a specific deck setup but rather a strategy to get through fights quickly.

[@Stella-fd2hy]

Idk if I’ll get a response but is deer knight overrated ? I always get made fun of for not having it as a level 80 death

It's a really nice spell for PvE especially for general farming purposes but you'll be fine without it if you can't get it.

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.

what about levels 1-60?

[@ferric]

Honestly, until level 30, use whatever in terms of bazaar gear and what you get dropped from quests, after that, Mount Olympus gear until waterworks is very nice. Once you hit around level 50, you could technically start to buy some bazaar gear that gives good damage and critical as well to speed up questing.

The stitch is from the Umbra blade which you can get from Fishing in the Elephant graveyard. I have a videos which explain fishing in detail and they include how to get these items from fishing.

[@valaska4059]

I almost copied everything and my damage is 92 is that normal?

You are only 13 damage off of what I had and it is likely because of your pet. 92 damage is perfectly fine, in fact 92 is a LOT.

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

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.
