Wizard101: The Problem With Aquila

[@FormalPhantom]

I'm seeing a lot of comments about my pronunciation of Aquila, don't make me throw hands smh

[@greenthumb373]

You're pronouncing it correctly. It's Latin for 'eagle.'

[@JazzminStar]

As much as I love how Aquila looks and such, I think it’s wasted potential. Like not gonna lie, I would so prefer a world with a storyline and such about Greek mythology than just 3 dungeons...

[@basedaudio1]

I thought they would expand on this man.. I was soo excited.

[@wolfstormwizard424]

Don’t worry Pirate101 expands on that

[@byronlee991017]

They should reward you for finishing Aquila in the end with a spell. There are 9 pip Aquila spells locked behind item cards that should be trainable imo.

[@anthonymccoy7711]

You should get all of them after beating all of it.

[@greenthumb373]

Yes thank you! I am so mad the Aquila spells aren't trainable or craftable still wth. I really want Artemis and Poseidon spells for my ice and Apollo spell for my life...

[@themysterylord9721]

Atlantea is completely overshadowed by Waterworks, literally. Both are obviously underwater but Waterworks provides such superior gear that gives great damage and universal resistance which makes the trials worthwhile. Speaking of Tartarus, I finally obtained tier 1 hat and robe and tier 2 boots of Hades's set, the Amulet of Divine Influence, Cronus' athame, and Hades' fire wand. I subsequently thought Azteca would be easier yet I was sorely mistaken. I swear I died faster with the Hades set up than the Waterworks set.

[@michaeldean2877]

For real wow that sucks

[@ValToadstool]

Hades drops 2 sets of gear, one which gives universal resist, and another which does not. The main advantage of Tartarus gear is that it gives a lot more crit compared to waterworks gear

[@adiliom5781]

Imagine grinding for hades gear (unless ur balance) 😂😂

[@themysterylord9721]

@@michaeldean2877 Yeah, that is an unfortunate fate I was met with. Now I switch between the two gear set ups.

[@themysterylord9721]

@@ValToadstool I got the universal resistance gear and the high critical does come in handy for select scenarios, yet doesn't hold water most of the time.

[@hellscream4354]

Atlantea never made sense because waterworks already existed before it came out, Tartarus was actually the best before Darkmoor so that's the only one we can call outdated. Atlantea is just sillyness lol

Yeah you might as well wait the next 10 levels from 90 to grind for Darkmoor gear. Waterworks will get you to Darkmoor and through it.

[@markmealey1018]

Honestly when I get to Aquila I always farm Olympus at level 30, but most of the time if I get the full senator set I just stick to that set because it takes forever to obtain the Zeus set and finding a good group on team up is a struggle. The senator set for most classes has pretty similar stats to the Zeus set

[@javonjones8310]

I've have said this in another video, Aquila should have ties to the myth school and should be a power boost at 30,60, and 90 milestones because of the mythology. Myth students should have been given the opportunity to either gain the Apollo or Aires dmg spell at 30, the spell to summon the kraken at 60, and the choice to gain the Cerberus summon spell or one of the three gods as a new attack spell worthy of level 90. I also believe that Krok should be expanded upon as well. That whole thing with the krokonomicon, why can't death wizards have a quest line that allows you to unlock the krokonomicon in mightside and learn new drains and preparation spells. The death school my opinion was design with the Egyptians view on death and how they "prepare a person for the after life". I'm not seeing the school aspect of the game anymore From ravenwood to the Arcanaium is too far of a stretch between schools.

[@Mar-ip8bs]

still rocking Avalon crafted gear at level 95 it works pretty well

[@skylarkhyrsta6129]

I have a Max Death and a level 75 Life and still havent finished Tartarus because I went for Darkmoor. I never saw the reason to finish this side area because it just never felt worth its wild

[@ZackMuffinMan]

Atlantea was never useful. Mount Olympus still is, and Tartarus used to be. Both are still used for the secret bosses for farming amber and mastery amulets though.

[@fazesw2343]

I still see people farming Tartarus

[@coryokki]

Atlantea drops an amazing crit want for level 70, but that’s about it :/

[@ivailoivanov01]

Graphically one of the best looking places

[@papazeus4148]

ok not gonna lie this video hurt me XD i love greek mythology so much

[@noahthegawd101]

Yo i just had an argument about how Atlantis gear is so garbage because its only good factor is critical, but you loose the mass amount of damage you can have from zigzag or evenwinter tusk crafted

[@ericl1623]

Honestly I just loved the theme of the place I mean I think a world dedicated to Aquila would be amazing in my opinion.

[@basedaudio1]

Missed opportunity..

[@lbxmega6574]

My view on this is, mount Olympus for wand only. Then tart for the wand only. And for amber Cronus is the easiest imo because he has cheats but if you fight him it’s like they don’t actually exists. Just blade feint and hit and his cheats won’t impede you. Sky iron hasta is great, undeniable, and I really like going from the hasta to hades wand because the crit is so good. The Mali wand gives crit but it’s little less and pierce isn’t worth.

[@RichHomieGon]

Phantom, a small critique for your video. When you’re showing gear, you really need to leave it up there for more than 1 second 😂 Yes, viewers can pause the video to look at it but who wants to pause your commentary just to stare at it in silence? Lol It would be nice if you put a little more effort into showing the gears your comparing side by side next to each for several seconds while you discuss them. The game itself already makes showing a side by side comparison easy if you have the gear. And if you don’t, you can still at least leave the graphics on the screen longer. There’s really no reason to show the map of Aquila this entire video other than plain laziness 😂😂 I would much rather look at a visual that enhances the points you’re making in the video. I hope you consider these small changes for your future videos to improve their quality. Good video otherwise

[@Solounin]

Zeus gear and waterworks i got all gear within like 5-6 runs i would say its completely worth it.

[@WeyardWiz]

[@cyrusvile6622]

They can always make it bigger... hades is not the strongest boss. I would love to fight polybitus, or typhoon. Ideally both. Polybitus would be the lvl 150 boss, while typhoon the lvl 200 boss

[@jackc.23]

It seems like you don’t really know much about this game. Tartarus was the max level dungeon at the time when it came out and it was the best gear in the game. Still is the best gear for level 90. Just because new updates have been added to the game doesn’t make the dungeon terrible. Your only point is that it is outdated? Don’t understand the reason for this video at all

[@sirbear6197]

I'm raging on how your pronouncing Aquila. I could be the one at fault tho.

[@evasiuk]

yeah you are, he said it right

[@TalentedTrident]

Trent he’s not, look at pirate101. It’s pronounced with the ‘ah’ sound you find in “apple”

[@pounds7969]

at this point im gonna start farming Barkingham Palace cause i hate Mount Olympus so much

[@Brandt304]

Is Barkingham gear better?

[@evasiuk]

honestly just keep pushing sith bazaar gear to 60

[@MementoDespair]

Atlantea was always the most pointless and plus it should have been level 60, but they made it 70 since they didn't want to make water works obselete or useless so they made the gear inferior and 10 levels higher. smh there's 2 better options of gear to farm

[@the360experiencewithzap]

I mean i think Hades wand is pretty good but that's the only good thing i'd say

[@kervyngangadeen7156]

I feel like the Craftable Gear In Celestia Is Underrated Like the Gear You get From the vendors in The Grotto and the 2 other places there is what I used for like level 48-60 until Waterworks. it Worked for me so idk🤷‍♂️....

[@greenthumb373]

I think it should have been a whole world to begin with. I mean there's sooo much Greek and Roman mythology, the world could have been absolutely massive. It'd be cool if they added another three new dungeons for like lvls 140-170 eventually to make it less obsolete. Also, the spells should be trainable and craftable...

[@thomassol9725]

Tartarus is always debatable for me. Hades alone has 2 sets of gear. Zeus and Poseidon also drop lvl 90 gear from there. So 4 different sets of lvl 90 gear and it only drops from the last fight. It's just not worth doing the entire area and getting a chance at one piece of 4 different sets. Also Darkmoor gives a spell so why not Aquila?

[@cameron7441]

Honestly, it would make sense if they made a Greek world. They could just give it a quest saying you need to go to Zeus and ask him how to save Greece or something. Mount Olympus isnt the biggest part of Greece, just the home of the gods.

[@superzertuche1]

THEE only good thing about tartarus is the fact that you can get amber from Cronus. But now a days I feel like his drop rates are even lower. Seriously how can someone fight him 8 times on a row and still get no amber?????

[@tenzinsmith]

I respectfully disagree. I found the dungeons to be fun and a good challenge, and the gear was a nice bonus. Also, an idea I had to make it more worthwhile would be to have upgraded versions of the Sky Iron Hasta in Tararus and Atlantea. Overall I’m just the type of player that loves any Wiz content though; I’m just a huge sucker for this game. Edit: I’m the kind of guy who has never skipped a dialogue box...

[@madarauchihaandromeda]

Aquila should be part of Wysteria simply because of the resemblance. Both worlds are based on Greek mythology

[@jonathanruiz1524]

I can agree that the gear maybe worth farming for some school for critical like fire myth and storm but I would just skip, but don't agree with the dagger, yes the morganth dagger is better but it takes 10 levels ahead and you need to be able to go to the hive to farm her just for a couple of health and a circle jewel space

[@daniella921]

It has become trash since ZigZag gives better gear which is lvls before to this. The Squid is just a shitty questline. I just farm for Amber in there. #GARBAGE

[@NicolasClark7732]

I was literally talking with somebody about this just the other day since I was farming on my Storm for the Zeus gear. Mentioned how except for Zeus, none of the other dungeons are really worth farming. Said how they could remedy that by making spell drops, whether or not they're new spells or just old ones added to the bosses, or improving the gear to make it more desirable, and just make the drops better.

[@micahgoldson1253]

I wish we were able to fight specific bosses after completing the dungeon. Like, once we’ve beaten Tartarus, we should be able to repeat the last battle instead of doing the whole dungeon.

[@ItsNep]

Aquila was such a blast when it came out, and I really do hate how its been neglected and become useless.

[@kalpek6913]

hopefully if a gear/stat rework happens aquila gear can come back into relevance.

[@lilchimchim8400]

I honestly only farm for level 30 gear, then waterworks and etc.

[@fishbread9208]

Not a aurgment it's a opinion

[@dontdriveat88]

Here lay the whirlwind mounts.

[@NoizyInSeattle]

I was happy with and still like the Gladiator ring, and Cronus athame. The Hades gear is slightly better than Waterworks gear, but I farmed Darkmoor with just the Waterworks stuff. Cronus is a good place to farm for amber, though.

[@ceraskborec12]

When i played my first playthrough as ice wiz, the mount olympus dungeon wand was really good for the whole first Arc. I used it until i got good crit wand. It was only dungeon i bought, then at level 90 i farmed Gladiator for Alpha and omega rings and Ambers. Level 70 dungeon is completely useless, WW gear is still better imo and lvl 90 is so bad, i crafted Avalon gear until i hit lvl 100 and keep farming exalted / Castle Darkmoor and got best gear possible until release of Empyrea.

[@mattbalfe2983]

I mean I still use hades hat because even 30 runs through and 15 levels past 100 I haven't gotten Mali's hat. I think Atlantea is useless but if they moved tartarus to level 80 it would be worth getting that gear to carry you through Azteca and Khrysalis.

[@paulraegler3267]

I think they are worth going through once for the Story. As for farming, only the Gladiator and Chronos are worth farming for Amber and Master Amulets.

[@dhruvjain510]

Hades gear was pretty good it helped me in khryalis in the beginning,and it was interesting too. Atlantea was a bust.Man ten levels are not low and in khrysalis when you are soloing you need that crit.that hades gear gives and the wand is very good most of.the people still use it(thats my opinion)

[@notanedgydragonrulerguy5157]

Imo atlantea should either have squid drop some strong level 90 gear like wands or amulets or it should just be removed fully

[@legnd300]

Also if it could be accessible through the spiral door instead of having to go through cyclops lane, maybe it would have more activity.

[@mathwiz3145]

My issue with this game as a whole is 1 player can’t solo a lot of the dungeons at the level they unlock the new area.

[@axp3731]

Need to add more lore bosses with better gear instead of putting everything in packs.

[@theresistance5633]

Hi 🤦‍♂️🤦

[@lifedeather]

Yeah never understood the hype and Aquila as a world. I never really borhtered to do any of the dungeons, not even for the Sky Iron Hasta. I considered it, but as a crowns player, I am not willing to shell out around 2.5k crowns for a dungeon. Not only does the dungeon take time, but the Sky Iron Hasta is eventually obselete. I am going to replace the Hasta in later levels anyways so why get it? Ill just do Grizzle into Wintertusk for the levels and stick with a normal powerpip wand, if I can get a better wand from crown packs even better, the only thing the Hasta has going for it is 10% damage which in reality, can help sometimes, but I have a Ghulture and some crowns gear for each of my characters(except Ice >:( ) so I have enough damage already and am killing most mobs/bosses with my Aoe spell and some blades. The damage with Hasta is frankly overkill when I can use lesser gear and still win the fights. Aquila is definitely a world worth skipping altogether for me. Now, I know that there are definitely some Sky Iron Hasta fanboys(met one in-game who told me to uninstall for not having Hasta the other day) that are going to tell me, omg so worth why arent you doing it, your playing the game wrong! and thats fine. If you guys want to do it then go ahead and do it, let everyone have their own way of playing through the game. I am perfectely content skipping this world kknowing I will still hit 130 like normal and get better gear/wands eventually even if it's past level 100. I have good enough gear to last me for now and thats all I need. No one is going to change my mind about Aquila but I gotta thank KI for making this world OPTIONAL, and I encourage many new players these days to honestely skip this world. Its a big time waster and not really worth it. If any of you want to do it go ahead, but remember that the world is again: OPTIONAL.

[@RK-so1cc]
