If you friend someone with membership, you can teleport to them at any time. You can also mark places as favorites and teleport to them at any time. Therefore, get a friend with membership to go around the paid places and mark them as favorites, easy way to cheese it

I can hear it too lol. It's because the game is so damn repetitive, honestly the game is hella low quality overall with too much crap to pay for but had me addicted back when I played it.
It never said “100% free”. That’s how they get ya. Sure it’s free to play... you can play as long as you want for absolutely free. But if you want to progress and win... you gotta pay 💰
kraken was only good for farming items to sell, the best way to level up is either winterbane if your willing to find people to farm with, or just kill everything in haunted cave, if you havent unlocked other parts of the first world
It’s a shame, really. This game is so amazing, and I’m sad the only way to fully immerse yourself in the experience is through pay walls, and memberships. Same with pirate101...
@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 That's kinda too much. I'd be fine with entire wizard city being free and maybe first location in Krokotopia. That way people would feel much more obliged to continue cuz they already spent this much time and effort into the game.
I remember when i used to play wizard101 as a child and I was dedicated to the game. When I got to the pay wall I found that if I grind mobs and level up new side quests come. So I essentially did side quests as a reward through hours of hard grinding
I spend a whole year farming witerbane and pagoda without membership on my balance, I got to level 27, and oilier my sanity, was it worth? Well, the my 5th grade classmates thought I was a god, so yeah. Worth
I've gotten to lvl 30 without paying at all. I even finished Wizard City from the 'explore wizard city for free'.You just need to wait for special events like that to level up.
awwn that's so cute :') I regret making my dad buing anything related to virtual games, it probably cost him the hundreds... but at least I'm still playing Wizard lol
I remember being a kid playing this game for free for so long and grinded out so many mobs all the way to level 20. That is actually very hard to do. I end up getting level 20 and im so exited to go to Grizzlehiem and the look of terror on my little face when that pay wall showed up haunts me to this day
I once met this poor kid in the haunted cave that was free to play but on level 18. He was a fire wizard and I wanted to buy him membership so bad but at the time that wasnt a thing. I hope he still plays and has membership by now, because he honestly deserves it.
@@xiholliday I wouldn't know I was there all the time farming just started playing again but still no membership lol doing it for nostalgia but would love to beat the game lol.

Thank you for reminding me about my entire childhood. I played this game for years now I’m graduating high school and this popped up on my recommended. Also extremely well done and entertaining video I did not expect that. You deserve more subscribers.
One of the saddest things in the world is really just how Wizard 101 could've had the potential to be so much more because it's such a great game, but these microtransactions are killing it. Take a note from Star Wars Battlefront II.
These microtransactions are definitely not killing it. They're what's keeping it afloat. The player base is absolutely miniscule. The whales are who pay for development of new worlds.
I remember having so much fun on this game in 2009 until I had to go to firecat alley and I was 7 so when it said you need to pay I thought “if I try really really hard to go through I won’t have to pay” so I just held the forward key and kept pushing harder and harder until I broke the key. I then got bored and quit the game. I haven’t thought about this game since.
I have so much to say about this game. I remember playing it with my friends for the first time. Spending all of my time defeating pumpkin monster thingies. Racing with my friend on who will do better in the pet game. And trying my best to level up my pet unicorn thinking it was going to become a mount if I did so. So much time spent, but got bored of it after a few months without membership. You would think it would end there but no. A few months after we decide to come back to this game, and we discover there is now a Turkish server(we are Turkish). Excited, me and my 2 friends download it. And to our surprise, it was free. Every. Single. World until Celestia was free. We were shocked and addicted. It was really populated, free, chat was open except swear words and we had soooo much fun. We made a lot of friends there. We would do quests together, play hide and seek in their houses, and we even had boyfriends and we would do couple's pvps. I still can't remember having a better experience in an mmo game than Wizard101. But one day, they announced the Turkish server was closing. Like I said before, it was really populated so we couldn't understand why that was happening. The team said they can't tell why and we still don't know to this day. I remember all zones were free for the last days of the game. My other 2 friends were playing the game with their in-game friends for the last time and saying their goodbyes.(we didn't have social media since we were 9-10 years old.) But I was unable to do so because our internet was gone. I remember puting my pc on top of the clotheshores in the balcony so I would be able to connect to my neighbor's internet. It took ages to open the game but it did. Unfortunately, it was so late at night and it was the very last day, so nobody was online. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to everyone. Fast forward to 6 years later, the exact same 2 friends of mine and I bought 1 month membership and played the game everyday together. So yeah we sometimes buy it when we have enough money. Like the time we worked at McDonalds or now that The Feast of Ramadan is coming, we will be able to get some money from relatives and will definitely buy membership. I can never get disattached from this game.
Ah yes, the nostalgia of watching what seemed to be an infinite amount of ads to get free crowns to get through those pay walls. I quite after the third wall.
I like to log onto Pirate 101 on occasion (read every few months) and to be honest... I used to be able to get to like.. level 20 before I hit the first pay wall... good luck getting level 10 last time I checked. you can't even make it past the "last supper" without paying.
I started playing this game in 2009. But I was extremely dumb lmao. I returned back to this game around 2016 and was able to get to Level 32. - with membership of course
Back in 2013 I used to play the game but couldn't advance due to not having membership so I stopped at lvl 12 but in 2018 I came back and got to like lvl 96. With membership of course.
This gave me huge flashbacks man. I just recently started playing again after almost a 10 year break, and now i finally got to get a membership because i paid for it myself, and man it was a good feeling to experience krok and every other world for the first time.
@@matthewskullblood9778 yeah, getting all the way to whale used to be free. not anymore. Your first paywall is at the rats "last supper" last time I checked
Haunted Cave rotting fodders for me. I wanted to get to lvl 15 so I could buy the Red Barn Farm and start gardening. Then I thought 'What the hey it's just another level to get the next school spell.' so I grinded to level 16. Then it's another thing and another thing until level 20 to get the 1-pip wands. Then I thought 'Dammit I'll just get a membership!'. The game sucked me in big time.
I got to level 13 on my first wizard without membership. I thought that was literally amazing. I now have a level 60 wizard after being able to buy membership XD
Lol I remember that. Good times. I did the same. Then I got competitive and got myself to 60 too lol then I went back and power hunger consumed me and now I’m at 109.
btw, don't worry. They can't make you repeat if you fail all the tests. Not until Yr 10 at least. The only way you'll repeat is if you're both an asshole, and fail all the assessments, IIRC.
Logged back in today for the first time since 2009. My old necromancer was still standing right where I left him all of those years ago, waiting patiently for the day I come back. Well I'm back little dude, and this time I've got adult money to turn in those quests
It's not false advertising. You played free didn't you? Now you just need to pay to unlock the rest of the content. Kingsisle is a business, a business needs to make money doesn't it?
@@battlec43 Yeah but it's kind of a douchey thing to do, marketing something as free and then requiring you to pay to continue. Not that I know anything about this other than constantly getting ads..
@@battlec43 yes, but they're preying on children. Luring children in with the false security of free to play only to be met with a pay wall. Its very obviously preying on kids
@@battlec43 it is false advertising. just because you were allowed to access 5% of the game for free doesn't mean KI delivered by stating "the game is free".
Haven’t played Wizard101 in years, this video just popped up in my recommended and god do I miss this game. Having sleepovers with 3 of my friends and staying up until 4 A.M. and drinking soda while playing Wizard101. Now all of my old friends play fortnite and I play Destiny 2, I wish I could just go back to playing Minecraft and Wizard101, 6 years ago. Damn, this even hurts me to type.
Lmao I reached lvl 19 without crowns or membership. I kept doing pagoda and winterbane in random peoples houses while I did trivia and saved my crowns 😂
@@spoopy2180 same! looks like they recently changed it, they were sold in pieces 750 each I think? I need about 1,400 crowns for the second (ice) area now
Back when I was younger, firecat alley was as far as you could go. I was stuck on one specific quest involving that street for literal YEARS and just never gave up for whatever reason
when i was a kid I simply reach lvl 16 just by playing repeatedly inside the triton avenue I always kill the Kraken just for the permanent mount until i reach 16 HAHAHAH
I know I'm late to the party, but back in 2016 I was 11 and didn't have money. I ended up spending hours grinding the scarecrows in the haunted cave. I ended up level 17 and I was done. The End
I got to lvl 31 back in 2014 with no membership, only hours on top of hours of grinding. Just got back into the game recently with a membership and I’m lvl 20 in only a day and a half. Leveling without a membership is a HUGE waste of time.
The first story arc should be free to play at this point. This game is one of the best games I have ever played in my life and I'm glad I had the privilege of experiencing it
I so wish that this game was just a one time payment, make it like any other game and let you pay fucking $60 then never pay for anything ever again except maybe cosmetics.
I recommend just doing trivia, every one trivia quiz you do on the Kingsisle website 50 (or something like that) crowns to your account. Then if you have enough you can buy areas. But it is extremely time consuming and annoying and the worst thing is is that you can only do 10 quizzes a day
I got to level 20 by grinding FIeld Guards at Haunted Cave because my parents wouldn't buy me the membership, and I wasted a lot of time with the trivia for the free crowns and I unlocked Cyclops Lane, but I got bored of doing the same 120 questions every day for only 100 crowns. I had hopes for Grizzleheim to be free, but it wasn't, so I gave up and asked my parents one last time and they are buying me the membership and couldn't be more excited about it!
You can play the entire game for free, 1. Find accursed gauntlet 2. Farm for pigsies and sell them for empowers (mostly discord servers) 3. When you have enough empowers you can buy crowns or prepaid memberships (from discord servers)
I got to level 24 on my life wizard without membership or crowns by grinding, then after a year I bought a membership. And I'm now at dragonspyre and I am level 43
I pay for every single area with crowns. As of right now, if you pay $100, you get 80,000 crowns. You save like $60 I believe. It costs 210,040 crowns for every single place altogether until they add another world. If my math is correct, that is $262.55 but since you have to buy the $100 option, it'd be $300. If you just buy the lower options, you don't get as many crowns. I'll use the $10 option for my math because it's the lowest option on their website that doesn't give you bonus crowns for it but it should be the same no matter if it's a $5 or the $20 prepaid card. I got $420.08 as the answer. I bought almost every area with the $20 prepaid card and bought packs, houses, and mounts. I have sunk hundreds in my account. Well, my parents sunk hundreds into it but I had a job for a year, almost 2 so I don't need to rely on them anymore for this. Lol.
If you friend someone with membership, you can teleport to them at any time. You can also mark places as favorites and teleport to them at any time. Therefore, get a friend with membership to go around the paid places and mark them as favorites, easy way to cheese it
Shikamaru is correct. You can't access paid areas unless you paid for them no matter what.
This doesn't work lol

I like to log onto Pirate 101 on occasion (read every few months) and to be honest... I used to be able to get to like.. level 20 before I hit the first pay wall... good luck getting level 10 last time I checked. you can't even make it past the "last supper" without paying.
They let you play for free til it comes to having to get on a pirate ship😒
i miss this game, i got to level 56 back in 2011
- with membership of course
I started playing this game in 2009. But I was extremely dumb lmao. I returned back to this game around 2016 and was able to get to Level 32.
- with membership of course
@@MARUJYOU8088 well gotta tell ya I got my balance wizard to level 34
- without membership of course ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Back in 2013 I used to play the game but couldn't advance due to not having membership so I stopped at lvl 12 but in 2018 I came back and got to like lvl 96. With membership of course.
Cause I didn’t have membership or crowns I just used to fight kraken all the time 😂
Same
gkayy gripsed your batty dude same lmao. Always got temporary mounts
This gave me huge flashbacks man. I just recently started playing again after almost a 10 year break, and now i finally got to get a membership because i paid for it myself, and man it was a good feeling to experience krok and every other world for the first time.
Same I haven’t played since 2011
I think I left my char at level 110. Thought about selling it but I might check it out again
Don't know why this is in my recommendation feed but it was a nice trip down memory lane.
I got my life wizard to a level 29 for free just from re doing winterbane and farming the kraken
lol just 29? im 38 by farming pagoda and bane lol

I remembered playing Pirate101 and watching consecutive ads to get the crowns. I managed to get all the way to the whale before I stopped playing.
I remember when the whale was free.
Isnt the whale free
matthew skullblood oh shet, had I not played for that long? Damn when I played not even the cave was free lol. Kinda glad they making stuff free now.
@@destin8524 I played years ago when it was free, but I remember it got updated and wasn't anymore.
@@matthewskullblood9778 yeah, getting all the way to whale used to be free. not anymore. Your first paywall is at the rats "last supper" last time I checked
I remember when I fought the scarecrows for hours to level up lol
Haunted Cave rotting fodders for me. I wanted to get to lvl 15 so I could buy the Red Barn Farm and start gardening. Then I thought 'What the hey it's just another level to get the next school spell.' so I grinded to level 16.
Then it's another thing and another thing until level 20 to get the 1-pip wands. Then I thought 'Dammit I'll just get a membership!'. The game sucked me in big time.
I did that too also hous tours
Bruh, I made it to level 43 off them scarecrows!
I got to level 13 on my first wizard without membership. I thought that was literally amazing. I now have a level 60 wizard after being able to buy membership XD
same here, except now i have to say bye to that account because its on UK servers and its literally a ghost town
Lol I remember that. Good times. I did the same. Then I got competitive and got myself to 60 too lol then I went back and power hunger consumed me and now I’m at 109.
cloud nine I got to level 50 fighting in Triton Ave when I was younger.. don’t know how tf I did that.
Same except it was level 12
I’ve managed to get to level 20 without paying 😂
The memories of playing this game like 10 years ago on my mom's slow-ass laptop lol.
Ohhhh. So to sum it up Wizard 101 is basically an old Pay 2 Win?
No, it's play to pay. Play the "game" then pay to actually play the game :3
Lol yeah pay to play because I don’t think anyone actually beat the game
Even the purchasable gear won't save you from the cheating bosses in late content.
@@wakawakawakawaka8804 wtf play to pay? or pay to play
@@themostrecent1615 Play to pay, meaning the game gives you freedom until the pay wall

A lot of people still play

and now there is a dungeon coming
wizard101 dating is still a thing XD
hippiesenior plays wizard101 as well
Made it to level 28 from just doing winterbane and other dungeons

"I defeated Roberto in his mom's basement" lmaoooo
I can hear the sounds from this game in my head. it's like a look back into my childhood
I literally grew up on this game and toontown. Mostly toontown but on the side I played this game!
me: I need to finish my classes before the end of school
youtube: here's a video of a guy playing Wizard101
me: looks like I'm gonna fail 8th grade
btw, don't worry. They can't make you repeat if you fail all the tests. Not until Yr 10 at least. The only way you'll repeat is if you're both an asshole, and fail all the assessments, IIRC.
Same dude I'm in 8th grade and just took my end of grade testing
Im a Senior and I still play this game
@@Gamerking64210 same this game be lit as hell
Same except I’m in 10th
Logged back in today for the first time since 2009. My old necromancer was still standing right where I left him all of those years ago, waiting patiently for the day I come back. Well I'm back little dude, and this time I've got adult money to turn in those quests
Lol
This game is still out 😂😂😂 I remember the commercials for this still
watching this video only made me remember the infamous words of: Flock you
lol
or foo'k you. they removed that though
@@alexandriahammyboi2968 They even removed "you bench" lmao

Be careful or you’ll get muted for ten years like me 🥴
About to cyclops lane.
“You can play for free at wizard101.com”
False advertising
It's not false advertising. You played free didn't you? Now you just need to pay to unlock the rest of the content. Kingsisle is a business, a business needs to make money doesn't it?
@@battlec43 Yeah but it's kind of a douchey thing to do, marketing something as free and then requiring you to pay to continue. Not that I know anything about this other than constantly getting ads..
@@battlec43 yes, but they're preying on children. Luring children in with the false security of free to play only to be met with a pay wall. Its very obviously preying on kids
@@battlec43 it is false advertising. just because you were allowed to access 5% of the game for free doesn't mean KI delivered by stating "the game is free".
@@battlec43 Explain Warframe then. How are they making money?
I love your sense of humor. Ambrose can buzz off, everyone is too lazy to help :D
Hailey M how dare you put headmaster ambros to shame! You are not a true wizard!
I can only go up to lvl 13 I’m not killing kraken over hundred times again 😂
Actually I made it to 15 and almost 16 but then I bought membership
@@SirRadec yeah lol but it will take a while and I don't have that patience
It was a lot more fun to farm kraken 10 years ago when that little arena was filled with 70+ players at one time
Madboi01 yup you would go there and hope to get in the ring with all those players 😂
@@SirRadec 45 XD
Haven’t played Wizard101 in years, this video just popped up in my recommended and god do I miss this game. Having sleepovers with 3 of my friends and staying up until 4 A.M. and drinking soda while playing Wizard101. Now all of my old friends play fortnite and I play Destiny 2, I wish I could just go back to playing Minecraft and Wizard101, 6 years ago. Damn, this even hurts me to type.
“And this is how far we got in wizard with out membership so what did we learn from this video” *him in a soft voice* Go buy membership😂😂
My friend got to level 16 by only farming scarecrows
i got to 27 doing winterbane a few times daily for a month or so
I am back to playing this game after watching your video. Returning after 7 years
Damn bro
enjoy
Lol you still playin
Nostalgia is wonderful.
update: played for 1 months after the initial comment and didn't play after that
I actually got to level 29 about 4 years ago when I use to play this game..... not a single membership or crown purchase
I got to my mid 40s 😂😂😂. I stopped playing after Mirage came out
Lmao I reached lvl 19 without crowns or membership. I kept doing pagoda and winterbane in random peoples houses while I did trivia and saved my crowns 😂
Same. Now I gotta get 3500 crowns so I can unlock krokotopia
@@spoopy2180 same! looks like they recently changed it, they were sold in pieces 750 each I think?
I need about 1,400 crowns for the second (ice) area now
@@factsandinfoAR When did they change it? A couple of years ago i bought krokotopia with trivia crowns and costed 915 individually.
Man, everything in Turkish server was free and didn't need membership at all. I miss those days.
Thank you for reminding me how poor I am and my family
Back when I was younger, firecat alley was as far as you could go. I was stuck on one specific quest involving that street for literal YEARS and just never gave up for whatever reason
I still remember that taunting quest arrow
when i was a kid I simply reach lvl 16 just by playing repeatedly inside the triton avenue I always kill the Kraken just for the permanent mount until i reach 16 HAHAHAH
Theres nothing more nostalgic than the old starter robe's (honestly I think they're better looking than the new updated ones)
i can remember the good old days of porting into vip dungeons. it was really epic
What a throwback I used to grind this game so hard way back then
when i was younger i thought you had to complete all the quest in wizard city to move on to the next world 😭
Basically how the game should be
I know I'm late to the party, but back in 2016 I was 11 and didn't have money. I ended up spending hours grinding the scarecrows in the haunted cave. I ended up level 17 and I was done. The End
I got to lvl 31 back in 2014 with no membership, only hours on top of hours of grinding. Just got back into the game recently with a membership and I’m lvl 20 in only a day and a half. Leveling without a membership is a HUGE waste of time.
The first story arc should be free to play at this point. This game is one of the best games I have ever played in my life and I'm glad I had the privilege of experiencing it
12 year old me spent an entire summer fighting over and over again in Unicorn Way to gain exp all the way to level 35😂
I feel like people would be more inclined to buy membership if they gave us more than 5 hours of gameplay in the “base game”
I'm crying on the inside because I used to play this game all the time when I was little. I just happened to come across this.
This is exactly how far I got about 5-7 years ago and I just recently started playung again when they made arc 1 free for all players
I remember when I went under the waterfall and found the death school when I was younger and I got so hyped
Who remembers the good old days wehre everything was free 😔
I so wish that this game was just a one time payment, make it like any other game and let you pay fucking $60 then never pay for anything ever again except maybe cosmetics.
Blizzard should team up with wizard 101 and pirates 101 to make a badass game

Played this game a decade ago. Randomly finds a video about it in my recommended. Enjoys video. Subs.
I'm a simple man.
I recommend just doing trivia, every one trivia quiz you do on the Kingsisle website 50 (or something like that) crowns to your account. Then if you have enough you can buy areas. But it is extremely time consuming and annoying and the worst thing is is that you can only do 10 quizzes a day
Nobody:
RUclips recomendations:
Bro wtf, how did this video blow up froggy OMG 😂😂😂
I got to level 20 by grinding FIeld Guards at Haunted Cave because my parents wouldn't buy me the membership, and I wasted a lot of time with the trivia for the free crowns and I unlocked Cyclops Lane, but I got bored of doing the same 120 questions every day for only 100 crowns. I had hopes for Grizzleheim to be free, but it wasn't, so I gave up and asked my parents one last time and they are buying me the membership and couldn't be more excited about it!
Was it worth it
What I learned was don't advertise your game as Free to Play and then slap paywalls in the game.
You can play the entire game for free, 1. Find accursed gauntlet 2. Farm for pigsies and sell them for empowers (mostly discord servers) 3. When you have enough empowers you can buy crowns or prepaid memberships (from discord servers)
omg I remember playing this when I was like 8
the nostalgia hits hard
The fact that I redeemed crowns the first time and could only afford firecat alley-
I got to level 24 on my life wizard without membership or crowns by grinding, then after a year I bought a membership. And I'm now at dragonspyre and I am level 43
@Froggys I really liked the parody of Mitten Squad. I laughed my butt off and liked the video after it was done. Very well done and wholesome.
I pay for every single area with crowns. As of right now, if you pay $100, you get 80,000 crowns. You save like $60 I believe. It costs 210,040 crowns for every single place altogether until they add another world. If my math is correct, that is $262.55 but since you have to buy the $100 option, it'd be $300. If you just buy the lower options, you don't get as many crowns. I'll use the $10 option for my math because it's the lowest option on their website that doesn't give you bonus crowns for it but it should be the same no matter if it's a $5 or the $20 prepaid card. I got $420.08 as the answer. I bought almost every area with the $20 prepaid card and bought packs, houses, and mounts. I have sunk hundreds in my account. Well, my parents sunk hundreds into it but I had a job for a year, almost 2 so I don't need to rely on them anymore for this. Lol.
Remembered the Times where everything Was free...
"Free"
@@イレ-t8x Hmm, ok. Well, I didn't know about it. I played when I was younger and I'm guessing the time I did, they pay walls were already established.
this game is the reason why I have trust issues...I THOUGHT IT WAS FREE TO PLAY :,(
I remember grinding my wizard so I can go to grizzleheim without paying.
Not even gonna complain about the recommendation this time just pure nostalgia at 3am
This is beautiful a true depiction of my wallet being destroyed on a low polygon game
