thanks for keeping this stuff alive. your dedication to unearthing and tracking down evidence of these needle-in-a-haystack like facts from a game thats practically a relic itself is just so heartwarming, due simply to the way it has brought people together and brought back so many memories, it's nice to have a sense of community in these trying times. sometimes you know people you played a game online with better than your own neighbors 😂
I really appreciate your kind words. That truly means a lot! And my pleasure :) Even though these videos take a ton of time and effort, I absolutely love making them. It’s become such a passion of mine. And reading through everyone’s wonderful comments makes it all worthwhile! 😁
I'm so glad you had the fizzling spell segment, I thought I was going mad, I knew deep down I could hear a very subtle difference every time it was a fizzle.
Lmaooo nope, you’re completely sane! In fact most people don’t even notice, so if anything you’re extremely perceptive for picking up on it. Good stuff 😎👍
Gladrocker, I’ve noticed for a long time when the fire spell will fizzle and it’s not only because of the audio. The flame when casting is coloured slightly more pale when fizzling
The only sign that i know im going to fizzle (for fire) is that when the flame particles go pale or dying out, but when successfully casted the flame particles give vibrant and bright firey-orangey flaming red.
I remember the Tournament ad as well. The animated part is what I remember least quite honestly, seeing something Wiz-related in live action feels so high-budget nowadays haha
that’s awesome you remember seeing the tournaments commercial! this is the first time i’ve seen it. And agreed - i wish ki put out more high quality animations like this!
not only does the sound of the casting animation is different, the look of the class icons are different too, the death one is by far the easiest to tell. As i play i learn them more and more.
This. All of the icons get a subtle smokiness to their visuals before they fizzle, but the Death one straight up looks like it's cracking and falling apart. I think for audio, Storm is actually the easiest to tell because it's significantly more high-pitched when fizzling.
Was coming to say that! You’ll see the dust from the fizzle on the top of the logo prior to fizzling; fire seems to glow brighter as well, At least I’ve noticed I could be wrong.
@@Wizarduser101 yeah the fire one is a brighter tone more like a yellow then a normal orange color of the flame, it looks really cool. And then the fire also sounds like smoke going out, the attention to detail is really cool
dude these types of videos are my favourite. searching through the depths of our favourite childhood game and bringing us new facts about wizard101 that we never knew about is actually just so interesting and nostalgic to watch. keep it up my guy! edit: i hope you didnt actually mean "one more time" :(
Btw, I have an account that can access the Spiral Geographic Society gauntlet in Marleybone, the retired dungeon that requires 4 wizards to complete and was scrapped due to being too difficult. Do you want a TFC and want to see?
It was likely changed because “Dr Von’s monster” is much easier to spell than “Katzenstein’s monster” when trying to communicate to the group in chat that you’re using the 9 pip death spell
Fun fact about the fizzle effects, death is the only school whose fizzle effect has a visual component too, that small dot in the center of the sigil will be completely opaque while when it's not fizzling will fade out Second regarding the Arcanum, I wanted to point out there's no teachers, they're scholars, folk dedicated to learning more about magic, and creating more not necessarily reaching or specifically saving the world
I remember watching that tournaments commercial when it aired! I'd completely forgotten it existed though. And about Cyrus only teaching spells up to Earthquake, I guess they must have used an older version of the character or something, because those were the only spells available to learn from him when I first played the game in 2009.
with the fizzling spell audio. Storm and Myth are quite easy to tell. also I've seen the tournaments commercial back then, but I wasnt into tournaments in 2013. back then I took part in the Lost Pages event when that debuted in 2013 and was trying to get to Azteca but was getting stuck at Avalon
You know what is a really good missed opportunity that I haven't seen any Wizard101 RUclipsrs do as of yet, we see many RUclipsrs do it for Star Wars and Harry Potter content. "What if..." videos!!! Exploring different ideas and could make plethora of content covering that premise
Hey Glad, I have a weird thing that happens to me on Wiz (with proof) So I’ve completed every quest in the game (main, side, gardening, crafting, fishing, and daily assignments). When I go to use Quest Finder in any world, it will almost always tell me there are no available quests. However, sometimes, it will prompt me to visit Merle Ambrose in the Commons. The quest marker doesn’t point to him, though. The quest finder will actually point me off world all the way to Celestia to a character named Thule Landshaper in District of the Stars. I can’t interact with him, and I have no idea why this happens sometimes. I can send you screenshots if you want
Hey! Awesome! Yes, I’d love to see a recording or screenshot if you have time. You can send it to me on Discord or Twitter (my links are in video description). Thanks! 😁
A similar bug to the last one was when they added the level 90 requirement for either the ring or the athame from the secret bosses in Aquila.. but I knew someone who had it equipped even though he was less than level 90
That’s awesome you’re saying that! I actually have tossed around the idea a lot, and I think I eventually will start making some pokemon vids! (But i still have a long list of wiz vids to make, so it wouldn’t be for a while!) 😄
I'm not sure if this has been covered or mentioned yet but if there's one Boss I like the most it would have to be Lady Black Hope because this was a character I grew up with along with Gloria from Old Town. Back when I first started playing in 2009 she was lost soul but green. By 2010 she would be given her own unique look. She would have a very creepy voice similar to Foulgaze but I think a few years later they would update it. I recently went back to playing the game and I'm surprised they made her Optional now. This might give balance an unfair advantage but if a wizard from that school was to beat her they would be given a permeant spell card version of herself. She's available as a treasure card in the bazar as well as some of the bosses from Krock.
the katzenstein's monster change seems like it might be because the text very slightly overhangs the card so they probably wanted to shorten it to avoid that
On the topic of retired pets, there's one I've always wanted to find evidence of but never managed to. Back in the early days of the pet update, KI dropped a whole bunch of new dropped pets and a video was made showing them all off and telling you where to find them all. Among them was a War Oni pet that gave the War Oni spell card. According to the video, Youkai was the one who dropped this pet, but I never found any evidence of the pet online, and the video itself seems to be deleted as well. If you could look into this I'd love to know that I wasn't crazy.
I remember the PvP commercial because I thought the IRL versions of the wizards looked cool and I was a PvPer myself so I thought it was neat of them to advertise PvP 😂
Just as I thought I knew everything, you've proven me wrong again! Only thing on this list I knew about, but had forgotten, was the Tournament animation!
Great vid, @12:43 This wasn't the original arena. OG's remember for years the arena was TINY and there were no NPC's fighting as we there was a barrier in the arena. Just search wizard101 original arena
Similar to the dragonspyre gear mentioned in this video, there is another very recent bug that has to do with the level 50 crafted pins from dragonspyre. when first added, they were bugged to where you could equip same school accuracy pins. They later fixed this, but my storm still has a gear set with storm accuracy pins on it.
Finding footage of an obscure decade-old exploit is so cool to see. Also I completely forgot about the tournament ad, it was wild to see it again. The guy playing the storm wizard looks like Jeremy Shada, but I can't find the casting listed anywhere so I might just be crazy. Either way, another great video, love the effort you put in big dawg
Woahhh! Great catch! That would be crazy if the voice actor for Finn was actually in a wiz commercial lmao! Too bad the casting’s not listed online anywhere. Guess that makes sense for such an obscure old TV commercial lol. Appreciate ya as always! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed 😎
Fitting that the footage shows an item called the Headdress of Refutation, as if the very piece of equipment is refuting the idea that that you couldn't do this.
If the spell looks different from an original cast i.e. the death spell, it fizzle, and it looks like there is a black dot inside. Better way of knowing is 2 things: one, if your mana pool depletes, or 2, if your spell shows smoke or steam.
Your point about mana isn't accurate. Mana still depletes even if you fizzle. The only time it doesn't deplete is if your spell doesn't attempt to cast because another spell finished the fight before it reached your turn.
I really love the way you present your videos. There were so many things here I didn't know like the gnome's ears being upside down or the cartoon network Pokémon thing! Good job Gladrocker! 🥺💙
Thank you so much again for your kind words. It really means a lot. I am so happy you are continuing to enjoy my content! Can’t wait for you to watch my future vids! 😄
I remember that pvp commercial, boy that unlocked a memory. I’m surprised most people don’t talk about it anymore, I definitely used to see it so much when it aired I could quote the live action bits
Also, I’m pretty sure they changed it from Katzenstein’s monster to Dr. von’s because the text was coming off the card! I still call it katzenztein’s, though. Also this is pointless since apparently on some players’ screens one of the wallaru spells has text coming off the card (difference in an ‘s)
That’s awesome you were able to quote the TV commercial! 🤣 And ooh great point! That makes a lot of sense. That’s strange they allowed it with the Wallaru spell though!
@@Gladrocker back in the day I also met someone who had a pet that was the original leprechaun. Not sure if it’s available now, but this was 2009 and she had it and I believe they were a beta tester. Or friends with the company
@@Gladrocker Moreover it wasn't even alpha or beta. It was there on release and for some time as well! I swear I remember questing on Khrysalis (final world back then) with that sound.
there used to be a visual glitch for fizzling when using a fire spell from your pet, (firezilla for example) the fire school sign would be sooooo bright everytime you fizzled
About the Cyrus Nightside thing, I noticed something else odd about Cyrus. While I was questing on my Myth skipping the pet quests he gives, if you go to Dragonspyre where he is, he will for some reason give you the Humongofrog pet quest there too. EDIT: Had to specify only Humongofrog
Is there any way you can record, or take a screenshot and send it to me on Twitter or Discord? my links should be in the video description. Only if you can though - no pressure at all if you don’t want to!
@@Gladrocker I'm in the Discord, I had asked in the social channel but should I just drop the video in self-promo or DM it? I had to upload it as an unlisted video since it was big but I have the video.
the cyrus in nightside is an older version of cyrus from before he taught those spells, the ones you highlighted were all added later on when they got spellement paths to allow other schools to use the spells
I remember the tournament commercial! I used to watch TV all the time as a child, and I remember always seeing that commercial on TV at my grandparents house!
Idk about hearing the fizzle but I do know about seeing it fizzle I can tell when I fizzle from how it looks not how it sounds it sounds the same to me
Great video, I've been playing this game for so long and its nice to see all these memories I had since I was a kid come back to me. Maybe your next videos can go over all the historical references or pop culture references w101 makes. I know Grizzleheim and aquila have a ton.
You can tell when a spell will fizzle when a Deckathalon event is going on if you use a treasure card. If the card fizzles you won’t get the point, if you don’t fizzle you’ll get the point right away. Also, if use an enchantment treasure card you’ll get the point when the spell you enchanted is played successfully instead of when you use the enchantment spell.
I remember the tournament Comercial because my sister and I saw it on TV when we were kids one of my favorites actually and the Dr. Vons monster I remember watched a old RUclips video on it about the spell i think a decade ago I was a rookie at the time before becoming a veteran wizard 10 years later thou I miss the old days when lvl 100 was still new I didn't get my max till the year 2015 Polaris era those were the days 😅😅😢
I’m jealous you got to watch the commercial on TV back when it aired! 😂 Wish i was able to see it on TV lol. That’s awesome you loved the dr. von’s monster spell! And i miss the old days too 😅
Honestly if they made wizard101 for console they could make it look just like the commercials and I think it would be more cool to play the game that way because you don’t see many card games for console
My cousin's old account had a storm beetle that i wanted to hatch with and we were so confused why i kept trying and getting a myth beetle as kids lmao.

On the death fizzle you can see a black orb inside of the death school symbol while casting
wow i never noticed that!
i feel like the sigil smokes a little at the start of the cast if its going to fizzle
I always knew this one and am all the more frustrated for it xD
Gladrocker, I’ve noticed for a long time when the fire spell will fizzle and it’s not only because of the audio. The flame when casting is coloured slightly more pale when fizzling
Great catch!
you can also tell when a death spell will fizzle, the center color becomes more of a darker circle when it is going to fizzle.
The only sign that i know im going to fizzle (for fire) is that when the flame particles go pale or dying out, but when successfully casted the flame particles give vibrant and bright firey-orangey flaming red.

Woah! Totally did not expect to be featured in this video! You rock, Gladrocker! :D
Hey, there you are! 😄 Was wondering if you’d get a chance to watch this haha. Glad you did! You rock as well! 🙌
goated
You can also tell when a spell's going to fizzle because there's a little bit of black particles that come off the symbol part way through the casting
good catch!
Thanks so much for watching everyone! You all rock! 😎🫶
Btw, I have an account that can access the Spiral Geographic Society gauntlet in Marleybone, the retired dungeon that requires 4 wizards to complete and was scrapped due to being too difficult. Do you want a TFC and want to see?
Awesome! I’ll let you know later on if I need to teleport in there for footage. Thanks for letting me know :)
Another weird whitelisted word in the game is "kombat" as in Mortal Kombat. And it was in the game long before badges referenced the series.
Oh cool! I gotta look into that 🤔
its part of a mob name, the kombat skorpion. hes with a boss named Hanzo who says “get over here” as well, it IS a MK reference
please don’t stop these wizard101 videos, i really enjoy them. ❤
I’m so glad you’re enjoying them! I appreciate you! 😁
This is the kind of content the community needs
🙏🙏
“Ravenwood professors or Arcanum professors?”
Intellectuals: “Pigswick academy professors”
LMFAO
It was likely changed because “Dr Von’s monster” is much easier to spell than “Katzenstein’s monster” when trying to communicate to the group in chat that you’re using the 9 pip death spell
good point lol
I just thought it looked bad on the card itself, too long of a name
Fun fact about the fizzle effects, death is the only school whose fizzle effect has a visual component too, that small dot in the center of the sigil will be completely opaque while when it's not fizzling will fade out
Second regarding the Arcanum, I wanted to point out there's no teachers, they're scholars, folk dedicated to learning more about magic, and creating more not necessarily reaching or specifically saving the world

yesss!! i knew about the audio difference for the spells!! i thought i was crazy because NOBODY believed me
I have known about that Bastion glitch for years. I just thought nobody would care about it. Thanks for covering it.
That’s awesome you were one of the only people who knew about it. Thanks for watching!
congrats on 10k, also with the fizzling you can tell by visual. For example fire has a yellower tint when its gonna fizzle.
Very good catch. Wish i mentioned that in the video. And Thank you!
with the fizzling spell audio. Storm and Myth are quite easy to tell. also I've seen the tournaments commercial back then, but I wasnt into tournaments in 2013. back then I took part in the Lost Pages event when that debuted in 2013 and was trying to get to Azteca but was getting stuck at Avalon

Death is the easiest it has a black hole in the middle
@@ethanjackson1824 I ran a death main and I did not know that
you can tell your death spells will fizzle if the black dot in the center spawns at the beginning rather than during cast
I actually found this Cyrus in Darkside bug on my Myth, of all things, and didn't think much of it because Myth's my school at the time.
ahaha what a coincidence

hey man, on the 5th segment of your 21:11 video I do in fact remember this wizard101 commercial, just letting you know
Awesome!! 😄
Yes! I love these videos. Perfect to watch while I'm eating dinner. I get to know more random stuff about Wizard101.
Hahah that’s the best time to watch it! 🍔
i have been saying for YEARS that i can tell when my fire wizard was going to fizzle and my kid was convinced i was losing it.
ahahahaha
12:04 I know for the spell sanctuary and the life damage bubble there’s a slight audio difference too
ooh interesting!
The death fizzle us the easiest to distinguish cause it will be a black dot in the center of the spell which indicates that its going to fizzle
ooh good to know!

Ooo great catch! I personally didn’t begin playing Wizard101 until 2011, so sadly i didn’t get to experience those really early moments.
Death is the easiest school to tell when you're about to fizzle, in my opinion! It has a large black dot that shows you're gonna fizzle.
i never noticed. very cool!
I have the first generation frostzilla from the Silver Sentinel :D glad you covered it!
i am JEALOUS!
Banger video as always, Glad!! You’re seriously one of my favorite creators on here
Thanks so much Lena!! 😁🙌 Appreciate you!
Lol love the once upon a time reference in the reference to a reference joke XD

I remember seeing the tournament commercial on TV and I was in awe. Whenever I think of w101 promos I think of the tournament commercial. 100% my fav.
The animation was so beautiful!
9:04 I COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS COMMERCIAL EXISTED OMG You just unlocked some deep rooted memories lmaoo
lmaoo yw 😂
The spells cyrus offers in the death school are all the original spells from before they added extra ones into the schools
good point!
I absolutely love your vids. They are thoughtful, well researched and put together professionally. Thx for what you do.
You’re very welcome! Appreciate you! 😄
It’s a good week when gladrocker uploads
Ayyee appreciate you 🙏
I remember all those commercials, I was so upset when you seen the commercials, then play the game and it wasn't the same
me too 😪
Thanks for getting me back into wiz gladrocker
don’t mention it 😉 hope you have fun!
Similar to the dragonspyre gear mentioned in this video, there is another very recent bug that has to do with the level 50 crafted pins from dragonspyre.
when first added, they were bugged to where you could equip same school accuracy pins. They later fixed this, but my storm still has a gear set with storm accuracy pins on it.
I’m so happy lol I watched ur vid the other week and I was like omg! he posted thanks for making my night!!!
haha perfect timing!! You’re welcome, enjoy! :)
My headcanon for fizzles are that the spell isn’t “in tune” with their tree, causing the spell to sound distorted until it just breaks!
ooo love this!
Finding footage of an obscure decade-old exploit is so cool to see. Also I completely forgot about the tournament ad, it was wild to see it again.

Good catch 😎👌

rip old pvp! 😢
Oh my goodness I watched the 4th commercial as a kid, I somehow completely forgot it existed until you mentioned it.
you’re not alone! i feel like everyone kinda forgot it existed 😂
Yeah you can also definitely see when your making the spell itself that it's going to fizzle
true!
Obscureeee! You delivered as always👏🏾👏🏾

@@Gladrocker Moreover it wasn't even alpha or beta. It was there on release and for some time as well! I swear I remember questing on Khrysalis (final world back then) with that sound.
ooo interesting!
there used to be a visual glitch for fizzling when using a fire spell from your pet, (firezilla for example) the fire school sign would be sooooo bright everytime you fizzled
Really? 😂 wish i could see footage of that
I actually saw the Tournaments commercial a few times on TV back in the day. Underreated fr
That’s awesome you saw it live when it aired on TV. i’m jealous 😂
About the Cyrus Nightside thing, I noticed something else odd about Cyrus. While I was questing on my Myth skipping the pet quests he gives, if you go to Dragonspyre where he is, he will for some reason give you the Humongofrog pet quest there too. EDIT: Had to specify only Humongofrog
really? that’s super interesting. def going to look more into this. thanks for letting me know!
@@Gladrocker Yea, I had logged on to double check and yea the Humongofrog pet quest when skipped can be accepted at dragonspyre.
Is there any way you can record, or take a screenshot and send it to me on Twitter or Discord? my links should be in the video description. Only if you can though - no pressure at all if you don’t want to!
@@Gladrocker Oh totally no problem, I can do that!
@@Gladrocker I'm in the Discord, I had asked in the social channel but should I just drop the video in self-promo or DM it? I had to upload it as an unlisted video since it was big but I have the video.
the cyrus in nightside is an older version of cyrus from before he taught those spells, the ones you highlighted were all added later on when they got spellement paths to allow other schools to use the spells
great catch!
I remember the tournament commercial! I used to watch TV all the time as a child, and I remember always seeing that commercial on TV at my grandparents house!
what an awesome memory! wish i got to see it back in the day hahah
Idk about hearing the fizzle but I do know about seeing it fizzle I can tell when I fizzle from how it looks not how it sounds it sounds the same to me
Youre doing amazing work man, late watch for me this time but awesome videos as always
thanks so much! 🙌
wooo new gladrocker! congrats on 10k!
thanks so much!! 😄🙌
Great video, I've been playing this game for so long and its nice to see all these memories I had since I was a kid come back to me. Maybe your next videos can go over all the historical references or pop culture references w101 makes. I know Grizzleheim and aquila have a ton.
Thank you! and that’s a great idea! gosh there’s so many pop culture references, i wouldn’t know where to begin 😂
this the only wiztuber who actually talks about brand new info/content
Thanks hahaha means a lot! 😎🙏
You can tell when a spell will fizzle when a Deckathalon event is going on if you use a treasure card. If the card fizzles you won’t get the point, if you don’t fizzle you’ll get the point right away. Also, if use an enchantment treasure card you’ll get the point when the spell you enchanted is played successfully instead of when you use the enchantment spell.
ooo love this information! thank you!
I wish they kept Katzenstein's Monster instead of Dr. Von's Monster i mean just cuz he's in jail doesn't mean he shouldn't get credit for it.
right! 😂
I actually knew the fizzle sound affect! And as a death main after a while I knew right away when I would fizzle or not!
oh cool! you really mastered the art of listening for those slight audio differences! i’m not great at it 😅😅
I remember the tournament Comercial because my sister and I saw it on TV when we were kids one of my favorites actually and the Dr. Vons monster I remember watched a old RUclips video on it about the spell i think a decade ago I was a rookie at the time before becoming a veteran wizard 10 years later thou I miss the old days when lvl 100 was still new I didn't get my max till the year 2015 Polaris era those were the days 😅😅😢
I’m jealous you got to watch the commercial on TV back when it aired! 😂 Wish i was able to see it on TV lol. That’s awesome you loved the dr. von’s monster spell! And i miss the old days too 😅
I still have the old frostzilla and he's still my favorite
my soul sung when i saw this new on my feed. thank you
you’re very welcome! 😁
I remember that Tourney Commercial!
😄
As a 2009 player, thank you for consistently making these videos. they warm the heart
you’re welcome :) glad you enjoy!
congrats on 10k subs Gladrocker, the icebergs always slapped bro
appreciate you bro 🙏
When fire is about the fizzle the color of the fire goes a bit lighter so it's rlly ez to tell
interesting - didn’t know that!
this channel is going to be an amazing source when servers go offline someday.
🙏🙏
In polish version of wiz we still have old name for dr von spell: katzensteim monster translated as potwór katzensteina :D
Very cool fact! 😁 Thanks for telling me!
Omg yes I used to be obsessed with the tournament commercial
awesome 😂
That 4th commercial was bada$$
💯
Honestly if they made wizard101 for console they could make it look just like the commercials and I think it would be more cool to play the game that way because you don’t see many card games for console
Good point!
My cousin's old account had a storm beetle that i wanted to hatch with and we were so confused why i kept trying and getting a myth beetle as kids lmao.
i have a level 20 myth thats wearing one of the level 45 hats from dragonsypre!
no wayyy that’s awesome!
Love these videos, hoping for more!!
Appreciate you, Sebastian! 🙏
