I’d consider myself that old generation, did blaze go somewhere? I know zenmasterblue quit to go to doctor school essentially, and I remember blaze drama regarding Tara (and him getting bored)
Ah sorry for second comment. I love wintertusk crafted gear, since if you get tired of farming for a certain piece of waterwork or zigzag gear you can just sub any piece in and move on. Its why i love khysallis gear since you can just sub the gear that you arent getting dropped in darkmoor and move on in the game.
I love how you put perfectly all the IMPORTANT milestone gears, From lvl 30 Zues to Aeon currently(For someone wondering the milestones Gear are all in the S Tier section). Nice work dude Hope we Will see more from u
this is a pleasant surprise seeing u upload. I've been binging your videos the past few days. I gotta say you're super eloquent and awesome to listen too. You definitely have a special talent there
KI needs to send you a paycheck how your keeping the information in the community more in depth and experienced than the wiki and website at this point
Thanks for the info on the Khrysalis wand. I find the Khrysalis ice wand to be a good bit better than the Darkmoor wand due to the added 15%-20% damage.
Honestly agreed khyrsallis gearset is slept on, love the fact you included it as an alternative gear. I agree with most of your takes, though I would say if final fight for novus didnt take forever to farm, merciless gear wouldnt be a contender. Like if it was easy to farm, hands down aeon gear is what I would reccomend for everyone since it allows offschooling/ second damage type of any school with almost more then merciless gear stats. edit this means non deaths can socket death pins and change all of the damage to death and spam ship of fools for health when needed.
I’ve made multiple maxes however idk if everyone would agree with me, I always do 1 run of olympus for the exp and that’s it, then (I highly recommend this if you plan on making multiple chars or just want crafting) winter tusk crafted gear saves the time of having to deal with shit waterworks droprates. I don’t do any of the other Aquila dungeons and skip to darkmoor, then I get 125 for cabalist and skip catacombs since aeon gear is extremely easy to farm (at least the final dungeon) as well as dropping pierce jewels you’ll be able to farm the rest of aeon with the added pierce and resist. I did catacombs for my first 2 chars but realized it’s basically useless unless your soloing on a hard school with no good pet
Celestia gear is easy to get and at 4 items, you get monstrous. Depending on how early you get it, its completely insane. Compared to the 100 at 50. The extra 75 base damage is more helpful than people realize. Imo its a C. The oddball part of it is that 56 and 58 you get your glass cannon gear which is better
great list as always, only thing for me is i would put KL village a lil higher cuz i’m leveling a balance atm, and having that amulet with a feint at level 25 was super broken and carried me thru arc 1 very easily on solo
I just recently been getting into wizard 101. You’re videos are very helpful and I have used you’re share knowledge to help players who are just as new.
Agree with pretty much everything here except for the dragoon part. I wouldn't say it's not worth farming but you definitely don't need it if you already have darkmoor. But fires should definitely farm it for the amulet imo.
I would agree with that. I took the time and effort to grind for Dragoon gear, and it wasn't too bad (at least for me), plus I think the upgrade from the Darkmoor gear is enough to the point where it seems worth it. Once again, this is my personal opinion, and feel free to dispute
Was playing wiz after taking a break for a few months and was looking for recommendations for gear and i have to say youre channel its always informative.
Hey man it's not lazy, the game has nothing going for it with pve for the past 5 years. Good to see you back I used wt crafting on ice with a heal spam maycast pet into mirage? The level 130 world, what ever name was. Was to lazy to farm. Just gave to im my merciless gear.
This video made me subscribe. So glad to hear a voice of reason on gear. My death wizard is still using the crafted Khrysalis robe and heavily jeweled athame at level 150 (along with alpha/omega ring, and Cabalist hat and boots from the bazaar). There are alternatives for those who don't like to grind for gear.
I would really only recommend farming catacombs if you have a crafting wizard and just getting the vanguard boots, the enchant card is kinda nice tbh and its a good stat upgrade but farming is such a pain
Honestly the most annoying thing about the krok or rattlebones exalted duels is you cant just farm it over and over. You have to spend time farming for the actual housing item just to have a CHANCE to get the single drop you want. So basically farming with extra un-needed steps.
Thanks for the vid man! I’ve been struggling recently to find and understand what gear will make my balance wizard do more damage and this video has really helped with that! Appreciate man 🙏
Ive farmed and gotten the darkmoor set for my storm and have been using it up to lemuria soloing. Wanted to farm dragoon gear but your right. It takes too long and most of it is actually worse than darkmoor being you lose so much power pip chance and accuracy. Hoping to get and start farming for the merciless gear
Imma be honest, My Death and Balance already got Darkmoor/Rattlebones gear, It looks like I don't need to farm for anything till Merciless Gear, idk anything in arc 3 or 4 of the game, since like 2015 I haven't played any world past Polaris, I just kept making new wizards but I finally got my Balance to Arc 3. So Im excited to reach Level 160.
This Thursday I'm getting my laptop I been Watchung you so often on new player tips now I know waterworks is a must for my myth thank you for guiding me to help this soon to be new myth player
With the merciless gear, storm can have max accuracy without the need of the Darkmoor robe. I have almost all merciless on my storm, and I prefer to have more damage, pierce, and resist with a decrease in accuracy. I wouldn't have made the trade to the merciless robe if I couldn't get max accuracy.
In regard to the Dragonspyre world gear, some of the wands are actually better for some wizards as opposed to the Sky Iron Hasta. Balance, for example, while it may not get a damage increase from the Sky Iron Hasta, it does get pierce which starts to help against Balance resisting enemies in Celestia and beyond. Storm, Death, Myth, and Fire all get anywhere from 1-3% extra damage over the Hasta, whereas Life and Ice get reduced damage. So I do see farming Malistaire as a necessary evil if going for Min-max loadouts but I do agree with you that farming Dragonspyre world gear is not necessary for a more casual playthrough.
Honestly ur right about the alternative gears. It feels like so often people are very much this one way is the right way and honestly thats not the case lol
I would love to farm out gearsets on my 170s to make leveling my others a little less of a headache, but ever since KI added the badge lockout system...I just haven't played on my lower levels at all. And I just really don't wanna farm things like Waterworks and Darkmoor anymore, especially at level. Crafted gear could've been a good alternative but they really need to adjust some of these crafting recipes for the end of world gear that aren't the current end world. Like, I should NOT have to farm bosses to get 9 drops of a robe to craft the better version when it's not even endgame anymore. Maybe knock it down to needing 3 per recipe.
only bad opinion was the Krok and Rattlebones opinion. For most schools, Darkmoor is not even worth doing. Death, Ice, Balance, and Life, just to name a few, are better than Darkmoor, along with using professor's hoarde pack boots. A lot quicker too.
The Celestia gear is trash and I just finished Celestia and most of the gear ends up in my backpack and it’s annoying because it gives you nothing good
I mean, you don't NEED to farm anything, but that doesnt mean its a gearset that isn't worth farming. Waterworks is easily usable for 40 levels, potentially even 60-80 if you are a good player.
Got all my darkmoor gear finally 🥰 Btw video idea: Make a new Wizard on a budget aka without using any crown items BUT if you die even once you have to delete the character and start over Doesn't have to be a full blown let's play but heavily cut down / edited vids
winter tusk crafted gear is amazing I maxed a death wizard and crafted the full ice and myth set for my other wizards speeds the process a lot you basically don't have to farm if you got a high wizard
So as far as I'm aware, the new Hall of Heroes fight has been changed, the easy version is dropping next to nothing, and the hard version was made harder by adding PvP rules for some godawful reason. So I'd definitely put Merciless down to at least A. Apart from that (and I still think Dragoon is C), I agree with the list
I think that depending on the schhol dragoon gear is very beneficial epscially for life, ice and balance. Storm and fire have the stats to survive until 150 to keep darkmoor gear. For death and myth its 50/50
DIsagree hard. The stats are very beneficial, yes, but going out of your way to farm a MINIMUM of 10+ hours for gear instead of questing and getting to the next gearset just isn't worth it.
Id argue against your take on krokopatra hat and rattlebones robes. They are comparable and for some schools outright (although marginally) better than darkmoor. The krokopatra exalted boss is insanely easy, even soloable, but the exalted duels themselves can be tedious to acquire. The rattlebones exalted duels are insanely easy to farm (a dozen in half an hour) and yeah the exalted boss fight is much harder than krokopatra but even with only two on-level wizards it should still not take any longer than a fully queued darkmoor run
Didn’t include pack gear since in almost no case is it worth it. As I mentioned at the beginning, I didn’t consider raid gear since most players won’t go for it considering how few general players do raids.
not sure how much you've played of the new update, but the fractal aeon robe is 100% better than the storm darkmoor robe. the darkmoor robe has finally ended its 9 year rein over the best storm robe lol.
The only gear id get at barkingham is the atheme and ring, they give decent pip chance, health and some school specific damage, other than that just use bazaar gear
Only just getting the senator in mount olympus is good enough and only takes like 2-5 runs top or 1 day to get forget Zeus which is harder to get Then with Dragoon I’m only there for amulet For darkmor I just do one shot gauntlets with rattle ones and krok to save time
im still in the kinda early game at lvl 40 but mount olympus gear is great, i was stupid and teamed up for atlantea and yeah i got carried but since i cattered to more support it went pretty ok and the gear lvl drop for me was like 70+
Imma be honest it's ridiculous that a non paid wand like Sky Iron hasta is the best wand for like nearly 100 levels straight or viable, I love updated my gear or using new wands so I don't mind using different wands unless its way way worse, but I have paid crowns wands so thats why I never used Sky iron too much, but I have it
@@KaiserNoah thx again for making the guide, help me and my friend know what to do for lvl 60 gear. zigzag body was bit of a pain but so worth for my storm friend
I wouldnt say its trash. Its still quite good actually. The reason why its so low on this list is because it isnt worth the effort to farm it. If you already have it though youre good.
The old generation had blazelifehammer, and etc… this new generation we have you! Keep posting!
I’d consider myself that old generation, did blaze go somewhere? I know zenmasterblue quit to go to doctor school essentially, and I remember blaze drama regarding Tara (and him getting bored)

Life I guess
I spent 10 hours farming that dang Dragoon gear back in 2020 and will not be farming up a new set until I stop killing things in 2 rounds.
The man, the myth, the legend, has finally…returned!
My myth name is James Ledgend, so every time I hit play on him, I say it's the man, the myth, the Ledgend haha

Just got back into the game after almost a decade, and your videos have been helping me immensely keep the content please
How far in are you so far?
You're still playing???
ME TOO NELSON!! I just got back in from retiring in 2014!
Ah sorry for second comment. I love wintertusk crafted gear, since if you get tired of farming for a certain piece of waterwork or zigzag gear you can just sub any piece in and move on. Its why i love khysallis gear since you can just sub the gear that you arent getting dropped in darkmoor and move on in the game.
having my wizard 101 two month hyper fixation and your vids are helping alot! you do great work man :D
I love how you put perfectly all the IMPORTANT milestone gears, From lvl 30 Zues to Aeon currently(For someone wondering the milestones Gear are all in the S Tier section). Nice work dude Hope we Will see more from u

So happy to see you're back i just got back into the game and you haven't uploaded since puts a smile on my face seeing you return back to wiz content
Honestly agreed khyrsallis gearset is slept on, love the fact you included it as an alternative gear.

hey where can I find the khyrsallis gear? I haven't heard of it before
Whoever made the Krok set drop from everything AND unable to sell should be put on trial for torture
I’ve made multiple maxes however idk if everyone would agree with me, I always do 1 run of olympus for the exp and that’s it, then (I highly recommend this if you plan on making multiple chars or just want crafting) winter tusk crafted gear saves the time of having to deal with shit waterworks droprates.

In regard to the Dragonspyre world gear, some of the wands are actually better for some wizards as opposed to the Sky Iron Hasta.
Balance, for example, while it may not get a damage increase from the Sky Iron Hasta, it does get pierce which starts to help against Balance resisting enemies in Celestia and beyond.

So I do see farming Malistaire as a necessary evil if going for Min-max loadouts but I do agree with you that farming Dragonspyre world gear is not necessary for a more casual playthrough.
I got the zigazag robes by rolling the second chance chest three times. I was so happy lmao
Great video! I reccomend putting level 50 malistare gear because honestly it’s a really good boost before waterworks.
Waterworks and Darkmoor high tier
Honestly ur right about the alternative gears. It feels like so often people are very much this one way is the right way and honestly thats not the case lol
Also miss you doing contents bro, love you vibes.
Thanks for all your great help man
Winter babe used to be OP back when I stopped playing.

I like the Sacred Lifesong & Grand Admiral Gear Sets
am i the only person who never has needed to farm waterworks? i feel gaslit that everyone loves it 😭
I mean, you don't NEED to farm anything, but that doesnt mean its a gearset that isn't worth farming. Waterworks is easily usable for 40 levels, potentially even 60-80 if you are a good player.

I make new wizards specifically so I can grind to get celestial totality full set, then start over on a new one. It's the best gear in game
rare kaiser upload
What i did was farm until i could get Vanguard gear from catacombs (half the requirements) and just skipped dragoon and merciless into Aeon.

this is a w for storm wizards everywhere
One gear set you forgot was paradox gear, I know is not the best but I do see some people run it
I did think about that but it would honestly be like F tier by default. Not worth farming at all in the current meta.
@@KaiserNoah true, I think the only decent piece is the deck
Def just depends on the school, my storm full zigzag no waterworks but my ice waterworks to lvl 100 for pack gear
Darkmoor boots are good just low hp, they give the most damage and really good block
The only gear id get at barkingham is the atheme and ring, they give decent pip chance, health and some school specific damage, other than that just use bazaar gear
Only just getting the senator in mount olympus is good enough and only takes like 2-5 runs top or 1 day to get forget Zeus which is harder to get
Then with Dragoon I’m only there for amulet
For darkmor I just do one shot gauntlets with rattle ones and krok to save time
Watching this after spending a week getting dragoon gear ._.
Hey, if you have it then its not like its BAD. Itll carry you up to aeon fine.
KL Village does have the red panda balance pet which is pretty decent
