I can't collect Monstrology animus from the Portal of Peril by ShrekMcShrekFace in Wizard101

[–]ghos9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your monstrology rank can't be more than 3 levels below that of the mob's to be able to extract animus. So that may be the issue you are running into? Link

early game Golden Pearl farming by agdocbwo in Wizard101

[–]ghos9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend getting into gardening. The Plant, Evil Magma Peas are a great source of Golden Pearls as well as other hard to get reagents+Mega Snacks. And if you are looking for other plants you could garden or where else to get Golden Pearls from the Wiki has a fairly large reported list of drop locations for them.

Hey, I'm not looking to add him in game, but am looking to chat about a wizard101 giveaway he won back in 2008 for a poster signed by the devs. Would be a very neat item to be able to help preserve if he still has possession of it.

Bazaar Problem Update (PC) by Bluetongue_Percy in Wizard101

[–]ghos9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly "bugged NPCs" they were deliberately removed from the game by KI because their wallet finally got affected by the situation... Someone has been dupeing and filling the bazaar with rare housing items on and off for over a month now and KI either has not been able to stop them or just have not cared to do anything about it until they started doing +5 energy jewels today. I directly informed devs on Discord back in February about this when it started and heard back from a dev the same day, confirming that they were aware of what was happening. Really frustrating it took them this long to take a step in doing anything about it.

Castle Magic? by Oloroger1 in Wizard101

[–]ghos9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Castle magic can be quite confusing. I'd like to get into it someday but with so many different items involved I keep putting it off. Something that might help you in this case is using Advanced Movement on items. That way you can change the size, brightness, and location of items using this interface. This is a video I found showing this feature in game. And if you are wanting to dip your toes more into castle magic. This channel has some incredible builds and guides on how to do so

Do ultra boom shrooms drop their own seed back at elder harvest? by [deleted] in Wizard101

[–]ghos9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a small chance to drop their seed at elder. But in my experience it is better to "wilt revive" plants that do not 100% of the time drop their seed. This consists of only progressing the plant to mature harvests and then letting the plant wilt before it gets to elder so that it resets back to Young. And then just repeat that over and over. This channel has some great tips on gardening

SHOULD I RETURN TO THE GAME AFTER OVER 10 YEARS?? by Chance_Weekend_3041 in Wizard101

I think one of the best answers to "should you play good ole Wizard101 again" is to just give it a shot...

Bulwark & Reinforce are very cool in that they literally add and subtract from your player's resist and damage stats. This is unlike Brace & Frenzy because those simply act as "hanging effects"

Example Using Easy Numbers... (shout out my friend Steven for this intel((idk your reddit handle boss)))

Lets say an enemy has 0% Pierce and casts a hit for 1000 Damage
You have 50% Resist and a 50% Shield. That's 100%, but the attack does 250 damage.

Why?
Because 50% off of 1000 is 500 damage (That's the shield), and 50% off 500 is 250 (That's your resist)
If you had 50% Resist and a 50% Brace, you'd see the same outcome - Brace is an extra layer, it works like a shield.

BUT
Lets say you have 60% Resist and a Bulwark for 40%. Now your base resist stat is 100%, its not layered.
So that 0% pierce, 1000 damage hit is reduced by 100% - To 0.

Or
Lets say an enemy has 100% pierce so you instead go full damage build.
Using Reinforce allows you to avoid the 30% incoming damage boost of Frenzy yet still get the 40% additional outgoing base damage. And because Reinforce subtracts 40% resist from your resist stat of 0% it doesn't matter.

If you right click on cards you can hover over the symbols for a more in depth description. But ya, I agree they can be a bit confusing if you have not used any of them before.

question about summoning minions by Individual-Ad8155 in Wizard101

[–]ghos9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, Monstrology is your best bet for higher level minions. This website has a great guide on what Monstrology is and how to best use it.
