Mastery Amulet Drop Guide


Mastery Amulets: tool of the PvP wizard, loophole to the power pip for your school-only rule, flashy neck bling. Whatever you refer to it as, your probably want one. So, what is a Mastery Amulet? How does it work?

A Mastery Amulet allows you to use power pips for the school the amulet is for. This means if you are Fire, and you are wearing the Ice mastery amulet, you can use your 4 power pips for the 8 pip spell Snow Angel. Here's the catch: Ice wizards can't use the Ice mastery amulet. You can't use your school's own mastery amulet, but you can use all the other school amulets.

Now, for the measly price of 9,950 crowns, this power is all yours! Don't have 9,950 crowns? No problem! It can be yours for free, with the simple task of farming the bosses below!

Remember, crowns gear drops are (very) rare. Don't be discouraged if you don't get it in a few tries. It could take a while before you get it. You could even end up getting a different mastery amulet! Try to take breaks when farming for anything, as it usually gets frustrating!

The Lore of the Runes

Story by Ymir
Retold by Cheyenne Caster




Long before, in the times of old, when Ravens ruled the sky and wolves ruled the night, the great King Hragar taught all he knew to Eorl. Eorl later became king. Before this, King Hragar fought with Konur, a young rune-reader. Konur won the battle.

Konur soon mastered the magic and power of the runes. Runes can break sorrow, bind wounds, break chains, and stop arrows in flight. Runes can reverse a curse on the caster and calm the angriest of hearts. They can strengthen allies and make the dead speak.

Konur used the runes for good. The mother of the grendels sought safety for her child. She visited the spider queen, requesting her protection. The spider queen took a vow she couldn't keep, leaving the grendels defenseless. This caused the grendels to grow evil within their kin, spreading through out the land and terrorizing the tribes. Konur harnessed the runes and banished the grendels to the depths of Jotunheim.

As Konur wandered throughout the land, doing good by the power of the runes, the grendels grew stronger and angrier. With Konur's attention drawn elsewhere, the grendels escaped to Nidavellir.

Konur's enemies grew stronger and his powers grew weaker. Finally, he was overwhelmed by his enemies. The great hero's powers finally vanished, leaving him vulnerable to the creatures of Grizzleheim. The grendels finally left Nidavellir, spilling out into the land. Konur could not control the grendels running amok, and was quickly captured. 

The grendels instilled hatred and violence into Konur. The once great Konur was corrupted and unleashed upon the tribes. Konur reeked chaos between the tribes, often relaying the blame on a tribe. Division soon formed, each tribe being untrustworthy. The land became divided.

Today the runes are a stark reminder of a better time. They tell the tale of the noblest of Grizzleheim's heroes.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Sword of Summer

Hallo wizards! Hallo is Norwegian for Hello. This post has nothing to do with Wizard101. Well, maybe a little bit. Anyways, I'm an avid reader. I read all types of books at different reading levels, mainly ones that are above my age. There is, however, one author that I will always read no matter how old I am... that author is Rick Riordan.

I'm positive almost everyone knows about my "slight" obsession with Norse Mythology. Well, isn't it convenient that my good friend Rick decided to write a series on one of my favorite topics? 


I'm literally getting it tomorrow. So much hype! I'm not just writing about it because I think its cool, I honestly would like to get everyone to read this. If you are at all fascinated by Grizzleheim, this book will help you gain an understanding of the close relationship between Norse Mythology and Grizzleheim. You'll end up learning it in a fun way that will stick with you for a long time. 

The story is centered around Magnus Chase, who happens to be Annabeth Chase's cousin. (Percy Jackson and the Olymians, The Heroes of Olympus) Apparently Asgard is in serious danger and as always, the gods need a hero. You can read a better summary here. 

The official release day is October 6th, 2015.
Want to learn more about Rick Riordan? Check out his website here. 

Anyone want to make a book club from this? (Wizards Book Club) Or just a reading circle for this specific book?

P.S. I do not support all the new Norse Mythology bandwagoners. I strongly dislike you because I was the original fan! :)

Polaris Gear

Polaris  
After the extra confirmation from KingsIsle, we now know with out the slightest bit of doubt that the next world is Polaris! Polaris is an icy, French/Russian world first seen in Pirate101. If you want to read more, Check out Frostcaller's Article on Polaris. For my contribution to the Polaris discussion, I've been asked to discuss possible gear designs for Polaris.

Polarian Gear
Wizard101 is known to base every world and every aspect off of real life counterparts. I think what we can expect is a lot of common clothing of the average and noble people of France, Russia, and possibly neighboring countries during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte. (1769-1821)
Us girls in beautiful dresses fighting blood-thirsty penguins? I think yes!

Imagine the stats on something like this!?

"Nice sword! Where did you get that?" -Average Noob

'Cause baby its cold... out... side!

Honestly, I think our wizards will be wearing something similar to this. Its definitely going to have a lot of coats, hats, and boots. Perhaps the high-stat gear may look like a general/military uniform? Maybe we will once again have sword wands? Maybe icicle weapons or even a globus cruciger. Just look that up if you don't know what it is. We do have a version of it dropped in the four dungeons. (I believe)

What other gear do you think we'll see in Polaris? What do you think they'll be called?

Polaris 

Even though most of us knew, Wizard101 officially confirmed that our next world is Polaris! First mentioned in Pirate101, this icy world is based off of Russia. Intelligent penguins with a possible past time of fishing inhabit the land. 

I can't wait to see what this world brings and the new level cap.
