Wizard101's NEWEST Update Is Completely Changing Spellement Farming. 

What do yall think of the scales of knowledge?

As long as it's free, I'm good with it. Don't even make it cost gold, and DEFINITELY not crowns

I think this is a great update. Though I think they could do better by having specific enemies or bosses dropping a certain group of schools for spellements. I do wish they removed keys because I find it to be needlessly tedious, especially seeing as I'm casual player. I don't mind grinding in games, but there's a point where it becomes a job, and I don't like working for free. Either way, I've been wanting an update like this just for fun.

Just make the Spellements drop to everyone at every level It’s incredible how stupid these devs are

wow we get to grind 😍😍😍

Just an FYI with the scales of knowledge, For example if you use the scales of the knowledge in DS you can farm any boss in DS and still get drops you just need to activate the scales of knowledge first, also if you have any side quests you haven’t done one you apply the scales of knowledge you still get the spellment for the quest as well, im currently doing this on my max ice in DS and celestia is working great :)

Been waiting for this forever

Didn't they say arc 2 spellements would be farmable at any level? Did they really just mean this?

It’s stupid if it’s not school specific. If you already have to do the more arduous task of beating them normally as you would back then during questing, you should get spellements of only your school and not others. Anything else is just diluting your loot drops and pointless.

People are still going to have a high lvl carry the fight but at least now u don't actually have to make an azteca lvl new wizard to be able to get them on your own account so this is definitely a W. However, I don't really understand why they haven't released a recipe to transmute unwanted spellements into a universal spellement that u can apply to any spell. For example, 10 firecat spellements can be converted into 1 universal spellement that can contribute to your snowman spell or whatever. Literally every single game on the planet has such a system except for wiz. I have a gazillion spellements that I have no use for so they just collect dust in my inventory for no reason.

I dunno if he actually reads comments but he basically addressed what I was talking about before (and felt alone in thinking) about how punishing it feels to be a max level. That just because I'm maxed I have to have things made either arbitrarily harder or more tedious or the word I used grindy. He even addressed the fact they do it so much later down the line when as I mentioned most have already farmed it. I never really understood why though? I played the game I did the farming/crafting to get the gear I have. Things should be easier because I worked to get it. I took the time you wanted me to, to get it. And even then you still have to go in and out doing these fights repeatedly. As a side note, you really think people who make new characters are farming that world for spellements before they leave? They likely are running it through. And if they aren't they are likely a max who wants to keep that character in that world. About the test realm I tested this quit a bit and sent suggestions. The first test realm I was able to do the scaler and leave the dungeon to go farm any boss that drops (EDIT: Also said scaler should be in main area instead to make it easier). I put in though should let us know what spells we can use because I end up going to wiki. ultimately used drop spells because you can at any level. I also pointed out the lack of spiritual bosses in lower worlds compared to elemental. Another thing points out was it felt like 1 pip spellements even in krok were hard to even get in the drops plus you get very few dropped to begin with. Like dragonspyre think give 15? I was lucky I think to get 5 and none of them be 1 pips. (EDIT: I had also suggested adding bosses in wizard city that only drop 1 pip.) I also suggested upping the scaler cap because with the side stuff they added over the years (Wysteris/Grizzlehiem/Crab Alley etc) You can be up to 10 levels above what was originally intended for the worlds. Basically someone who makes a new character would have advantage over someone max using a scaler. Second test realm I didn't do as much. I noticed the scaler was made 2 hours. I think the scaler was broken though then. I was getting crit when I shouldn't and spellements weren't dropping. Now at first I thought they were just being mean and forcing us to one boss but then I tested it on the boss in question and it still didn't so hope that fixed without them making it so you can't activate scale and go farm a different boss.

Or they could just make it so everybody can farm the spellements at every level. Why make it harder? Its still a rinse and repeat of fighting the same boss regardless of your level now it just takes longer but hey at least high level wizards can farm them i guess

Since the level locking is tied to a potion effect, I'd imagine you could take the level locking outside the dungeon to the other spellement dropping bosses in arc 1 worlds (where you can get elemental or spiritual spellements). If that's how it works, it addresses the issue mentioned in the video but it's still strange to need to go to the final boss dungeon for each world instead of having a scale of knowledge next to each spellement-dropping boss. Overall it's nice to farm for spellements on my preferred wizard now so I'm pretty happy about this change

This still will be a grind especially for the 6 pip spells

The scales of knowledge could have (still might work) been a banger solution for when new players are questing in worlds that are all but deserted of players. Not sure about everyone else, but I would have definitely been down to just ride around as lvl 50 in celestia. Helping newer players questing w/o 1 shotting everything (thus making their experience boring and the fights trivial) would have definitely increased player retention. Team-up kiosk and these Scales should totally be combined in someway.

Now we need to get more control over what drops and the amount of spellments needed for max

@AwesomeTheSauce Is it still possible to still farm balance spellements as a level 72 balance wizard and currently questing in Avalon? Farming methods? I don't have a pet that can unlock pet elemental and/or spirit retriever talents. Please help! I am lost. Also is spellements worth doing now?

can someone explain how this affects pve? can i use bottom path (which often gives more dmg for some reason) in pve? whats the catch?

Let’s punish higher level wizards!

Where would we farm scarecrow? (Rank 7)

not bad actually I can just scale down my main account to get the spellements finally for it and then just use my alt account to hit and one round it.

If I scaled then still had a high level would I still get rewards?

I’m happy we at least got something to farm spellments. But this is honestly like a pity throw. Why can’t we just farm them normally?

So, does anyone know, if the dungeon in a higher world - like Xibalba - drops spellements for various levels up to Azteca, or do we have to grind each world for just one level spell? I hope, I explained this right😬

Im glad it something but i agree about how tedious, because it not guaranteed to get your spell compared doing that level quest cause your almost always guaranteed to get 1st tear doing quests. So it feels very time consuming and almost not worth farming unless im going up in levels getting the spell during quests. it also feels the same way for exclusive spellements that are stuck behind gold keys. I would rather farm lore master to get the spell or craft them back in the day. The game feels more complicated then needed, Esp if it targeted to kids....

4:30 Are you sure that there's only ONE place to farm for spellements in each world? Aren't the locations mentioned in the update notes just the locations where the scales of knowledge KIOSKS are? They could potentially spread out the spellements to different dungeons but only have one dungeon in each world (like the trial of spheres) that would allow you to access the scales of knowledge kiosk.

My actual level 100 character out gear these scaled down max level its kinda funny XD

Update is live Sauce

Honestly just get rid of spellements, theres too many damn spells.

W update holy shit this is such a big deal for those who waited for this option

Does the Jade Onion drop all Rank 1-6 Spellements?

I can understand scaling down damage and health and what not but also scaling accuracy seems just dumb

Is this in live realm?

lets be honest everyone is just gonna keep farming them like we have been

I love this idea, lore spells are going to be busted for the lower level ones

I honestly don’t know why they just didn’t scale the bosses to the wizards level it would make a lot more sense instead of leveling down your wizard. Honestly they should have done something similar to what they did with the rematches fight like rattlebones.

Or just remove the restriction period

Or just make spellements drop at any level? lol

Not going to be harder, just get another max to farm with you and not use the scale. They won't get them but yo will.

The new update has dropped and I gotta say it’s the best Spring update we’ve had since 2021.

Not even related to spellements, I hope that at some point we have scales that apply to an entire world. Like if I wanna go into Krokotopia and be level 20 anywhere in the world, I'd like to just be able to activate a scale in the Oasis or something. It's a nice way to get a low level PvE experience without having to make a new wizard.

Oh, I can tell ya there’s an all star around, racers! Ron for your lives! An all star has been triggered!

Annnnnnnnnd its already being abused
