KingsIsle :
Round Rock, Texas (November 13, 2024) — Renowned MMO publisher KingsIsle Entertainment is launching a mammoth-sized update today for its most magical title, Wizard101. The Selenopolis Update modernizes the look and feel of the Egyptian-inspired realm, Krokotopia, introduces new questlines and tutorials, offers new gameplay possibilities with Magic Weaving and Spell Fusion, which transforms your magic into new and powerful spell combinations, and much more.
One of the first things Wizards might notice is that the areas of Firecat Alley, Cyclops Lane, and the Oasis have been added to the free-to-play experience for all Wizards with this update for a limited time.
Following the Wizard City revamp, Krokotopia has received a graphical overhaul to modernize the look and sound of the classic area. Among these upgrades, familiar creatures and monsters have been given a fresh look and updated animations. In the city of Selenopolis, you will embark on a new chain of mainline quests that will be triggered after the completion of the Dragonspyre storyline. These quests include formal tutorials for Archmastery and the Magic Wheel and will guide players seamlessly from DragonSpyre to Celestia. From there, Selenopolis and the Blended Grove are your hubs for Magic Weaving.
Magic Weaving is a new activity where you can select a second school to be your “Weaving School” and rank up to earn rewards for unique school combinations. Ranking up is accomplished by taking on Weaving Quests and completing Badge Quest Goals. To begin Magic Weaving, you must first defeat Malistaire in Dragonspyre, and then Ambrose will send you back to class to learn about Archmastery, the Magic Wheel, and Magic Weaving! If you have already completed Dragonspyre, Ambrose will meet you in his office to fill you in.
Combat is more exciting than ever with the addition of Spell Fusion, a new system where cards can combine to create powerful spells. Learn Fusion Formulas from trainers, train in them to master them, and then unleash powerful fusions in combat!
The Selenopolis update also includes quality of life updates to the Bazaar, the backpack, and the Crown Shop, new Beastmoon forms, like Storm Fairy, Myth Elf, and Life Ninja Pig, and a number of other bug fixes and changes. Read the full update details here.
