- Spring 2020 test realm brought some major changes to the pet system. Two of them are an introduction of a new pet stat, talent tokens, and pet happiness. The former is needed to unlock new adventure and combat talents, which you can find here. The latter is required to actually use these talents in game.
- Wizard 101: One Week Test Realm Overview. Wizard101 has come out with a surprise one week test realm to introduce updates to the Beastmoon Hunt and team up. Let’s take a look at what’s new! Two New Beastforms.
- Go to Configure at the top and select 'Install Software'. In 'Select a application to install' find 'Other application' this option is for software not listed as 'Supported Applications' like our test realm. Now click on 'Select an Installer' and find the Test Realm exe file you downloaded and click on it.
Wizard101 Spring 2020. Test Realm Teasers. The snow melted, the sun is shining brighter and the flowers blooming more than ever. All this can only mean one thing, Spring started and that means we are soon getting the first update for the year of 2020. If you kept a close eye on what has been going on in the community, you will have noticed a.
Here we are again, time for one of the most exciting “events” of the year! That’s right, test realm has gone live! This is our time, as members, to see what is coming up in the Spiral and be a part of bringing the updates to live realm. With our help, KI can polish up a new addition to the Spiral. If you’ve never tried test realm, I highly recommend you download it and give it a try!

The last remaining part of Wizard City to be renovated was Crab Alley. Well, with this test realm, they have finished it! It still follows the lead from Triton Avenue in regards to “storminess”, but has a much deeper and richer texture than ever before. As with the rest of Wizard City, the creatures are more enhanced with better details. Well done KI! This entire revamping has been an amazing additon to the game.
The Photomancy advisor, Annie Shutterbug, is no longer hanging out by the Library. She can now be found in Golem Court, where our next NPC used to be.
The Registrar, Mr Lincoln will now be located in Ravenwood. Quite appropriate as you will see next in this article.
We now have a Resident Advisor for new incoming wizards, named Abby K. Doodle. She’s a wonderful young lady that escorts you around Wizard City, introducing you to the many fun activities available to enjoy. She also makes sure to introduce you to the main NPC’s you need to know of. This is a wonderful addition that will definitely make things easier for new Wizards.
We meet Abby K. Doodle in Merle Ambroses office, and she invites us to come along with her on a tour of Wizard City. We start in the Commons, where we are introduced to Lucky Hookline, Zeke, and Eloise Merryweather. They, in turn, explain what they have to offer for game play.
After that, she takes us to Golem Court, where we meet Annie Shutterbug and Farley and find out what ways they can help us on our journey.
She doesn’t stop there, though. Next, we head on over to the Shopping District, where Abby tells us about all of the different shops there and the types of items they carry. We, at last, end up in Olde Town where we learn about the Bazaar and meet Elik Silverfist. Eudora Tangletree says hello as well, and introduces you to the idea of crafting in Wizard101.
Wizards will receive a badge for going on the tour with her, but it is currently un-named in test realm as of publish.
Another great change for new Wizards is the way you get to meet the Professors for the first time. After completing Unicorn Way, Merle Ambrose sends you to Mr. Lincoln at Ravenwood to register. Surprise, surprise, all the Professors are right there! They stand together to welcome you to the Spiral. They take turns introducing themselves, then your school Professor teleports you to the school. Cool, huh?!
So much easier than having to run to each school to meet them!
Harold Argleston, the Librarian, has added some extra spells to his inventory. No, sorry, not new spells, but ones that can be hard to find. The cards that have been added are: Balance Blade, Nature’s Wrath, Sandstorm, Blizzard, Stormzilla, Hex, and each school’s Traps.
They have changed up the Quick Sell process and you can now sell your pets and crown items for gold! I love this, as I dislike having to just trash items or pets that I do not want or need when I don’t have the time to go all the way to the Shopping District to sell them. The Quick Sell button has moved and is now located on the lower left hand side of your tome. Because of the ability to actually sell a Crowns item, they have implemented an extra “Are you sure you want to sell these items”, verification. This helps us to make sure we aren’t accidentally selling something we truly want or need.
One last little thing, before finishing this off. I noticed while starting off with a new Wizard, that there was a new healing spell attached to the wand that Merle Ambrose gave me. I personally have never seen it before. It was called “Heartbeat”. A 1 pip spell that delivers 245 health. I do not know whether it is a new spell they are adding in but it seems that way.
That concludes this walk through of the new updates coming that are on Test Realm right now. What do you think of the new changes? Let us know your thoughts on these fabulous changes coming to Wizard 101!
Have you had the chance to check out the Beastmoon Hunt Forms introduced with the Spring 2021 Test Realm! Today, we’ll be talking about the two newest forms to grace the arena! They are the Myth Ninja Pig and Life Minotaur. All of these forms will be useable in both the Beastmoon Hunt and Beastmoon Monster Mayhem.
Myth Ninja Pig
The first Form to join us is the Myth Ninja Pig: Infamous Inoshishi. With a solid 475 HP stat, this piggy has the highest life in the Ninja Pig Family. It is tied for Myth Draconian for the highest life in the Myth Beastmoon Hunt Forms. Much like its pig brethren, it has a 10% speed boost. It is able to hold up to one additional pip.
Inoshishi has a particular proclivity for manipulating hanging effects. It is able to get rid of debuffs in return for doing more damage to an opponent. Much like Myth Rat and Myth Draconian, it is able to push traps away from itself and to its opponents. Like its Myth Minotaur cousin, it can steal a ward and then whack its enemy. It also has some of the most sustainable damage output of all the Myth Monsters. Its deck is mainly made of one pip and two pip hits. Tie this with the Myth Draconian and you will have a steady stream of strong hits slamming your opponents.
The most unique part of this Form is the minion. While all Myth Forms have minions, Inoshishi’s is unique. From what I can tell, it has the ability to trap opponents! While most of the time players don’t blink twice at a minion, this will force the team to focus on taking the minion out before anyone else. This buys players those extra pips to take down enemies. The thing I love about this form, compared to Death and Fire, is that it does not need to rely on DOTs. It can simply hit again and again while also taking a few hits. This is definitely a Beastmoon Form I’m going to unlock as quickly as possible and level up.

Life Minotaur
The final addition to the Beastmoon Hunt is Tauryn Grazaur, the Life Minotaur (don’t you just love how it rhymes?) Tauryn is the newest healer to be added to Beastmoon Hunt. Out of all the Minotaurs, this one has the most health, 450 HP. Like its brethren, it can hold up to one extra pip. Much like the Life Colossus, Tauryn was built to be a tank and healer. It has more healing options than Life Colossus, does more damage than Life Draconian, and has more life than Life Fairy. An interesting note is that many of Tauryn’s heals have additional benefits in the presence of blades. This makes him the perfect pair to Storm Wolf or Storm Krok.
If you want to be a hitter and a healer, this minotaur is perfect for you. You’re able to keep your team alive while also dealing some solid life damage. During the spirit Beastmoon Hunt, if you’re going to pick a Life Form, I’d definitely pick this. While this is the perfect Life monster, the greatest downfall it has is the other Minotaur forms available. Both the Myth and Fire Forms deal more damage. When push comes to shove, I am more likely to pick the Myth Form over Life any day.
