This guide will expertly walk you through the essential strategies, from quickly gathering gold and trinkets, efficiently leveling up your spells, navigating PvP and bounty systems, and mastering effective combat techniques. Get ready to transform from a fledgling wizard into a powerful spellcaster in no time!
1. Spawn & Basic Controls
- Press R to equip your wand.
- Left-click or tap to cast basic attacks.
- Press F to fly on your broom and move faster.
- Open the Map (usually by pressing M or using the spell “Aparo”) to teleport around.
2. Earning Money & Finding Trinkets
- Look for red exclamation marks on the map to find easy PvE areas.
- Defeat the enemy wizards or creatures there, then open chests to get trinkets.
- Sell trinkets at green $ symbols (safe zones) to earn gold.
- For bigger rewards, rob orange $ banks or clear yellow/beige zones. This makes you “wanted”, so other players can attack you.
3. Unlocking & Equipping Spells
- Click the Spells button (or visit the spell shop) to see different tiers.
- Spend gold to buy spells in each tier. Unlock enough levels in one tier to open the next.
- Bombarda (Bombard) is a great damage spell early on.
- Aparo (Teleport) helps you jump around the map faster.
- Healing spells like Episkio keep you alive in fights.
4. Safe vs. Risky Gameplay
- Red Exclamation Marks: Safer PvE fights (no player bounty).
- Yellow/Beige or Orange $: Risky areas with bigger rewards. If you steal artifacts, a 30-second timer starts, and everyone sees your location.
- Survive the 30 seconds, then sell for a lot of gold!
- If you die while wanted, you’ll likely go to jail for a few seconds and lose your trinkets.
5. Gear & Wands
- You can get new wands by opening Wands Lootbox crates (cost Scrolls).
- Brooms and clothes sometimes drop from chests or from robbing banks.
- Some hats or outfits give little bonuses, but mostly they’re for style.
6. PVP & Bounties
- Turning on PVP Mode (click the button on screen) makes you a target.
- If you have a bounty, players may chase you for a reward.
- You can clear your bounty by:
- Dying and waiting in jail.
- Hiding your wand and staying calm for about 25–30 seconds (sometimes works).
- Grabbing the Crown of Nobility in the Royal Keep, which also boosts income.
7. Extra Tips
- Buy the Pickaxe Spell (Vocare Pickaxe) if you want to mine ores (though it’s slower money early on).
- Use dodge/shift (Q or Shift key) to avoid enemy spells.
- Cash in your trinkets before risking big fights so you don’t lose them.
- Bombarda + Ignis or a strong shield spell like Proto are popular combos for new wizards.
