Wizard101 Catacombs Gear (Level 130)
The Fall 2019 Wizard101 Test Realm brings with it some new gear for level 130 wizards! You can find this gear in the Catacombs zone/dungeons in Golem Court.
What are They and Where Do I Get Them?
There are 3 tiers of gear available. Each tier has an entire set of gear (hat, robe, boots, wand, amulet, athame, ring). Tier 1 is a crafted set that also requires pieces from the Tier 2 gear. Tier 2 can be crafted and also is dropped from bosses). Tier 3 are dropped.
Catacombs Dragoon Gear – Tier 1
The Dragoon Gear can only be dropped from Skeleton Key Boss Fellspawn, or crafted. The name of the vendor is Zasha Emberforge and she is located in the main area of the Upper Level of the Catacombs.
You can reach the the area by entering the Drains in Golem Court and then walking to the Catacombs (you’ll need to unlock the area through questing first).
The gear recipes show that they require the associated Vanguard gear item (e.g., the Fire Dragoon Robe requires the Fire Vanguard Robe). But the good news is that the Vanguard item can ANY school (e.g., you can use the Vanguard Robe of any school to craft the Fire Dragoon Robe).
The recipes also require the following new reagents:
- 300 Alchemical Extract
- 50 Alchemical Salts
- 5 Alchemical Crystals
All of these new reagents drop in the various fights in the Catacombs. In addition, Zasha has two transmute recipes:
- 10 Alchemical Extract for 1 Alchemical Salts
- 10 Alchemical Salts for 1 Alchemical Crystals
Catacombs Vanguard Gear – Tier 2
The Vanguard Gear can be crafted as well. The recipes are available from Zasha Emberforge and require:
- 180 Alchemical Extract
- 30 Alchemical Salts
- 3 Alchemical Crystals.
The Vanguard Gear also is a rare drop (estimated around 2% of the time) from the following Catacombs bosses:
- Hats: King Detritus (Abandoned House dungeon in The Drains)
- Robes: Sir Greggor and General Greyflame (Foetid Crypt dungeon in Upper Catacombs; note that you can get the robe from the first fight with Greyflame)
- Boots: Prince Viggor (Viggor’s Tomb dungeon in Upper Catacombs — was Viggor’s Drake before update 11/21)
- Wands: The Devourer (Edge of the Spiral dungeon in Lower Catacombs)
- Athames: Renegade Druid (Avalon dungeon in Lower Catacombs)
- Amulets: Stharilith (Valencia dungeon in Lower Catacombs)
- Rings: The Devourer (Edge of the Spiral dungeon in Lower Catacombs)
Thanks to Alex Lionheart and Ravino on Twitter, and to the community on the Final Bastion for their helpful info on the drops.
Catacombs Soldier Gear – Tier 3
The Soldier gear seems to drop from most of the bosses and mobs in the Catacombs dungeons. At a minimum, you can get the Soldier gear from the same bosses that drop their respective Vanguard Gear.
As a reminder, you’ll reach the Catacombs by entering the Drains in Golem Court and then walking to the Catacombs (you’ll need to unlock the area through questing first).
How Do They Compare to Current Gear?
Hats
- Offensive (no universal resist) — very similar to the Paradox gear
- Slight upgrade in all Paradox stats, except:
- Damage is slightly lower
- New hats have some pierce (Paradox hats didn’t)
- The highest tier hats also have a 0-pip mass trap.
Evaluation: Most wizards using the Paradox hat will want to upgrade.
Robes
- Defensive — focus on health, resist and block (similar to many of the recent robes)
- Could be of interest given:
- Significant health, block, and universal resist
- Also has power pip chance, a little accuracy and a little pierce
Evaluation: With very limited accuracy, no critical and no damage, many Wizards may choose to continue with their Tenni’syn, Darkmoor or Bonemasher robes.
Boots
- Similar to the Paradox boots, with the following differences:
- Significantly more universal resist
- More health and critical
- Slightly less power pip chance
- Similar damage
- Provide Sharpend Blade and Potent Trap cards, which can be helpful for stacking.
Evaluation: These are widely considered to be the best part of the new gear. It’s definitely worthwhile to get them.
Wands
- Similar to Paradox wands:
- More damage and block
- Significantly more pip conversion
Evaluation: Not as attractive as some Crowns options, like wands from the Sinbad Hoard or Pandamonium Hoard packs. In addition, some wizards may continue to use Revered wand for pierce
Athames
- Comparison to Darkmoor and Morganthe athames:
- Significantly more health
- Slightly less damage
- No power pip chance
- Has significant critical block
- Less healing boost
Evaluation: Somewhat interesting option (choosing between health and power pip chance)
Amulets
- Upgrade to Rasputin amulets in stats
- More health
- Slightly more critical block
- Similar resist
Evaluation: If you don’t value offensive stats like pierce or critical, this amulet is certainly worthwhile. Even if you prefer offense, the defensive stats are very compelling, regardless. The Dragoon and Vanguard version have 4-pip AoE spell cards with solid damage (Dragoon has 2 and Vanguard has 1), so potentially very helpful to Life and Death wizards
Rings
- Upgrade to the Paradox Ring
- More health, critical and damage
- For Life, more outgoing healing (no incoming)
- For other schools, more incoming healing (no outgoing)
Evaluation: Solid ring for offensive PvE builds. Likely outclassed by the Level 100 Duelist Ring for PvP.
Here’s the gear, organized by school. If you get any Vanguard or Soldier gear drops that we are missing, please pass it along (Email finalbastion101@gmail.com or send it in a message in our Discord server) and we’ll add it to the guide! Thank you.
