Wizard101 Best Level 130 Fire Gear

We have now moved this series to a new home since it’s been so long since the most recent update. Here is the link for the series. We will be working to update this over time!
Last updated 10/18/2020 (added Primeval Hoard pack set bonus, hat and wand; updated sample builds)

 

What’s the best gear for a max level Fire Wizard (currently level 130)?  We’ve seen this question many times, so we’ve provided our recommendations below, in a format to help you compare options.

We’ll take a moment to review our criteria first, since the “best” gear depends on your role and objectives.

Our Criteria

We consider the gear listed below the best for a max level Fire Wizard if you are:

  • Questing by yourself (solo)
  • Questing in a group & playing the role of a hitter, or
  • Playing PvP in an offensive or traditional role

If you are questing in a group and playing a support role (i.e., buffing the wizard that is going to hit and/or healing) or if you are playing a very defensive PvP strategy, we assume you are more interested in global resist and outgoing healing.  We suggest that you check out Cody’s guide on gear with the best outgoing healing, as it includes several high-resist gear options as well.

There are three types of recommendations, depending on your focus:

1. Damage Focus

Typically used against opponents with high block, such as bosses.

  • Primary objective is to maximize damage
  • Secondary objectives are power pips, accuracy and pierce

2. Critical Focus

Typically used against opponents with low block, such as mobs.  Some PvP builds focus on high critical as well.

  • Primary objective is critical
  • Secondary objectives are damage, power pips and accuracy

3. Balanced

Typically used in PvP or against bosses that hit hard (e.g., Storm Titan anyone?):

  • Primary objective is to provide decent damage and several helpful stats, including universal resist, power pips, accuracy, pierce and important jewel sockets
  • Many balanced items contain some critical, although it’s typically not a “critical” objective (pun intended)

 

Gear Set Bonuses

Gear set bonuses provide stats in addition to whatever stats the gear provides, based on how many pieces of that set you’re wearing.  We list relevant bonuses here so you can consider them when selecting gear for your Wizard.

  • BEST LVL 150 FIRE GEAR:

    Remember were I mark “Set” you’ll need (Usually) 3 pieces of that same gear to get an extra bonus, which will increase your stats. Some gear sets are only viable because of this bonus. Please do not interchange certain pieces with a set bonus as it may lose you more than what you think.

    Hat:[1/3 of dragoon’s set] Dragoon’s Fiery Helm (LVL 130 crafted from catacombs)
    Robe: Robes of Malistaire’s Ire (LVL 100 dropped by Malistaire the undying at Darkmoor manor)
    Boots: [2/3 of Dragoon’s set] Dragoons Fiery Boots (LVL 130 crafted, from catacombs)
    Wand: [FREE OPTION] – Uber Freshbaker Staff (LVL 140 dropped by Heidi or Aberrant Paradox in Karramelle)
    [PAID / PACK OPTION] – [1/2 of Fossil avenger’s set] Fossil avenger’s Skullcrusher (LVL 130 Dropped from the Primeval horde pack)
    Athame: Edge of the Raging Daystar (LVL 100, dropped by Yevgeny in the Darkmoor Graveyard)
    Amulet: [3/3 of dragoons set] Dragoon’s Fiery Charm (LVL 130, crafted from catacombs)
    Ring: Directors thermal ring (LVL 140 dropped by Uwe in Karramelle)
    Deck: [MUST BE TRIANGLE SOCKET TO GET 100% PP chance] Freshbaker triangle deck (LVL 140 crafted in Karramelle)
    Pet: [2/2 of Fossil avengers set] Scratchy Frillasaur with Quint damage (All 5 damage talents) + Mighty (plus 65 strength)
    Mount: Fire Ghulture (not really necessary)

    This is the best gear (that I use) for PvE on my fire. Max Accuracy and PP. You can get maybe 10ish more damage, but you will be sacrificing PP and ACC which annoys me to the core. The set bonuses are as follows:
    Dragoons fiery set: +6 Fire ACC, +7 Fire Damage, +140 Pip convert
    Fossil avengers set: +3 fire Damage, + 5 Universal Damage (total of 8 extra damage).
    You can alternate some gear if you don’t mind losing ACC or PP, but keep in mind some gear peices have a set bonus so removing them for something else can lose you a lot of damage.
    Also add some perice jewels and what ever else you may need in your jewel socket, the only one you’ll NEED to add is a 10% PP chance jewel in both the athame and deck.
    With this set I get 200 exact damage (but ends up being around 180~ due to damage rework)…
    27 resist
    34 acc
    638 Crit
    146 block
    23 pierce
    106 PP chance
    121 Shadow Pip Rating
    655 Pip convert

  • you can upgrade this entire webpage now max damage has been pushed up to 215% and best damage is now 202%

    • Yes that would be good. Especially because this critical update, you dont need that much critical anymore.

  • It would seem the new fire deck (Freshbaker) has replaced Paradox, and I know you’re supposed to craft it, but my friend has 2 in his inventory from questing. No idea who he got them from. Does anyone else know who drops it? I don’t want to have to PVP for Revered crafting.**** Didn’t mean to post the comment that quickly lol.

    • I can confirm the final boss in Karamelle drops the deck. I got the tear version. It’s called “Uber Freshbaker Box.” I’ve gotten most of the other Freshbaker items from the boss too, as well as spellements, but the deck seems to be the only one worth getting… unless someone can figure out how to get the ring and keep the Dragoon bonus.

      • Switch the ring with the Dragoon Amulet. You probably will miss the critical and piercing, but having a strong hit that attacks all enemies for only 4 pips is definitely worth it.

  • I cant seem to load the gear. it will not show me

    • I have cleared my catach, flushdns and yet all i seem to see is the boxes for each thing but no img

      • There is a known issue with tabs at the moment. We are looking into this asap.

  • I believe for the max damage set for fire, you can get higher damage I think up to 195-196% damage.
    Setup:
    Hat: Zamunda Tribal Helm (32% fire damage)
    Robe: Royal Fusilier’s Coat (26% universal damage)
    Boots: Zamunda Tribal Boots )38% fire damage)
    Wand: Zamunda Spear and Shield (26% fire damage)
    Athame: Dragoon’s Fiery Dagger (18% fire damage)
    Amulet: Dragoon’s Fiery Amulet
    Ring: Dragoon’s Fiery Ring (12% fire damage)
    Deck: Case of Engulfing Flames (1% fire damage)
    Pet: Quint damage with mighty or thinkin’ cap jewel (22% fire damage & 11% universal damage)
    Mount: Fire Ghulture (3% fire damage)
    3 pieces of Dragoon’s Fiery Set (7% fire damage)
    Total damage:196%

  • change ring to dragoon and boots to zamunda for 195 max damage

  • The proposed setup for max damage/crit is incorrect. You can only get 175% while still retaining the 100% critical. I have everything listed except for the ghulture, and currently sitting at 172% damage.

    • Oh im sorry, I just realized I was using the morganthe athame. You are right.

    • Are you sure that your pet is max stats? It could appear to be higher percents on the pet summary screen, but still only contribute a decimal to your final damage calculation(Such as when people make 4/7/4/7/11 pets but they do not contribute the whole 33 damage.

      • My mistake, I did not see your second message.

  • Hey, just found out you could in theory get 177% damage and 100% critical or very very close, the only way u can get to 177% damage is by using the clitched fire pet, which gives one more damage.

  • My current setup for Max fire damage is 198%. However, this can go to 199% and with the Myth deckathalon deck rank 10 (not sure thats out yet), it’ll go to 202%

    • Meant the ice deckathelete’s deck*

      • We’re excluding the Deckathalon decks from the highest damage build since you can’t use trained spells. But agree with you that good to mention if someone wants to use TC only, so added to guide and made a note. My calcs show you can get to 203% damage with the best one. If you see anything better, LMK the specific gear pieces plz. Thx.

        • Yeh 203% is the max 😀

  • Are there any other alternatives for the wand? I don’t have crowns to pull for that one right now.

    • Many of the wand options we list are craftable..

      • such as?

        • We list the primary drop sources for each of the items beneath their images.

    • Best non-crowns wands are Ignus’ Focused Torchstaff (crafted) and Dragoon’s Fiery Broadsword (soon to be dropped; also can be crafted)

  • Update the guide plz. One, you have 77% pip chance. Two, you can get 166% damage with 104% pip chance 838 critical and 26% accuracy. Firstly, all the gear is the same besides Malistaire robe and Morganthe athame. The pet will have assailant(36), critical striker (34), fire dealer(11%), fire giver(7%), pain giver(7%) and thinking cap jewel. Keep in mind you will need max stats. You have two options:1. get 94% pip chance and 38% accuracy or 104% pip chance and 26% accuracy. you either 6% to fail pip or 4% fizzle, I would rather fail pip. In total, you get 166 damage (with Ghulture) and 838 critical regardless of the triangle jewels. If my math is right these are the stats you can get by changing the pet and optimizing pip/accuracy %. The highest damage for max critical follows this build just with the pet I mentioned above. It’s better than having 30% accuracy and 77% pip chance for sure guys even 91%pip and 30%acc with 165 damage.

    • the max damage is 169 with the pet but it’s not recommended because you will still have 77% pip and 30% accuracy

      • Thanks for catching that! Updated the guide. Appreciate the feedback.

  • I get that the sample build is supposed to show the max…but come on…who’s gonna use the dragoon athame (which gives 18 not 17 dmg btw) instead of morganthe’s…yes, it gives 1% dmg increase but your pip chance falls down to 77% opposed to 91%.

    • You literally just said the reason right there, just for people who want more damage and don’t care about any other stat at all. I will say that after level 100, athames are literally useless unless you have been using stuff from the bazaar or you fear Darkmoor and Morganthe, so I agree with you there. As a level 130 ice, I wouldn’t use any other athame after the one from the Graveyard (except for when I’m in a different set of course). It’s weird that all athames are now are a source for health, critical block and some damage. Similar to how robes are mostly defensive now, but the defense is even worse than anything that you would get from using a robe that would be normally farmed for from Darkmoor or Exalted Rattlebones.

    • FYI reworked the Sample Builds section. Separated “Suggested Gear to Use” from the “Highest Possible Damage”

  • How about the Catacombs gear?

    • Hi there, we will be updating these guides as soon as possible. thanks for your patience!

  • Actually, 165 is possible with the new dragoons hat and boots with pain giver talent and the new dragoon’s fiery ring. with this setup you’ll get 8% more damage and still have 100% critical.

    • And the athame

    • You can get 166 Damage in the 100% Critical build if you use Dragoon’s Firey Athame

      • Bleh, didn’t notice that the new athame has more damage. Updated damage & critical builds. Thx for the catch!

  • with the new Dragoon’s boots and hat for the 100% critical and high damage build. You can technically get 163 damage and max critical if you replace one of the critical pet talents for pain giver and also get the new dragoon’s hat and boots. With that you will get 33 critical rating from the hat and boots and 6% more damage from the pet talent. So whatever critical you lose from not having the pet talent is made up by the gear and in turn you get 6% more damage totaling to 163 dmg and 100% critical.

  • PLS DO A MYTH ONE PLS 😀 Great website hleps a lot

    • I believe a myth one is in the works!

      • For the 100% Critical build for Myth please use Witch Hunters Arbelest

        • Just created the Myth one this weekend. Should be published soon. I couldn’t find a way to reach 100% critical with the Witch Hunter’s Arbelest for the sample build. If you’re able to make something work, let us know in the comments for it and we’ll update!

  • Could you make a max critical set both not crafted and crafted pls.

    • Would suggest checking out the options in each section but can provide a few commments here.

      Think the only useful crafted option for a high critical build is the Khrysalis Hat, although I prefer the Paradox Hat for the extra damage and Pips.

      Most recommendations for a build focusing on higher critical would include dropped items: Paradox Hat, Tenni’syn Robe, Paradox Boots, Yevgeny/Morganthe Athame with 2 critical jewels, Shane amulet, Paradox Ring, Paradox Deck and Quad Critical / Double Damage Pet.

      For the wand, the best non-crowns option for highest critical would be the Hades Wand from Tartarus. Or if you’re willing to spend crowns on packs there are a lot of options with critical and damage (e.g., the new Sinbad Hoard Pack one is good).

  • 100% Critical and Max Damage level 130 Fire

    Hat = Fiery Paradox Conical (144 Fire Critical; 30% Fire Damage)

    Robe = Radiant Light Brigade Armor (110 Fire Critical; 23% Fire Damage)

    Boots = Fiery Paradox Boots (120 Fire Critical; 36% Fire Damage)

    Wand = Jack Hallow’s Blues (209 Fire Critical)

    Athame = Edge of the Shadow Web with 2 Sparkling Fire Critical Jewels (36 Fire Critical; 17% Fire Damage)

    Amulet = Talisman of the Daystar (35 Universal Critical)

    Ring = Mithraya’s Blazing Loop with 1 Sparkling Fire Critical Jewel (87 + 18 Fire Critical; 11% Fire Damage)

    Deck = Fiery Paradox Deck (58 Fire Critical)

    Mount = Fire Ghulture (3% Fire Damage)

    Pet [max stat]:
    Fire-boon / Pain-bringer = 3% Damage
    Fire-giver = 6% Fire Damage
    Pain-giver = 6% Damage
    Fire-dealer = 10%
    Fire Assailant = 32 Fire Crit

    + Mighty Opal [gain 4% more damage — since other pet damage talents will raise by 1%]

    Total = 849 Critical and 149% Damage

    • Thank you! Appreciate the input, as it helps us ensure we’re giving accurate info to everyone. When doing the update today, realized that you can get even more damage using the new Sinbad Hoard Pack wand! Updated the sample build.

  • Under the sample build, 100% Critical and Max damage — the Fiery Paradox Boots should only have 120 critical and not 132 critical. But still it reaches 100% crit anyway

    • Fixed, thank you. Looks like I had the critical for the deck wrong in the sample build too. 🙂

  • What is the pet they are talking about in the sample builds?
    Please let me know ASAP. Thanks

    • It can be any pet as long as it has max stats combined with the mentioned talents.

  • Switch out three of the four critical talents and swap them with damage. Use a +65 strength jewel to give yourself 5% more damage. Switch out the wand for Jack Hallow’s Blues. If you keep Fire Assailant, you’re left with 852 critical, which is 14 points above max critical chance. You do lose some pierce but as the set is meant for damage and critical, I thought I’d share.

    • You can ALSO swap out the Paradox ring for the Mithraya ring and lose 9 critical but gain 1% damage. You’ll then sit at 843 critical, which is still 5 points above the max.

      • Thanks for the info David, appreciate it! While doing the updates today, realized you can get even higher with the new Sinbad Hoard Pack wand. Updated the sample build.

    • Fire-boon / Pain-bringer
      Pain-giver
      Fire-giver
      Fire-dealer
      Fire assailant

      + Mighty Opal (+4% more damage)

      right?

    • Your suggestion is better 🙂 Thanks for this!

      It has 100% critical and 149% damage overall

  • The Robes have pictures of the Stats but show the storm robes below

    • I used the Storm article as a starting point for the layout. Looks like I forgot to update a few of the descriptions. Thanks for the catch. Updated now.

  • Is there a myth one?

    • Still in the works. Check back at a later stage 🙂

  • Can you make a death one next please???

    • It is in the works 🙂

  • This was so helpful!! Can you please do a life one? i almost at max. You guys have helped me so much
