Wizard101 Main Quest Line
Mirage

[Looking for a different part of this series? Click here]

This guide is meant as a tool to follow your progress while questing in Mirage as well as a warning for when a cheating boss is coming soon. For this guide, I’m only listing the main quest line quests, aka storyline quests, which means the ones you have to do in order to get to the next area. Side quests are not mentioned.

I list the quests you have to do in a certain area. The areas are listed in the order you should do them in (unless otherwise specified). The area is not always one hundred percent correct, as certain quests can require you to run back and forward between areas to talk to people. To simplify matters, I have not listed this kind of running; the quest will say “talk” but not where the NPC is located. Also, if there is only one quest in an area, I will not mention the area seperately. Between brackets are the different parts of the quest, as a quest will often require you to do multiple things.

I have divided the quests in the Spiral into the following groups:

Talk: Quests that require an interaction with an NPC.
Mob: Quests that require the defeat of regular monsters.
D&C: Quests that require the collection of something from certain monsters (Defeat and Collect).
Boss: Quests that require the defeat of a boss. Elite monsters are not counted as bosses.
Minor Cheat: Quests that require defeating a boss that cheats a little (these cheats can generally be ignored).
Cheat: Quests that require the defeat of a cheating boss (these cheats will hinder normal gameplay somewhat).
Major Cheat: Quests the require the defeat of a cheating boss (these cheats will hinder normal gameplay significantly).
Instance: Quests that require the completion of a place behind a sigil with at least 2 battles.
Puzzle: Quests that require the solution to a puzzle.
Interact: Quests that require interaction with a certain object.
Collect: Quests that require interaction with multiple items of a kind.
Explore: Quests that just require you to run towards a certain area, NPC or item.
Solo: Quests you need to do alone.

Note that some of the quests might be labeled “defeat and collect” in game, but actually appear as mob battles in my guide. This is because many of the D&C quests in Mirage actually give you the item required on the first try. Only fights where I actually had to fight the same mob twice to get the item are labeled as D&C. The rest are labeled as mob fights. Maybe I just got lucky in some cases, so don’t hesitate to correct me in the comments if a mob quest took you multiple fights to complete!

Mirage Main Quest Line Guide

World Info

Mirage has a total of 115 quests. Of those quests, there are 52 regular mob fights, and only 13 Defeat and Collect quests (I think, correct me if I’m counting wrong XD)! There is a total of 58 boss fights. Of these bosses, 29 are cheaters of some kind, though not all of them are equally severe.There are 3 quests you have to do solo: one in the very beginning of Mirage and two somewhere past the half-way point.

Mirage went back to the tradition of doing areas in a certain order, and finishing one before going on to the next. This makes it different from for example Khrysalis, where it was hard to see your progress because you kept having to go back to old areas. I’ve always preferred worlds to be divided into clear areas to finish before moving on to the next one.

Mirage is longer than Polaris, but shorter than Azteca. I’d say it’s almost the perfect length for a world! I was a little disappointed when I came to the end, because I had mentally prepared myself for a longer world, but I do appreciate that it didn’t drag on too long.

My favorite quest is the one where you chase someone on a flying carpet (forgive my memory; I can’t remember who we were chasing). I did like many of the other quests and bosses as well though. For me, this was as close to the perfect world as you can get. Mirage had definitely deserved a place in my top 3 worlds, along with Avalon and Polaris.
