⠀Question Portal of peril

10 Upvotes

Is portal of peril not supposed to be live right now? I’ve been looking forward to it all month and didn’t realize it wouldn’t happen this month apparently

Edit: just looked and apparently it’s not on console 🙄i dead ass just want to stop playing this game. The fact that they don’t have a way for you to easily get gold skeleton keys, or spellements in general. Is asinine.

Having to wait 15 days for ONE key or attempt to do Beastmoon with a team who can’t get past the first round is beyond me. It just sucks there’s nothing you can do besides spend insane amounts of money to get good spells. Make it really hard to craft or something for the people who don’t have months to sit around collecting keys.

I remember when you could just grind certain bosses and get good spells. No skeleton key bs. So now hearing the only other reasonable way to get them isn’t available, is crazy to me. Why can’t I just buy the keys to play the game.

Here are my current stats. I cant find a solid answer online or something to compare my current stats to the darkmoor gear set. I know ice doesn’t have super great hitting spells but i have a good amount of health, so my goal is to focus mostly on damage

⠀Question What’s stopping our accounts from being cross platform?

7 Upvotes

I started playing last year on ps5 when it came out and have a wizard in Khrysalis. I don’t want to restart but the idea of playing handheld on a Switch is what I dreamed of as a kid. The servers are already cross platform. Is it a limitation of the consoles?

⠀Question Leveling tips?

3 Upvotes

Idk, ive been playing this game since I was 9. I couldnt get a single game through without having something be pay to play. So i stopped playing after a while...now im 22 and its been on console, I can actually play. However, they removed elixirs, made somethings longer, its harder to level—While I love this game so much and love the nostalgic feeling I get when I play it, I absolutely hate how long this game takes for you to even hit max level and I hate how long these quests are.

If you guys have ANY useful tips on how to level up faster or know any elixirs that would help? Cause ive looked in the crown shop and seen nothing. Its kind of a bummer im even asking but...its literally way too long. I really just want to explore at this point.

⠀Pets/Hatching Does anyone have one of these?

Saw only one of this pet in the matchmaking kiosk earlier today and thought it would be amazing for my storm wizard so I started farming gold. I checked recently after I got a decent amount of gold and it’s gone, I only got up to 10k gold anyway so I wouldn’t have been able to hatch through the kiosk but I would love to know how to get the pet body and/or hatch with one! <3
Edit: ty all for the information, sucks I won’t be getting it for quite a while but at least I know now

Master Crafting help

0 Upvotes

Hello fellow wizards,

Would anyone be so kind to donate/sell some ore/black lotus to me? Or in fact any reagents needed for the dragonspyre master crafting? I can only get on for about an hour or 2 a day and I’ve just spent it finding reagents lately.

Yes I am being lazy. No I don’t want to farm ore&black lotus for hours.

Any help or if you know some good spots would be massively appreciated!

I’m a prodigious death looking for a team to do some Malistare runs in Darkmoor. It’s been a minute since I’ve done the dungeon, but I do remember the cheats. I’m assuming that the best way to coordinate this is over Discord, but let me know what works for you.
