Many Wizard101 players aim to quickly train their pets to Mega. While it may seem like some players level up pets rapidly, the secret lies in having a solid infrastructure in place. This guide breaks down the key components of this infrastructure, allowing you to efficiently mega-train your pets. While this setup is designed for frequent pet training, you can easily scale it down to match your individual needs.
Optimizing Your Wizard’s Energy for Pet Training
Energy is the most crucial resource when training pets, as it limits how many training games you can play. Therefore, maximizing your wizard’s energy is the first step.
Equipping Energy-Boosting Gear
Investing in the best energy gear available is essential. This includes:
- Pack-bought gear: Some gear sets available in packs offer significant energy boosts.
- Level 80 Dropped Gear (Avalon Box Gear): Gear dropped in Avalon can provide substantial energy.
- In-game Gear (Arena Tickets): Certain vendors offer energy gear purchasable with arena tickets.
To further enhance energy, consider these additions:
- Corgi Pet: A Corgi pet provides a base +8 energy boost.
- “Huge Energy” Pet Talent: Manifesting the “Huge Energy” talent on your pet grants an additional +15 energy.
- Energy Jewels: Socket energy jewels into your gear wherever possible.
- Level-Appropriate Energy Items: Utilize wands and other items that provide energy boosts suitable for your wizard’s level.
Utilizing Energy Elixirs
Energy elixirs are another valuable tool for sustained pet training sessions. You can acquire them in a few ways:
- Purchasing Elixirs: Energy elixirs can be bought for Crowns in the Crown Shop.
- Grub Guardian (Wysteria – Tanglewood Way): Playing the Grub Guardian mini-game on the Wysteria map (Tanglewood Way) is a reliable source of free energy elixirs after an initial one-time purchase of the map and desired towers for around 2000 gold. This investment allows you to earn several energy elixirs daily.
Stockpiling Mega Snacks for Rapid Pet Leveling
Mega snacks are vital for quickly leveling up your pet’s stats and reaching Mega. Creating and maintaining large gardens of mega snack-producing plants is key.
Growing Couch Potatoes and Evil Magma Peas
- Stacked Gardens: Establish large, stacked gardens of Couch Potatoes and Evil Magma Peas. These plants are renowned for yielding mega snacks.
Note: While KingsIsle allows stacked gardens, they do not officially support them. If you choose to create stacked gardens, follow online guides carefully and ensure precise placement to avoid glitches. Test new stack designs with inexpensive seeds like Bazaar seeds or Bug Bolt seeds first.
Efficient Pet Training: The Dance Game Method
To expedite the pet training process itself, many players utilize a specific method with the pet dance game:
- Minimize Screen Size & Go Hidden: Reduce your Wizard101 window size and set your status to “Hidden to Friends” to minimize distractions and potential interruptions.
- Secondary Window for Entertainment: Open a second window to watch movies or engage with other content on a separate account. This helps combat boredom during repetitive training.
- Intentionally Failing the Dance Game: Repeatedly fail the dance game while consistently feeding your pet a snack after each attempt. This is a fast method to accrue pet experience and level up quickly.
By implementing these strategies for energy management, mega snack production, and efficient training techniques, you can significantly accelerate your pet leveling in Wizard101 and achieve Mega pets in less time. Remember to tailor these methods to your own pace and pet training goals.
