#wizard101 test

Hey guys! Since Monstrology in the Test Realm is up, I managed to hitch a ride and take a look-see at what it had in store, and so far it’s a very interesting concept! Here’s what I’ve gathered and know so far;

Monstrology, or the study of monsters, is a new activity that Players Level 12 and above can participate in. It revolves solely on collecting monsters’ essence, or animus. The only way to get Animus is to enchant a spell with the Extract Animus Spell. This animus can be transformed into three things; Minion Treasure Cards, House Guests, and Instant Kill Treasure Cards. All of these cost a certain amount of Animus, plus a bit of Gold.

Minion Monsters Work the exact same as your other minions, like Freedo the Ice Fish or Animate. This costs the least amount of Gold and Animus, and does not take the place of another minion. This cannot be used in PVP.

House Guests Are like the guests you got in packs; namely the Immortal’s Lore Pack, Road Warrior’s Pack, and others. However, these House Guests are free-roaming, like pets and Mounts!

Instant Kill Treasure Cards Are cards that are extremely potent and useful in dire situations. It kills a monster instantly, but ONLY if it’s that specific monster. Boss Monsters do not have Instant Kill Treasure Cards.

The Monstrodome is a battle dome; where your captured Animus Monsters, in Summon Treasure Card Form, can be summoned to battle with, permanently. Any cheats from bosses are removed, so there is less fear of being defeated in your own home due to unknown cheats. You can have up to 4 different mobs at a time. If there are no TC cards in the tome, 4 Wooden Constructs will take you on instead. The Monstrodome is worth 2500 Crowns in the Crowns shop, Or you can buy the recipe from Felicia Worthington in Marleybone. It takes the following to make one:

10 Foulgaze Animus Summon Treasure Cards

10 Lady Blackhope Animus Summon Treasure Cards

10 Lord Nightshade Animus Summon Treasure Cards

80 Sandstone

100 Mist Wood

25 Black Lotus

50 Brass

Notes:

One Animus can be gained by hitting an enemy by using the Extract Animus Spell with a spell that deals damage. Another can be claimed if you defeat it with one.

The Higher your Monstrology Level, The better chances you get of collecting animus from higher ranked opponents. You can also get bonus Animus from lower-ranked enemies. You get Monstrology EXP by defeating Monsters with the Extract Animus Enchant.

So far, only Undead Creatures can drop animus.

Boss Monsters do not have instant kill TC’s.
