Wizard101 – Ver. ??? (The Ghastly Conspiracy Raid + Magic Weaving and More)

Release date: May 29th/30th 2026
Patch notes:

The Ghastly Conspiracy Raid

It was a cold night in Heap, the kind of night that freezes your breath in mid-air, where even the crooks and the crime bosses stay tucked in bed, the kind of night that makes Death itself say: “Brr, nope, not goin’ out.” But some things don’t care about the cold, because their blood runs colder than any night could ever be. Some things are just that… ghastly. But what things? And why? And what could they do in the shadows where Death is too chilly to walk? Figuring that out is a job for Dog Tracy… and the Shadoe… and about 8 Wizards. Together, they must brave the Heap and unravel “The Ghastly Conspiracy.”

Assemble your Guild for the first 8-player raid! This raid will require heavy communication and coordination between raiders through a series of difficult challenges and combats as they pursue the new rewards and titles. This will test even the most experienced of level 170 wizards. Good luck!

Speak to Gwyn Fellwarden in Dun Dara, Avalon to begin The Ghastly Conspiracy Raid!

Aquila Chronicle Content

New Boss

Do you even push bro? Aquila has a new enemy to face that’s been pumping ferrous for a few centuries! Fight Sisyphus during a brand-new quest given by Athena Battle Sight in the Garden of Hesperides. You can fight him in Standard mode or try your hand at Challenge mode for greater rewards.

New Spells

The Aquila Immortals have become new spells! One for each school. These Spellements are dropped by Sisyphus, and once you defeat him, you will also see the Spellements show up in the main 3 dungeons of Aquila as well.

Challenge Mode

Face the Immortal Games in their ultimate form. This includes Mount Olympus, Atlantea, and Tartarus. With new cheats and new rewards, these dungeons present a new challenge while staying true to their original mechanics. As with all Challenge Modes, you will get scaled down to the level of the dungeon and your decks will be adjusted to exclude any spells not suited for the level or for Advanced Combat in general. The full dungeons including all secret bosses are included. If you defeat them enough times, you unlock the new Oracle gear set.

More Gear and Rewards

Aquila dungeons now allow you to craft the gear from Khalkos Coppersmith.
The Aquilla chronicle update will include a brand-new template of gear and new pets as well!

New Events

Fantastic Fight Fest

During the entire month of August 2025, Manfred Mander will be visiting the Spiral. He needs your help mapping the Spiral’s many dangerous creatures. Rally your friends, team up, and show the Spiral what you’ve got!

How it works:

Each day, a different world is featured.
Use the Team Up Kiosk or the Join Team button in the event UI to help out in that world.
You can earn points for one fight via the kiosk, and two fights via the Join button. Every point helps push the community forward.

Community Progress Waves:

The event features 4 Community Waves, with a new wave unlocking each week.
Waves unlock progressively. Once the current wave is complete and enough time has passed, the next one will open.
All unlocked waves will remain open through the end of the event, so you can still jump in late and earn unique rewards.
While the event has a bit of built-in flexibility, completing the full progress track will take consistent effort. Log in regularly to stay on track and earn those exclusive rewards!
Invite your friends to log in and help out as well! This is a community challenge – the more the merrier!

Requirements and Notes:

You must be level 30+ to use the Join Team button.
If you haven’t unlocked the instance, you will be scaled up. You will not earn XP, loot, or badges, but you will receive credit for the event.

Don’t miss your chance to unlock these exclusive rewards! These exclusive items are among the many rewards available for purchase from Manfred the Mander with your points:

Fantastic Fight Fez Hat (cosmetic)
Fantastic Fight Fest 2025 t-shirt
Scarab Chariot Mount

This event is a team effort, the more wizards who join in, the faster the community can push through each wave and unlock the best rewards. Rally your friends, spread the word, and take on these challenges together.

Manfred Mander will stick around for 7 days after the event ends, giving players a chance to spend their Fantastic Fight Fest coins before he leaves.

Raid Island Quests

We finally had the time to go and provide Gwyn Fellwarden with a proper introduction. Head over to Lewellyn Prideheart in your guild and you’ll be able to begin a new quest featuring Gwyn in Dun Dara. There you’ll face the terrors of the Charnel House to prove yourselves worthy of the challenges to come in Raid Island.

Note: You need 4 wizards to complete this quest.

Voracious Void Quest

We’ve also had the time to create the introduction quest to the raid in Dragonsypre. Head to Dun Dara and find Gwyn Fellwarden. Gwyn will send you to investigate strange events in Dragonspyre, eventually leading to the Voracious Void raid.

Note: The previous introduction quest to Raid Island is a pre-requisite for this quest.

Spell Changes

Judgement, Poison, and Frostbite have new Spellement paths while the top path has been removed from Advanced Combat. These Spellements can be aquired through Beastmoon and Beastmoon Seeds.

All spells that previously had a condition that looked for Damage Over Time effects on the opponent or Heal Over Time effects on the caster now Gambit those effects for even greater value. Scion of Fire and Scion of Life are two examples.

Due to this change to over-time conditionals, some Advanced Combats have been adjusted to account for the new values.

Crying Sky Raid – All dual school elite mobs have been re-adjusted to account for the allowed effect types in their fights. High Priest Yetaxa’s health has been reduced to meet the same relative length of the other Priests.
Cabal’s Revenge Raid – Bat Bots have been adjusted to set up their OT Gambits better in the Personal Daemon fight and the ice ones will replace the Ice shield when hit before the Background Process. No health changes were needed
Loon Knight – Damage dealt by the ducks across both Standard and Advanced has been reduced, and Drake Lockley’s punch cheat’s damage has been reduced as well.

Beastmoon Updates

New Beastmoon Forms

Storm Draconian

Storm Draconian focuses on dealing damage while weakening his enemies. He uses interactions never seen before including a new type of damage reduction aura and Storm’s first afterlife spell.

Life Wolf Warrior

The Life Wolf Warrior marks the final version of the original 10 Icons, meaning all Beastmoon Forms have variants of all 7 schools for a grand total of 70. This one heals allies like none before, protecting teammates with extra Healing Over Time and Pacify.

Beastmoon Schedule

Above are the expected Pets and Gold Idols for the next few months of Beastmoon events!

Check out the Event Schedule for the exact dates of the events and be sure to keep watch on the Live update notes and the game’s social media channels for any upcoming announcements.

Recycling Bin

Have you ever trashed an item only to later regret it? The Recycling Bin holds your trashed items for a limited time so that you can change your mind and reclaim them.

Trashed items and released pets can be reclaimed for up to 30 days.
Your recycling bin has a limited size and if you trash a lot of items, they may be removed from your recycling bin sooner than 30 days.
It costs 1000 gold to reclaim an item.
Click the Recycling Bin Button next to the Trash Button on the Backpack page of your spellbook to open your Recycling Bin.

Tournaments

Tournaments can now be scheduled on demand by players! Using the Tournaments Kiosk, a level 50 or higher player can select the “Host” button in the bottom left of the window.

This opens the Create Tournaments window. In the first page you can select from a list of tournament templates. These templates appear on the left, and you can look through all the pages using the arrows at the bottom of the list. When you select a template the rules information will appear on the right.

On the top half you can see the requirements, duration, and Tourney Token cost to enter the tournament. You can also click the rewards button in the top right to preview the rewards for the tournament. In the bottom half you can see each of the rules for the tournament. You can scroll through the rules using the arrow buttons. When you’ve found a selection that you’re happy with, click next.

In the next window you will still be able to see your selected tournament on the right. The left of the panel allows you to set the Tournament Privacy and Tournament Time options. Currently the Friends and Guild options are disabled as they are still in progress, so the only option for Tournament Privacy is Public. Under Tournament Time you can select when you want your tournament to begin. You may not schedule a tournament to start sooner than 15 minutes from now and you may not schedule a tournament more than six days from now. When you’ve set your time, click Purchase and Create Tournament to move on.

Hosted tournaments will cost crowns. Once you have created the tournament it will appear in the Hosted Schedule tab of the Tournaments Kiosk. A tooltip will appear over each tournament with the name of the host to help you find your friend’s tournament.

When you host a tournament, it functions like any other tournament hosted in the Weekly Schedule, except that hosts may join the tournament at any time. Other players may sign up an hour ahead of time. If enough players have signed up when the scheduled time the tournament will begin. If a tournament does not start, the host will be issued a credit, allowing them to host a tournament free of the crowns cost.

In addition to the Hosted Tournaments feature, the rewards of tournaments have been adjusted. Tournaments will now award Blue Arena Tickets and medals, which can be seen on the rewards preview screen.

User Journey Optimization

Updated Quests on Unicorn way so that optional quests (side-quests) are offered at the end, and not necessarily during the standard Unicorn Way quest chain.

There is one side-quest that is still offered in its normal place, that is the Pesky Pirates side quest, since it takes place simultaneously with the Skeleton Crew quest.
Players now get the Pixie/Fairy spell from the Fairies themselves.
Players also now get the 1-day Broom Mount prior to having to cross the map to find Lady Oriel
Rattlebones now has a proper boss mob notation on the map.

Bug Fixes/Enhancements

Updates to spell text of some early utility spells.
Some early utility spells now correctly categorized as Harmful Charms or Harmful Wards.
Resolved an issue where Enchanted Treasure Cards did not appear in the sideboard.
Auras on Shadow Enhanced Spells fixed and restored paths to Nested Fury, Call of Khrulhu, Winged Sorrow, Lamassu, Rusalka’s Wrath, and Iron Sultan.

Magic Weaving and More!

Rank 4 Magic Weaving

Uncover lost magical lore and continue your explorations with the Order of the Fang. New quests pick up right where you left off. Talk to your tree in the Blended Grove to discover new spells, old secrets and things hidden since the dawn of the Spiral.

These quests are available to players who have reached Rank 3 with a Weaving School and have completed the main storyline through Avalon.

As with Ranks 1-3, you’ll get special rewards based on the school you weave into. In this update:

Balance and Ice receive new Fusion Formulae
Storm and Life give you new utility spells
Fire, Myth, and Death receive a new pet and new jewels

New Spellements and Spell Updates

Spellements have been added to the final three main worlds that were missing spellements – Polaris, Mirage, and Empyrea! Polaris spells are the 6-pip 1-shadow spells; Mirage, the 4-pip 1-shadow; and Empyrea, the 11-pip Scion spells. Like previous spellement updates, this includes a new spellement path for each spell as well as upgrades for the base spell.

You can find these spellements in all the same places that spellements typically appear…

Various bosses throughout the world associated with the spell or the 4 worlds after that world. Scales of Destiny required for over leveled wizards
Scales of Knowledge have been added to the final bosses of Polaris, Mirage, Empyrea, Karamelle, Lemuria, and Novus
Main and Side quest rewards throughout the worlds associated with the spells
Cantrip Chests throughout the world associated with the spell
Cantrip Chests have been added to Polaris, Mirage, and Empyrea
The Reagent and Chest Audit has extended to Polaris, Mirage, and Empyrea as well
Boss Rematches of the world associated with the spell. More on these new rematches below
“Retriever” pet talents throughout the world associated with the spell or the 4 worlds after that world
If your pet has the “Elemental Retriever” or “Spiritual Retriever” talent unlocked, you can activate it in the new worlds to earn some new spellements
Cabal’s Revenge Raid, which is set in Polaris
Portal of Peril Recipes

In addition to these 3 sets of spells, we also updated the spellement paths of all shadow enhanced spells including the spells earned from Karamelle, Lemuria, and Castle Darkmoor. You can now train these spells (with the exception of Castle Darkmoor) all via the Arcanum Scholars with any school.

With this update in particular, we have also restored the original versions of many modified spells. Highlights include Fire from Above, Raging Bull, Hungry Caterpillar, and Mockenspiel.

2025 Housing Gauntlet: Liches & Legends

You’ve been working hard. You’ve saved the Spiral from monsters and maniacs. You have completed quests, crafted rare armor, picked up laundry. You deserve a break. You deserve to play… a game. And not just any game! The ultimate game!

The quintessential tabletop experience known as “Liches & Legends.” Join Deborah Highroller as they guide you through this exciting new adventure, where you select from 5 classes, navigate your way through multiple narrative and gameplay options, and uncover hidden secrets and variable endings. Choose your character, choose your path, choose your legend!

This year’s housing gauntlet focuses on meaningful choices: First, you will have a chance to choose from among several different Liches and Legends characters. And once you are on the adventure, you get to choose your path, affecting both the gameplay and the outcome of the story. Please submit all your feedback so we can make sure all mechanics are clear and fun!

Some details on the Gauntlet:

There are a total of 27 possible combinations from 3 choices – Each one changing something in the encounter, whether it’s story, player stats, or final boss settings.
There are always 4 characters. If you’re in the encounter with one, two, or three players, the gauntlet will grant one or more followers to fill out the combat spots you are missing.
When choosing a character role, you can look at its card deck before selecting Yes or No.
Once play begins and you are polymorphed into your chosen character role, you can press “P” to view the polymorph’s card deck.

The Liches & Legends Gauntlet Recipe can be found in the housing tab of Lloyd FallingWater in the Shopping District.

Although you will had a chance to play test The Liches & Legends Gauntlet during Test Realm, the final product will NOT be immediately available in-game at launch. Stay tuned for future announcements for the official release in an upcoming patch update.

Arc 3 Boss Rematches

Boss Rematches return, featuring the Arc 3 bosses. Boss Rematches are 1-time use Housing Items that contain single fights where you face the final bosses of each world, and sometimes these villains recruit some other creatures from iconic encounters throughout the world they’re from. These enemies are more powerful than the last time you crossed their paths, so you may need help from other wizards to defeat them once again.

To create a Rematch, harvest some reagents in the world you’d like to craft, then visit Raquel in the Arena or your world’s local housing vendor. After your first attempt, the rematch object becomes cheaper to craft.

Standard / Challenge Mode

Just like with the Arc 2 Rematches, there is both a Standard and a Challenge mode available. The difficulty of the fights is scaled to level 130, the expected level for Arc 3 completion. Don’t worry if you’re higher than level 130, as you can still participate. You can play in Standard mode with your current stats and spells at no cost to you, but if that’s too easy there’s always Challenge mode. In Challenge mode you’ll be scaled to level 130 and put your skills to the test. Like other Challenge Modes, you will receive a Gold Skeleton Key for your first victory!

Polaris – The Rat Rematch

Rasputin never dies! The Rat returns with even grander designs. Can you defeat him before his homemade Titan crushes you?

Mirage – Grandfather Spider Rematch

Grandfather Spider is joined by Bort Shadowmane, Shadowbones, and the Shadowwock in the Sands of Time for another round of fun. There’s so many games to play, and so much time to play them!

Empyrea – Titan’s Trident Rematch

The Storm Titan rages again! Now you must stand alone – No Mellori, no Bat – against the power that destroyed the First World.

Team Up Improvements

Inspired by a kind player who made some mock-ups for us, we have made some improvements to Team Up!

When you start a Team Up from a sigil you can specify a level range of players that you want to help you. Players outside that level range won’t see your Team Up. (This may make it take longer to find a team.)
When you’re waiting for a Team Up to start, the player’s level is displayed under their school icon.
When you’re waiting for a Team Up to start, you can chat with the other waiting players. Be nice! Normal chat rules apply.
15 seconds after the Team Up timer starts, players can vote to start the instance early.

Releasing Pets

We’ve added a more humane way to deal with pets that you no longer need. A new option on the Hatchmaking Kiosk allows pets to be released to roam free around the Pet Pavilion.

New Bazaar UI

After much discussion and some thousand-yard stares, we have decided upon a new, standard look for all inventory UI. As a first test of the design, we’ve converted the Bazaar to the new standard. If the community feedback is positive, we’ll convert other UI to this new standard as time permits. Tell us what you think!

Magic Weaving Lessons UI

Instead of the old Weaving Tome, you can now view your progress in your Magic Weaving lessons from the tree of your Weaving School! Simply select “Magic Weaving Tome” and you can view all badges for that school’s weaving quests.

Beastmoon Updates

New Beastmoon Forms

Myth Cyclops

This final Myth Beastmoon form summons a new type of minion and punishes Positive Wards like no other form before. He also combines traps and DOTs in a way that will be very difficult to defend against.

Ice Rat Thief

The long-awaited Ice Rat Thief is here! He comes out of the gate swinging with the possibility of a powerful trap on turn 1 and has many tricks up his sleeve to keep himself alive as a small form.

Beastmoon Schedule

Above are the expected Pets and Gold Idols for the next few months of Beastmoon events!

Check out the Event Schedule for the exact dates of the events and be sure to keep watch on the Live update notes and the game’s social media channels for any upcoming announcements.

New Beastmoon Rewards

The fourth Beastmoon gear set has arrived! If you like the look of the Rat Thief beast form, check out Actaeon in the Beastmoon Pavilion for the recipes.

Celestia Improvements

Here at KingsIsle we are constantly looking to create the best player experience possible. As such, we are examining old worlds with fresh eyes and making improvements where we’ve noticed players having a little more trouble than usual

Teleporters have been added to several areas to help with navigation.
