So some back-story, I've been playing Wizard101 for almost the entire span of time that the game has been out, and out of the dozens of characters I've made, I have kept only two. My first one that I kept is a level 64 and my second one who is now my main is a level 33 .

Meanwhile, my level 33 is now at the very end of Krokotopia at the final dungeon and boss (no spoilers here) and I have done 2 runs of Mount Olympus and have finished Wysteria 100%, including the Zeke quest.
After 7 years, I learned from this character is that you really should do every single quest in the game, including side quests, because it really makes a difference. At this point on my I was already half way through Mooshu and it was pretty hard. So I highly suggest that you accept every single side quest no matter how crazy they are, because you will have a major advantage on the rest of the game.
