Behind the Scenes | Expanded Decorating | Return of Friend Finder
Miscellaneous | Post Release Updates

Many of the changes we have made in this update are what we call 'Behind the Scenes' changes. These are updates to way the game runs, and hopefully our players will only notice a positive difference!

Is your Balance House barren? Is your Life House in need of more life? Do you have wonderful items taking up space in your attic because you've run out of places to put things? Well do we have a surprise for you!

Now you can purchase an elixir that will increase the number of items you can place in one area of your house!

The "Bric-a-Brac Elixir" is available for 995 Crowns and lets you add space for 50 more decorating items in either the interior or exterior of your house. You can use the elixir as many times as you like, up to a total of 300 decorating spaces per zone.

You have to use the elixir in the area that you want to increase. If you want to increase the number of decorating spaces on the interior of your house, you must be in the interior of your house when you buy the elixir, and you will need to purchase a separate elixir for the exterior of your house.

pssst...yes this works in your Dorm too!

New Elixirs

Lots of new Elixirs are available so let's clear up what does what.

Bric-a-Brac Decorating Elixir - lets you increase the number of items that can be placed in an area of your house. This potion is Crowns only as it is a permanent expansion of what is currently available to all players.

Additional Castle Space Elixir - lets you purchase a house beyond the current maximum of three per character. This potion is Crowns only as it is a permanent expansion of what is currently available to all players.

Crafting Elixir - reset all your Crafting Countdown timers. This potion is Crowns only as it shortcuts time in the game.

Hatching Elixir - hatch all the eggs you currently have in your backpack. This potion is Crowns only as it shortcuts time in the game.

Purreau's Potion #9 - This will reset your hatching timer and allow you to hatch two pets immediately. This potion is Crowns only as it shortcuts time in the game.

FriendFinder Returns!

Players can invite their current Wizard101 gaming friends to join them in Pirate101, and friends you meet in Pirate101 can meet up with you again in Wizard101.

1 If your friend is ONLINE with you in Wizard101 there’s an icon near their picture:		2 Clicking that icon will bring up this window:
3 If your friend is OFFLINE in Wizard101 you cannot invite them.		4 If you have been given a code from Pirate101, use the Friend Finder button to redeem it.

Please note…a FriendFinder code is only valid for 24 hours after the first person enters it.

As a bonus, Friend Finder can be used to meet up with new friends you've met on the Wizard101 Test Realm - generate the code in the Test Realm and redeem it in the Live Game.

Miscellaneous Updates

1. Players will now dismount when using the G shortcut to Garden in their homes
2. Players are now able to craft Handsome Fomori spell - the Treasure Cards are now working correctly for that recipe.
3. Dragon's Hoard pack is now rewarding higher tier items such as the Dragonrider Balance blades instead of the Crescent Axe of Astrals. Note, as always you only have a chance to receive these rewards, they are not guaranteed when you open a pack.
