An amulet of divine influence is an object that carries both spiritual and mystical significance. It is believed to have the power to connect individuals with divine energies and invoke their favor and protection. This type of amulet is often associated with religious or spiritual traditions, where it is believed to hold the power of a specific deity or higher power. The concept of amulets of divine influence has been present in various cultures throughout history. In ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece, amulets were commonly used as protective charms to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. These amulets were often adorned with symbols and images representing the specific deity or power they were associated with.

Hades Gear Drop Guide (Tartarus) | Wizard101

Hades was part of Wizard101's first area and dungeon wizards could rent instead of buy. While Hades' gear is currently in an awkward spot being squished into setups ten levels before Darkmoor, it was a staple at the time of its release, replacing Waterworks gear for those lucky enough to snag it (though there were a fair number of Waterworks holdouts).

Hades the Unseen

Hades is fought alongside a more powerful version of Zeus and Poseidon at the end of Tartarus, a dungeon designed for wizards level 90+. It is a four-fight dungeon (five if you mess up the urn puzzle or more if you accidentally get pulled by some of the mobs) with some stunning environments and challenging enemies. Tartarus costs 3,995 crowns to access, or you can rent the zone for 6 hours for 695 crowns. Hades has a boss chest that scales at 75 crowns per reward rather than the usual 50. Like with the Waterworks dungeon, you will only get Hades drops (including from his chest) for your wizard's school.

Gear Appearance

Hades' gear has a unique look that's pretty cool, despite not looking quite like what Hades actually wears. One of the most interesting pieces is the hat. The horns point forwards on the male gear and curve backwards on the female gear. Hades also drops a staff for each school.

Balance Hades Gear

Hades drops two sets: one offensive and one defensive. Check out the options for level 90+ Balance wizards.

Death Hades Gear

Fire Hades Gear

Ice Hades Gear

Hades drops two sets: one offensive and one defensive. Check out the options for level 90+ Ice wizards.

Life Hades Gear

Hades drops two sets: one offensive and one defensive. Check out the options for level 90+ Life wizards.

Myth Hades Gear

Storm Hades Gear

Hades drops two sets: one offensive and one defensive. Check out the options for level 90+ Storm wizards.

Hades Wands

Here are the wands that Hades drops - one for each school. They offer piercing, universal critical, and school-specific critical. Ice is a little different and offers block instead of pierce. These wands are also dropped by Cronus in Tartarus. (Feel free to click these images to enlarge them.)

Exalted Amulets & Amulet of Divine Influence

The other items of note dropped by Hades specifically in Tartarus (which is notable because it means they do drop from his chest) are exalted amulets and the Amulet of Divine Influence. Exalted amulets are essentially upgraded mastery amulets. The Amulet of Divine Influence was the best amulet available at the time, and is still a very good option for any wizard. These exalted amulets (not the Amulet of Divine influence) are also dropped by Gladiator Dimecharus in Mount Olympus, the Sand Squid in Atlantea, and Cronus in Tartarus. (Feel free to click these images to enlarge them.)

Why They Matter

Over the course of this month, I'll be doing a sort of "Significant Gear Series" that covers the most important sets and items that have defined where wizards farm, how they build their setups, and more. This will be an opportunity to compare stats and discuss structure. We'll cover everything from Waterworks to Darkmoor to some of the more recent sets. In the future, we may go further back.

Hades gear was another set that was generally considered the best available. But at level 90, Tartarus was still a fairly difficult dungeon. Waterworks, which still offered great gear, was much easier 30 levels later (as Tartarus is now at level 130). But Hades gear did something that Waterworks didn't - it gave options . Now, you didn't have to get exactly the piece you wanted. You could get the other robe and be okay. They are very close in terms of stats and one can be used in place of the other. Alternatively, if you farm a lot and got all of your gear, you could choose . Do I want to pursue a more offensive or defensive setup? Again, the options are pretty close, but there are some differences.

This would be emulated by Malistaire gear ten levels later, which would offer tiers that were all-around pretty good. Plus, you could use your secondary gear piece if you didn't get your Malistaire drops (which was and is incredibly common). Furthermore, after the release of Darkmoor, Hades gear because a sort of alternate option on its own. Even with these newer, level 100 offerings, Hades gear was still a fair set , and if you got a piece of yours while completing the quest in Aquila, you might be inclined to keep it instead of tackling the Graveyard or other dungeons that are still daunting at level 130.

Amulet of divine influence

June 11, 2014 October 15, 2022

What is Farming in Wizard101? It’s an end-game activity to keep top level players busy while waiting on new content. You fight the same boss over and over until they eventually drop the gear you want from them.

Farming is a necessity to be competitive in PvP, and it will make your life a great deal easier in PvE. The problem is that many people are doing it wrong. This article will explain why, and offer some advice on becoming a happier Wizard.

These amulets were often adorned with symbols and images representing the specific deity or power they were associated with. In many religious practices, amulets of divine influence are seen as conduits between individuals and higher powers. They are believed to enhance one's spiritual connection and serve as a gateway to receiving blessings, guidance, and divine intervention.

Why Do We Farm?

There are two main motivations for farming in Wizard101. Understanding why you farm is the first step in deciding what you should invest your game-time doing.

Best Gear/Bragging Rights/Cosmetics

The first group of people who grind bosses for gear are doing it because they want the absolute best, or best looking gear available. These are generally fully leveled, sometimes hardcore players who want the challenge of the hardest bosses and want the most “perfect” gear possible. They understand that they don’t need this gear, but they want it.

I want to make this very clear: If you’re one of these players, this article is not for you.

These players are the primary reason that farming content gets released. It pushes them to the limits of their skill and patience with tough bosses and low drop rates, and keeps them busy between the content updates that they burn through in a few days.

In Need of Good Gear

The second group of players are just trying to get the gear they need. Either to get through content, or to compete in PvP. I think that this type of player is far more common, but many of them end up grinding for perfect gear anyway. Why? Because gear in Wizard101 is confusing, and it’s easy to assume that new is better, and it’s hard to ignore the hardcore players when they talk about the “best” gear.

I think that many of these players are being pushed away from the game because they don’t have the time or patience to continue farming for “amazing” gear. They feel it’s too much to keep up with, and they’re right. Much of the gear players think they need is very hard to get.

But the truth is that they don’t need this gear 99% of the time . Many players are being frustrated by this misconception.

It is believed that wearing or carrying such an amulet can create a sense of harmony and alignment with the divine forces, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Amulets of divine influence can vary in form and material. They may be made from precious metals, gemstones, or other materials believed to possess spiritual properties. Some amulets may incorporate specific symbols or sacred texts representing the teachings or beliefs of a particular religion or spiritual path. Although the belief in amulets of divine influence is primarily rooted in spirituality and personal faith, many individuals find comfort and solace in wearing or carrying these objects. They see them as a tangible representation of their devotion and connection to a higher power. Whether it be for protection, guidance, or simply to feel closer to the divine, the amulet of divine influence holds significant meaning for many people seeking a deeper spiritual connection..
