If KI EVER patches the Winterbane respawn they’re gonna have a straight up revolt on their hands… but I gotta say I’m really loving the most recent Forbidden Library gauntlet for all the fun puzzles and stuff. Which gauntlets on this list are your favs? And which ones do you regret buying?
I'm still waiting for them to allow you to set your gauntlets to public in housing tours. They try so hard to force people to be friends to use them but i just want to create a space for free gauntlets to those less able to buy them. Having that level of freedom in that i can decide who uses my housing items just feels like it should already be a thing.
@02Resurrect funny enough it wouldn't. People can already glitch housing tours and it's easy to do. People do so regularly. Yes they might see fewer sales of gauntlets but quality of life means more subs and a larger player base. Meaning they make money on these decisions. Believe they call it penny wise, pound foolish.
@@02Resurrect am I the only one that knows this used to be a feature?? Around 10 years ago this used to be the case.. everyone went to a specific death house that had all the gauntlets that anyone could farm for free.
That Pigsie resident evil 4 reference with the dealer earned you a sub, Informative yet funny video, helped me decide on a bundle to buy (Forbidden Library) though one thing I wish I knew was the tiers of each one only drop x level gear, (50 for tier 1, 100 for tier 2, and 170 for tier 3) either way was happy for it, and I love the Voice Acting in the cheats,
@@Zaepha I think it's one of those things that you either love it, or ignore it :P But it is a big deal for those collectors when a gauntlet comes out because not only are there potentially creatures to extract, but multiples of them - one for each tier of the gauntlet. Gotta catch 'em all, ya know!
Great video! Ended up buying the Unforgiven Dead gauntlet with the holiday mystery discount. Still don’t know if it’s worth that much money, but having more crowns never hurts.
You talking about the "ultra" rare wand makes me have veitnam flashbacks of when people did not get their crowns back with the exception of a few people including Blaze LifeHammer. On top of that some people got banned for asking for a refound of their crowns, "fun times". 😑🙄
hi! just wanted to say thank you for your content. One day I hope to play w101 as much as i did as a kid (I loved it sm it was a huge hyperfixation...no wonder my mom hated it lol) when i am doing better financially and its thanks to your channel i get my w101 fix and news :)
Hey Zaepha! Since you brought attention to it, Andreux Lagniappe is an exaggerated New Orleans French Cajun spelling, given the theme of the gauntlet. It’s pronounced “Andrew Lanyap.” Funnily enough, “lagniappe” is Cajun slang for “something extra,” hence why he is the one you can buy the extra gear from. While “EUX” is pronounced “EW,” the spelling “EAUX” is a hard “O” sound. So the final boss, Dr. Neaux is pronounced “Dr. No,” like the villain from the Bond films. Just thought this would be fun to share. Thanks for the awesome video!
Grand Tourney 10/10 my favorite I run it always with one friend who loves it as well and its her favorite it has a insane mega snack per time taken rate and so fast to complete and very easy Really good source of snacks my favorite of all and I own all like you do 😺 my least favorite is Night mire gauntlet Zaepha videos are auto like for me you are the best
love to see gauntlet related content i've been collecting all them sense i was a kid, currently my top gauntlets i like is the forbidden libary, grand tourney & the unforgiven dead for the drops
update: winterbane also has a rare chance of dropping a set pet: it could be patched out, or still there but: on axel breaker, if you beat him, he'll drop you a krokotopian life troll, part of a set.
I havent played wiz in a while but ive been wayching some videos of it recently and i remeber buying the cuckoo clock bundle but never remeber haveing the guantlet. I then went on my account and found it on a random level 9 wizard that i dont remeber doing anything with lol. time to farm it ig
I have the Midnight Sun Pagoda since I was little. I loved it xD I even brought it over to my new main since I restarted W101 recently lol Now trying to figure out what I should do lol I’m a Death Wiz and mainly “free” to play.
You forgot to mention that some of these gear drops from the gauntlets are tier locked. Meaning you can only get them from specific tiers. Not only that the Accursed Play Guantlet drops the faithful dragoness mount albeit at tier 1.
The wiki only records macdeath dropping the temp version of the faithful dragoness mount, not the perm one. He also drops a temp dark redwing mount but again, neither are perms.
If you want a less expensive critical option at low levels I’d also recommend getting a few critical talents on a pet since that’s a lot less than paying $40 for gear you’ll soon outgrow 😉
I doubt you got 28 items from 70 runs. If you said 5 from 100 runs I'd believe you(maybe) but a 40% drop rate, yeah you telling lies. your nose can be seen from New York to California.
@@brazil-y2y Btw who in their right mind would lie about such inconsequential and insignificant information? Like, is there something to gain here? You need some help my friend, please take a step back and calm down.
@@NaughtyNina1240 Anyone who has played this game for any significant amount of time, knows that KI doesn't like high drop rates and gauntlets have Notoriously low drop rates. It's mathematically impossible that you got so many items. Maybe you meant to type 700 runs not 70? That would be more believable
Hi,Zaepha.Thank you very much for the guide. I need to confirm one thing before purchasing the gauntlets. Is Night Mire gauntlet the only one that drops both Elemental and Spiritual Retriever Talent Tokens?
Honestly I don't think any gauntlet is worth buying for $40. At $20 on sale some if you want the mount/gear sure. I'm lucky a friend buys most gauntlets but really they offer little value, good drops are so rare. If they were value for money why would KI be making that new event with gauntlets? Because most with more sense than money don't waste $40 on gauntlets that they use only a few times
I have a lot of daily-reward housing items called Duels that look like this (the entrance to a boss or dungeon), but I suspect that they're not the same as "gauntlets." Is that right?
You probably have what are called one shot challenge duels that can drop from bosses or be bought in the crowns shop. Those are “one shot” in that they can only be used once before going away and they’re usually just one fight, not a full dungeon like the gauntlets are. Here’s an example of one: wiki.wizard101central.com/wiki/House:Rattlebones_Exalted_Duel
I did so many fights got no gear, i am 170. So i scaled my level to 100 from morganthe scales and still nothing. Whats going on? Actually I am noticing some terrible drops in all of these gaunlets. Please advise
how do u craft the craftable gauntlets? like, i know i first need the mats, but how do i get the recipe? sry if this is a dumb question, new player here xD

Forbidden library definitely seems well worth it
@@Zaepha only gauntlet i have is the grand tourney, pretty good imo, energy great and 1-2 mega snacks per run with each run being about 7-8 minutes

100% agree!
I definitely wish they would do this, but from a business standpoint they would never do something that would make them lose money

Crazy that i was just looking up this question yesterday and everything i found was 2 years old
Thanks a bunch!
I figured the community needed an updated guide 😁
Great video. Only thing I would add would be for the avid monstrologists that there are extractable creatures in almost every gauntlet.
Thanks, Genevieve! One of these days I’ll have to properly dive into monstrology as a topic! ❤️

Thanks to your video, I was able to get the Loch and Key Blade. Cost me some money but got it after 285 times in Tier 1. Totally worth it in my eyes.

love to see gauntlet related content i've been collecting all them sense i was a kid, currently my top gauntlets i like is the forbidden libary, grand tourney & the unforgiven dead for the drops
@@RandomLocus how much were they??
@@iamhuman2000 not sure the exact amount but i bought every bundle i think each was like 40$
@@RandomLocus which ones are worth it in your opinion??
@ unforgiven dead,great train robbery,winterbane, midnight sun pagoda, spiral cup, grand tourney
Awesome video. Please keep up the uploads.
Great video as always 💜
keep up the content i love the work you put in
super helpful video i was wondering what drops from all of these gauntlets
Thanks! Happy to help! 😊

Interesting. Is there any documentation of that somewhere? The wiki doesn’t have any record of a pet like that dropping from him at any tier.
that mercy cosplay is giving me ptsd with the amount of times ive seen it around the spiral

Ok that Budget mercy line got me lol
If you buy the Sun Pagoda when you're low level the gear gives critical. It'd fun to be level 20 and fight with critical.
If you want a less expensive critical option at low levels I’d also recommend getting a few critical talents on a pet since that’s a lot less than paying $40 for gear you’ll soon outgrow 😉
having a crit talent in a pet is the better route since you literally only need 1 talent to crit on low levels with how currently critical is.
@Zaepha I agree 100% however I am not good at making useful pets. Wish I was but it seems to be my Achilles heel!
average incredible video from the goat
I've farmed grand tourney 70 times for energy gear. The drops seem to follow pack logic and rarity. Got 17 energy boots, 10 hats and 1 robe.
I doubt you got 28 items from 70 runs. If you said 5 from 100 runs I'd believe you(maybe) but a 40% drop rate, yeah you telling lies. your nose can be seen from New York to California.

Hi,Zaepha.Thank you very much for the guide. I need to confirm one thing before purchasing the gauntlets. Is Night Mire gauntlet the only one that drops both Elemental and Spiritual Retriever Talent Tokens?
No, the Night Mire, Unforgiven Dead, and Doomsday Krok gauntlets ALL have bosses that drop both retriever tokens.

I did so many fights got no gear, i am 170. So i scaled my level to 100 from morganthe scales and still nothing. Whats going on? Actually I am noticing some terrible drops in all of these gaunlets. Please advise
lol wiz drops are absolutely terrible. its all luck u may get some early or spend tens of hours farming.

I am just getting back into w101 and I think I have like 1 or 2 gauntlets but are they worth doing as a level 50 death?
Depends on the gauntlet but at 56 you can craft Wintertusk gear or farm Waterworks at 60. So probably not unless you membership runs out.
Didn’t pagoda drop goat monk and other spells back in the day??
I think you might be mixing it up with some of the old bosses in Mooshu that dropped spells. Like the boss Zaneki in Shirataki Temple used to drop Goat Monk but no longer does.
Is it worth to buy at low level any gauntlet like level 30?
I would say yes. You can use it over and over again all the way to max level.
I would love to say a hard pause on a few. But i already bought them a long time ago. Im fricked
let's be friend bro i'm poor af and need some free 30+ snacks lmao
:D
