Many citizens of the different worlds of the spiral need your help. So as you progress on your journey, make sure you interact with as many individuals as possible. They will offer you quests – sometimes complex and often dangerous tasks.
NPCS
Yellow Exclamation Point – This character has a quest available for you. Walk up to him or her, type “X,” or left click to talk and receive your instructions. You can see a picture of this on the next page.
Gray Question Mark – You are currently working on a quest for this character. The quest will appear in your quest log, which you can access through the menu, or by pushing ‘Q’. The box in your log tells you where to go to complete the task, what your task is, the rewards for completing the quest, and tracks your progression.
Yellow Question Mark – You have completed the quest for this character and simply need to talk to them to finish it and receive your reward.
Doors
Blue Window Light – You have a quest objective or character in the building/structure and can enter.
Yellow Window Light – You can enter this building/structure.
No Window Light – You cannot enter this building/structure.
Instances
Instances are personal dungeons. They must be completed to get full credit. Logging out, leaving through the instance entrance, or going to another instance will reset the instance you started. Leaving any other way gives you 30 minutes to return before it resets. Up to four people at a time can be in an instance.
You can tell that an area is instanced if there are four small blue circles in front of a door or structure. These are called Sigils. To enter this area, simply walk up to the blue circles, push ‘X’, and wait for the countdown to finish. You can also enter instanced areas with up to four players. To do so, you all have to interact with the circles before the countdown reaches zero.
Gauntlets
Gauntlets are special instances.
First of all there are no sigils and anyone who tries to teleport to you will get the message: That player is busy right now, please try again".
So you are alone.
Second, if you leave a gauntlet for any reason (including dying, fleeing, or logging out) it resets.
Golem Tower is an example of a gauntlet.
Your Quest Journal
You can reach your Quest Journal by pressing Q on your keyboard while you are in Wizard101. (But not when you are in combat!) You will see a book showing your current quests.
Quest History
Clicking on the 'More Info' button (the question mark button in the top left) in a quest panel will open a new window that will show you all the conversations you had that have lead you through the steps of that quest.
If you're not sure where you should go next, consult this panel for more instructions.
The red X returns you to your Quest Panel page.
Quest Rewards
Item Quest Rewards (robes, hats, shoes, rings, necklaces, athames, pets, and decks) will automatically appear in your backpack. You will receive a message above your character's head when you complete the quest and receive the item.
Experience Quest Rewards will add to your current Experience points, which you can view in the bar at the bottom of your screen.
Potion Quest Rewards will show up beside your Health and Mana Vials.
Training Point Quest Rewards will add to your current total of Training Points.
