Best Death Gear (Level 130+) | Wizard101 (2024)

Krokopatra's hat is still the best options for level 130+ wizards who want as balanced and multi-purpose of a setup as possible. Farming requires giving up the opportunity to get any other Darkmoor gear, but for those who despise the Graveyard, this is not just great alternative, it also may be a better hat for you anyway..

This piece of gear, in my opinion, falls slightly behind Krokopatra's hat, but either is a solid choice. This Darkmoor staple is still one of the most well-rounded pieces of gear available and best overall options for your wizard. Although the Deathly Paradox Conical adds 10% damage (and may be superior if you're looking for a more aggressive setup), the sacrifice of 13% resistance could hardly be justified in a number of situations and the additional piercing on this item has become more important than ever with enemies having additional resistance and access to shields.

A well-balanced setup requires just that - balance. But sometimes the offensive capabilities of a hat are good enough that they warrant making an exception. Although this hat does not offer any resistance, its damage is 9-10% higher than the other top options. This hat can be farmed in a relatively easy dungeon that's currently a hot spot for farming. It's a great hat for hammers or anyone who doesn't mind losing some significant resistance for the extra damage.

So you're willing to do parts of Darkmoor, but maybe you don't want to farm the Graveyard. This could be the hat for you. If you're not into farming any of the major bosses for the top-tier gear, this is a good alternative.

Farming Corporal Tenni'syn can be a challenge, especially if you're just teaming up. That said, if you're willing to complete this fight (and save yourself from Darkmoor), you'll end up with what I think is the best robe available. It has the most health of any of the top four options, solid power pip chance, ties for the best resistance of the four, has the best critical and damage, and gives 2% shadow pip chance.

This is a great choice if you aren't up for some of the tougher battles required to get Tenni'syn robe. Exalted Rattlebones isn't a particularly tough fight and it shouldn't be too hard to find people willing to run given that the challenge often provides worthwhile rewards. This robe just beats out Malistaire's in my opinion, but they're both great options.

This is a really close call between Malistaire's robe and the Exalted Rattlebones robe. You could really go for either one. The Rattlebones robe is slightly better, though this could be a superior choice if you need other Darkmoor gear anyway that you might get from farming the Graveyard.

If you've run the Graveyard a million times with no luck on your tier one robe, this is a fine alternative, though not quite as good as any of the top three robes. Still, the balanced stats from this gear remain to be a great option of a list of robes that hasn't changed much since the newer trend of defensive robe stats.

These incredible boots have resistance close to Malistaire's boots, but much more damage and over 500 more health! It's amazing how far boots have come. The nice thing about these, outside of the fact that they drop at a fairly easy boss which everyone is teaming up for, is that you can craft an alternative. If you don't have much luck farming, you can craft the Alphoi Warrior Boots with identical stats.

These boots are a really close second to the Deathly Paradox Boots. If you pick these up during your travels or want to try somewhere new to farm, these could be the boots for you.

The Fantastic Fairytale Bundle has really had some great gear surprises. These boots are no exception. They add five percent resistance over even the Paradox boots, at the cost of 5% damage. That said, you'll gear increased critical chance and health, plus your stats are universal if you happen to be using a mastery amulet or using attacks from another school. This is a good option for any wizard, but especially one that doesn't want to farm bosses for a solid pair of boots.

While these boots sacrifice power pip chance, the impressive damage along with some higher resistance makes them a great option, especially if you're okay on power pip chance already. These can easily rival even the Paradox boots and may be a better option for you.

This weapon's incredible damage bonus brings it to the top of the charts. This wand has universal damage and critical, plus pip conversion and a cool may-cast ability.

Although sacrificing some damage and critical, this weapon comes with piercing, which is a particularly good stat, especially lately with expanding boss resistances and increased shield use. Then there's the bonus energy and fishing luck built in. And let's not forget that this wand is crafted, which means you can avoid purchasing packs or farming tough bosses.

This weapon is one of the more balanced options for your wizard, providing solid critical and block as well as piercing. Its damage is lower, however.

This wand is a good alternative to the Deathmetal Skull and another more balanced option for your wizard. It has been a staple since its initial release around level 100!

The Darkmoor and Morganthe athames are still the best ones available in the game, and by quite a stretch compared to any newer athame. Either one works, but I find Yevgeny's to come out ahead of Morganthe's because its universal damage allows for more flexibility with types of attacks and the rests of its stats are either superior or comparable to Morganthe's athame.

If you don't pick up your athame from Darkmoor, Morganthe is a popular farming spot where you should absolutely be able to successfully team up and complete the fight in a reasonable about of time. Plus, Morganthe is a great place to pick up a few other accessories, too.

Venture into Tartarus for this athame! Cronus is kind of a fun side boss in the dungeon that doesn't require completing any other fights to battle. The Blade of the Felled Titan is an item that could be useful for multiple wizards and is available several levels before either the Darkmoor or Morganthe athame.

Moving up on the list, this athame offers more of a stat which is in high demand in most builds today - damage. Unlike newer athames, Aphrodite's still offers power pip chance plus higher damage than even the Paradox athame drop.

Morganthe is a great place to farm for accessories, and at level 130, it shouldn't be too difficult of a battle. The stats are competitive with or superior to the Amulet of Divine Influence and the cards provided are something you can actually use.

If you're in Tartarus and farming for other gear, keep an eye out for the Amulet of Divine Influence. It's a worthy substitute for Morganthe's amulet and remains to be a pretty rare item.

Note that this amulet only drops from Shane von Shane in the Upper Halls, so here's your chance to avoid farming the Graveyard! This amulet also has more piercing that any of the others, so if that's what you're after, this might be the choice for you.

This amulet drops from a number of Darkmoor bosses, meaning you have a chance to get it in just about any dungeon that you farm. If you haven't picked up any of the other top amulets and you have this one from your travels through Darkmoor, it's still a good choice.

This level 100+ ring remains to be the reigning champion of rings, even 30 levels later. While some newer rings offer critical, this one offers the best damage available for Death wizards, solid stats overall, and good power pip chance. It can be a tougher place to farm than some of the other spots, but it could mean getting the best ring available for your wizard.

Morganthe is the accessory hot-spot, and this is one more thing you can cross off your list from a battle that's very manageable, even using Team Up! Despite a few points of damage sacrificed, its otherwise superior stats and additional jewel slot make it a great ring option.

For level 86, this ring has fantastic stats and offers an additional jewel slot compared to the Alpha and Omega ring. Plus, it's dropped a lot more places, meaning you can change up your farming location if you get bored.

You should still be able to find people farming for this ring. It's one of the earliest available on the list, requiring only level 90 and remaining to be a solid choice up through level 130. Like the number one choice from Aphrodite, this ring's damage is universal, meaning it could work well for a setup with a mastery amulet.

The Rat and Scorpion battle is a lot of fun and there are likely plenty of people still farming, so feel free to jump in on that and try for the best deck available for Death wizards! Alternatively, you could snag it from the Titan's Trident Chest after the big battle.

If you're looking to change up your farming or avoid those Husk bosses, Admiral Dynt and some of the other bosses that drop this very close second deck are quite a bit easier and you'll lose almost nothing in terms of stats.

If you still have your deck from Omen, there's really no need to farm one of the newer ones for the tiniest bit of extra health. If you don't and you have other items you're hoping to win from Omen, he might be the spot to farm!

The nice thing about this set of three decks is that it's the only one in the top four to offer you a choice of jewel slots. A lot of people prefer the triangle slot on a deck, so it has been used on the newer decks and is what's shown where there are options. Rasputin can be a tougher battle on this list (even compared to both him and the Scorpion in Empyrea) but you've got a chance to pick up all kinds of gear!

Wizards can improve on many of the other 2% damage mounts with this 3% damage Ghulture from the same pack!

This Ghulture gives 2% universal damage (and can be swapped out for several equivalent mounts including the Battle Havox and Battle Narwhal) and is a close second mount option.

If you have either the Cuckoo Clock Gauntlet or the Avalon Outlaw's Bundle, you're in good shape for your 2% universal piercing bonus!

It never hurts to be a little more accurate. If you don't have any of the other mounts or could use a little bonus to push you up to 100% accuracy, this could be the mount option for you.
