In today's blog, we release an in depth wizard101 storm PvE gear guide in 2021!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
➣ 1,440 alchemical extract, 240 alchemical salts, 24 alchemical crystals if you're starting from scratch ➣ A ton of gold because your pet might fail a lot when it comes to hatching ➣ Visionary Crafting Rank ➣ (More of what you need to know) There are 2 sets in this guide, the Fossil Skullcrusher and the Dragoons set ➣ Dedication, time, and patience - You need to be dedicated, preserve your time and be patient because some drops are harder than others, it's not all easy to get
Dragoon's Shocking Helm is must have for 130+ Storms. There are no better alternatives for this hat. The hat offers great shadow pip (+14), power pip chance (+13) as well as accuracy, pierce, a ton of critical, and damage. There is also a Mass Storm Trap card given, 2 of them when wearing this helmet. One of the best parts about the hat is obviously the set itself, it gives a bonus which you will need to reach the best stats possible for a max level storm. Keep in mind this is a PvE guide, we want to get the most damage as possible especially if the school is storm.
RECIPE
If you DO have the Vanguard's Shocking Helm then you only need...
➣ 300 Alchemical Extract ➣ 50 Alchemical Salts ➣ 5 Alchemical Crystals
If you DON'T have the Vanguard's Shocking Helm then you need...
➣ 480 Alchemical Extract ➣ 80 Alchemical Salts ➣ 8 Alchemical Crystals
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
DROP LOCATION: Malistare's Cloak Of Flux can ONLY be obtained by Malistare the Undying (Shadow) which is the final boss in the last dungeon of Darkmoor
Storm is known for fizzling often, this robe absolutely decreases the chances of that happening by giving +25% accuracy which is really nice. It gives great damage, as well as resistance which is highly crucial since storm doesn't have a lot of health, resistance is vital. A big con is the health but thats to be expected when you're storm. Its also level 100+ meaning you could get it at level 100 and never have to worry about switching robes ever again up to 140.
ALTERNATIVE(S): Turquoise Eagle Rainment (Don't recommend)
DROP LOCATION: Dragoon's Shocking Boots can ONLY be obtained by Zasha EmberForge (Crafting)
Hands down the best boots for storm for 130+ in the game. It gives high health, resist, lot of damage and shadow pips. This is the most, if not one of the most unique pieces in this gear set because it offers the highest damage and 2 boot cards. One is a sharpened blade and the other it potent trap and you can stack these, making it very useful in the Catocombs and every other place in general.

ALTERNATIVE(S): None
This is where the Fossil Warriors Set comes into play because you will need the wand for the bonuses. Fossil Warrior's Skullcrusher offers +13% Shadow pip rating, 22 storm damage, +240 power pip conversion and a square socket (only mentioning the most vital info for storm). A great part about the wand is its a maycast wand which gives leafstorm (life spell). Leafstorm is basically a life version of sandstorm for those who don't know what leafstorm is.
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
There is no better athame than the Aphrodite's Storm Of Thorns. It grants a max of 18 damage with four sockets, two of them being circle sockets. Those circle sockets can help increase critical if you put critical jewels on them, you also have a triangle socket for power pip chance or accuracy and a socket for health. It also offers 10% power pip chance already on the athame along with little amounts of blocks to spiritual schools (Myth, Life, Death), has terrible health but the rest make up for it.
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
Dragoon's Shocking Charm may not have any damage at all or have that powerful feeling but it actually does. It offers decent amount of health, little bit of resist so many tend to think its not worth it but the charm is actually extremely useful and a must have because it gives the extra damage for set bonus on the dragoon set and offers an amazing card. Two Squall Wyvern Cards, Squall Wyvern is a four pip sell that does 715-755 damage. Its absolutely insane and amazing damage for the low amount of pips.

ALTERNATIVE(S): None
➣ Heidi ➣ Judge Veg ➣ Uwe ➣ The Bundozer
Executive Insulated Ring offers an insane amount of damage for a ring which is the main reason why every storm should get this ring. It offers a bit of critical, not a lot of health but thats to be expected. There is also two square sockets which you can simply pay 200 crowns to remove or if you have a legendary socket wrench, either works. According to our extensive research and personal play, we believe Uwe is the boss to go for to get the Executive insulated ring fast.
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
As mentioned in the beginning, there are two sets and this is the final piece needed to get that +6 damage for Fossil Warriors Set. You simply need to have all damage talents and mighty socketed or quad damage with mighty as a talent trained and another damage socketed as shown in the image. It does give a card, but not a useful or relevant card to storm. If you don't have this pet or the wand, either one, you won't be able to get the +6 damage bonus from the set.
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
Three extra damage isn't a big deal but if you really want the highest damage possible, then you will need the Storm Ghulture. The Super Ghulture Hoard Pack is the best when trying to get the mount, its chances are obviously increased and it has been shown that many have gotten at least 1-2 mounts from it. The mount only offers 3 storm damage, not universal damage.
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
Stormy Paradox gives good amount of copies, little bit of health and good critical percentage. It also gives +1 pip which is vital for a deck, you want that extra pip when you start off in any battle. It also has a socket, in my case I put a 13% accuracy jewel on it, but you can put whatever. I just want to double my chances of not fizzling since a lot of bosses in Empyrea and Karamelle try to make you fizzle with some sort of cheat.
ALTERNATIVE(S): None
Storm is an offensive school, its designed to deal a ton of damage. This gear setup ensures that you reach the highest damage possible for a max 140 storm. You gain good resist, decent health and some very nice cards along with the setup such as Squall Wyvern, Potent Trap and the Sharpened Blade. When it comes to PvE, you want the best of the best so keep in the mind, 90% of the time there won't be good or better alternatives.
