Compared to Khyrsalis, Polaris is very easy ... with two notable exceptions.

Baba Yaga is difficult to solo due to cheats and the fact that she summons three powerful minions.

The other is Rasputin, the final boss. He has minions that punish you for healing, trapping, and using blades, plus a time limit that automatically kills you at round 30. Because of the cheats, there are very few wizards capable of doing this battle solo. With a coordinated team who follows the guide posted below, however, he is actually easy to defeat.

The good news is both of these bosses are still somewhat popular for farming, so you hopefully will find someone willing to go in with you.

Polaris is easier then Dragonspyre if you consider what you have to work with at each point! It is by far the easiest new world they have ever released!

Except for a few cheating bosses that requires you to change your entire battle strategy, Polaris is a surprisingly easy world. I only ever needed help for Baba Yaga and Rasputin, but everyone needs help with them.

For death gear, the Darkmoor gear is still great. You need to farm specifically for:

Death Lord's Veil of Woe

Death Lord's Cloak of Woe

Death Lord's Greaves of Woe

Lord of Death's Dragonstaff

These are all dropped by Malistare himself. In the same instance, Yevgeny Nightcreeper drops one of the best athames for wizards: Lord of Death's Razor.

Amulets, it's funny you should mention Morganthe because she also drops a good amulet for wizards as well, Shadow Queen's Grace. She also drops athames as well. The one for death wizards, Mercy of Shadow and Light, gives an extra damage point than Yevgeny's athame but it doesn't have incoming health boosts, only outgoing. I suggest this blade if you like being the healer.

Now for the ring, it's a bit of a toss up. You could either farm for Aphrodite II's ring in the Graveyard skeleton key room, Lord of Death's Coil or farm Gladiator Dimachares in the secret room in Mount Olympus for the Alpha and Omega Ring.The Alpha and Omega ring is slightly weaker in terms of damage but it has universal critical block rather than critical block in only life and myth.

Morganthe's boss battle isn't really something you can do by yourself, especially as a death wizard because the Death version of Morganthe removes prisms and places a DOT on herself, removing all traps. Get a full team of players (everyone farms her for the amulet, so it won't be hard to get one) and just do you...unless you is doing global spells. It triggers the Storm Morganthe's cheat.

Aaaaaaaaaand I think that's it. Good luck!
