   Hey there Young Wizard! Not a Member? Still want to explore other zones of Wizard City and the worlds beyond? Well now you can!

While Members can access all zones and content of Wizard101, non-Members can now purchase Premium zones with Crowns. Players can purchase individual zones that they’ve earned access to, through advancement and questing, but were previously blocked from because they were not Members. Firecat Alley and Nightside are examples in Wizard City of these zones.

Each World on the Spiral will have new zones for you to explore. Simply walk up to any street you previously could not access without a Membership and follow the instructions to Buy Premium with Crowns. Once you purchase an zone, you won’t ever need to purchase it again on that account.

Don’t have any crowns? You can buy them easily at Wizard101.com.

Zeke’s Crowns Items can be Purchased with Gold
Zeke here! I’ve gone Spiral Wide!
I’m letting the local shopkeepers in each world sell my goods!

If you have crowns, you can buy items from me, and if you have gold, you can buy the same items at the regular shopkeepers .

Sometimes I get special holiday items in, and those items are not available from the shopkeepers, but you just might find the rare one on a boss creature!

You'll find a new button on your map that will take you to your Dorm room. Use this button whenever you find yourself in an area you do not know how to leave. This is also a quick way to drop items in your storage and get back to the dueling!

  If you're not happy with your pet's name, you can now choose a new name by going to the Dye Shop. You will see a new icon there that will instruct you on how to rename your pet, for a small gold fee.
What - you didn't like Baby Abbey as a pet name?
