Welcome to 2025 and to another Zone of the Month! Randomness this month has brought us all the way back to Marleybone and one of my favorite TV Show puns from Wizard101.
~~
Name: Knight's Court
Location: Marleybone -- Once you exit the gate to Marleybone, you head to the left over to Scotland Yard. Take the elevator to the roof and head straight back past your good friend Watson and on into Knight's Court.
Description: Knight's Court is a maze of rooftops where you'll encounter the standard fare Marleybone's Prowlers, Scratchers, and Street Sweepers. What makes Knight's Court stand out, however, is the presence of trolls and spiders as well! The main centerpiece of this zone is a large tower with clockwork gears called the Knight's Tower, wherein you're sure to encounter a sneaky scratcher named Jacques.
Cost: 1,200 Crowns -- this is the only zone you'll receive for your purchase.
Zeke Item: Marleybone is all about Stray Cats, and you'll find one in Knight's Court just hiding off to the side of the grand Knight's Tower.
Chests: While I haven't found any silver chests, you certainly can find a wooden chest or two in Knight's Court. Final Bastion also notes you can find the new Multiplayer Cantrip Chests there as well.
Secrets: Possibly the best secret found in Knight's Court comes from a book inside Knight's Tower. Henry Wellingbrook gives a wonderful quest that helps you unravel the history of Marleybone. A juicy piece of lore comes from this book, which reveals that a Marleybonian by the name of Herold Digmoore read a line of ancient magical text that transported him to Wizard City and led to the discovery that Marleybone was actually a part of the Spiral.
Reagents: Any old-school Wizard101 player can tell you that Marleybone is the best place to find random Scrap Metal for your crafting projects! Knight's Court is a great place for that and all your standard stone block and mistwood needs.
Fishing: Unfortunately you won't find any fishing holes on top of the rooftops in Knight's Court. You will find a few fish bones lying around as scenery though! I bet those scratchers would love for you to bring them a catfish or two.
Teleporters: OF COURSE there are teleporters! Marleybone is one of the birthplaces of those handy zone teleporters after all. You can find the hub near the Knight Tower and it's connections take you to Beeman's Warehouse, Brick's Warehouse, Amy Brooks' Place, and back to Scotland Yard.
What's the 4-1-1? Watson has a hot lead while on your quest to find Meowiarty. A nefarious criminal by the name of Jacques the Scratcher has been scratching up the citizens of Knight's Court. Watson sends you to talk to Sergeant Steeg who directs you to help Linda Milltop, a recent victim of the scratcher's scratching.
While in Knight's Court, you'll fight Jacques twice and uncover clues about this mysterious scratcher.: a black bag, a glove. Can you uncover Jacques's identity and stop these horrible scratchings? Of course you can! Go make Steeg and Watson proud!
Who's that Boss? In addition to Jacques, you'll also be able to fight Mickey the Brick, the Black Widow, and even a Daily Quest boss named Jordyn Malniz! Farming Mickey may yield up a couple of rarer housing items such as the Square Metal Platform and Silver Chest. Farming the Black Widow can get you a set of Widow's armor or even a black widow pet. Farming Jacques could get you some of his special armor or maybe one of those cool-looking frog street sweepers as a pet.
Don't Miss this Sidequest! There are a couple great sidequests in Knight's Court. One involves chatting up all the ladies in the zone who are busy getting ready for the big Policeman's Ball. For completing this questline you'll receive a cool airship photo housing item as a reward. The other quest involves messing with trolls and eventually confronting the Black Widow boss, a farmable boss with some interesting loot. Both are a lot of fun!
