Wizard101 Yule Logger Pack Review

The Yule Logger Pack made it debut in the Crown Shop last December, but it's back now for Christmas in July What better time for a review? There are a variety of new items to collect, including a four-person mount and some exciting new energy gear! Check out everything that the Yule Logger Pack has to offer!

Yule Logger Pack: What's Inside

The Yule Logger pack is full of Christmas goodies with some new items for any wizard who's always wanted to be... a lumberjack. If you're into fishing, gardening, or training pets, the energy gear from this pack could be worth having. There's also the new four-person Toboggan mount, the gingerbread pets, and spellements to upgrade some of the winter Loremaster spells!

Toboggan Mount

There's are too many mounts that carry four people, and this one is appropriately themed for the holidays, or any snowy situation where you and your friends could use some group transportation. It gives the standard 40% speed boost.

Gingerbread Pets

This is a first in a pack - recycled pets. The three gingerbread pets that are available from the pack are also available from the Yuletide Gingerbread Pack. Outside of those, there are no new pets offered.

Woodland Gear

Here's where things start to get interesting! In addition to some decent hats and boots, there's also some great energy gear from this pack. Despite one set being dedicated to energy, every school is represented in the gear stats, which is great. Check out the sets below!

*Note that each gear piece offers two copies of the card, except the Alpine Hunter Flannel, which offers one Triage and one Mass Triage.

Axe Wands

While these wands don't include any piercing, they do have some top-notch damage along with critical and pip conversion. Plus, they look pretty cool. If you're looking for the energy gear, the Alpine Hunter Axe is one of the very best options out there.


*Note that the cards displayed are may casts on the wands.

Spellements & Other Items

This is the first pack to include spellements. They'll allow you to upgrade your trained Krampus and Reindeer Knight spells, which is pretty cool. Of course, if you don't have or use those spells, they'll join the countless other holidays decorations, snacks, and treasure cards as filler items.

Pack Analysis

This pack seems to have a fair chance at the new stuff, with new items showing up in a variety of slots whereas in some pacts, you could only get one or two new items per pack in particular packs. That said, the filler content doesn't include much worth having outside of the spellements, and that makes this a pack that's pretty bloated with junk.

The Verdict

This pack has a lot of filler items. But instead of just offering spellements as the main event, there are still all of the traditional rewards, including some impressive energy gear! Plus, if you're in a holiday mood, there are plenty of decorations and other goodies for all your holiday needs. However, if you're not in the market for energy gear, this pack doesn't offer a whole lot that you need.

The pack is currently on sale in the Crown Shop for 199 crowns, so if it's something you're interested in, now is the time to check it out! The Yule Logger Pack will soon be leaving the Crown Shop until this December.
