Karamelle Souvenirs Pack Review | Wizard101
Wizard101's latest pack is out now - the Karamelle Souvenirs Pack has a bunch
of goodies from the game's latest world. On top of gummy bunny mounts and
brand new lederhosen gear, you'll find new Karamelle furniture items. Check
out everything you can get from this pack!
At the usual price of 399 crowns, the Karamelle Souvenirs Pack offers the
usual variety of items - three new mounts, three new gear sets, and three
new wands. On top of that, it's got a bunch of miscellaneous filler items,
but at least some of those are new housing items from around the world of
Karamelle.
Gummy Bunny Mounts
There are three new gummy bunny mounts available from the Karamelle
Souvenirs Pack. They offer the standard 40% speed boost. While these are
cool, they're some of the least original mounts in a pack that I can think
of, period. There have been some mounts in less exciting packs in the past
which used existing models, but even those had new textures, effects, and
overall looks. And most of the best packs have completely unique mounts with
their own models.
Apple Brudel Pets
These Apple Brudel pets are a great Karamelle-themed companion. The difference
between them is a little bit difficult to pick out as the only aesthetic
difference seems to be the color of the apple slices on their back. Again, not
a new model or texture, but a fitting pet for the pack.

Lederhosen Gear
The gear is where we see some new models and textures introduced for the first
time. These gear sets, fitting for Karamelle, offer decent stats overall. I do
think the boots will be something to look at. They offer damage that is
comparable to many other top-tier offerings and some pretty nice resistance.
They do, however, sacrifice power pip chance in favor of accuracy.
Licorice Whip Wands
These weapons are one of the very few whip-style wands available for the game.
In fact, the only other one that comes to mind is the Abyssal Eel Whip. In
fact, there's a glitch where the idle whipping animation on the character
screen will turn the licorice whip into that one. These wands are pretty cool,
though their stats aren't the most impressive.
Gear & Wand Grade: B
The community rates these items as:
Great 11.1% | Good 22.2% | Average 48.1% | Poor 18.5%
Karamelle Furniture & Other Items
When you're not scoring some of the main goodies, don't worry - you won't be
subject to only filler items. There are also a bunch of new furniture items up
for grabs as well. These all come from Karamelle - they're pretty much
directly lifted out of the environments, in fact - and can be used in your
homes.
Other Items Grade: B-
The community rates these items as:
Great 18.2% | Good 31.8% | Average 22.7% | Poor 27.3%
Pack Analysis
The Karamelle Souvenirs Pack has a pretty alright structure which has evolved
a little bit from some past packs. Gear is rolled in the 4th and 7th slots (a
lot of the most notable items tend to appear in those slots) and new furniture
items can appear in any slot, meaning there's always a chance to get something
worthwhile.

Here's the rarity of some of the more notable items in the pack:
- Epic: Permanent Mounts
- Ultra-Rare: Robes, Wands, 7-Day Mounts
- Rare: Hats, Boots, Pets, 1-Day Mounts
- New housing items range from Common to Rare
The Verdict
The structure of the Karamelle Souvenirs Pack is solid and items drop at a
satisfactory rate. The addition of the furniture items and even some shadow
spell TCs makes this a good pack overall. However, pulling mobs directly for
the mounts and pets hurt the overall appeal of the pack in my opinion. If
you're interested in some of the items - primarily for cosmetic purposes -
give it a try!
