Ravenwood Radio has spilled the beans about Celestia :D

I just looked at this awesome post from RR, go to ravenwoodradio.com to learn more! The lady who takes over CL is called Morganthe with her Shadow-weavers. Copied from RR:
Long ago, the ASTRAL WIZARDS OF CELESTIA created powerful magic using the energy of the STARS, the MOON, and the SUN. The sorceress MORGANTHE, a QUEEN of the SHADOW WEB, wanted the secrets of the Celestian magic at... all costs. The Celestians REFUSED her, so she raised a DARK ARMY and sent it against Celestia. After DECADES of battle, the Astral Wizards realized their world would fall. They summoned the STORM TITAN to defeat Morganthe’s legions and to take their world to a place of safety. The Storm Titan betrayed the Celestians by SINKING their world beneath the WAVES along with Morganthe’s invading forces. Realizing they were DOOMED, the Celestians raised mighty DOMES to protect some of their treasured city from the waves, though it was too late! They PERISHED along with MORGANTHE’S invading army. Celestia was lost to the Spiral, its SPIRAL DOOR closed forever. Centuries later, a team of brave explorers from the SPIRAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY, led by SIR THURSTON PLUNKETT, re-discovered Celestia. They landed with an AIR-SHIP and built EXPLORATORY UNDERSEA DOMES to explore Celestia’s ruins. Plunkett and his fellow explorers soon realized that Celestia was now inhabited by a strange new culture... the CRUSTACEAN EMPIRE. Unfortunately, the explorers did not come alone to Celestia. Morganthe’s followers, the SHADOW WEAVERS, stand ready to take Celestia’s magic for their Queen. After receiving the Spiral Geographic Society’s DISTRESS CALL, Headmaster MERLE AMBROSE of the Ravenwood School for Magic seeks any young Wizards brave enough to journey to the undersea world of Celestia and discover the secrets of its LOST MAGIC. What will they find there? Go to the site immediately to see Morganthe's picture, thanks for the huge spoiler Leesha! And just one more thing, I got 2 pets in a row today woot!
First try on the Black Widow today = success as well :). No luck so far after 5 Jacques' fights for his Evil snowman though :P. Happy Farming!

More pictures and Firebat pet!

This is my new blog header! You may have noticed it.

I explored the new "crafted" GH house, awesome Watchtower view!

Splash goes the flying fish
Grizzleheim is awesome to "get away from it all"

Cool storage room inside

Nice view of the house, I like this one more than the Dragon's Fjord ;).
Waterfall!

Plain embarrasing, Gloria Krendell STILL wants me to beat those elves I:


Anyone else notice this? When I was at the dye shop renaming my Leprechaun to Mr. Lucky I noticed "Woah, her name is Darla Whisperwind?"
So I immediately went to Collossus Blvd. Daren is Darla Whisperwind's son! Woah, shouldn't they have told us by now? Daren Whisperwind is the boy who warns you in the 2 Gauntlet of Woes ( The Warehouse and Briskbreeze tower ). "The bosses in here cheat"
WOOT! 2nd try on the Gurtok Barrier Demon in Ravenscar = Success!!! Hatches in 10 more hours...
Hanging at Alric's Storm-pet house. Clapping with Sparky :D.
The rare Fog Unicorn ( not mine, sadly )
Showing the Walk-through-walls glitch in the Drake Hatchery to others...
Now you see me...
Now you don't.
Gotta eat dinner, then I'm going to try for the elusive Temp Hound or Mythzilla in the test realm! ( Hatching orthrus and stormzilla ) I tried once, just got another orthrus, name was King Sam, I promptly sold him ;). Btw I think I'm going to move my party ( again ) to next week when more people are on the Live Realm y'know? Plus I've just been plain busy ;). And sry I'm so addicted to screen-shots xD. Plus TFN has a Ianthine Spectre raffle! I entered as well as 160 others ( so far! ) Hope I get REALLY lucky, but he also has 5,000 gold consolation prizes, Happy Farming!

First RR After-party! ( for me )

Ravenwood Radio was an hour, I have some AWESOME spoilers to share about Celestia...
We got pictures of supposedly the Sun and Lunar teachers. The sun one was like a sister of Falmea and the Lunar was, Oh I can't describe it, watch the show to see it! We also got pictures of the Umbra Queen who looks like she will be the main, last boss there! She was basically a Spider-lady, I guess you could call her Spiderwoman :). When Thurston Plunkett is cut off saying Mor..., it is the Spider-ladies name it seems, I forgot the supposed name. Plus we might swim in Celestia! And there *might* be CL houses according to KI. Watch the show!!! I also heard Friendly's segment, it was a really funny rap about Celestia. And he said he had a horrid singing voice, xD. Then there was the after-party, it was short but awesome, here are some quick screenshots I got:

Me w/Fallon Shadowblade, she was nice enough to make room for me so I could add her, thanks!


THE mob.

Another mob pic, plus you can see Kev Battleblood ( The Chillanthropologist ) who moderated the show with Fallon Deathslinger tonight.

Yet another random mob picture, and lastly...

Piggles are yummy.
I couldn't get a Steven+Leesha picture, the mob wouldn't back up so we all could take pics.
Btw my house-party is tomorrow, I'll start it when I have a lot of friends online :), there is a lot to say but I have to go now, I might actually re-consider doing Estrakir again if I get a band of people who have done it too :D. I also got Alric Ravensinger of The Raven's Vault on my list too, this blog may get more publicity soon :). Personally, I'm still surprised Fallon added a *now* small blog to her friend's list, it was quite an honor and Alric too, like I said, the party was awesome. I might get a snapshot of Steven and Leesha tomorrow if possible, for now: Happy Farming!

More things from the Test realm...

This is mostly pictures of my adventures today,

VERY odd question...


Well, duh...


O: evil tree! Incidentally, I beat him in a couple minutes, I wasn't a fool to disturb him ( all I did was try to ask him a question geez )

Lesson learned, Snorri Oysterbloom ( I'm still wondering if trees DO make a sound if they fall in the forest and no one is around, shoot, I thought I would find out )
Um, good point. Trees probably do make a sound if they fall when no one is around.

Cool! Awesome giant Ice hall place

Is Imric just there for looks? Cryptkeeper is a neat badge
My new look from the Bazaar, I stitched my stats to these of course :).
I still want revenge! I've decided this was my last run of the Warehouse before the Live Realm and sadly, I lost again. So jealous of the people who beat it..
A KingIsle support member. At first I thought it was an alien costume but I noticed the ninja-pig suit, but do pigs have claws? I looked in Mooshu for this but didn't see it, ooh, top-secret costume, maybe it will come out sometime...
Oh and I found out that a really cool hat drops from Estrakir. One of the wizards I did a Warehouse-run with had gotten a hat that gives 265 Health, a little Power pip % and a little Resist PLUS a Ninja pig card, woot! And it can be sold, there is no where on it that says No Auction so I hope someone sells it to the Bazaar. I also got another Wayfinder boots ( 2 of them so far from General Stormclaw, got it both times ) which are pretty good but still sticking with Kraysys' Myth boots. Also Ravenwood Radio is on tonight while Leesha Darkheart tours the KI building asking questions :D. Go RR! I hear of a surprise moderator from Kev Battleblood too, can't wait to hear our questions answered! Cya there at 9:30 EST. And it's on a Tuesday for a change since Leesha couldn't make it on Wednesday. Good day tonight, I watch my favorite show ( Wipeout on ABC, me and my mom watch it, so funny! ) then soon after RR19! Happy Farming! **UPDATE** I found out I didn't read the Patch notes well enough, Celestia isn't really out yet, just the pre-quests. So stop asking people to take you to Celestia! xD

Warehouse=CRAZY, Read this for a lot of info on the new updates


First of all, I am one of the first explorers to the tippy-top of the Warehouse! Some other wizards came in with me ( including a Life wiz :D ) and we almost died at General Crab and his pesky tired, lazy and half-witted skeletons. But we got through, one of the first victories over General Crab! ( I had died here twice before ) Next, there were 2 wraith balance bosses and we all said "Uh-oh..." but the bosses were just like minions, piece of cake - Daren Whisperwind was wrong on a couple bosses who don't cheat. So around the 7-9th floor we got to the top. A shadow-weaver with a funny name ( Estorik? something? I forget ) and a big thug called Knuckles McCloud plus several of his rats. Well, for some reason, the life wiz suddenly disappeared and we all died in 5 minutes. sigh... I submitted an idea to KI that they really ought to tone it down ( at least the shadow-weaver and Knuckles at the end! ) and I sure hope they listen. Just like when Grzzleheim came out, Malistaire was impossible. So I am pretty sure ( or at least hoping ) they tone it down a bit.

The quests to this warehouse were a breeze btw if you didn't do them yet. Talk to Balestrom. Go to Resonating-Omni. Talk to Balestrom. Talk to Zann'e. Defeat mummy in Djeserit Tomb. Talk to Balestrom. Defeat whats-his-name in Village of Sorrow and Vesna's weavers in the Crucible. ( They weren't too hard ) and get Thurston's S.O.S ( cool voice, sounded very awkward and real scratchy too. ) Talk to Balestrom again. Talk to doggy in Royal Museum. Defeat the warehouse for the CL Spiral key. And that's it to everyone's knowledge so far ( no one can beat the warehouse! )

Plus some other things, I saw the new GH Fjord house, pretty cool. Also the new MB pets are in "Air-Barons" pub in Digmoore station where that froggy trains people spells. I have too much to talk about, so here are some pics of the updates :P
Oh yea, the mummy's name was Typhon
Cool message, who the heck is the Umbra Queen and Mor...? Meowiarty? :D
Hints on the new schools...
Stormclaw's first success at killing us all
The last bosses, that shadow-weaver really has to lose some weight... Plus I also saw Ronan Ravenshard, an active w101 member, a friend of Friendly's etc. ( he said my blog was awesome :D, thx! ) and Amber Rosepetal of A Savior of the Spiral, another neat w101 blog. And off-topic I got my Life-Minotaur to Adult, still no big talents yet, just hoping for good derby talents so I can get to Pet-Warlord
Well Befuddle isn't bad. Plus I heard of the Malistaire B-Day bash so I went to Unicorn way, the spot for it, Vampire area 1 and when I tried to get into 1 it was full, oh well. I'm surprised people showed up with the new updates and all ;). And speaking of parties I'm cutting my house-party to the 30th since I've been way too busy with the updates and stuff. I hope a friend of mine actually beats the Warehouse this week, I really want to see Celestia!

So, Happy Farming!

Read the test realm, more surprises besides Celestia

Ok this post is done as soon as my computer loads the test realm. But GH housing is now out too! And hatching prices have decreased! GH Crafting! DS easier! More DS XP! Beastmaster Clothing!

#2 the winner!

In my Party costume contest ( last post ) #2 ( Swashbuckler hat, Noble garb and Noble footwear ) won! In the 3 comments I recieved one was definitely for 2, one was for 1,2,4 and 5 and one for 2 and 6. The only one that didn't get a vote was #3 which only had different footwear xD. So I'll wear the #2 MB fancy costume to my house-party tomorrow thanks! I got back from grandma's last night but haven't posted till now since I've been trying out my new Wii games, Sports resort mainly, basketball, cycling, table tennis, flying are probably my favorite out of 12 sports in that game. Also NBA11 and Tiger Woods11. But my dad already had Tiger Woods11 ( he's really good at Wii golf ) so we're going to return that for a comic book probably :). And for books I got the latest Garfield ( Garfield weighs his options, lol ) and a pretty random fact book called "The book of useless information" Yea some facts are like "so what?" but then again there are some facts that raise your eyebrows :D. Anyway I also got a Mega snack pack gift from one of my great friends in-game Samantha Daisyleaf, she doesn't blog but says she looks at this one sometimes :). One awesome thing I got from the mega-snacks was...

Woot! If you read my last post you may have noticed closely in my costume snapshots an "Epic" reading above Lord Spike. The Mega snacks were the ONLY thing to get Spike to Epic before I left :). But alas, again, he got some pretty bad talents. As you can see, Tenacious, 5o Strength, only a little help and Exhausted which takes some morale from the leader I think ( I was kinda hoping for something like Bombardier or the walls in every lane derby talent ;). ) I already had a lot of snacks but like I said, the mega snacks kept me from waiting to get back to level Spike to Epic :D. Here's your proof

And now I'm training my Life Minotaur till Ancient for the spell...

I: just 12 mana if you are wondering, plus the Banana is only for one lane. That's the news for now, I will be pretty free till near Mid-July when I have yet another daily camp then at the end of the month I visit a family friend in North Carolina then visit Michigan ( the state I used to live in ), possibly an aunt in Illinois and a one-day stop in Pittsburgh to see another family friend. But most of August is free ( gasp! ). And I just logged in and Samantha over-did it again

Hehe, third gift in a week! You are too awesome Samantha :D. Hope the Celestia quests come out this week! Happy Farming!

Ah, the horrors of Kensington...

Yea, it took like 2 hours with 4 grandmasters. One life ( that really helped ) One Fire, one Death, one Myth. And sadly all we got were tons of useless clothes and lots of snacks ;P. Oh, I got a gravestone from Ratchet too, kinda random there. Complaints filled the whole time and we agreed at least ONE person should get the Seraph from all this. So when Stoker was dying my heart was pounding really fast and I crossed my fingers... no luck. I: Bad enough for me but same for everyone else lol, not enough a Spider Golem! And yea, in other news U.S.A beat Algeria in the 91st minute to advance!!! Wooooooottttt! They missed several big opportunities including one that I really urked at, Dempsey could have tapped in a possible goal but nooo he had to kick it into the seats xD. It's pretty annoying when players kick it really high for barely a good reason when they are about to score. Another example is when the goalie fell down and with defenders around him to possibly block a goal Altidore panicked and kicked it WAY too high. Sigh, plus another bad ref misjudged an offside that took away a Dempsey goal and in the replays it appeared he was onside. Well, at least they did win in "panic-time" as I call it on a Donovan goal into the corner of the net, woohoo! A lot of bad luck, but good luck in the end. Plus a Wimbledon match, Mahut vs. Isner is tied in the last set at 59-59!!! Seriously, this is the longest game in Pro tennis history, not exaggerating. They have played 2 days and I think one of them will have to be the winner tomorrow. Wow, when I first saw 59-59 I nearly fell out of my chair. Crazy day in sports ;) and on a last note Lord Spike is 789/1000th of the way to Epic, go Spike! Happy Farming!

Go Death Oni! Crown boots and Leprechaun in consecutive days woot! One more pet to check off the list... Happy Farming!

Statue of the week-Kraken

Release the Kraken!

Gasp! He's attacking my trees! ( Begs for mercy ) nooooooooooooooo...
ok, ok here's where he drops from: Silver Sentinel, first boss in the Labyrinth. Trivia: What recent movie did the Kraken appear in? Answer: Look it up! Anyway, the Silver Sentinel is also known as the boss who drops Icezilla. I got the Kraken statue the only time I fought him on Dugan, my fire wiz. To expand more on the subject here's some info on him from Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraken ): Mythical sea monsters of gargantuan size, said to have dwelt off the coasts of Norway and Iceland. The legend may actually have originated from sightings of real giant squid. Aw c'mon, the Kraken isn't a squid! These creatures normally live at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and have reportedly attacked ships. Yep that's the Kraken for ya. OK, OK here's the answer to the trivia: Clash of the Titans the recent movie. It depicts the Medusa's head myth from Greek mythology with extra, exciting parts including a huge Kraken attacking an island. As from my first sentence this now famous line has made the Kraken famous: Release the Kraken! as said by Zeus in the movie so the Kraken ended up destroying an island. I haven't seen the movie yet, hope to soon though maybe on DVD. Also my recent Life character has leveled up! I did the Crimson Fields and the Tree of Life with him+friends and got him from LVL 6 to 15! Hehe, and he's still in Wizard City. Introducing Tarlac Lifegiver!
I traded the Crowns hat to him and bought his best LVL 15 gear at the Bazaar. Gotta go train Spike, he's over half-way to Epic! Happy Farming!
