Legendary Gear Versus

Hai everyone! Lots has been going on, including finding out I had a computer mic, so I've had fun on Skype :P. We may get together a podcast -more info later-, but there was a random recording with Elite questing in Dragonspyre, and you can hear my voice a bit.. it sounds a little younger than I really am, so, xD. I'm sure we all have worries about our recording voices anyway. Also, Luke and Cassandra G (making the epic Poison Ivy!) did a Waterworks run, helping out with my strategy for that dungeon later, despite technical difficulties. Fun! :) Also, Sophia is really bearing down (pun not intended) with questing in GH & DS, and has had quite a bit of progress, so I definitely have something for my next post. Anyways, to the real material!

I spent a while comparing the best gear, so, in my opinion at least, here it is for when Wintertusk comes out!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So, next I'm going to get the crafting materials needed for all those Hats, and develop a card deck for the Waterworks. Hopefully will find someone who can port me into Sudriland tomorrow, lol. Credit to Deathshard's Waterworks Drops and the following video from Johnny on Central for gear stats :)

Whew, it may be quite a job getting everything. I'm kind of glad that gear is 'No Auction', if it isn't, you can just buy from Bazaar and less fun. But I'll have to the Waterworks a bunch of times -_-. So again, lots of Sophia progess next. Have a great, well, Monday, and remember we're closing in on Summer! :D

Happy Crafting!

Analysis On WT Pets

Hey, everyone! I'm watching a replay of the Royal Wedding as I write this. Yeah, I love England, deal with it :P. Its just a wedding, but a person just turned from a commoner to a princess, but most of all its an excuse to be happy xD. Congrats Will & Kate.. anyway, lets get down to business. Hybrids of 58 pets are being discovered left and right now, so if you are curious, click HERE (complete credit to Deathshard and Kelsey Fireheart!). If you don't want little spoilers, don't look at the following paragraph of my analysis :P

MINI SPOILER ALERTS IN FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH

Ok, here's my thoughts on the ones discovered so far!

-Topaz Kraken- I think this one is the Judgement/Kraken mix, but it says Phoenix, either that or a misprint, I have a hunch. Its sandy color and has a Balance-like name, so. Anyways, sweet, I can see this coming out of a Sandstorm or Quicksand! :o

-Ice Kraken- Looks just like I thought! I can see it coming out of the polar ice caps and attacking

a poor ship :P

-Fire Wyvern- I can just see its neck fur as a cozy rug ;). Looks like it would have a spicy taste... MOVING ON!

-Forest Crawler- Creative (creepy) name, I can see it sneaking up on me. VERY cool!

-Thunderbird- Phoenix pets are hard to see, but this one looks dangerous and electric!

-Shadow Phoenix- It looks like its coming out of a black hole o_O. Hope you don't see a group of these, or it will be a MURDER of Crows! Heheh..

-Fiery Judge- Looks like Icarus at first thought, women version. He's a fellow from greek myths who wouldn't listen to his father about flying too close to the Sun with wings..

-Astral Judge- Reminds me of Limes xD. *DING* Awesome!

-Flame Toad- Did he step in some mud and get a huge sunburn? Imagine this thing as a meteor crashing down on the Earth, like it does in its spell animation xD.

-Frosthopper- I'm running low on awesome words.

-Gloom Toad- Hehe at the name.. and awesome logo on its back! Like to scare away predators ;P

-Tundra Warden- Ice Scarecrow, interesting! Lets see this in WT :P

-Stormcaller- Like the ones in Haunted Cave, not surprised there. But, storm symbols!

-Crop Watcher- Looks like its growing right out of the dirt, haha.

-Inferno Beast- He sure looks angry O_O

-Cloud Beast- Looks just like an Ice Forest Lord in WT boss, named Aurekk. I saw a picture of him and HUGE. SNOW GORILLA! :O

Awesome, huh? Here are my future hybrid name thoughts, we'll see if they come true..

-Legendary Kraken-

-Inferno Kraken-

-Doom Kraken-

-Natural Kraken-

-Storm Slitherer-

-Mythic Crawler-

-Sandy Slitherer-

-Doom Crawler-

-Frozen Flier-

-Mythbird-

-Dry Phoenix-

-Forest Flier-

-Glacial Judge-

-Mythic Judge-

-Tempest Judge-

-Death Judge-

-Tempestral Toad-

-Topaz Toad-

-Leaf Frog-

-Fire Watcher-

-Cycrow-

-Trusty Warden-

-Divination Beast-

-Legendary Beast-

-Sand Beast-

-Doom Beast-

I'm so curious..

Flying Ram Mount :o

SPOILERS OVER, YOU WERE WARNED.

Okay, I'm almost done, so here's a little update on Sophia:

That says most of it :D. She finished the Ancient Burial Grounds, then today the Village of Sorrow. LvL 43 and about to start the Tree of Life now, which I'll do soon. I've decided I'll buy GH & WT for the 2nd account, as WT is incredible, need GH to get there, and I'll need to buy an area or 2 for the 58 quests anyway. So, hopefully tonight after MS, I'll do GH questing on her. Grinding but peaceful are good words for GH :). And I really want to get on a questing rage - would like to duel-box when the Waterworks come out and WT, so I really would have to get devote time to Sophia questing. We'll see how long it takes.

I don't think KBB would mind me saying, but I'm starting work on RR transcriptions and just contributed a little (although it sure takes a long time just to do 10 minutes :P) on Episode 38. Thats a great thing to do for the community :).

Lastly, you've likely heard, but there's a plagiarist in our midst, no naming, but hopefully this wizard will clean up their act, as plagiarism is a very serious offense (keep in mind - this wizard is giving ZERO credit to most posts he/she does to the original author). I just hope he/she understand, apologizes and acts less lazy. Remember - plagiarism will lose you followers. Ok, have a great weekend folks :)

Happy Farming!

Gear Versus (And My Attempt On Announcing Without Spoiling)

FIRST off, I went mini-golfing, boring shopping (2 Stores didn't have W101 cards that should. Ugh), watched TV, etc. over the past couple of days, so I had fun and am now back to find out that Wintertusk is in the TR! I couldn't help but read up on the new gear drops and check some out myself, but I want to completely have the quests/areas as a surprise when I do it in the LR.

So now, I am faced with some tough decisions on gear..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkdtJ1KoTww&feature=player_popout#t=53s

Those are my options of hats (go to the link and pause it).

IMHO, 'Tricksy Hood' beats 'Illusive Headdress' (my current one) and 'Poetic Chieftains Helm' beats 'Tricksy Hood'. So, Chieftains Helm it is!

I don't have pictures of the other Waterworks 60 gear, so I'll continue my 'VS. gear' next time. I love the Crafted Boots look, though, but the Myth Crafted Boots stats don't quite beat the 58 gear. Here are some small but GREAT miscellaneous updates:

Statues are no longer "Limit 1"

(perfect for us housing geeks! YAY!)

Many spells that are variations of the original will now look more like they should - ie the Life Banshee will be green and not look like the Death Banshee. Look for these updates in various spells.

(Can't wait to see some of these examples :))

Ice Colossus Spell will have its damage increased from 460-540 to 500-580.

(Sophia is about to get this - GOOD!)

Empower cards can no longer critical.

(Nice relief :P)

Accuracy and damage enchantment cards can now be applied to Drain spells.

(I was thinking of this the other day, and am really glad to see this. Death duo will love that)

Pierce now cost 0 pips.

(Woo, maybe I'll use this more :D)

Accuracy and damage enchantment cards can now be applied to Power Nova.

(Balance duo says goody!)

School Mastery Amulets are now available as drops from boss creatures in Wintertusk

(so do Mega Snacks in the Waterworks! YAYNESS, I do NOT want to spend 10k crowns)

he following emoticons have been reintroduced to Text Chat:

:-D :D ;-D

;D XD :-P

:P ;-P ;P (if only they would let us capitalize 'I'! But thank the lord, ':d' looked weird :p)

For Crab Alley, I'm going to wait and be surprised at Sunblade's request for Initiates. I am quite curious, but must wait..

For the special 'Waterworks', a new kind of Briskbreeze, I'm itching to try it. Many tricks up those bosses sleeves, so I'll read up on that carefully before I try in the LR. 2 Mastery Amulets, 60 Gear, Mega Snacks and even more are said to drop there! WOW!

As for Wintertusk and the new spells, I won't spoil them if you don't know. (GASP, ____ Minion) For wand-stitching, I plan to buy that LvL 45 1-regular-pip Myth Wand, which looks exactly like the Arcane Staff, I think (but waste 2500 crowns??). If you look closely, it has several monster heads (Trolls & Cyclops) and hopefully Myth logos spew out of it like the Arcane. If not, I'll go for that Raven Myth Hammer :).

Now, I prep up to craft some WT Gear, the Waterworks, and that Violin item that Torald Wayfinder now sells. (Have you visited him in Northguard? He also sells a Decorative Gong, I used to be a Violin player and it is similar to the Antique Cello - AWESOME!) I hope that wasn't too spoil-y for you guys. I'll try to be back tomorrow or Friday to post (if Friday, give my best wishes to the Royal Couple - I actually want to see that, yes xP)

Happy Exploring!
