A Generous Blue Efreet, Among Others..

Its been a busy 3 days for the Spiral! I got to do a bit more over the weekend and managed to be one of the first to explore the Massive Sultan's Palace on Tuesday, which is totally going on my Birthday Wish List (its in a month, so can't have it yet! :P).



















First, we start out with the oldest stuff I haven't posted - that is, Sophia's end journey through CL! All those Pisceans are intimidating O_o.
After a bit of work and being a bit of a 'night owl' once, the Crustacean Empire was in my icy grasp ^_^.














Snow Angel liked the peacefulness of this sunken-temple area, with cute fire Lophians to kill :)


















..and Calypso, soon after. I agree, the Pirate Ship seriously needs to be a house. And I managed to solo Glauco/Angler Warlord - a tough duo, which was fun. Needed a bit of help for the pesky Hexfin ice guys though :o.









Right before running the Chancel, this was how close I was to becoming a GM Artisan xD. Sure enough, several Sandstones later..



















My third! :D I proceeded to make a Sudrilund Hat, finishing all of her gear, and a little stitching.











Now we get to the fun part, which I'm sure you've all heard about. Pictured above is a crowd gathered, waiting for Luke Goldhorn's -one of the very first recipients of the "MSP"- house to work for him. Ended up sneaking back on later - Luke's hasn't worked yet due to a bug (some got the house before the actual release date, for June 1st I think, so a few people have some errors getting to the 'MSP') but I snuck on later to view the amazing place that someone else got their hands on. Oh, kudos to Amber Unicornflower for being THE first to show us pictures even before Tuesday, making us all hungry for more. Gotta be jealous of her father who works for Kingsisle ;P. Very well done, doing as much work as she has already on the new place!





Once per day, you get a generous blue Efreet.





I got a measly Storm Shark TC :P. The best reward I've heard of so far is a King Parsley and (separate) a Sunstone. Hopefully will get lucky later on.









GOLD! Gah, so awesome.























Walls... ceilings... so pwetty...












Here's the picture that leads to the Genie/pretty Gold mine. Just walk through it, lol.











Duel Circle.. in the middle of a man-made pond. Sweeet.












Reminds me of a Vineyard or something - that little space is good for gardening, I suppose.










Entrance/Lion-head O_o













AH, SANDSTORM!











Even a little desert (waatterr..)











This is a pretty good lake, and a nice full look at some of the outside! :)











AH, disappearing huge gold chest! WTG on the mirage, btw :P






















Its not too hard to get lost in the hallways /:














Golden Cyclops O_O. To give you a better look, the latest videos here give you a good idea of the extras on the 'MSP' & a walkthrough. Well, all in all, its pretty awesome, right? Have a good weekend :)

Happy Exploring!

Legendary Deck Setups

Less than a month till School ends! Then I'll pretty much be free :D. Had a good time yesterday, and the next post will chronicle Sophia & endgame, but for now out of an idea from a post by Fin and a continuation of a guide I made long ago, here's my current deck setups for those Legendary wizards: *Notice: All decks have an extra stackable school-blade too from Sudrilund Hats*



Arlen's Mob Deck. Amulet: (gives) Balanceblade & Hex (although I want the BB & Tower one lol).


















This is a 4v4 deck I put together for parties & maybe I'll really use it one day, and I'm sure its not the best, but its ok enough. Myth, as you can tell :P. Amulet: Reshuffle












This was Arlen's Boss deck in WT, and good for CL & DS too (shields, if you have Tower or the boss is a school you can shields against). Talos Minion is the newest addition, and its pretty cool :) Amulet: Balanceblade/Hex



Mycin's Mob deck, should put an extra Garg+Tempest in there, lol. Maybe a Pixie too, in case, and of course shields permitting. Amulet: (insert name of Storm Attack Bubble here. BTW, many of my decks will have the Balanceblade/Tower Shield amulet once I get it).












Mycin's Boss deck (again, shields permitting as will be for every deck). I like to Bolt off the minions ASAP, lol. Maybe I'll put in 'Insane Bolt' when I get it. Maybe. Amulet: Feint







I thought I'd give my own demonstration of WW boss decks for Tarlac, as I've done it twice on him (but no gear.. grrr). This is for the final boss(es), Sylster & co. Lifetraps & Blades are in case someone hits without any traps/blades on themselves and I'll put, for example, a Lifetrap on the boss so the hit won't trigger his "Power Ra". Guiding Lights don't work, sadly. Amulet: Feint



Tarlac's self-Mob deck, remember I have a Satyr pet in case :P. Amulet: Satyr & Seraph







Luska Charmbeak deck. Triage in case someone makes her bring out a cheat Skeletal Dragon or "Super-Power Link" :o. Feints there because my team used Spirit Defuse so the traps could work without her cheating. Amulet: Feint









Dugan's Boss deck. Amulet: Feint as you can see xD have a Helephant pet too for now.



Dugan's Mob deck. Amulet: Wyldfire












Sophia Boss deck. Shields were for a Myth Boss atm, lol. Amulet: Balanceblade & Tower Shield






Sophia's Mob deck. Amulet: Balanceblade & Tower Shield
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope that helps! I don't have too much time so I gotta run and craft a couple things before I have to get off in half an hour.

Happy Farming!
