Caption THIS!

I'M A FAIRY!











Anyways, due to my friend in town, I have gone another week mostly dormant. But hey, the roller coasters were fun, lets get to the News!

As you all.. I think.. know, Wysteria has entered the known Spiral. It has one Common-Area, Pigswick, and 2 other streets, Tanglewood Way and Pegasus Place. The main complaint is Potter-rip-off, but besides that, its pretty neat. I liked the design of Pigswick streets and the new schools based off others (Chaos = Death; Earth = Life, etc.), although I don't know if they serve a purpose. I did a little of Pegasus Place, saving some surprise for the Live Realm, but I hear of a big Spiral Cup item and Golden Piggle, which seems pretty worth it. And the clothes possibly stitch-worthy. It has its own spot on the Spiral Door, so you could say its a small World.

One little biggy is the hints to possibly new worlds: Mirage and Weirwood. Will we see these in the future?! I'll talk more about this when it comes Live to avoid too much spoiling, but remember to help Petnome while the Test Realm is upon us!

Two other things: new August KIFG rewards, and, not too big, but a few new Krokotopia tidbits I just noticed in the crowns shop (plates and icons). The new KIFG rewards are pretty sweet as usual, thankfully, even PERMANENT mounts this time! Plus, if you can score high, a chance at a few crowns! :) A lot more pets, among other things, too. Rumors even of a new Fire Elf pet? More findings to come in the future.

Also, don't forget the W101 Central Contests!













As you can see, I'm entering the Caption This! contests, along with the Daily Raffles and Jester/Olivia Hide and Seeks. Hope to win something. Happy 3rd birthday, Friendly, Obama, and Wizard101!











Plus, this is my Moon Outfit for Shadowthistle's Party tonight. Don't forget that, either.
Got to go - I'll update the Balance Duo's progress next post, they still got some done this past week.

Happy Farming!

Where The Streets Have No Name - KT

The point of this new segment is theorycrafting and just small areas left out in the game. So, going up world by world, we start in... Krokotopia!












So, we have this small empty island, and an abandoned shop (excluding the Zeke Beetle). Maybe it could be a shop for... hmm.. something new? Storm Krok pet?











Dank blackness.. hmm.. how about a large bridge going into the blackness with a big secret boss? Who drops something awesome? And now you can theorycraft what he may drop, his name, does he cheat...etc.












And then there's this empty throne area (also one in the Throne Room of Fire). You could have another boss here, or a vendor? Like the Smart Allec Wiz's post, Kingsisle gives a lot of detail, but whats the point if its just a dead end serving no purpose?











Forgot to crop this, but there's a ton of empty space in the (err, name of this place..) Dig Site. Maybe some more reagents/free furniture, something? Also, forgot to take a picture, but there's a lot of unaccessible stairs in the front area of the Sun Pyramid, going down. Plus you can see big Krok Statues down there. Maybe one day we get to repair the stairs and go down there and find something?













Near Khai Amahte, here's a door. I believe Mycin had one of his Storm quests in there, if any of you ever wondered about that door.










Great view of KT up in the Secret Shop. If we could fly, wouldn't this be a great takeoff point?










Now, here's an island thats been noticed before, the one with no purpose. Check that it has 2 small Obelisks up there, like the Secret Shop Island does with a teleporter between them. Might we be able to teleport one day up there as well, and encounter a new NPC? There's also Briskbreeze Tower, where the final boss hints going to KT next. Maybe that island could have an imprisoned NPC in there, although that little building looks much too small for any enemies. Hopefully Kingsisle will answer this in the future. Well, KT doesn't have too many empty places, so I'll quickly update the Balance duos progress to finish this post.
















Did Mirkholm Keep and the Yoshihito area yesterday/today, so goodbye, Mooshu! Dragonspyre comes up next, bleh. Hopefully that will go quickly, as the last couple worlds have. Plus, I got Spectral Minion at 38 after beating Cyrus Drake.











Had to beat him for a Gem among other things in the quest. In the end, it came down to summoning his kind.














I kept them up (didn't press DONE for a few minutes ^.^) for a bit, and a mob gathered xD. As my tweet said when I released them: "Alright, say bye bye to the piggies" *pigs fly in air and point at me* *jumps* Random wizard: "lol! you dodged them" Hehe, it was funny.
There's a better one from my friend Blaze Shadowhorn. Hope everyone's having a good Summer, mostly loafing around till my friend comes in 2 days from 500 miles away :)

Happy Theorycrafting!

Another One Bites The Dust

*Sorry, my band references are going further lately :P (Title)*

Without doing side-quests, my progress is going very far these past couple days!






























After trying to 'Stop That Cat!', I cruised through MB and started on Katz Lab bright and early (ok, 2AM.. my Summer sleeping habits are wacky, lol) today, plus the Counterweights, before napping through the 3 hour maintenance. Oh, and the night before..





Judgement time! ^.^











Gah, it won't let me delete this pic --- ignore it (although a Mander can use Sandstorm!)





After some running around, I bumped into Reed Treever, who gave me the whereabouts for the Omnibus..





.. and ran into this cute little rat.










You can see what I'm up against. Thankfully, it let both of my Duo in together, so no soloing these baddies.
















So, soon afterwards, I summoned a little Sandstorm for some final lesson.





























Pretty big, no? And, is this yoga, by the chat? "And the more relaxed you allow yourself to be.."





Since I got Judgement, I figured, why not Adept PvP? It went better than I thought - started 9-1 :D here's my deck setup, treasure cards on top. (Once Tristan gains more Training Points, he can get Tower Shield for real)











Forgot to crop this - but if you zoom in, there's my school deck, plus shields at the go if I can tell what school the opponent is before clock runs out.



















First I switched to dye-ing in Death style, but then remembered my many KIFG transformations. HERE'S where they come in use! And, posing above, I bought a Myth Imp as you can see ^.^ So, I posed as a Death wizard. Camouflage isn't required, but can be very helpful.



















And here's the final count after a while. Figure I'll try to get as a Warlord once Tristan hits Legendary, maybe? I really like Balance as PvP. Judgement isn't everything, but I bring it out a bit. Actually, Spectral Blast can be underrated.














Watch out, horsie o_O














And, later this morning, Big Ben.












And shiny gear/badges! As I write this, I just Blasted the Plague Oni (hey, he's Balance, this is what Spectral Blast is for again!) out of the way, and soon head to the Ancient Burial Grounds, with both wizards at Level 35. Already? Like I said, its surprising how far you can get on a boring Summer day without doing side quests. 2/3 of the way through Mooshu! :)

Hopefully the duo will be mid-Dragonspyre, more or less, next time? We'll see. And about the Fiction, the quest to kill Meowiarty is aptly named 'The Last Meow' - the name of my story - and I didn't even recall that fact. All the better, then! Anyways, I'll post that when I'm low on material, sorry, don't want to make this post too long!

Happy Questing!
