Toxic Wumpus

Hey, everyone! So, I've made a lot of progress on the Sorcerers, but first ---

Shadowthistle's party last Friday!

Just for the record, I started it, Talon :P. Ever wonder why can you say Squijax in text chat? "Tacoxi" and "omnijak", too.. (the answer is in the link to the above sentence).

Wumpus = A mythical creature Cyrus sends you after on the Orthrus quest.. the Wizard City librarian debunks that myth for you.

Stoprmzilla = A misspelling of the spell that is allowed, strangely..

Anyways, we had fun saying those random words! Hehe.

It was a fun party that reminded me of the old days :) (when PvP-houses weren't invented yet) we need more of those! Thanks for the fun, Kestrel!

Continually questing throughout Sunday, the Balance duo reached Malistaire!

Who appropriately died on a wand spell ;) goodbye, depressing world of Dragonspyre! I won't miss you.

Afterwards, thanks to some help by a #twizard, the Duo beat the Gurtok Demon and Raven$! And, ta-da, the eager questing in Wintertusk had begun. They were only Level 45 (remember, not really doing side-quests), so Celestia was still closed. But, who cares? I couldn't wait to do Wintertusk anyways.

So, starting late this morning, Grandmother Raven was freed and the journey had begun.

Granny says HI!

Thanks to a nice Alwin Brightspark (lets just say I pull him out of the Crowns Shop a lot, ala Ice bosses here), doing a 7124 Helephant (buffs FTW), I beat Skeggis Forkbeak in 'Thanes Table'. And shared some nice hot bread.

So, several Ice bosses later and dealing with Austri, the Duo dinged 48. (3 levels in 2 streets! :D)

Before venturing into Vestrilund, Power Nova was calling. Above is the Crystal recieved from a DS Tower, and should you be curious of more details involving the Nova quest..

(Not my video, of course. Credit to original maker.)

One DS Tower and one fallen Oni later..

Do you notice the possible theorycrafting in the above picture?

There's a city, and quite a few place names I'm sure, called Kent in England (a la based off of Marleybone). There are no areas involving 'Kent' in Marleybone, though. Now, it could just be the real place in England, but I'm not sure Kingsisle would do that. So, should Barkingham Palace ever open, will there ever be an area called Kent? I wouldn't think World, but they did have 2 parts to Grizzleheim after all. Then again, it COULD just be a mistake and not mean anything. We may never know!

Anywho, after destroying a priceless jewel, the spell was mine! :)

And, first casting on some unruly Vestrilund Wildclaws.

Fail, much?

So, now the Balance Duo is in Sudrilund, completing Vestrilund tonight and moving on to face some challenges from Sudri's Raven comrade tomorrow. Hoping I'll get to Nastrond tomorrow! The Duo has moved from 45-49 in 3 areas, so that should give a good idea of that awesomeness that is Wintertusk EXP. Where will they be after Wintertusk, stepping foot into Celestia? Tune in next post!

Happy Questing!

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!

Feint Ideas

Hey everyone! So, I'll cut the real life stuff short, but I got an iPod and some small stuff. Plus I'll probably get the $40 MSP Pack after my Summer School thing, which is going fine. Gamestop is one of the reasons I can't wait until I'm 16 - getting a job there xD. Speaking of High School, there's a party in the works for those going into it next year next month, so I'll remember to remind everyone as that date comes. It actually feels a lot better than Middle School. Also, thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes and glad the Ravenwood Ball was a smash! Now for some in-game news :)

I finally got this talent for a pet which will eventually prove helpful in tough boss battles/when a new world comes out again - its stackable! The first talent on this guy is Spritely, so I'm finally getting there. I just want Spell-Proof, which is in this pets blood too (though several selfish talents also..) and Sophia has it so I can always hatch. The problem though is the last talent I want... May Cast Tower Shield. Not many have it. So, I'll try asking around for that later on. Perfect Pet Project = Progress! Also speaking of pets, I'm sure you all have seen the Patriotic Leprechaun out, which was expected. Apparently no 4th of July vendor though.. darn. Isn't it funny how pets like the Gobbler are much more expensive than the most recent ones, yet the recent pets have better talents? xD Then again, the older pets look a little cooler. I also could use a couple for my DS House.. oh, have I mentioned..

Woot :). I spent a day walking around it, gathering ideas, and slowly completed it. Well, maybe a couple Boulder-guard pets would do, as well, now that I think about it. But its technically completed :P. I did what I could with the small place - I liked how I mixed the Celestian picnic area in the inside, and it took a long time to craft all those Palm Trees outside. Now, 3 nearly done! Come on, Tarlac's garden. I won a Diseased Wildclaw (crowns) from Yakedo in the Crimson Fields, so I just need 2 pets and 1 furniture item in my Dragon's Fjord now! They're small, but I'm kind of a perfectionist ^_^. In the DS House, I still need to start that one room inside, and I'm currently farming for a 2nd Oni Statue for outside the PvP ring, so after that, the outside might be done. Just that room and some pets besides that, I guess. Hmm, after those I guess is my KT Oasis I haven't started, on Dugan, and my MSP when I get it, of course (2 deserts! Aye). Shouldn't shoot ahead though, but thats a good goal by August. Mmm... thats it. TO KATIA FIREWINTER!

Happy Housing!

*More* Housing Progress.. (+ Be Back Monday!)

Hey everyone. I'll be gone till Monday, and I start my little Summer School thing then, so a little less time playing. Hopefully no HW, though :).

For my Birthday, (yes, its on the Ravenwood Ball - remember to attend that, right?!?), I got a couple comic books, a baseball, and a few dollars already, but I think I'll get 2 other things on the 25th, which is my actual one after all :) can you say iPod & $40 Epic W101 Pack? Woot! At least I hope. LOL. Anyways, its going to be fun going to Grandma's again too. Running low on time, so I'll do a quick update on my Wizzy Status this week:

Like Maniac Magic's periodic 'Night Mode' in the Spiral, similar things happen to a spell once in a while on mine. I found the Dark Tempest cool ;).

This style floor is a new one.. it reminds me of something in the Krokosphinx, especially with those Ice Spiders. Ah, memories.

You should hear her voice too xD. 4 floor Tower, so I fought her 20 or so times, no luck on the Crowns Gemcutter Table. Appears that I'll buy that later when I have crowns again. But, I did, after awhile, get 2 Hydra Statues & 2 more DS Sarcophagus (almost in a row after a long drought, too!), so I'm even closer to completion on the DS/MFP House. Doing awesome, also crafted some Wyrm Bookshelfs/Bed for a room as well :). In my MS House, I went down hard on Akuji with friends, and one got the Stone Sarcophagus I needed, but sold it to me. Yay! So the outside is finished, I'll buy the Wu pic for a few crowns, and now I just need to wait on my Pink Dandies for all those Jade Chairs to craft *whistles impatiently*. Lastly, I spent just a little time looking for ideas on my Island Getaway inside (Outside is basically done), and made a Ruined Library and may have down an idea for the little Bedroom. So, I'm nearly done on 3 Houses. Sorry for the anticipation! :P

Okay, I gotta run.. am hoping my Birthday goes well, and you all have a great Ravenwood Ball. Would totally attend if I could, but, oh well.

Happy Partying!

Crumpets, Science Guys...

*NOTICE* Blogger had problems on Thursday, and I had to leave till now. So this is late*

So, you all know Wintertusk is out now! First though, a few pictures before the big news :)

Moongem's Party! Was very fun, Steven did a good job with only 2 days to decorate :)

Bug I found (haha :P). I just had to exit the house and it was okay again. Bad plants.

Fish in a Frost Giant o_O

There's an appropriate Menu Chat phrase for this picture: "No."

I don't see how he looks a lot like the JB King, but ok.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY GUARDS I FOUGHT FOR THAT?

Glowfish! :D not enemies, thankfully

Scarefish O_o

Reminds me of Bill Nye. All this blabbering about Science.

Something new I noticed - before, it didn't say '+225 to all enemies', now it does, to avoid confusion that X spells work with Gargantuan. They always have, some people just didn't now.

Kelp going through a levitating cage..?

Stuck in a huge Clam :O

GAH. Frozen Bear. I'm in WT with Sophia & Arlen, more to come later :)

Nice abode, pretty easy boss. More coming next, this post was a little shorter than I wanted it because I just want to play W101 & listen to the new podcast that I'm a part of - http://www.livestream.com/theloungewizards - I think I'm the co-host next week with Mistheart. I'm a little sensitive with my voice sounding younger than I really am, but oh well xD. More on that later. Plus Blogger decided to go all hectic Thursday when this was due to post, so I had to type a lot over again and publish it 2 days later, sorry about that! Again, more stuff next post, soon.

Happy Questing!

Kensington Retirement

Several days grounded, the usual being done ITS... yeah, 6 days without a post, but I'll stop with the apologies now, few of you likely care that much :P.

Alric's party. lol, I like the Minotaur view, don't you? (RHYME! xD) It was his IRL birthday, and it was quite a big party. Got in a match or 2, had a good time ;)

Posing with a KP run crew :) (welcome back Sloan, hi Panglou -french for something cool- and hi new up-and-coming community member, Jordan). I think I'm done with Kensington for now, although it IS in my favorite world and is an awesome place. But, it takes an hour for a very rare chance at something good, and I have MS Furniture farming and such to do. So, I'm waiting till Halloween Towers again... 6+ months, gah! Yeah, forget the Antique Cello and stuff for now :P

So, for now, I'm farming for a Crabling and Wild Bamboo. Have 2 Crablings, just need ONE more for House and Bamboo for MS House. Next up is Paper Lantern Stand (Tomugawa) or Red Leaf Tree (Crowns - Everburn) in the Ancient Burial Grounds. Then, I guess more Crimson Fields farming - need 1 Wildclaw (Crowns, Yakedo), 1 more Lion-thingy statue (Grum) and 1 Pagoda Brazier (Kagemoosha). *Goes to Central to look up threads of people with a Cello. Comes back jealous*

IRL has been fine the last week, went to a Used Book Sale, got 3 from the Humor section :P. Also, should you care about sports, VCU is in the Final Four! Thats my Grandmothers alma-matter :D. And Butler, KY & UConn as well. Hoping any one of them except UConn wins, especially VCU.. would be huge. I can't wait for the end of this week, the "something special" -should it NOT be April Fools- , plus I'll try to pull off my dollar-on-the-ground trick xD. And then the weekend and the Basketball finals. Basically it! SO...

Happy Farming!

Drunken Celestia, etc.

Hey Gang! Been pretty busy ITS lately. And yes, very weird title, I know. I combined a little what I'm posting about into it. Creative? Eh...











A little of my Floating Lands house a couple days ago. Kobe doesn't want to drown!











Dugan secretly beat Astraeus solo! :D it was pretty close



















Check out how many drops...whoa.












And soloed the rest, woot. Very close to LvL 60, as I wanted to figure out how many side quests I should do to reach it at the right time.
















Speaking of soloing, Tarlac went for the dive into the Hall of Valor! And came up with 2 new pets!
Can't find the Death Troll one... but anyway, I finally got lucky and got those 2, woot :D. Took down Jotun first, and I forgot my Death wand to take off Grettir's death shields (thank goodness I also forgot to take off my Reshuffle amulet! Hehe) so it took quite a bit longer.















Ah, good ol' Blue Bart. Fought him quite a bit, no luck with the Palm Shrubs -_-. I made a satirical Twitter for him if you want to follow, @Blue_Bart ;)













Apparently they're so drunk they can't see where they're going O_o.















If you've (um, why did this just go bold? Grrr, won't let me change it) been fighting in-game lately, you've probably seen some unusally red spells. Short-time glitch, I presume, which IS kind of fun! Blood Shark! :O















Firebat fail..

Mycin is pretty Wild-Bolt happy lately, so I've noticed the red streak of lightning from that too. Blood-Bolt! Working hard on houses, plus Paige Moonshade (housing idol! :P) is hosting a big party tonight. Can't wait to see some inspiration for Mycin's Observatory.

Happy Soloing/Farming!
