Valid Until July

Happy 2012!
And, fittingly, we go back to July 4th, with my Half-Year Goals needing an update---

1. Finish 4-5 houses

• Welllll....... I kind of slacked on housing..... save a couple items, I have improved and sort of completed several houses, though.

2. Get Balance & Death duo to Legendary

• Balance duo = Level 60, on top.. complete!
• Death duo = Well.. I just finished Krokotopia on them.. :P

3. Get a "perfect pet"

• I have several pets with 2 of my dream stats, so this is half-complete but little progress since July. My dream pet would probably have: Spritely, MC Unicorn, Spell-Proof, ? undecided

4. Become Warlord in PvP

• Tristan actually became a Commander only 2 weeks later, but I stopped and figured I'd get him to Warlord at Legendary.. which I didn't. Permission to kick 1/2 year old self?

5. Transcript at least 5 RR episodes

• Well, I think KBB and the Crew suspended this project due to difficulty and increased business IRL, but I did get 1 done-though I forget which :P. Also, their first 2012 show is tonight, here's to a great new year for RR!

6. 70s song music video!

• Ok, that was mostly a joke, but maybe one day! I actually got a Queen and Pink Floyd poster for Christmas, so my interest is still into the 70s, lol

7. All best gear for Legendaries

• All except for Tarlac's boots and 2/3 of Dugan's gear, this was complete before ZF came out. And now ZF doesn't really have any better gear, so I could continue to work on this, but I feel ok with the gear they have :)

And, there's your update. Not too much success in following up on all of them, but oh well. Time for Beginning of 2012 Goals! (valid until July 1, 2012 :P)

1. Get Death duo to Transcended, maybe another character to at least Grandmaster
2. "Perfect/Dream pet" goal again. Its worth a shot!
3. Complete at least 2 relatively new houses (maybe the Sun Palace I just got?)
4. 5+ Grandmaster Artisans
5. Get most of the Music Players... become a Warlord in Derby/PvP on 3 characters

Hope everyone had a happy holiday. I know my trip to my Aunt's farm and New Years was fun! Most importantly, here's hoping 2012 gets more goals done and is even better (despite the fact its an election year and has an extra day, right?).

Sorry for the no pictures post, I'll try to get some in-game updates next time. My death-duo is progressing well and just finished Hyde Park :) finished Emperors Retreat/Tomb of Storms over Winter break. Also, Final Exams and the end of the semester are coming up, so don't expect much W101 progress on the weekdays for the next several weeks.

Happy Questing!

..The Herald Wizards Cast~

Happy Holidays, everyone! I'm going to Illinois to visit my Aunt tomorrow, then to my Grandmas, so I'll be gone 'til New Years. Remind me to do my 2011 review then!

First, just the end of Tarlac's progress through ZF, then a 12 Days of Wizards review.

Glad to see they made the Tomb easier at least.

*Ding* :) #2!

Bazaar failure.











Crafted some -Steven :P-Spiritcaller Drums to get that out of the way

And, sunset over Shining Mountain. Try not to miss that view when you're in that dungeon ^.^

And, now for something completely different--- 12 Days of Wizards analysis!

1: Charity Chrismoose: Didn't have the $$$ to buy, but nice idea from Kingsisle. Give it up for the pun & moose animation :P

2: Poem Contest: Nice prizes and brings out the poet in all of us. Cute :)

3: Free Light Strand: Buy - Pretty cool.. Free - WOOT!

4: Pack Sale: Hope those pet-trainers and Hoard-item-wanters got some joy out of this.

5: Arctic Ninja Pig: Awwwwww.

6: Holiday Decorations: Definitely my favorite, added to the fact it was all buy-able by gold, though I accidently bought 2 Snowmen with crowns.. bah. Thanks for the real tree and epic items!

7: Snowman Transformation: Probably the least exciting, but, well.. it IS free! Incidentally, the Mega Bundle at Blockbuster is a neat idea, they could use more business with the Netflix competition ... I'm getting off track, aren't I?
8: Candy Cane Mount: CHEAP! ... But crowns-only and I have enough mounts already. Sweet, nonetheless!

9: Free Nightcap: Useful for those new wizards.. I got mine last year :P
10: Boon Tree: Not sure what the Elder rewards are, but didn't seem worth it. Not charity and no extra seed drop? Sigh.

11: Mount Sale: Convenient for the beggars in the Commons, right? :P

12: Snowball Pet: Rock + Snow-shape = Snowball pet. Anyways, it IS cute, May Cast Freeze is an interesting talent too.

Well, that's it, an upcoming New Years coming in a week or so :)

Have a great week, staying home or going out to visit, everyone!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Gnome More

Happy December, everyone! :) I know I'm starting to listen to carols and I'm getting a tree tomorrow. Speaking of, there's a temporary new layout for Christmas until 2011 ends. Lemme know if there's any problems (such as not being able to able to read very well due to clash of colors, etc.)







Forgot to take a picture of this Zamunda garden while questing on Arlen.. lol, zebra-fountain









Nice new addition, helps out the rarity of Sunstones just a little bit.








Its not what it looks like o_o










This kind of reminds me of one of the first notable quotes in the game, as you enter Unicorn Way: NONE SHALL PASS!







Is there water under here? O_o











533 gold from my pet for this ;P

Aaaand.. level 68! Time for Gnomes! :)



Travelocity mascot much?








Thats not exactly going to help the lawn..











Woot ^.^

Here's the questline if you're interested (not me, of course, credit goes to the owner who happens to sound like KBB. Dont'cha think so, Kev? :P)







First casting happens to be in a boat..










Epic timing ;)

Didn't notice this before, either, but cute all the same. Some ghosts happen to be nice, and, well, drummers.

And, well, thats it! lol, I'll be taking a break from ZF to do my Death Duo (just started the Grand Arena) by next week, maybe get back to Housing and such a bit too.

Happy Adventuring!
