To Summon a Monster

Hey everyone,

I leveled up to 68 today, and up popped Dworgyn with the great news that another spell is waiting to be learnt. So I dropped everything and hot-footed it over to Nightside.

Dworgyn sent me over to see Dr Von Katzenstein.... who had much to say....

So... We meet again. Who sent you? Dworgyn? It has been years since he worked for me. Whatever does he want? Oh... He seeks the secret of my  monster, my greatest creation! You know that really takes me back... We were young, and I was just getting into the whole mad scientist things, and Dworgyn had just graduated from Hench School. The things we used to get up to! Robbing graveyards, stitching corpses, calling lightning from the sky! Those were the days...

But I am afraid that I cannot help you. My papers were stolen from my lab some time ago. I heard rumours that they had been taken by a sorcerer named the Hoarder, but I do not know anymore. Go now, and slink back to Dworgyn with your tail between your legs. Oh, you don’t have a tail? Well... Let me out of this cell, and I’ll fix that...

Next up it's back to Dworgyn to see where I am led for the second part of this quest....

Did Katzenstein teach you what you needed to know? It Katzenstein says his papers contain the secret to building his famous Monster, then you must recover it! I’ve heard that the hoarder hides out in Dragonspyre, but I have no idea where! You know who will know? Milos Bookwyrm! The librarian of the Atheneum will know everything going on in Dragonspyre! Milos Bookwyrm is as sharp as a scalpel, and quick as lightning. Nothing escapes his notice! Go and speak to him!

So.... we are off to Dragonspyre next.....

Oh, hello there. Have we met before? It’s been so quiet around here... I can barely remember my own name! You are looking for the Hoarder, yes? That is unfortunate. The Hoarder is very powerful, not to be trifled with. There are those who claim it is a servant of Morganthe, Queen of the Shadow Web, gathering magic towards her return.

The Hoarder lurks in a tower with the Plaza of Conquests. Katzenstein’s notes will be with the Books of Death. But be wise and stay away from that place. I am a ghost, and I would not meddle with the Hoarder!

I was wondering when a battle would take place, but I was really surprised to see that this Rank 11 Boss was about 7,000 health LESS than the last spell I learnt. A mere 8,710 health!

Of course it was a Death Boss. I was expecting it to be fairly easy, and it was. Surprisingly so.  I had packed plenty of Prisms and used them to good effect. It wasn't long before this battle was over........






So it's back to Dworgyn...... happy that the journal has been retrieved, it seems the best place to call the spell to life is outside in front of dear old Mortis. So off I go, only to find out that the papers are too messy to work..... I am advised to go back to Dworgyn, but before I do I catch something out of the corner my eye.... the spell is working!
So I stay to watch.... It's actually a pretty cool spell to watch, although I notice that it is not one I see in battle too often.

As with all these new spells, I like to use them quite quickly to see what they look like when cast, and this at least looks a bit different to many of the death spells.

Back with Dworgyn and he confirms that I have my new spell. It is a 9-pip spell, and one that gives health back which is aways useful. Should be good to get a high hit out of at some stage.
My highest hit so far is less than 8,000 - I have no idea how anyone even gets close to 1-in-a-million, but hopefully one day I will find out!

Until next time,
Tabitha

Minigame Madness Chapter.5

Chapter Five is here for your reading pleasure!

"Doodle Doug" has dug its way into my adventures! This game is both really enjoyable and mildly difficult as the whole time you are being chased by monsters who want to make Doug (what I am going to call the little wizard) lose.

This game kind of reminds me of Bomberman as you start with 6 bombs to blow up enemies if need be and you need to dig around for the gems to get points. If you have  bombs left over and time to spare then you will gain extra points at the end of the round. There are many buffs and debuffs that help and hinder Doug in his travels.

This game is amazing as when you are playing you want all the specials even though they could hinder you...... they could help you....... but you also don't want to die or blow yourself up. As you need the gems all in time, it is very much a survival gem hunting game.

The buffs are as follows:

1. Monsters walk slower
2. Gems worth more
3. Doug walks faster
4. Extra life
5. Extra bombs

Some of the debuffs are as follows:

1. Monsters quicker
2. Digger walks slower

When I was playing I could feel myself getting drawn into the game and wanting Doug to live through and keep going. This game was challenging and thrilling at the same time, I will definitely be playing this one again when I come back.

Can't wait to see you in game!

Really? Where did that time go?

Who knew? Well obviously KI did, but I was blissfully unaware that I was about to enter a major milestone in my Wizard101 journey... my first year anniversary - no wait.... my Wizardversary!

So I guess today is the day to have a think about what that actually means. Levels and Stats are the easy ones. I am level 66 and my badge of choice is "Verdant Gardener". And when I started this time last year, that was a badge that did not exist. Everything moves on, improves, changes. So what else?

Well... I know what critical and block mean.... I know that the perfect pet has great stats, but talents are subjective. And I know that training to MEGA takes mega snacks and lots of patience!

I know that there is a wondrous world of just crazy adaptations of plants in the Spiral.  And I still love finding out about new ones. The Couch Potatoes that watch TV and kiss, the King Parsley that boogies the night away and the dangerously snappy Fish on a Vine to name but a few. Oh and those Couch Potatoes grow into Grandma and Grandpa if you don't look after them... complete with slippers and grey streaks in their hair. The attention to detail is awesome!

I have met many a villain and run, jumped, swam and ridden on a dragon. I have teleported all over and I found the Bazaar. I have spent considerable time at said Bazaar and spent much Gold. But for that I have crafted to my hearts content and decorated a few houses - of which I am very proud of the results.

I have found worlds that I love to explore and worlds that I almost suffer through to reach the end. I have found worlds that amaze, worlds that are beautiful. The creativity of the KI team continues to fill me with awe as I travel through Celestia - very much the land of changing landscapes....

  And it's not just the landscapes that have changed over the last year. So has Tabitha's wardrobe! I started being very true to my school - everything was black and red. But, as I started my journey into PvP I found that everyone knew me as a Death Wizard... so I started dressing in red. That phase didn't last long - the coming of the Halloween season, meant my first purchase of a Nightmare pack. I didn't look back... for a while.

Nowadays I'm either in green (gardening gear) or gold and white. Some things have remained constant though - for instance, I do not like head attire that hides my hair. I don't like pets that float or fly, I like my pet to be at my feet.

I have been defeated many, many times. I have tried my hand at more Silver Chests than I care to remember and I have uttered the immortal phrase "Oh I got caught" (or words to that effect) just one time too many as I try and dash by the enemy on my way to speak to someone! My mini-game of choice is Potion Motion and my Pet Training game of choice is the Dance Game.

At Christmas I had the awesome pleasure of helping two whole families of Wizards come together to re-make the 12-days of Christmas in our own style.

And you know, I could go on all day about all that I have learned, discovered, loved and hated. We all have our own story. But I bet all of our stories have one very important thing in common. The new friends. The people that are drawn together through the game. No - these are not really friends in the true sense of the word, but they can be just as important.

The community spirit that surrounds this game is great. Wizards helping each other, or just saying "Hi" when they see someone online. We never know what is going on in the real world for these Wizards, a simple "Hi" could be the very thing someone needs. I love that my level is now sufficiently high enough that I am called upon for help quite often. And I try to, if I can. Sometimes time gets in the way and I know I will not have time for Waterworks for instance, but as a rule, I try to say yes.

I have learnt that Wizards love to share. We chat on Twitter, and we talk through our blogs. We share information and thoughts that we hope help, or maybe they just raise discussion.

My year in the Spiral has gone fast - that's for sure! I want to sign off saying thanks to Morgrim for introducing me to this special world. Here's to another year of adventure and fun!

Until Next Time,
Tabitha

Egg-citing Additions!

Another day in the Spiral and what's this I see? Two new mounts in the Crown Shop - the Prismatic hare and the Caerbannog rabbit! Just take a look at these Bunnies - I can't wait to see them hopping around the Spiral.

But that's not all that is new, and clearly we are getting in the mood for Easter, because some egg-citing news is that Eggbert is back.

This is my first Easter in the Spiral, and I am always keen to see how KI celebrate the festivities. You can find Eggbert in the Shopping District by the water fountain, and he has tons of fun stuff!

Bunny Wands & Staffs
Fun Spring Wands
The Pet Egg!

And who could stop by the Crown Shop and not check out the awesome Bunny Costume? Your Wizard can be Peter Cottontail hopping down the Wizard101 trail in this cool head-to-toe bunny suit!

All looks loads of fun as we head into the Easter weekend!

Until Next Time,
Tabitha

No news on Khrysalis Part 2?

Leading the pack in the stories this week :

• Blaze's Pet at MEGA - Did it give him what he wanted? Read on and find out!
• 101 days of 2014 - sounds like a good excuse for a sale! 
• New Fox Pet - dropped by the final boss....

 The most interesting thing about the stories around the Spiral Web this week is the almost complete lack of Khrysalis Part 2 news! I was convinced there would be some! And thanks to KI, everyone is now aware that we are past 101 days into the new year!

There is also the exciting news of a new craftable house in Azteca, the Mount-a-Palooza sale continues and the onset of Spring in the West seems to have spawned many a contest. Who knows what next week will bring? Enjoy, and we'll bring you another round-up this time next week!

Until Next Time,
Tabitha

Back Into It.....

Hey everyone,

Boy it feels like ages since I've had the opportunity to write a new post... and this one is just a quick update on where I am at, so a quick read for you guys! I haven't been on Wizard101 a whole lot recently, just one of those times when other things get in the way. It was nice to be back and just running around knocking off a few of those quests that have been sat there a while.

So I've just finished the Floating Land. I hope the story takes me back up there at some point, but for now it's down below I go. My next stop is Stormriven. I was slightly concerned to see underwater submarine scenery back on the horizon, so I gave a huge sigh when I saw that this place is more a mix of the submarine and the celestial. I've just leveled up to 66, which is the first time I have leveled up in such a long time!

I have a long way to go into Stormriven, but felt compelled to use the following shot in this short post. It's like some kind of celestial game of chess. It actually would have been quite cool to have a game on those squares.

One thing I am still struggling with over here is the best use of my training points. I have 10 of them at the moment, and I'm struggling to work out if it is really worth using nearly all of them to train in the astral spells of that increase the power of your damage. Reading the forums, I know quite a few have, but I don't want to use them and then find something else is close that I would rather use them on. For now, I'll just continue to buy them at the Bazaar. Happy to hear what you guys did when faced with this decision!!

So that's my little update. I'll have more posts soon :)

Until Next Time,
Tabitha

Minigame Madness Chapter.4

Hello and welcome to chapter four of my marvelous adventure!

I returned to my journey with "Choo-Choo Zoo"! This game was interesting and difficult and sort of reminded me of the "Shock Locks" on the silver chests.

As the player you start on the mid left of the map and you need to make the little wizard take a path that will lead him to the creatures and then back to the center of the map. Although the concept seems like an easy one, it is really difficult to reach each creature and return to the middle.

When the creatures are on the edge of the screen, like in the image, they are harder to get to as they you cannot let the little wizard run off the map; otherwise you fail.

The only way to gain points in this game is to either get the gems or get a time bonus. Although in my trials it is almost impossible to get the time bonus (unless the creatures are in easy spots, which is very rare anyway) so going for the gems is the only real way to earn points.

There is no timer on the screen and therefore no way to measure whether you will gain the time bonus or not. This game seemed easy the first time I played it as all the creatures were lined up and easy to grab.... but when I lost I played a few more times and struggled to get to the third level with any points at all!

This is a game I will not be playing again as it nigh impossible to earn anything.

Can't wait to see you in game!
Christopher Battlesmith

SOO CLOSE!

Princess Cleo is just about Mega! She will be my second pet to get to Mega and hopefully won't fail.

The first pet I got to Mega was a pet that absolutely utterly failed. After doing reasonably well through teen to epic, I managed to do so well and got Mana Gift at Mega (yea, don't know how I did it). I was completely devastated and didn't train pets for a while after that.

Well now the time has almost come! Princess Cleo has 1840/2000 xp and should be Mega very, very soon. I will keep you posted and expect a post from me in the coming days. Wish me luck for not failing!

Is that Khrysalis Part 2 around the corner?

Leading the pack in the stories this week :

• Khrysalis Part 2! The test realm is up and we seem to be on the final strait for the big release!
  
• MMORG are having another competition. Pop over to get your free elixirs! 
• Duelist101 - Want to find out more about the Maycast Shadow Forged Weapons?

 ....... Remember there is heaps more on offer in the full edition, all the blogs and You-Tubes you may have missed during the last week in the Spiral......

Relax, put your feet up and Enjoy! We'll have another one ready for you next week.... and I wonder what the KhrysalisPart 2 news will be then?

Until Next Time,

Minigame Madness - Chapter 3.5

Welcome to a special chapter of my adventure through the minigames!

"Sorcery Stones" was a game that was easy but time consuming, and I thought there was no point playing it again. But, as all things in Wizard101, these thoughts can change! I was able to gain a high score because it was so easy and when I saw the rewards I thought that I might have something worthwhile......

Look at the picture - I saw that I had earned a hat!! This was new! I was rather exited to see its stats or if it was worth much gold.....  but neither held much gain. The hat would have been okay for my level but not that good either - so I decided that I would sell it because it must be worth at least a hundred or so.


I arrived at the bazaar eager to see what rewards I would reap, but I was rather disappointed when the hat only sold for 6 gold! It was a free hat so I can't complain about it but as you can see, I earned more gold from playing the actual game than selling the hat. I am still unsure about that last circle, and if get a score large enough one day I will share with you what I get.  In the meantime, have any of you ever completed the circles? If you have have perhaps you could let me know how long it took and what was the reward?

Thanks for reading my special chapter!

Can't wait to see you in game!

Hades Vs. Waterworks

Most of you would probably know of the level 90+ dungeon in Aquila, Tartarus. Tartarus is probably the most frustrating thing in Wizard, even more so then Waterworks (WW) or Tower of The Helephant (ToTH). It drops some of the best gear in the game from the final boss fight which is why so many people do it.

With a good team, you can finish Tartarus in just over or under an hour. The bad bit is, unless you have 3 other people you know and can communicate well with AND are over level 90 it's much harder and longer. Most of the people awaiting outside Tartarus for a team have some knowledge of the cheats and the way the dungeon works.



Waterworks, however, is much shorter but still very hard, and gives you gear that I still use at level 93! Waterworks drops 1 set of gear for each school, whereas Tartarus drops 2 sets per school.

The question is... Which one to use?

Hades first gear type is the 'offensive' set. This set gives no universal resistance but lots of damage and lots and lots of critical. Besides that, it gives you pierce to go through resistance! With all the storm set of Hades offensive gear, you can get up to 30% pierce!

The choice, obviously, is up to you. I personally am trying for the Hades resistance helmet and robe (I have the robe) and high-block (Azteca Crafted) or the Hades resist boots (I have both).

Trust me though, WaterWorks gear is still being used by me as a lvl 93 Death Wizard. The hat's universal resist is just really helpful as Death (when in teams) usually doesn't do the hitting.

There you have it! I will be doing more Tartarus runs now that I have the goal of getting the hat back in my mind (finally my pet didn't fail) so expect to be updated.

Thank you for reading and I wish you good luck choosing between the two!

Minigame Madness Chapter.3

Here comes the third chapter of minigame madness!

"Sorcery Stones" was up next and this game, I thought, was very easy. But there was one big issue for me, and that was time. The amount of time I spent playing the game was enormous and the reward I got was pitiful! I can understand why the reward wasn't very good but I still felt that I should have gotten something a little better for how long I played.....

At the beginning of the game you start with three rows of the blocks shown to the right and you need to 'swap' two blocks to make a three-of-a-kind minimum match. Meanwhile, a random assortment of blocks rise from the bottom. When a block reaches the top of the screen then you lose.

 Hover over a block to select it and the one to the right to swap the two of them. When a match is made the game will stop for a second and give you a score based on how many blocks you matched.

Some of the blocks have afflictions on them when rise from the bottom, the types of special blocks are:

1. Frozen blocks - These cannot be swapped and must be paired with from their set location
2. Caged blocks - These blocks have to be matched twice to destroy them. However they can be moved so that makes it easier to match them.
3. Bombs - These  are incredibly helpful as they will destroy everything in a 1 block radius! Note that  they are colour based so that they must be matched with the block of that colour to be activated.
4. Wild blocks - These are helpful because they act as any type of block needed for the match.

This game was easy but I couldn't see myself coming back as it wasn't much fun and the rewards weren't satisfying at all!

Can't wait to see you in game!

Now you see it..... Now you don't

Hey everyone,

I had a call for help in Wisteria the other day, and while I was there I popped into the shops, just to remind myself of what they were like. It's been a while since I have been over there so I sometimes just nose around an area, you know just checking it out. I was in one of the shops and popped upstairs. Again there is often no reason to do this other.... but I'm sure I'm not the only one to 'browse' either!

And, as often happens when I am not looking for anything in particular, a message pops up on the screen as I move into a certain spot. Usually this is a reagent of some kind. Unusual to find a reagent in a shop though! So I re-trace my steps back until the message appears again.
And there it is. The paining on the wall is collectible!

The Dragonship Painting to be precise. I already have one of these in my barn, and I know for sure they don't often show up in the Bazaar. It is quite a large painting too, one I definitely am happy to add to my collection.


And it got me thinking about the 'Collections' Swordroll has been thinking about starting over on his blog. Still that is a completely different topic!

Back to this piece.... I click the 'X' and the painting literally disappears from the wall. It's pretty cool actually. I have done this with housing items that I have randomly found, but never with a painting.
 It's quite cool to see the empty space on the wall like I've just bought the painting for real :)

And then I got to wondering if there are any other paintings to be had around the area. It doesn't take long for me to find an Estate Painting. Again I had seen this before, and I already have one of them. And they are very large too - great to fill an empty wall - and it's free! All very good reasons to press the 'X' and collect.


And there we have that empty space on the wall again. I didn't have time to find any more paintings. I have heard that there are free 'spoils' to be gained in most worlds within the Spiral. I'm sure it wouldn't take long to do some research and find them all. But that's for another day.

Perhaps you can tell me of some of the objects you have picked up on your travels, especially if there are more paintings - I am keen to expand my collection.

Until Next Time,
Tabitha

Alia's Sightseeing through the Spiral - I (Part 2)

My solution for Insane

The problem I found with Waterworks is that I just didn't have the money to level the towers up quickly enough to kill the enemy.  I had most success with the Myth towers and was using 6 of them to try to hit quickly. The problem was to increase their hits I needed a life tower.  Trying to level up everything though wasn't being affective, so I decided to get a life pet tower.  Although only at Ancient I was hoping it would be enough.

The solution other than the life pet, was death towers.  I still needed Myth towers, but some enemy were just too strong and needed to be taken out quickly so the Myth towers could concentrate on other enemies.  This picture shows the towers and setup I used to complete Waterworks.  And below is my medal, and although it is not silver or gold medal, I am very happy to tick it off the course with a Bronze medal.

Have fun :)

The Journey To Mega

Sooo, as most of you would know, I got 4 of the 5 talents that I want on an Epic pet a few days/weeks ago. I started training another pet as back up and now have two of the same pet, 'talent' wise (obviously different pedigree and stats but you know what I mean). This means one is going to Mega and I have chosen my first pet, Princess Cleo.
 Princess Cleo is the better of the two pets as she has better stats and that's the reason I'm taking her to Mega. I will keep everyone posted and will also bring out a Grub Guardian post in the meantime.

To train Princess Cleo I am only doing the dance game. Just because it is so much quicker and is fairly easy to do well in. So far Cleo is 811/2000 so she's almost halfway there.

Again, if anyone would like to hatch please post a date, time, timezone and your in-game name. Also make sure you have more than 50,000 gold.

Can't wait to see you there!

Alia's Sightseeing through the Spiral - I

I is for Insane and Impossible

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while.....I seem to have had a bit of a break from the spiral, and was brought back by an annoying problem.

I had been logging onto Grub Gardian and was just having fun completing all the different paths when I got stuck at one particular path ranked as "insane"......... so after continually being beaten by the game I decided it was time to pass this insane course.  I went through the process of trying all different types of towers but could only get to wave 4, before being beaten.

Ok.....time to train a new pet.  The storm pet wasn't hitting anything quickly enough and the only other fully developed pet I had was death.  Again not useful in this course, so for the first time I had to train a pet to use on Grub.

The course is Water Works, and this had been my best attempt yet.  Wave 1.  I ran out of good pet snacks so could only get my pet to ancient.  I decided that if I could get to wave 1, then maybe changing the strategy slightly might be enough to win.....

And guess what.......after a week or so of "on again, off again" trying I finally completed Waterworks on Grub Gardian.

Here is the screen shot of the time I got close.  Not quite the strategy I used to win..... Will post the winning strategy soon.  Until then, if you want an Insane challenge then this one will give you that.
There are probably tips and hints out there, but this one I wanted to accomplish on my own.

Enjoy :)

Minigame Madness Chapter 2

Welcome to my second chapter working through the minigames of Wizard city!

This game is one of my favorite minigames as it isn't only fun but there is also an element of skill needed when playing. 

When you start you are a little wizard on the bottom right of the screen and the aim of the game is to shoot your arrows at the creatures that come to fight you. The first enemy is a little skeleton that pops out of the ground to walk up and take a life from you. The skeleton is an easy enemy but unless you hit him on the head he will just pause for a moment.... if you are able to hit him on the head then he will just fall and you will gain points. The longer you remain and the more points you get... the more enemies that come out.

The next enemy is a fire elf that sits on the second top part of the castle and shoots arrows at you. To defeat him you must have enough "Bow Strength" and the right trajectory; also sometimes if you hit him he will drop a ruby -  shoot it before it disappears and you get an extra point!. If you are able to hold both of these enemies at bay then a third enemy will appear at the top of the castle, a skeleton mage that shoots fireballs at the player! The way to defeat this creature is the same as the fire elf. Sometimes when you defeat the mage he will drop a sapphire and it will react the same way as the ruby but is worth more points. The upside to the last two enemies is that their attacks can miss, and will sometimes not hit you for a decent amount of time - unlike the third and last enemy, Zeus!

He will appear in the sky above the play and rain down lightening bolts at you, and he never misses!! Also he moves back and forth between the castle top and the top right of the screen making him harder to hit with your arrows. Although these monsters may be hard to hit, they have one downside, you can shoot their projectiles to destroy them and stop them from hitting you. If you manage to hit Zeus sometimes he will drop a diamond, they are worth the most amount of points and are worth aiming for straight away!


This game was very enjoyable, and I will definitely come back if nothing else but for a bit of fun.

Can't wait to see you in game!

Random Hatching

Hey everyone,

As you know I have been over at (and enjoying) Celestia recently - specifically The Floating Land.

As usual I was solo questing and had only seen one other Wizard in the immediate area. I checked to see if this Wizard was going OK and then carried on with my quests - clearing some of the bosses in this region. The other Wizard was obviously just behind me in his quests, and he soon came over and asked for help in the boss fights. He was a Storm wizard, David, and wanted help with a Storm boss. I had recently completed this fight and knew it was no drama, so agreed to help him.

Patch, my Ianthine Hound was in good form during the battle. I was constantly ablaze with the yellow dome of Vengeance, coupled with a helping of Balance Blades and some largely un-needed Fairies. The Storm Wizard was impressed and asked if I would hatch.

To be honest I really wasn't bothered either way. I was happy with Patch, although I knew it was time to start thinking a new pet talents, I wasn't in any real hurry. I had lots of Gold, so I said 'Sure'. As soon as the battle was done we headed over to the Pet Pavilion Hatchery. David was really very pleased with the result, and it felt good to help out, so a win win situation. I didn't even look at the Pet I acquired. After 5 minutes I saw the little Pet indicator telling me my Pet was ready, and that it had some odd name - as always it seems! I just carried on doing what I was doing and didn't give it another thought.

Today I logged on and I thought I would check out the Pet. I had loads of Mega Snacks thanks to Couch Potatoes and Evil Magma Peas, and loads of energy as I am only growing 12 EMPs at the moment. Anyway, the Pet was Enchanted Armament. I had no clue whether this was good, bad or otherwise! The stats were all above 240 and I knew that was a fair start. The Pet comes with a Sharpened Blade at baby, which I thought may be pretty useful. Everything falls into place sometimes I guess, and I thought I had might as well do a bit of Pet training - see what this random hatch has produced.

My game of choice is always the Dance Game. It is quick and fairy easy. The first Talent reveal after 3 Mega Snacks is "Incredibly Infallible". I knew this spell well from my storm Toaddle, so I was encouraged to continue to Adult to see what would happen. Next up was "Ace Avenger".... hmmm two Astral MC Spells - this was new.

At this point I've still got heaps of energy and heaps of Mega Snacks left, so I decided to carry on through to Ancient - chasing a MC healing spell which I like to have in the mix. Lucky the whole process doesn't take long when you are feeding Fancy Yoghurt for each game....

And now I'd like to introduce "Lady Cleo", my latest Ancient Pet - complete with 2 Sharpened Blades and three May Cast Talents!

A totally unexpected result - a pet I was going to ditch to be honest. I've never used the sharpened blades before, but an extra 10% sounds pretty handy. Being a Death wizard with our own style of healing, a MC Healing pet isn't really necessary - although sometimes they can be very useful. At least I can be of use to others with the MC Unicorn.

So I'll keep this pet for a while, try it out on a few quests and then have a think about what to do. If I keep then I will definitely rename, though what to name a floating sword and shield? I'll miss having Patch at my feet though.... really do not like flying/floating pets at all.

Until Next Time,
Tabitha

The Changing Land

Hey everyone,



Finally got back to questing today, back to Celestia. You know I've resisted this land for so long, and for the life of me I have no idea why. Well I do. It was the submarine area. I disliked it with a passion.... then I found my way to the stars! The Celestian Art I have written of previously, was nothing short of awesome.

And I continue to love the District of the Stars. The moving stars in the sky, the movement of the astral items like the huge star chalice. And then today, I had to go get some air (in the game obviously), so I got to go 'up top'. And it changes completely. Seriously. This was completely unexpected.

And now i know where all the Water Mole items in the Bazaar come from too! And it has me wondering what else is around the corner. The world that I loved to hate is actually becoming a very pleasant place to be around. I mean who doesn't love a beach with an almost cloudless blue sky!

Can't wait to get back over there, so that's all until next time :)
