The Reneverian Hex

Oooh. Friendly Was Right!

2011-01-20T17:49:00.000-08:00

These Voki things are pretty cool. I didn't really like them at first cuz I didn't think they had robots.

They had robots.

That's Charm to the right. He's useless right now. But he's a robot. Nuff said. =]

Still fixing up the site.

EDIT: Ooh. First post of the year. Interesting =]

Happy Voki-ing!

Happy New Year!

2010-12-31T16:58:00.000-08:00

Have a really Happy New Year everybody! I'm going to be spending the next few days with my family! I'm sure you've all got exciting things in store for your family! Hope you enjoy yourselves!

Happy New Yearing!

Happy Holidays!

2010-12-24T21:11:00.000-08:00

Happy a Wonderful Holiday Season with all your families out there! I myself am heading out to Lake Tahoe to see my first snowfall! I thank you all for sticking around here at the Reneverian Hex! Season's greetings to everybody! =]

Happy Seasoning! ;)

Victory!

2010-12-23T23:35:00.000-08:00

At last I have obtained the powerful power of Power Nova! I took the liberty of heading to Grizzleheim to test it out. I think I'm going to enjoy it quite a bit!

I also had the liberty to do Mallistaire. Good fun. =]

Happy Soloing!

NOOOOOOO!

2010-12-22T01:25:00.000-08:00

3 seconds away from defeating Chronius the server went down for maintenance. I fizzled 3 TIMES IN A ROW, when he was about to die D=. It's horrid luck. The only thing that could make me happy right now. Is listening to these hilarious dialogues from Headmaster Ambrose xD...

I AM YOUR FATHE...

I mean, Happy Watching!

Silent Nightcaps Are Out!

Morganthe Wallpaper

2010-12-18T19:17:00.000-08:00

Thought I'd give it a shot. Watching Morganthe via one of Professor Halestrom's TV like inventions. =] Enjoy!

Click on the picture below to enlarge the actual size. =] By the way, for those of you who don't know TRH is The Reneverian Hex. ;)

Happy Wallpapering!

Wizard101 Celestia Commercial

2010-12-18T15:34:00.000-08:00

Just saw this on TV. Morganthe just looks so amazingly sick I had to share it in case you guys didn't see it yet. Best commercial ever!

Waiting on Aide

2010-12-16T17:17:00.000-08:00

Yep. I'm waiting for Melissa to log on. I think finishing the Crystal Grove might get me to 48. I hope so! I was sad to discover that yes in fact, powerleveling had been removed, but I could still use higher level wizards to smack my way through the lower worlds. =] In the meantime I'll keep staring at this screen, waiting for it to say Melissa has logged on. Blah!

Happy Waiting!

Power Nova Day 3

2010-12-14T17:51:00.000-08:00

And still trying... I really need that Nova xD... It's so bad I can't stand it O_o'

I mean, I feel like really, I created it >_> I probably didn't, but nobody's ever confirmed to me when I asked them where they got their idea from. I remember a while ago, there was a thread on the thoughts of old power nova. It was originally, give 2 pips to all your friends. I suggested, that it do damage instead and additionally gave a weaken to each monster. When it got released I was bragging to all my friends, "Haha, KingsIsle took my suggestion!"

Regardless, even if they didn't get the suggestion from me. I had the idea before it came out, back when people wanted Nova to hit damage to everybody and have a 50% chance to KO everybody. Yeah, I'm sure that'll go into game, not that Ra's far behind on that idea...

Happy Suggesting!

Ask Jinx! Third Edition

2010-12-13T16:11:00.000-08:00

Hi guys! I got a question in the mail recently, so I'll let Jinx take over and answer it! =] Take it away Jinx!

Thanks... Sigh. Alright, let's get this over with. So, yeah... Here's the question.

Diana
I am looking for the gardening guys in each world. Is there a list somewhere?

Yeah! To answer your question. There IS a list for the Gardening Moles in each world. And it's located, in none other than this very site! How convenient!

In This Post Chase tells us where he finds all of the current Gardeners. Just so you don't have to go aaaaall the way back there to find it, though I'll just tell you here. You can find the Gardeners in Golem Court in Wizard City, next to the Pyramid in the Oasis in Krokotopia, in MooShu in the little shopping area of the commons, you can't miss him, and In Celestia, just in the commons. I hope this helps!

Thanks Jinx! Alright, guys. I'm off to go get that Nova... Maybe I shouldn't SAY that, because then I won't actually do it >_> I need to go find my Storm Friend who'll just push my way through DragonSpyre. ^_^'

Happy Leveling!

Broken Promises...

2010-12-13T12:42:00.001-08:00

Ok... So I broke that promise. It's harder than I thought to go up 2 levels in a few hours. I'm gonna try to use the Lunarium/Portico to power level Oran, my balance wizard. It only gives me about 10k exp per run. So let's see how that goes. I'm at school right now, but wish me luck when I get home guys xD

This I Swear!

2010-12-12T14:07:00.000-08:00

THIS. IS. WIZARD 101! - kicks Mallistaire into a dark pit -

I NEED to get this Nova Card. And I'm not stopping today till I get it! I need to kick everything in my way into a dark pit that's an obvious reference to the movie 300. Well... Maybe I'll just use Judgement and Hydra for the time being... >_>

Happy Spell-Achieving!

Lyrics to Marleybone Anthem

2010-12-11T19:01:00.000-08:00

I created lyrics to the Marleybone Anthem! =] I hope you guys like them! I know I've been singing them for quite a while. More to come!

Marleybone Anthem

In Marleybone's eternal night, the stars and the moon will arise...

In Marleybone, the home of hounds... The moonlight's all, that lights your path...

Beware, beware! All's not as it seems. There's danger lurking in all of good ol' Marleybone.

Burglars. Clockwork drones. Spiders. Chimney Sweeps. Mazes. Hidden Doors. And so much more.

We're all in need, of a hero to praise. We're all in need, of a hero to revere!

But. Don't you fear. You're not alone. We are here. By your side.

Together. We will stand! For we shall end this disorder, with logic and tact.

~Instrumental Pause (Sounds Same as Line the third line)~

In Marleybone! In Marleybone! All hope is not lost. Fight back bretheren!

~Instrumental Ending~

Balance has it's disadvantages...

2010-12-11T14:09:00.000-08:00

And by this I mean... This game can never be 100% bug free. =(

They got rid of several bugs. But now there's a big one =( Quest Help doesn't work! D= It's busted. Which I mean. I'm just sad because I got used to it, so now I have to go back to my old days, when I pressed M every 3 seconds, to see where I was going. I hope they fix it soon though.

EDIT: By this I mean. It stays completely static. Nooooo movement or number changing whatsoever.

RE-EDIT: It seems to be fixed O_o' Maybe it was just one of those small bugs that only effects 1 person for like an hour or so. *shrugs* KI's still #1 then! x]

Happy M-pressing!

EVERYTHING's Live

2010-12-10T17:38:00.000-08:00

And I just need to say. Bravo KingsIsle. In this update, KI has somehow managed to fix each and every single well known bug, as well as release Gardening.

A few things to note though:

Balance Wizards: You guys are now better helpers. You can now use Helping Hands to revive friends! =] This is just one of those reasons I stopped working on Oran, my Balance Master. I hated having a Half-Heal spell. It now does 50+490 over 3 turns I believe. I think this is pretty deadly. With a Sanctuary goin' on, and a Guiding Light, you can effectively heal someone back up to most of their HP in no time. For 3 pips. Also! Unbalance has been added to Mildred Farseer. Balance Wizards should enjoy this dispell card, but so should most of you who hate fighting Balance in PvP.

Want some advice? Pop an Unbalance in your deck. Then when you fight a Sorcerer, keep it on the side, and right before they attack. BAM. Dispell. It'll hurt them so bad. They might as well lose. Keep shielding yourself from their attack in the meantime though, just in case! ;)

More in a while.

Happy Unbalancing!

The Soundtracks!

2010-11-30T19:32:00.000-08:00

Here's the Marleybone Anthem soundtrack! It's my personal favorite. I'll put more up as I record them. But so far, I haven't found this soundtrack ANYWHERE. So I recorded it myself. =] Enjoy!

Wizard 101 Central Spell Lists Down?

2010-11-29T19:02:00.000-08:00

I checked my Spells bar up there in the Naviation Bar, just to see if everything was in order. And after a long load, it opened Wizard 101 Central's spell list. But something seems to have happened to all the pictures, they're not showing. This is kinda what I meant by something going wrong at Wizard 101 Central. I'll see about the Wizard 101 Wiki instead perhaps. The only problem there is risk of vandalism. But I'll keep a close eye on the spells sections.

It could also just be MY computer. So I'd appreciate if someone would tell me if at this moment in time you guys can see the spells from the Spell button up there. Thanks!

Also. Test Realm is now "Officially" open. xD So I'm about to go see what they changed.

Happy Spell-ing!

My gosh...

2010-11-27T20:39:00.000-08:00

I need another post. The other one was FULL. xD If I find another Gardener I'll post it there. But anyways. This is a short one. I harvested ALL my Boom Shrooms. And I noticed, that they all gave me Reagents.

So... I'm starting to notice a pattern here. My Desparagus ONLY gave me Minion Stuff. (Shield Minion for instance). My Honey Sickles ONLY give me blade cards. My Boom Shrooms, ONLY give me Reagents. I don't know what rank of reagent. But I did take a Screenshot of my crop harvest. =]

Make of it what you wish. x]

Also, I'll talk a tiny bit about Celestian furniture, by saying. I love the wall fountains.... Although, they're MUCH bigger than I expected. Here's how I placed them in my house... I didn't notice, but they match my wall perfectly with the stars! =D

You should pick some of those up. AND the Fish Fountain. I recommend it.

One last thing to say. Gardening space glitch. I have nowhere near the limit for overall max plants. And yet I can't plant anymore. D= So unfair. Here's what I mean.

SO UNFAIR! =[ Now my Stinkweed's all anti-symmetrical. =/ But ah well. I'm sure they'll fix it once Test opens fully, right now it's like we're just viewing the blueprints.

P.S. I think I saw Friendly, but I got disconnected for inactivity. xD Just in case he reads this and thinks I was being rude. xD OH, I'm Chase Silverbane, by the way. I say that, because last time I saw Friendly, I was chasing him down because he must have thought I was a paparazzi fan or something. xD Got stuck on a rock, and I lost him. Meh. I need to put somewhere visible on this site, that I'm Chase Silverbane. x]

Happy Harvesting!

Hello Marley, Charley and Harley!

2010-11-27T19:43:00.000-08:00

Well. I've been procastinating searching for another gardener for a while now. But now that I got around to it, I thought about it. What world is the most lucious, and full of plants? My thoughts? MooShu. So I popped on over to MooShu, and low and behold! I found this person on my first try! Meet Marley, the advanced Gardener.

I just gotta say something right now. Is Marley trying to bankrupt me? O_o 25k for a spell that removes all types of pests seems a bit much. But ah well. Hopefully the rewards from bigger plants more than make up for the over cost of all these spells.

Marley has some good spells though. All those Sun, Water, Music etc spells seem to affect a large area. Probably like the area of Pest Zapping? And of course, enchanted Med. soil and Enchanted Lrg. Soil. But I'm wondering. If he gives out Enchanted Med and Lrg soil. Who gives out Enchanted Small and Normal Lrg soil? O_o

I'm sure Marley and Farley aren't the only gardeners around. I can visualize a Marleybonian and Krokotopian pair of pots. Although, I think Marley would be better suited in... What else? MARLEYbone. Haha. Good luck getting to that coveted rank 5 Gardener! I'll try my best, but no promises. xD

Happy Bankrupting!

EDIT: I found Charley.

LOVELY! xD I like his spells. Pretty useful, if they can reach the width I have my plants in. I don't have them all together. Charley's spells have a Medium reach. And there's that Ench. Sml. Soil and Large Soil I was looking for. Also. Take a look at those wacky bushes. The berries are slices of bread. Haha! Caught me off guard.

*I searched all over Marleybone. No sign of another Mole. I even checked Digmoore Station. =/ I was hoping for a Barkley or Barley! =[

EDIT(again...): I found Harley.

Unexpectedly, I found another one on Celestia. Say hello to Harley!

Here's what he has to offer...

I love those pots! But now I'm starting to get irritated. I haven't found the Marleybone gardener... I really... REALLY... Want those Marleybone pots... To Match my MARLEYBONE house... With my MARLEYBONE furniture... And my MARLEYBONE clothes, that I stitched... Because my favorite world is MARLEYBONE... *pant* *pant*

Sorry... xD But as you can see... I'm a bit of a Marleybone afficionado. I checked Grizzleheim and Dragonspyre. Didn't find any Gardeners there either. Can you guys check those places too? AND Marleybone of course. xD I haven't found any to any avail. Or at least. Where I can get some of the Marleybone pots. xD

My First Elder Plant!

2010-11-27T02:34:00.000-08:00

Just a quick update before I go to sleep! I logged in to check on my plants, and found this beauty waiting for me! My Honey Sickle turned into a lovely Elder Plant! =]

Elder Sickle! =] I should have left it like this =(

Needless to say. I'm rank 2 now! =] I'll check in tomorrow on the rest of my plants. I expect to see a ton of Elders and Matures! =D

Happy Eldering!

Ah. The Sweet Smell of HTMLs

2010-11-26T15:06:00.000-08:00

My library was throwing out a book, called Building a Web Site for Dummies. So, I asked them if I could have it and they were more than happy to hand it over. So I started reading, and it mentioned some of the things I wanted to do to this site. =] One of the things I still need however, is Javascript. So I can do cool effects, like Mouseover.

Needless to say however, I learned a LOT on how to fix this site up. For instance, you'll notice, I finally figured out how to expand my posting and sidebar range. I've moved around some of the things, like the Search Bar. I think it looks nicer up there, don't you? I also managed to get it down at the bottom of the page too. So, no more scrolling all the way back up! =]

One of the BIG things I managed to do however, which I should be making more often, is I made a Website on Dreamweaver, and I uploaded it onto the web! =]

The site I made, is a chart with all the Schools of Magic on it (Part of the Wizard 101 Fankit ;) Be sure to check it out) AND, all you need to do is click on the symbol for the school, and it'll take you to the Wizard 101 Central site for those spells. In the future though, I'll make a separate website for each of the school spells, just in case something happens over at Wizard Central, like a server meltdown, or a nuclear explosion. Or something. Maybe someone spills some coffee? D=

Anyways, you all probably know Gardening's out on Test.

Here's the lowdown on it!

When you turn level 12, Moolinda sends you a message to come see her. After gloating about how it's her job as the Life Teacher, to teach you about gardening, she sends you to Farley to do it instead. Silly Moolinda... Farley's a mole. I think... Farley will explain the different stages of a plant's life and how to help them grow up nice and strong. =]

Basically. Buy a pot from Farley. Not sure what the difference between Enchanted and Normal is, but maybe Enchanted makes it grow faster? You can also use the rank 1 Small Soil spell, and if you can, the rank 2 Medium Soil, spell. Then you plant the seed in it, and just take care of it when it needs something. My only complaint is that it takes Pet Energy to be able to use Gardening spells. A dark green extra orb wouldn't hurt. Heck, they could sell a Garden Master suit, and make even more money!

I already got started gardening. Here's what I had on the first 2 days:

Playing around with the pest removal spell on my Young Plant.

Inspecting it once it's almost Mature. OUCH!

Growing an Army in my Throne Room! Muahahah!

Eventually... After enough love and patience...

My Honey Sickles Grew!

My Royal Bomb Squad!

So did the ones in my Garden! =D

And course... Pay off, for all my hard work!

Harvesting?...

Ka-Ching!

Happy Gardening! AND Happy Black Fridayning!

Celestia Adventures!

2010-10-11T15:48:00.000-07:00

I finished uploading ALL my pictures. And I turned them into a YouTube slideshow. I'll be uploading it here soon, when it finishes uploading. It's from the start of my Adventures in the Survey Camp, to the End fighting of the Protector of Celestia's magic, and of course exploring Celestia a while after having defeated it. =]

Video's up! And here ya go! =]

Here's the link so you can see it in full screen, and you can read most of the words. =]

Hope you enjoy!

WHOO!

2010-10-10T23:30:00.001-07:00

Finished Celestia! Got my Skeletal Dragon! And now the only challenging task left, is to give you the entire story of my adventures in Celestia. I'm just going to upload my pictures and name them all. Blargh. I have too many.

Happy Picture Sorting!

Get Ready!

2010-10-10T10:28:00.000-07:00

For a BIG post. I'm plowing straight through Celestia, and I'm in the middle of retreiving the Sun Stone. So when I finish, I'll show you pictures of all the stuff along the way, and my adventures from the start to finish of Celestia. And boy is it a LOT.

Also, yesterday many players became aware a BIG bug. When players needed to activate the moon portal, it wouldn't work. I worked around it, and raced to it while he world loaded and it worked. Good luck with that T_T

On a side note. On my first day of Celestia, I spotted the Legendary Thomas Lionblood! I chased after him but he escaped. I'll keep a sharp lookout for him. O_o

YESSSS!!!!!?!?!?!?!

2010-10-08T23:02:00.001-07:00

https://www.wizard101.com/game/community/updatenotes

YES? YES! - runs over to stranger's house -

HEY YOU!

Stranger: ?!?!?!

GUESS WHAT?!

Stranger: What?

YES!

- runs out door to get on Test Realm and train in Star magic -

That would be cool... =D

2010-09-17T18:48:00.001-07:00

Sorion Hex Todd. Can you make it so we can revisit Selena dancing with the crabs inside the castle? Or even better, a minigame like Dance Dance Revolution, where Selena is practicing with the crabs, and you have to tap the arrow keys at the right time to the rhythm to keep them on beat. =]

2nd Annual Haunted Back-to-School Bash Kicks Off This Weekend!

By Fallon Shadowblade, on August 25th, 2010

Greetings!!! This weekend we are presenting our 2nd Annual Haunted Back-to-School Bash! Last year we had lots of fun in Nightside. This will be an event for everyone to get together after a long summer as we all transition back-to-school. The Spiral changes as our children and friends become busier with academics of another sort and may not have time to be as social. This will give us a chance to reflect on the past few months of playtime and wish the best of luck to those going back to school!

Date: August 28, 2010

Time: 6PM Central/7PM Eastern

Where: Nightside, Vampire Realm, Area 1

We hope to see everyone from Ravenwood Radio, The Friendly Necromancer, The Petnome Project and the W101 Bloggers Club.

You can RSVP here.

Just saw this over at Fallon's Blog. Seems like it'll be a pretty sweet shindig! (Am I allowed to speak Marleybonian here?)

I'm pretty sure I'll be heading there. I'll probably bring Melissa along, so if you'd like to meet us, I'll be Chase Silverbane, and she'll be the girl with me ^_^

Happy Shindigging!

Heads Up!

2010-08-06T21:56:00.001-07:00

I'd also like to point out that summer is ending, and as we all know, that means Celestia is as close as possible as being released!

Also, Wizard 101's pulling ahead nicely! Check out how it's going so far...

2010-08-04T19:25:00.001-07:00

Yep yep, it's my birthday today! I'm officially the big 1-6 today. I NEED to get my license, then things will be alright! =D

What better way to celebrate the Partying Down at the Test Realm?

What the heck are you waiting for? Get on TEST REALM!

Oh Please Saint Bernard...

2010-07-31T23:56:00.000-07:00

Wolf became a Grandmaster today! So after the bit 50 shocked me, I immediately equipped my level 50 gear that I'd been saving for the moment. Cept for the shoes >_> Den't got those O.o

But I've started also, getting more into the Pet Pavillion. And I noticed this Crow pet for Death... What interested me however, was the card. It hit damage, and then beguilled them for 1 turn. I personally think that's incredible, that card alone is a game changer if you're a death person.

Although, soon after I went to the Arena just to browse through some of their selections, and I noticed the Myth Imp. The myth imp as you may or may not know, does some damage, and then apparently adds a Strangle and Entangle to the opponent. I was in utter shock of that. It was literally more exciting than when I got my Orthrus card... [Although still not THAT exciting ;) ] So here's what went through in my mind...

1 spell that hits low damage and then has a useful effect + 1 spell that hits low damage and then has a useful effect + new spells coming out (hopefully) with Celestia = These might be the new level 60 spells.

To be honest I don't except a rank 8 spell to come out with Celestia. I just really don't see it coming. If they do keep up the patten, then I can see in the future some EPIC spells requiring 14 pips. And THAT is a scary future...

The same thing happened with Infection. I think... I originally saw Infection from the necklace and said to myself, I WANT THAT. So I bought it, and liked it. And then it got released to the public and I was like ............. So now it's just sitting in my inventory gathering dust... That's why I'm not getting the Crow pet, I MIGHT get the Myth Imp.

So I went to Marleybone to go pray that at the very least Crow gets released normally to Death students...

I'll offer you a bone?

Hopefully he answers my prayers...

Happy Praying!

Long Time No See?

2010-06-19T21:48:00.000-07:00

So you've probably noticed. I haven't done a post in over a month. And the frank straight out reason is that I need a break from Wizard 101. I don't know if you guys feel the same, I don't expect you to. But after playing Wizard 101 awhile it gets boring... I just need a break from Wizard 101 playing some other games with action and adventure for a while. I'll probably be back from this break in a few weeks. But yeah, no use writing about it if I'm not interested in it. When Wizard 101 gets a bit more exciting I should be back ;D

Curses!

2010-04-30T20:02:00.000-07:00

Darn you Friendly Necromancer! xD I was originally planning to do what you can see Friendly did xD But he beat me to it >_>

So, I'm gonna cover some of the stuff nobody else seems to have covered. Pet Pavillion isn't the ONLY thing released you know? Stick around for me hopefully getting to it first xD

On a side note... I have been OWNING at the Pet Derby... NOBODY beats me xD Friendly Necromancer, I challenge you, Christina, and your wife to a Pet Derby race! xD

Test Realm Day 1

2010-04-29T22:03:00.000-07:00

Ok so, I've been on Test Realm all day! that's like 6 hours... And I'm exhausted. BUT I took a ton of pictures and I'm going to explain them all to you as soon as I post them up here.

Stay tuned eh?

So... Pets?

2010-04-28T17:22:00.000-07:00

So I'm sitting here. Watching TV and suddenly I see a Wizard 101 commercial. And I recognize that the music is different. So I sit down to watch it, and it's a commercial about pets.

So here's a math question for you.

Sorion + Drink + Drinking + Wizard 101 Commercial + Stunned = ?

That's exactly what happened. I nearly choked! I'm sitting here drinking, and when he says, now more fun with pets, I forgot to swallow and a lot of orange juice went down my throat unswallowed xD So yeah!

GO NOW! GO MATES! It's time to get our pet groove on =)

Come on Gizmo! Let's head on out!

Happy Racing! =)

Celestia is getting SO much closer...

2010-04-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

And I can't wait! I'm like at a loss, on whether to be excited for Celestia coming, or it being totally WATER based...

See, in any game I play... I've always had an... Affinity I suppose you could say, to water... I'll go for Ice/Water/Or Necromancers in any game... And it's mainly because... Water rocks man. I can't stress that enough. Heck you need it to survive.

Anyways, expect Celestia. We ALL know it's coming out in June now. Or at least the quests are. COME ON, I cannot wait xD Maybe they'll finally release that mission Grizzleheim house too xD Meh one can only dream...

Also, a thought came to me... If we're getting new Astral schools... Then shouldn't that mean, new Astral Themed School houses?... Just a thought. Lemme know what you think about that idea, I'd LOVE to see some Astral houses. Maybe like, NEON O.o

Well I'll catch ya later.

Happy Speculating!

A Prismatic Morphemic Suggestion

2010-03-23T21:42:00.000-07:00

Ello mates! As you know, I've been thinking about a new card that maybe Sorcerer's might like. I thought about it for a while, on if I should suggest it due to the fact that it might be overpowered. And then I realized that it wouldn't be overpowered at all.

First of all, it's not an attack card. No damage or anything, it's just a trap.

Second of all, if it's placed in game in Celestia, then by the time you get there, what would you possibly storm through?

And third of all, hydra and spectral blast have it's limits, considering how Balance monsters have no weakness to Elemental attacks.

So, after all that, I would say that I have 3 card suggestions for you. Only this one that I'm showing you is my full invention though. The other 2 developed from it, but the other might actually overpower Sorcerer's a bit...

Mystic prism. It's ability is like most other prisms. Switches incoming Balance damage into something else.

Wow Sorion! That's awesome! Now I can own everything! Nah. The hitch is, that the Mystic Prism is SO overcharged with all the Magical Schools, that it will convert the Balance Damage into a random school element. That could be bad or good for you depending on your situation. We don't know.

But yeah, that's about it. The other 2 were Elemental and Spectral Prism. Spectral Prism would way overpower Sorcerers. NOTHING would be able to be resistant against them. Waaaaaay bad. And then Elemental Prism has a bit more prowess. I could really see that in game too. But Mystic Prism seems more fun. I suppose if anything, using a Judgement card with the prism on a Balance monster, will let you hit normal damage, unless of course there's shields. But yeah, lemme know what you think. Anyway to improve it? Like the idea? Hate it? OR am I just crazy? Probably...

P.S. Thanks for reading the blog guys, Eternally Green is about to reach 1k viewers. I reached 1k a while ago. I'm not sure if I made a big deal out of it... Maybe I didn't notice... - facepalm - Either way though! We're halfway past 1k so nice job guys! Stuff like that makes me wanna not drop a Nuclear bomb on the entire world while I lie safely in a bunkhouse on the moon, if you get what I'm saying... "Caphishe?" Thanks a lot guys! I wrote this AFTER this post so... Here comes the Happy ___________ing! =)

Happy Prism-ating!

I was WRONG! =(

2010-03-06T12:49:00.000-08:00

Darn! I knew I should have chosen water based... Darn you Northern Lights! But yeah take a look at this...

1st Place, Wizard City... Not sure how though... Considering it's not exactly the strongest World >_> No offence.

2nd Place Krokotopia... Again... I was Expecting MooShu or DragonSpyre or Grizzleheim there...

3rd Place, Celestia... Yeah I guess they must have failed the swimming competition... Silly Lobster people...

And then we see the little Ninja Pig there... He's mad because there's no 4th place... That crab dude can handle him though... ;)

And yeah... That's about it... Tune in next time for anoth... HOLY PIGGLE DROPPINGS?!

IS THAT A LOBSTER MAN?! IS HE HOLDING A SPEAR?! CELESTIA CAME IN THIRD?! IS HE A PET?!(He's probably also an NPC, no worries)

- coughing from the loud words -

This is HUGE... I can't believe this...

Still the debate's still up for grabs... Sure we've got lobster people. Sure they come from the water. But we still don't know what Celestia will be like. I would like if it were underwater... And we had swimming animations... That would be SICK... Then again, I wouldn't be bummed out if it was like a beach world... Still would prefer water though... >_> And then... I would LOVE if it was both... The Spiral Door is located on shore... And somebody's there to greet us... Larry Lobster up there... Then he explains how he can cast a spell on us to allow us to breath underwater... And then... He says... Go ahead down into the water... And... BAM! BAM! BAM! Into the water! And into the Commons! The Great Barrier Reef! Probably not... But we'll see...

Oh don't think I left you hanging on that balance card... I just realized that I have to make one from scratch =P It won't look as pretty as a normal card but eh... I might make it techno for the sake of cardlore...

But yeah! Wow! Here's the official link to everything: Ravenwood News Bulletin

Don't forget to pick up some St. Patrick's Day weapons soon... Wow, wow, wow this is epic... I don't think people care about St. Patrick's Day with all THIS!

Cheers mates!

Happy Swimming!

Baby, please, I can change...

2010-02-27T22:38:00.000-08:00

This Monday, Wednesday, Friday thing isn't working out >_> I keep forgetting. So it's back to whenever I can <_>

Anyways, now that my new computer's up and running, I'm gonna have a special card suggestion for you guys. I'm still broken between 3 cards. So I'll show you what my ideas are. Stick around for a Balance card <_>

Happy Suggesting!

Oh dear! I'm Late! The Queen, she'll have my head!

2010-02-23T18:55:00.000-08:00

Yeah yeah, I'm late... I just moved into this brand new 25" HP computer with Windows 7 yesterday, and had an incredibly hectic day...

So...

Let's pretend it's Monday...

My brothers are advancing nicely... For the moment I'm in retirement <_<... Till Celestia comes out anyways...

Oran, I must help Oran! Because... He's in Spyre... and I want him to finish the game already... xD To become a PvP master!

Check back in tomorrow, to see how far Oran makes it in one day...

Cheers mates!

Happy Leveling!

Back and Pretending Nothing Happened T-T

2010-02-19T23:10:00.000-08:00

Right! I'm back mates! And I've just bought myself a set of Seraph Wings (I don't support evil T-T) and that staff Friendly mentioned. I honestly never realized what a big advantage it gave... I mean, 2 pips spells in Wizard 101 and Krok usually blast through everything when you're level 5+...

It's amazing...

By the way...

Happy Valentine's Day to anybody who realized it was... Actually! I have a Valentine's Day post for you, left in storage! Gasp, it's like destiny... Go up to the link bar at the top and click Holidays and voila, you should find a Valentine's Day post for ya! =D

On a side note, I might need some more crowns to buy the mace and the sword... Although I still think we're gonna need Ultra Pips soon. (Ultra Pip = 3 pips) I would think, once you reach 100% Power Pip chance, you start reaching the chance to get Ultra Pips.

Anyways, about future posts, I'm gonna now post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, to make it a bit easier on my busy schedule and so you guys can have a more predictable post to look forward to.

So, the wings... They are epic.

They are so smooth, I haven't gotten stuck ONCE at any corners and what not. It's like flying... I personally wouldn't have minded it to be a tad bit higher, but I don't mind much, wings are wings right?

Next week, I might find myself buying either 5,000 crowns or another 10,000 crowns to get the sword.

Note: The Sword is DEATH... Do you have ANY idea how perfect that is? Here I am, without Ivan's Sword... And then this wonderful sword that is the best in the game comes along... And it's death... It's like KingsIsle just came by to drop by the answer to the universe.

Did anybody else think, that these weapons are a preview to the Celestia world? Bet you are now ;)
If I remember right, a mate over in Marleybone mentions a "golden" pocketwatch from Celestia...

If you ask me, those weapons look pretty golden and fancy to me O.o (Celestia = Seraph birthplace!) =D

So yeah, I'll drop by in a few minutes to upload some pictures of Wolf in MooShu having fun with his Seraph wings.

Melissa's gonna be sooooo jealous >=) Cheers mates!

Happy Flying!

I think I've Snapped...

2010-02-10T13:35:00.000-08:00

Hey guys... Sorry for the long time no post... But I borrowed my friend's phone to post this. As of now I'm in the Hospital. No need for alarm, I just fell off a chair and my leg got broken, so I have to stay in the hospital for a ~~month~~ [misleading nurse O.o It was actually 2 weeks =P]. I'm pretty sure I get out of here in a few more days. Honestly I miss playing Wizard =( But it was nice to get back in touch with you guys O. o So yeah. =) I'll be back soon enough >=)

Happy Snapping!

NPC of the Day

2010-01-27T19:11:00.000-08:00

Ello fellows Wizards! I've been working on something =P I love Friendly's cards, and I decided I wanted to make some of my own. But then I realized, that I couldn't find a single darn template for cards. Go figure, maybe I just can't find any xD

So I decided, to give up, and make my own cards. Obviously, as you can see by my blog here, I love technology xD Anything that looks digital and cybernetic. I ALSO realized, that we ignore the NPCs a lot. Friendly does a great job with spells and players, but I haven't found a single place where anybody's made any cards of the NPCs... Since this is the first day, I won't be using an actual NPC today, instead I made one of myself ^_^ so you can see how the cards look like. =)

Right! I misspelled spiral xD But we'll pretend the world misspelled sprial =) That's how all the future NPC cards are gonna look, the NPCs should all feel better and drop their lawsuits now! ^_^

*NPCs leave with their lawyers*

Happy Technological Creations!

Ask Jinx! Second Edition

2010-01-17T22:22:00.000-08:00

Ello mates! It's been a long time since you guys sent in some questions. Again! Remember you can send them to Spidercliff@live.com with your in game name and I'll have them answered. But I've gotten a few this week. So Jinx is ready to answer! X_x Some of these are strategy questions, and the some are asking about equipment.

Before we start though. Our hearts go out to those affected in the Haiti Earthquake. If you would like to help please donate to the American Red Cross International Response

And now on with the show.

Ask Jinx!

Sigh... You know the deal... Need I even talk?

Ivan MoonWeaver asks...

i heard about this boss in dragonspyre thats a big pain my friend told me that she usess all these shields and stuff making her nearly impossible to beat. who is she and how are yo usupposed to beat her?

Right... Well I believe the boss you're talking about is Mavra Flamewing...

Well basically, this battle isn't as hard as your friend makes it sound. It's true that she gets heavily shielded. But you shouldn't worry about that. When you first talk to her she's going to be saying. Shield yourself, defend yourself. Ignore her. She's storm so if you're myth, this is a god sent boss. Your Earthquake and Minotaur will eat through her shields and if not, well it's not the end of the world. She's really your main target. She comes along with 2 Protection Pox, which are mainly the ones who keep dishing out the shields to her. Ignore them for the time being. You should really focus on her. Once she's out of the way then it's all downhill from there. If you're going to be at least a little bit protective, I suggest you bring some sort of Storm Shield. Anything more is useless. Once you've got her down, just attack until the Pox die. It might take a while though what with all the shields. You should get a minion out in case you run out of cards and for some strange reason don't have Reshuffle. Her minions CAN use Spirit shield... It's annoying we know, and they can use them repeatedly, but if you're death you can just by pass those... If you're myth just break them down with a good Earthquake if you have it. And for the rest of you, just smack away until they all break, you and your minions.

Phew... Next question.

Haley IronBane asks...

My myth friend just reached level 41 and he told me that he was already set for DragonSpyre. He told me that his main character that's a life guy, got the best myth hat and traded it via the bank to him. But when I went to check on Central, I saw that it said no trade. Is he lying or is it something else I'm missing?

Hmm... Well... I believe this is the hat you're talking about?

I see what you mean here. It clearly says no trade doesn't it? However, I believe sometime during a recent update those types of hats were made tradeable. I know this for a fact, because Chase found that exact same hat, and traded it to his younger brother Wolf. By the way on a side note... Your friend isn't exactly "set" in DragonSpyre yet. One, he has to be a Grandmaster to wear that hat. He's gonna be in MooShu clothing for about 9 levels if he's gonna wait. And then there's the robe, and shoes, and athame, and ring, and deck, and sword, and pet. So... You might be busy soon helping him farm for all those!

Well that's all for today... Chase has some silly book thing going on, so stay tuned for that... And a new post for a spell suggestion many of you balance wizards will love...

This has been Jinx signing out... Stay evil... >=)

Happy Eviling!

BriskBreeze Tower... A Place... Of EBIL!

2010-01-12T18:22:00.000-08:00

Right so... Melissa, her mother, and I all went into BriskBreeze tower cold, only rumors as knowledge.

Originally I'd heard about the bosses being able to skip you... The meteors... The works!

So I made sure to be careful of course. I have to say however, that KingsIsle designed this place, to wipe you out on your first shot if you haven't experienced it before... Here's the video of our first shot going inside... Our strategy was simple, kill the Scarecrow quickly and then worry about the measly little minion...

I'm sure KingsIsle realized most of us think like that xD (Scroll down to the bottom of the page to pause the music if it disturbs your viewing)

Ouch... Needless to say we tried it again, in full knowledge of what awaited now. (Well not really but at least that first boss ^_^)

We defeated him. And then we realized he was only the first of the weakest... And then we ran into all sorts of problems with computers and stuff xD

Gee, we're horrible! But, needless to say... We shall venture into that dark place again in the future... Why? I am down to 2 single quests! That, and to craft Marleybone items... Scrap Iron hates me so... This comes first! ^_^

In other news! I'm at a party right now at Stormdrain Tower. I can barely walk >_> So head on over to Test Realm and help crash these servers! =D You also get some crowns just for logging in. Only on Test Though! X_x

Happy Rescuing!

The History of the Spiral Series: Marleybone

2010-01-11T19:41:00.000-08:00

With Marleybone now being an independent world on its own. Its inhabitants began to adapt to their surroundings. Marleybone luckily, was a piece of the First World filled with rich resources. It natives began to advance and develop and thus began the civilizations of Marleybone. The Dogs of Marleybone were originally tribes who warred with each other constantly. Peace was at a loss during this period of time. But a great hunter by the name of Beormutt defeated all of the other clans in a mighty battle. The Dogs realized what a waste of life it was to war, and it was then sworn that all Dogs should only strive for peace. Over the years Marleybone began to advance in both technology and the arts. While the idea of kings became more and more despised, the Marleybonians became interested in ancient Marleybone, thus began the era of what is now known as, The Rebirth. The idea of kings was lost, and the most brilliant of Marleybone were the poets and the scientists, such as Lady Chelsea and Sir Laurence Hyde. With this great new age of rediscovering ancient knowledge, new inventions were born, one of the most notable being the printing press. The Rebirth not only affected the sciences, but the kingdom itself, starting with Queen Ellen. One day, a popular printer ended up in prison because he spoke out against the government. The people were outraged and a revolt seemed likely. However, Queen Ellen released him and formed a parliament. This period of time was named, the Golden Age. The Golden Age forever changed science in Marleybone, but the greatest of the discoveries, would be made by Herold Digmoore. Herold Digmoore studied ancient myths for parliament. One evening he spoke a line of ancient text and suddenly found himself in Wizard City! With the discovery of the Spiral and of power, new scientific inventions were inspired, as well as the exploration of other worlds and of their ancient past. Science and magic were now moving at a faster pace than ever seen before in Marleybone. Life became leisure as Marleybonians no longer had to do hard jobs like farming. However, the advances allowed certain individuals to become more powerful than others. Marleybone had been stable for a long time, but the shifts of power could eventually come to unbalance Marleybone’s stability. But so long as peace reigned in Marleybone, other worlds would look to Marleybone for enlightenment and knowledge. Eventually, peace was disrupted in Marleybone as the Civil War began. The sneaky Cats began to fight with the Dogs and soon a war broke out. Eventually after much struggling, the Dogs of Marleybone had won the war. Peace had been restored for the time being. But years later, rumors of a cat gang began to arise…

The History of the Spiral Series: The First World

2010-01-11T18:26:00.000-08:00

In the beginning the land was peaceful. It was just Lady Nightstar and Bartleby. The Great Tree and the Great Raven. Together and happy, but they soon became lonely. Their loneliness led them to the decision to create children. They created the fierce Dragons, the powerful Tritons, and the might Giants. The children divided the First World upon themselves. The Dragons took the land, the Giants ruled from the skies, and the Tritons controlled the seas. Peace reigned during this time. But as with all things, peace does not last forever. Soon they began to fight over what each other owned, and who was the most powerful. Thus they created what we now know of, as the first schools of magic. The Dragons began using powerful spells of Fire in defense against the Tritons and the Giants. The Giants developed the magic of Ice to combat the Tritons and the Dragons. And the Tritons, invented the powerful spells of Storm, to rise up against the Dragons and the Giants. The constant fighting saddened Bartleby and Raven. Eventually, the fight went so far that the very world itself broke apart into pieces. As the pieces of the First World scattered, Lady Nightstar thought quickly and without haste, threw the Spiral out into the universe, trapping all of the pieces into place. Bartleby was left alone and his roots were left only to a small part of the once glorious land. From this day forth, the creatures that once inhabited the First World would each develop their own different cultures and history. This was the beginning of the separate histories of the Worlds of the Spiral. The First World was no longer one world, but many...

So much process... It hurts!

2010-01-11T16:28:00.000-08:00

We've all been very, very busy lately... Very diligently studying. Here's a lowdown on what everybody's accomplished for far...

Dustin has finished Krokotopia!

Wolf has arrived in MooShu, and has leveled up into the requirments for clothing there!

He's styling the best MooShu hat for myth ^_^

Oran has arrived at DragonSpyre and is making his way through the Plaza of Conquests!

And Chase is on an important mission, to document the history of the Spiral...

So that's what's been happening... We're progressing quite fine indeed. I actually need some help with BriskBreeze, so if anybody wants to volunteer, we'll talk it out X_x

Right, well as mentioned, I'm off to finish my mission. I'm sure my brothers have a lot of work to do as well...

Happy Missions!

A Collection of History

2010-01-10T22:38:00.000-08:00

I'm right now, in the process of writing up the entire history of all the Spiral worlds, start to finish. From the beginning of the Spiral with Raven and Bartleby. To the moment you arrive into Wizard City.

This will be, The History of the Spiral...

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T00:31:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year guys! Thanks for sticking with the blog! I love you all so much and I'm looking forward to an entire new year filled with fun and adventures!

Happy New Year!

Reschedule

2009-12-31T14:13:00.000-08:00

I have school through half of the tournament days so I can't really assign those days. =P

I'll reschedule it some time where everybody will be able to come. It just won't be New Year's Wand Off. Just some other wand off X_x

Happy Rescheduling!

The Reneverian Club!

2009-12-29T00:08:00.000-08:00

I am officially planning an event soon. It's going to be a 6 day tournament and all are welcome. As soon as I can get everything set up I'll let you know.

In further news, I've started the Reneverian Club. If you like this blog or the game Wizard 101, simply click on the button right here ------>
and join in to the fun!

Here's the details for the event ahead of time!

New Years Wand Off!

Join us January 1st-6th as the Friendly Necromancer (Maybe) and the Sorion Hex host the first annual Wand Off! The rules are simple.

The tournament will be held in the Vampire Realm: Area 1 all through the days.

Battles will be 1v1.
Players MUST have a non-card carrying wand/sword/staff to compete.
Players must use all their wand cards before being allowed to use normal spells.
NO Wild Bolts, use skill not luck.
If a player uses any type of spell at all before they have used all their wand cards, they are disqualified, this includes shields, traps, and blades.
Once a player has used up all of their wands they are free to commence the rest of the match, so you better use those wands quick!

This is a short event. Space is limited to the first 16 per branch to enter. This is so in the end we have 1 winner. 16 = 8 = 4 = 2 = 1

Day 1: Level 1 – Level 10 - 1:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. California Time

Day 2: Level 10 – Level 20 - 1:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. California Time

Day 3: Level 20 – Level 30 - 1:00 P.M. - 4:30 P.M. California Time

Day 4: Level 30 – Level 40 - 1:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M. California Time

Day 5: Level 40 – Level 50 - 1:00 P.M. - 5:30 P.M. California Time

Day 6: Grandmasters Only - 1:00 P.M. - 6:00 P.M. California Time

The days might end earlier or later depending on how the matches drag on.

The tournament will look like this.

For each of the 6 days 1 of these brackets will happen, ultimately leading up to a single winner.

Hope to see you there! Sign up for the 1-10 match via The Reneverian Club at the right.

Remember! There's only space for 16 duelists per branch.

Hope to see you there!

Happy Joining!

Site Maintenance

2009-12-27T02:16:00.000-08:00

I'm trying really hard to get those navigation buttons working so bear with me! ^_^

Navigational bars are up and running! They don't have much in them, but once everything's hooked up watch out!

Happy Navigating!

Season's Greetings!

2009-12-26T21:45:00.000-08:00

Ello mates! Sorion here with a season's greetings to everybody!

I just got back from a wicked vacation in Vegas. And I would tell you more, but it's against the rules. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" and all that.

Congratulations to the Awesome Pyromancer! She hit the 10k mark. When I went to her site it said 10,001 SO, I'm hoping I was the 10k visitor and not the 10,002 visitor or anything xD Looking at my own counter, I'd say we're almost to that 1k mark I wanted. Keep reading mates! I've got something planned for everybody. I tried making a video but gave up after 5 hours of loading... sigh

SO I'll stick to pictures xD

Again, Season's Greetings! And be on the lookout for a Wizard 101 I'll be planning near New Years.

Stay Frosty! Happy Greet-ening!

On Doom and Gloom...

2009-12-21T19:59:00.000-08:00

This card... Is it good? Is it bad? Is it neutral? I think it's all of the above...

Here's a how to guide on how to use this card... Please note, the following is merely how I feel Doom and Gloom is best used and does not mean this is how you should use it. Of course you're at your own will to use it as you wish...

Now I'll be setting down the beat down situations for you.

1vs1 Enemy: Don't use it. Simple.
2vs2 Enemy: Same...
3vs3 Enemy: And again...
4vs4 Enemy: You get the idea...

This card is basically useless against mob monsters... Do they heal? Like 2% of the time... What do they use? Sprite... Use logic...

1vs1 PvP: It depends I suppose... But this card is really useful if you know that you yourself are gonna be draining rather than healing... But just be sure that you NEED to use this card before you do... the last thing you need is to use this near the beginning... And then the opponent wipes out most of your health... If you can't drain enough to survive, well time for the "Death" in Death School to take over...

2vs2 PvP: Same as above except this time somebody else comes into play. Make sure that they don't mind the lack of healing... This is utterly important. I would advise against it because if they get hit low, and then you can't heal them back up, well now it's you alone vs 2 other players... Not the prettiest situation...

3vs3 PvP: Same things apply... I suggest even more strongly to not use Doom and Gloom in this situation... However, if it's your team vs 3 Life wizards... Well that might be a slight exception...

4vs4 PvP: Don't use it... It's just completely wild when it's 4vs4... ANYTHING can happen. I was once in a 4vs4 PvP match with Melissa and 2 others that lasted 4 hours... I used Doom and Gloom near the middle. We lost. So really, unless it's an all Life Wizard Team vs all Death... Discard this soon as possible... Maybe a nice Power Play instead...

Well that's the low down on Doom and Gloom... A PvP spell... useful if you're at it alone... I personally recommend this card infection... When KingsIsle released this card in a PvP amulet I cried... And I thought it would be for the Celestia release... Then a few weeks later I go and visit Mortis because I was bored... And Lo and Behold... Infection... Level 0... Trainable... I wasted 200 Arena tokens but eh... That's life... Infection is a BLESSING... It's like a specific Doom and Gloom... And it's 0 PIPS!If you're going to PvP and you're death... PUT - IT - IN - YOUR - DECK!

Well that's all the information for today! See ya next time X_x

Happy PvPing!

Danger! Danger!

2009-12-08T20:46:00.000-08:00

Alright everybody! Great news most of you should know!

As you all know, KingsIsle has made an offer where if we hit 50,000 Facebook fans anybody who's a part of Wizard Central will get the awesome Danger Hound pet!

Guess what.

We're over 50,000! And that's not all... NEW offer!

Now, for every Facebook fan who joins besides the 50,000 we will receive that amount in gold!
This is great and so unexpected!

Seriously! We HAVE to spread the word about this! Imagine it my way...

We get 100k MORE Facebook fans... That means we get 100k gold in game... Now, last I recall the new houses were what? 100k? Basically we can get a school related house with that gold! So go on my fellow Wizards!

SPREAD THE WORD!

Happy Spreading!

Tres Magnifique!

2009-12-07T21:05:00.000-08:00

Ah tis the season for giving! And what better to give than a site update? Check out the new banner =D It's specially set for Christmas. I have wonderful music playing... Now if only I could figure out how to do those spiral buttons Friendly has... The site feels naked without buttons >_>

Care to give me a hand Friendly?

Anyways it's cold here... It's actually snowing... I've never seen snow so it's surprising that's it's snowing here in California... But yeah...

Happy Snow Eating!

I'm Baaaaaack!

2009-12-06T21:58:00.000-08:00

Phew, I am officially back from my vacation in Nicaragua! It was hot, literally...

But yeah, I'm back and I'm still unpacking our stuff as I speak but it was pretty great. Anyways, it's December, school appropriate housing's coming out, and it's almost time for Felix Navidad to hit the spiral! Phew, I logged in earlier today after seeing Friendly's post about the Death house...

I have to admit it's not the nicest of the houses but I think I made it look pretty beautiful... I'll edit in a picture of what I did to it in 10 minutes. Here's a hint, in my previous home I had an incredible amount of candles...

Sadly I'm not going to buy the death house for myself... I'm proud of my Marleybone mansion and I wouldn't have it any other way... As for Wolf, Oran, Tarlac, Ivan, and Dustin I'm pretty sure they'll want houses!

And, it's December as I said, which means... Time for the Christmas Track!

So go on out there and help KingsIsle test their houses! Be sure to tell them you can't go into some of the pools! X_x

Merry Testing!

The Placement of the Worlds of the Spiral...

2009-11-24T18:38:00.000-08:00

What an interesting topic...

As many of you have noticed, the placement of the worlds, as in, the releasing of them into the game is based on real world continents...

To play it simply, there's a world for almost each continent...

Wizard City - USA
Krokotopia - Africa
Marleybone - Europe
MooShu - Asia
DragonSpyre - Before it got totaled it looked a bit like Central America with the waterfalls and everything...
Grizzleheim - At a loss... This is another moment in history xD Not sure how many places look like this X_x...
Celestia - Now, based on these calculations... We have South America, Antarctica, and Australia left... Now think closely, doesn't Celestia sound like an Antarctica based world?... I think that's the best guess I can give you xD Just in case!

You all heard my suggestions for worlds of course... Because I know you come back here every time I post >=) So 2 original worlds would be Techania, and Myrevania... One technologically based, one darkness based... Both awesome... As for Sir Reginald Bixby's home world... I'm thinking Primenos is a good name if you ask me...

Happy Conspiracy-ness-ing!

A Fresh Start!

2009-11-15T14:37:00.000-08:00

Um, hi there! My name's Wolf... I just moved in with Chase and the rest of my brothers... I kinda like history and things like that so I uh... Enrolled into the School of Myth... I think my familiar scared Headmaster Ambrose though... Oh dear... Sorry, I'm a little shy! I better go unpack!

It's alright mate, you'll get the hang of it eventually!

In the mean time, I got a request to find a Wizard 101 wallpaper, thank Bartleby that West Karana had just the thing I was looking for!

What better way to celebrate Wolf's arrival into Ravenwood than a very special welcome gift to all those beginning their adventures into the Spiral? And so now, courtesy of KingsIsle once more!...

Welcome to the Spiral young Wizards!

Happy Beginnings!

Onward To History!

2009-11-15T01:01:00.000-08:00

Ivan Willowdust is the name and I am quickly on my way to Krokotopia! I'm Chase's brother, youngest of them all! I was enrolled in the School of Life by Headmaster Ambrose because I have an optimistic and cheery personality and my familiar healed him from a paper cut! Poor Headmaster, so much paperwork from all those oncoming students... I do wish I could help further...

Oh dear, I have an idea! Chase, might you be so kind as to lend me Jinx?

Sure, he's not doing anything, might as well put him to some work, right?

Hey, what are you saying, I'm not some toy you can just lend to children, I am a powerful wizard with the power to destroy worlds!

You look like a bird to me?...

*snicker*

Grrr... Fine, I suppose I don't have much choice... What is it you want child?

I want you to go do Headmaster Ambrose's paperwork for him!

What!? There's like a million student applications in there! Please tell me you're joking!

Sorry, Jinx, I'm not joking! ^_^ Good luck with that though! Here's an apple to keep up the spirit!

...

Alright, well I have to go back to my studies! ^_^ And to those of you catching on quickly in the Spiral, here's a gift as you enter Krokotopia, courtesy of KingsIsle!

Bye Chase! Good luck Jinx!

Cheers, little bro! As for me, I have other matters to attend to. Good luck to those of you in the lower worlds!

Happy Rising!

EMERGENCY POST!

2009-11-13T20:05:00.000-08:00

Ok, so... Apparently Valentine's Day is in February... Those Time Travel Faires keep messing with me! So... Ignore any Valentine's day related things <_> You didn't see anything...

Jinx wipe their memories!

My pleasure!
*bonks you on the head with a club*

Happy Forgetting!

Happy Friday 13th!

2009-11-13T18:33:00.000-08:00

Ello and welcome to yet another Friday the 13th!

Now usually people associate this day with machete wielding maniacs, bad luck, and bill day! But I don't believe anything bad happens, it's all merely coincidence! ^_^ *trips over a spellbook*

Oof!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Just a slight incident, I left that book there, my fault... T-T

Anyways as I was saying, absolutely nothing bad will happen to anybody today!
Oh, see ya little black kitty!

*piece of ceiling falls on head*

Ouch! I told those Gobblers to stop dancing so dang hard!

Anyways, personally I love Friday 13th! It comes along at unexpected times and that's why it's special! Here, I have a book I wanted to show you! *walks under bookshelf ladder*

And it's called... *reaches out for it*

Why Friday 13 is Better Than Thursday 12!

*bookshelf tilts and lands on Sorion*

Gah! X_x

That's FINE! There's NOTHING wrong! Just a loose bolt I suppose!

ANYWAYS, forget the book then, I need to go wash my face from all this book dust...

*begins to rinse face...*
*dries off and looks into mirror*
*turns around with fear*

The Diary Page Ends There...

Happy Living...

Bummer...

2009-11-12T23:15:00.000-08:00

Alright so I gave up on those changes for now... I'll get to them when I actually figure out what I'm doing X_x

Anyways, I was just reading The Awesome Pyromancer's post and I noticed she has a cool little goal on the side... If we can get her to 10k hits she's gonna do something special! Why not help her out a bit eh?

Also, I've made it my own personal goal to reach at least 1k by January 1... If you guys can do that I'm sure I'll have a special surprise for you =)

Minor/Major Changes

2009-11-12T22:18:00.000-08:00

A message to all passengers...

Please fasten all your seatbelts, we are about to experience some major turbulence to the site as we change some features... Thank you for your time!

Valentine's Quickly Approaching!

2009-11-12T15:55:00.000-08:00

Well Veteran's Day has passed and as we remember those who have given their lives for a country, let us take a moment of silence to honor them...

...

Now then, Valentines day is 2 days away and it's almost time for that warm hearted SnuggleFest =D Expect some Valentines Day themed stuff to be in town this month!

Also, this might ALSO be a great way to make crowns... If you're not in middle school then maybe you should pass out your Valentine's Day cards and stick your friend code and site on them...

Spread the Wizardly love, eh?

Middle School and up this doesn't work too well, people start judging you at that age >_>

Give it a try if you're bold enough though, nobody's stopping you ^_^

Well that's it for now, I believe change of music is in order!

Pffft, what a stupid holiday...

Happy Snuggling!

Moving Up!

2009-11-03T19:27:00.000-08:00

So Oran Dawnwielder doesn't want to go up the ranks in MooShu so he's taken a little break thanks to KingsIsle! I went on yesterday and a little bit today to move up the ranks in Grizzleheim! I just finished The Pass and I'm heading into the Roughlands now where a village is in peril and needs a hero who has the power to defeat many great things!

Ah, I almost forgot, I'm in the process of making a wallpaper for everybody out there! Each and every school and they're assigned familiar...

Death = Wraith,

Life = Unicorn,

Myth = Cyclops,

Storm = StormZilla,

Fire = Helephant,

Ice = Colossus,

Balance = Justice (What I call the lady who executes a Judgement)

I'm also going to make one of all the dominating Familiars as in:

Death = Wraith

Life = Centaur

Myth = Orthrus

Ice = Colossus

Fire = Helephant

Storm = Stormzilla

I'll fill ya in when I get them done for ya!

Till then...
Happy Artistic Painting!

The Halloween Fright: In the Aftermath of Chaos...

2009-11-01T22:32:00.000-08:00

Well Halloween is officially over and my stomach hurts... Too much candy I suppose... I took my little brother and sister Trick or Treating and took a portion of their candy as my own... I only took all the peppermints though, since I love peppermints... My breath's pretty minty right now... Speaking of candy... The Halloween Track is up for the site... I think you'll find it hauntingly epic... =)

Anyways where I live there's no such thing as a house pretty much... Not nearby anyways, so I went about 46 blocks including the return trip on the other side of the street, Trick or Treating at any stores that were giving out candy...

Meanwhile, at the homestead, father was handing out Treats to all the children passing by... Being smart however, I attached my Friend Number to them for Wizard101... I'm sure a lot of other people out there took Friendly's approach too ^_^

I went dressed as a Carribean Pirate, my brother went as Bumblebee, the transformer, and my sister went as a pwetty pwincess...

After we hit 23 blocks I realized it we went any further we'd probably keelhaul from the foot pain so we went to the other side of the street and started heading back home...

Along the way, we got a bit more candy and went a few blocks past our house to reach Walgreens...

You should always reconsider your options...

When we reached Walgreens, we went inside the Trick or Treat, but the guy inside was wearing a scary evil undead Jester Costume... Needless to say, my sister ran for the door... I did get the candy for them though...

Then we headed back home to count our candy and... Shall we say, split the portions?

Ah the sweet fun of Halloween... I love Mogloween/Halloween/Hallow's Eve/Hallowe'en so much... ^_^

The Annual Battlefield...

The ghosts and ghouls are out tonight,
But the Trick or Treaters are here to fight...

Go Trick or Treat, and send them back,
Fill up with candy, such a yummy snack...

Candy Corn takes care of Frankenstein,
And with Peppermints, Jekyll won't be fine...

Swamp Monster got ya down?
Show him some chocolate, while dressed as a clown...

It's a battlefield out there, ya'll...
But with a sack full of candy, we'll have a ball!

Just a little poem I whipped up on the spot ^_x

Happy Dentist Visiting!

A Head Start for the Future!

2009-10-24T21:05:00.000-07:00

Ello mates! As you may or may not know, my future career choice is Gaming Graphics and Engineering, as in making video games! I've just downloaded this cool program called 3D Max's which I'm practicing with right now. I think this is a cool opportunity to move away from Photoshop and make some 3D pictures for you guys! Mind you I'll still make some Photoshop pictures for you, seeing as I barely know how to use this new program...

So far I'm learning all the controls but by the time the trial download expires I should at least have 1 piece of Wizard 101 art to show ya! Look forward to a big surprise... Yesh, that means you Friendly Necromancer! I shall learn to use this program!

Oh, shut up already...

Excuse me while I get my wand and dispose of a... Problem...

Wait, gah! What are you doing?! Get away from me you fool! Ahhhh...

Meet Jinx...

2009-10-24T01:10:00.000-07:00

Greetings and Salutations, fellow wizards! I believe it's time you met Jinx...

Jinx is my very own, one of a kind, minion! When I was but a wee little wizard boy learning how to summon dark sprites I came across a very evil and malicious warlock who has disguised himself as a raven in order to further his schemes... I had nowhere to run, I could barely summon a dark sprite, and I was young... I turned away and waved my wand at him viciously and desperately and in the flash of an instant I had made a Wraith appear before me... He attacked Jinx and defeated him, trapping him in his raven form and forcing him to work for me... I questioned him and asked him who he was.... He said, "Dear Child, I am Gizmo..." I wanted to know so much more about my savior but he turned around and opened a gateway... Before he left he said, "Do not fret dear Chase, for our paths will meet again. When you can defeat the mightiest of enemies and the most cunning of villains, I will be there by your side..." And with those words of inspiration he disappeared as quickly as he appeared...

Now as for Jinx, he was knocked out on the ground with his magic severely limited and really no way to fight me or take over the world for the time being... Rest assured, I am more than capable of defeating him with Gizmo by my side should he ever find a way to revert to his original form...

Jinx will now be taking a part in this blog family! From now on Jinx will be answering the many questions I keep getting. Jinx is very wise, evil mind you, but wise... If he can't answer the question you ask him, I highly doubt anybody else can... Except for KingsIsle of course but that's another story... Anyways, without further ado, here's Jinx!

Ask Jinx!

Hello Mortals... It is I, grandmaster of the Clemexia realm, instiller of fear, sovereign of all evil, Jinx... As the blundering fool who has his hold over me for the time being has said I am a dark and powerful Warlock beneath this most preposterous disguise... Unfortunately, when I was reverting back into my human form, Chase's soul partner came out and helped him in his time of need... The attack shattered my concentration and the link between my human form and this pitiful bird was lost... I swear, that I shall achieve revenge one day... I shall!

Get to the questions, Jinx!

Hmph, very well... This child has forced me to assist him in his duties by responding to all your pitiful e-mails... The sooner we get this over, the sooner I may commence dusting the books...

Katie from New York Asks...

"The problem is my quest helper turned off all of a sudden and I have like no idea how to turn it on. Can you help me plz?"

Silly mortal! I laugh at thy pitiful question for it is no problem for a great and powerful warlock, such as I, to answer!

Jinx!

Right... Anyways, the answer to your question is quite simple. Open your spellbook however it is you do or simply press (Esc) and go to your options menu. At the top should be a lot of buttons with pictures on them. Click on the one with a joystick picture with should say "Game Options" Once there you should see that your Quest Helper is most likely in the off position. Simply switch it back to the on position and close your book. Now wasn't that easy?

Marvin from California Asks...

"I don't get something, are we supposed to finish Grizzleheim first or go on with the real storyline? I'm trying to decide what to do."

Well Marvin, the answer to your question is that it depends entirely on you. Grizzleheim is a parallel world to the game, meaning that as you level up in the main storyline more quests are unlocked in Grizzleheim. I suppose the true answer to your question would be to do both... When you reach the milestone for a new part of Grizzleheim I wouldn't hesitate to do it as you may obtain some very useful clothing that could help you even further in the storyline. If I were you however I would travel to Clemexia where my loyal guards have something special in store...

And finally...

David from California Asks...

"Ugh! I keep trying but I can't get Mallistaire robes! What the heck am I doing wrong?!"

That's not a very good question mortal... That's more of a rage or flame... However since it does have a question mark in it I'll answer it... You should keep trying, Mallistaire robes are a tricky thing, like the rest of the game getting the thing you want as a drop is very chancy at most. Some people get their Mallistaire robes the first time around, where as other people get it on their 50th time... It all depends... There is however a new feature... You can now pay a few coins for a second chance at any boss chest's rewards... However as that other blumbering oaf The Friendly Necromancer said, this gets really expensive... If you're not getting it by the time you hit 500 crowns then you need to just redo the instance and try the old fashioned way...

Now I've wasted enough time here... I have to go dust the books now... Sigh, I hate my life...

Alright then?...

Thanks to all the people who sent in questions, if your question didn't get answered here don't fret, I'll make Jinx answer them next time around... Thank you for joining us on our first ever "Ask Jinx!" edition! Be sure to send in your e-mails to Spidercliff@live.com and I'll pick them up and forward them to Jinx!

Catch ya in the Spiral, and Happy Writing!

Two Days of Epicness!

2009-10-17T20:32:00.000-07:00

Ah the sweet feeling of the wind blowing in your hair as your ride through the Spiral on a brand new horse!

The release has been live and I've been enjoying every single bit of it!

My first order of business was to get my mount... I originally had planned to get the Black Stallion mount as you can all tell. But Chase Silverbane is the most generous of my Wizards and he offered to buy the Chestnut Horse rather than the Stallion. This works out great in 2 ways!

The first way is that the Chestnut Pony is only 50,000 gold which I happened to have!

And the second way...

Is that the second oldest brother, Oran DawnWielder is a Balance Wizard decked out all in Brown! Now you tell me that Brown Horse with Brown Clothing doesn't match!

Following my mount purchase I decided to try it out by heading for MooShu and Marleybone to activate the teleport stones there!

After that was finished I was little disappointed to realize that to stitch my clothing was crown only and the same with henchmen... I really wouldn't mind if they multiplied the crown cost into gold because henchmen are really useful when soloing and stitching my clothes would have solved my problem with the Death and Balance Malliastaire robes... But life's life and since I have no crowns at all I'll have to settle for the good ol' fashioned way I'm used to! Taking the easy way reaps no rewards you know...

I remember once in DragonSpyre where there was a tower I had to complete to get my Drake Egg... And I have pretty much soloed the entire game up to then... So I went in confident as ever and began fighting my way through hordes of monsters... There was a point where I had 1 health point left and I narrowly won.

After about 20 floors I thought I made it to the boss and started to cry from all my hard work... And then when the minions started loading I saw they were a group of 3 in total... I went in because I was hoping that only 2 of them would go in but I was wrong... And that was my first ever 3 on 1 match! So as always good logic deems that you should get rid of the minions first since the more damage you're taking the worse... So I poisoned the minions until they died and then I was left with this boss of over a thousand health, probably over 2 thousand... And me having probably half my health left... But what can all Death wizards do that other schools envy?

DRAIN!

So I began to lay my traps and charms and weave my little web of pain until at last I was ready to attack... I had about 250 health left I attacked first and the boss had 5 pips. If I didn't make the shot I most likely lost unless she fizzled which was highly doubtful... So I crossed my fingers and attacked and wouldn't you know it, the attack didn't fizzle! And I smiled at the sight of my Wraith swallowing up her soul in one single gulp of 10,000 health, thereby fully healing me. I'm not sure if there were more monsters after that but one thing I know for a fact, is that I made it out of there alive and went on with the rest of my adventures...

So what has this painfully long story taught you? A hint I would probably be the poem by Robert Frost:

"Two roads diverged in the woods, and I
I took the one less traveled by.
And that has made all the difference..."

Basically that experience taught me everything I know about dueling today... When and how to place traps and blades... How much damage all my cards do and what how the percentages work... Everything and I mean everything... If I had had help in that tower I probably would have just relied on them to heal me back up when I got low and then what would I have learned? When in danger, wait for help?

Anyways, that my story and I''m sticking to it! Stay tuned as this following week we explore more of the new features and how they've changed from the test versions! Happy Exploring!

P.S. The Houses are coming...

Going to Bed Anxious!

2009-10-15T22:33:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow's the big release! Talk to ya in all the chaos!

The Underdog Moves Up!

2009-10-14T15:34:00.000-07:00

I was looking through my Facebook and then I saw a message from Wizard 101 saying that they just made it to 3rd place in the Top 10 MMOs!

Congrats KingsIsle you really deserve this, and when I hopefully apply for a job there in a few years, yep that's my career choice, you'll probably the #1 game out there...

You have to remember that KingsIsle isn't like Blizzard, it didn't start out with a ton of cash and support but rather started well off and small like an ordinary business!

I've seen a lot of they're behind the scenes videos and the offices look really moderate, nothing luxurious at all...
At the start probably not many people believed in them but now look at them! One of the TOP TEN...

Here's the official Facebook post!

Wizard101 MMORPG.com lists Wizard101 as #3 in their Top Ten List of MMOs since WoW and the number one kid's game! Check out the article!

The List - Top 10 MMOs Since WoW - MMORPG.com

Congratulations once more Wizard 101! I'm going to check and see if Wizard 101 has a new fountain The Commons! Happy Ranking!

In further news, scientists and psychologists have just announced that World of Warcraft causes people to lose their grip on reality and virtually speaking go crazy! Parents are advised to keep children away from WoW...

Yay!...

2009-10-11T00:35:00.001-07:00

As you may notice on the bottom of the page... The VERY bottom of the page... We have just hit 100+ hits... Thank you all very much for making me happy... Gizmo very recently accidentally swallowed part of my soul so getting it back was a nice gift... Thanks again guys! And stay tuned...

Happy Happynization!

Reason Why People Look At Me Weird...

2009-10-10T23:14:00.000-07:00

Whenever I hit a 5,000 shot at my enemies in Wizard 101, I'll always be tempted to say it was a weak shot... Which quite literally it is... To me anyways...

For me a normal shot is one where I try my best and have everything planned out before hand, like a good Death wizard always should...

For example, here's an ordinary hit for me:

Notice the 5 digit number... When you start hitting 5 digit number it kind of means you care about the quality of your work done well... And also, monsters such as Yeva here, feel honored to be defeated at the hands of 5 digit numbers...

So remember Wizards of the Spiral! And start hitting those 5 digit hits!

Happy Overkill!

Overhaul Challenge: Complete!

2009-10-10T17:34:00.000-07:00

Ah, the sweet smell of victory... My site's officially been nicely overhauled... Took a bit of work, but what do you know? It looks pretty nice... The header problem was fixed thanks to a nice blog I found letting me know how to get rid of that horrible border problem...

The header itself has been changed...

Music's playing beautifully in the background...

And...

The counter's slowly about to reach 100! Like I said, hitting triple digits makes me feel a bit happier so... Make me feel happy people!

There's still a few tweaks and fixes I can make to give it that homey feel, but for now The Reneverian Hex lives again!

In an undead form that is...?

Ah yes, by the way I read Friendly's post about crowns and here's my friend code too, just in case ya know?

32338-15125-52224-40297

Happy Resurrections!

Overhauling Is Thwarting My Attempts at Another Success!

2009-10-10T13:51:00.001-07:00

This overhaul isn't going so well now, I can't get my big computer to use Photoshop, I think I can use it later today though so that's good news...

Anyways...

The night before Melissa was helping me farm for my best Death items... But as soon as she arrived at Kraysys for the battle, father asked me to turn off the computer and go to sleep... Melissa said I should go and then entered the battle, but I thought every battle should count, so I entered the battle too and came up with a plan to finish the battle in less than 3 minutes...

Melissa on her Balance Wizard, Scarlet, was to use Full Judgement on Kraysys, where I would quickly dispose of the minion with a feint, blade, and Gizmo, my Wraith.

After we killed him I expected to find some cheap shoes on the side, but rather I noticed they were death... Thought they were just random death shoes, but then I noticed that they were untradable and so I laxly said to Melissa...

"Got them..."

Now the hunt begins for the rest of my items, I already have my Ring, just got the shoes, and I have the best pet... I need my hat from Yeva, my Robe from Mallistaire, my sword from Ivan, and my athame from Gurtok... Quite a bit to do, and I just realized I never finished killing spider to get to Yeva... Busy, busy, busy....

Happy Collecting!

Overhaul Part II

2009-10-08T16:08:00.000-07:00

Well it's 4:09 here and that means it's time to continue with the overhaul of the site...

I've put a tracker on the bottom of the page so it eventually starts filling up, I'll just pretend it isn't there until it hits the triple digits!

I now have music running in the background!

And the next thing I need to work on is... This header... I'm thinking Black and Silver as always... But some oomph too... Nobody seems to get that my header is somebody staring at me through a crystal ball...

So, since my Photoshop skills HAVE improved, I'm going to develop an even better header and it's gonna be pretty big, I'm thinking maybe neon to match the counter... Then again I love blue, so I might make it blue... We'll see, we'll see...

Happy Renovating...

Success!

2009-10-07T22:00:00.000-07:00

I'm really tired and wiped out right now... I think I used most of what little energy I have everyday figuring this out...

NOW, you may have noticed music playing by now... That music you are listening too, took me a while to implement xD Here's a tip for you guys who use Playlist.com for music, DO NOT USE THE BUTTON THAT SAYS ADD YOUR OWN, when you are adding gadgets...

Simply put in one of the gadgets that has this on in < > It's in the basics tab... And put in the code they give you... I have been trying for about an hour or so now and I finally figured it out just after trial and error I hope you all enjoy the music =P It's one of my favorite background tunes >_>

I have officially OVERHAULED this blog xD The next thing to go is that banner >_> It looks weird the way that border is... Make it look kinda cheap actually =P

Anyways...

MagiTunes, welcome to my Spiral...

Friendly's Present X_x

2009-10-05T19:50:00.000-07:00

Now you're probably wondering why a present for Friendly... Truth is idk... I don't really have much to say anymore xD But yeah, maybe it's because we're both Death Grandmasters >_> I'm also in a nice gift giving mood lately since I got my HP Mini... To all of those other bloggers on Friendly's blog, keep on the lookout as I might randomly make something for ya... Long Unlive, the Death School! Oh, here's Friendly's present xD I'll send it to him =P Yes I know, the mount was inspiration but, that Black Horse just rocks!

*Friendly's present!

A Gift for Friendly...

2009-10-04T21:55:00.000-07:00

I'm making Friendly a little gift... I'll let you guys see it after I send it to him tomorrow ^_^ Took me a few hours but I'll probably use it as my Desktop or something xD Cheerio!

Riding A Heart Attack...

2009-10-03T13:22:00.000-07:00

Ok so... I went over to Friendly's blog last night and nearly had a heart attack... The main reason is I saw 3 words that caught my attention... Mount, Test, and Open. X_x Anyways, as soon as I saw those 3 words I ran over to Aim to tell Melissa to get on the Test Realm but to be honest I went on without her. >_>

As soon as I logged in, after about 3 hours of loading all the worlds and data, I went straight for the shopping button! Sadly I couldn't get any more crowns or gold from Benjamin, maybe he'll come by later, but I bought my Permanent Black Stallion and got a Guardian Outfit. I didn't really care about my Guardian Outfit's stats, yet, and just summoned my newly bought horse and rode around like crazy for a while. If I remember right, my hand was shaking and I was a little bit dazzled at the horse when it neighed X_X... I love my horse... And it seems that it does in fact make you go 40% faster so that's a bonus ^_^

Anyways, I started thinking and the prices in gold are a little bit... Crazy? I sent them a comment that they should make the prices a little more reasonable, I think it's rare to find people with over 70k of GOLD on them, but I was thinking I might just take the Crowns approach... Anyways, after a fun while of jumping and riding I decided to start investigating some of the other features.

One of the cool features is being able to summon henchmen to your side in battle. It's a little bit like summoning a minion but they come in schools and levels, and are clearly smarter. I personally love the level 50 Balance henchman, mainly because if you have a balance person on your team the battle is almost in the bag. I'll show you a picture of how to summon a henchman in a few.

Melissa eventually did log in...

She however was using a different approach at mounts... Apparently the Bengal Tiger mount is exotic and rare while the Black Stallion is classic... - rolls eyes - Anyways, she got the Royal Outfit for girls, I'd never seen it before but wow... Why can't our Royal Outfit be that good? xD Anyways we started talking and then I was showing her some of the features, she was still loading everything though and she was very good at reminding me about it... =P After she loaded enough our mounts had a little play date and we started running around really with no reason but to run X_X I dragged her into the Tower of Archives in DragonSpyre and made her come into a battle with me. She didn't want to, because she likes being difficult but then again I do too xD But I eventually managed to drag her in.

After I showed her the Henchman for Balance, (her character is a level 50 Grandmaster Balance Wizard named Scarlet...), she said she would rather ride her mount and left me there with a henchman that doesn't really have logic... SO, I left ^_^

Earlier I had tried to do the Colossus Gauntlet of Woe but, as I was about to finish the first floor with 3 other strangers I crashed, I don't think they left though because they probably hired a Henchman to take my place xD I feel replaced <_>

Before I went to sleep I bought a 1 day rental of a Broom because I kinda liked how the brooms look... If brooms in this world could do what those could do I would be so happy... So yeah then I crashed from mental strain on excitement and shut off Wizard 101... And theeeeeeeen...

Daddy came in a brought me a Laptop out of nowhere... And so I nearly had another heart attack to the point a tear came out...

Audience: Awwwwwww...

But yeah that was my day of excitement... I'll probably be going for day #2 of excitement later today...

See you in the Spiral mates! Happy Mounting!

The Rebirth! No Not the Card...

2009-10-02T16:59:00.000-07:00

Greetings and Salutations, my fellow paladins and necromancers, cryomancers and pyromancers, and all alike! There's a reason we love games like Wizard 101... Just when they're dying and it seems tedious to play, they rise up out of the ashes reborn with new content, [Fire Wizard reference ;)], and this is no different. Not only have we been graced with a beautiful birthday party but it's October! The month of spooks and creepy sounds... The month when the breeze from the windows follows you into your shirt and sends a cold slithering chill down you spine that makes you long for safety and a welcoming hug... But there's no hugs in horror movies, are there?...

ANYWAYS, as I mentioned is October, time for Hallow's Eve, better known to America and probably most of the world >_> as Halloween, OR better known to Wizards as Hallow e'en which I still don't understand but I've seen it many times before, donc I won't dispute it! So what's up in Wizard 101? Well the creepy Scarecrow brothers are in town as well as Spooky Bob. Spooky Bob is the mate in the Shopping District who is selling all sorts of wonder goodies for young wizards, including a most spectacular costume that makes you looks like The Cryptkeeper X_x... He's also got a wide arrangement of Jack O'Lantern masks from happy, to sad, to angry, to pirate! A few staves here and there and you've got it... But you should go check that out yourself, it's VERY laggy there so I do warn you... After all, what can be scarier than the most horrible, spine tingling, and bone crushing thing of all? LAG! Ehem... Back on topic...

The Spooky Brothers, I call them that, are a bunch of Scarecrows that have recently arrived in Wizard City. They're in town teaching Wizards of all kinds to celebrate the spirit of Hallow's Eve! If you want a good job to fit in with your costume... All of those high leveled Wizard out there can put on your Ghostbuster badge and start hunting down ghosts from the quests Jack Hallow in the commons gives you. Hungry for something good to eat? Well how about finding the Tubs of Apples and bobbing for some fruit, or trick or treating all around Wizard City with Jack O'Lanterns a plenty. Tis all here in Hallow's Eve!

Now for my main point... Most games, have a VERY difficult time with this subject, most choose to avoid it... But not Wizard 101, oh no, not where the magic lies! Wizard 101 has decided to directly approach the subject of MOUNTS! That's right, you're not deaf/blind/delirious! Wizard 101 has taken on the challenge of creating objects that Wizards can ride around their journeys into the spiral. From what I hear mounts might actually make us faster. Here's the official quote:

Announcing Mounts


	The next major new content being developed for Wizard101 is a series of Wizard Mounts that provide a fun, fast, and stylish way of getting around. Many different types of Wizard Mounts will be available with more to come in the future. Initially, four will be introduced: Brooms, Horses, Cats, and Dragons!

Wow? I mean what does one say to this but wow? I don't think I've every participated in a game that has mounts. From YouTube videos I can tell that WoW has mounts but, I've never played the full game! Anyways, this is great news, I'm sure we'll have a ton of glitches but that's the same for every game... I can't wait for this release! BUT I don't MIND waiting... A release done good once is better than one done bad twice, n'est pas?

Well that's about all I have to say on the subject of Hallow's Eve (for now...) But I've gotta go back to working on Grizzleheim I'll write a few things more in a few more posts, mainly about me finishing Grizzleheim, since I'm about halfway through Ravenscar now and about my theory on whether Grizzleheim clothing beats Mallistaire clothing, mainly in looks and accessibility, by that I mean how hard or easy the robes are to get. And by looks I mean, I don't like the Death Robe for Mallistaire, I like the look of the Reaper's Raiment for I stick to that for now... Nothing more to say, only my soul can talk to your souls, maybe you know it's talking to your now maybe you don't... Happy Hauntings mates... Meheheheheh...

No Post in a Month?!

2009-09-04T20:06:00.000-07:00

1 word... School is painful! Anyways, the reason I haven't posted in a while is because I was off in Summer School! No, I'm not a bad kid but simply I went there to take a head start on next year's classes. Anyways, that means I haven't been on Wizard 101 for a while X_x Although it seems it hasn't changed much! X_x Now I've been having some ideas! How about Techania and Moryta hmm? Random names, I think not! I think these puppies would make great worlds! After Celestia we could head of into the digital/magic world of Techania and then wonder off into the dark undead realm of Moryta! Now I'm not sure but perhaps Celestia would be the world that = Sir Reginald the Zebra you see all over the Spiral. Lemme know what you think mainly because, I'm on crossed fingers that this happens! See you in the Spiral! Cheers!

A Gift from a Friend...

Bonjour! Now I'm sure a lot of you are very confused in Grizzleheim, I sure am... I keep getting lost and turning the wrong way... I love it! Gives me a little challenge at such a high level... Anyways, Then I realized that you guys must get lost pretty easy too... Now just stop right now if you don't like spoilers... But I have read about the location for the first Yard Bird, when you get to Bjorn Ironclaws, stand where he is, turn to the left and circle around the King's house then follow the wooden path to the bird... Now here's the one I found by myself... If you're looking for the Bird in the Vigrid Roughland, it would take too long to tell you how to get there... Honestly I can't even remember how, so here's a little photographic tip... I CAN remember however that you MUST look out for a bear named Hans, go to him and follow the grassy path behind him... Here's a few pictures...
Well I hope this helped quite a few of you, I'll keep an eye out for more birds and keep you up to date... Cheers!

In the Aftermath of Chaos...

2009-07-03T18:12:00.000-07:00

The stinkin' Time Travel Fairies keep messing with me... Anyways, congratulations on the newest Wizard to step into the spiral, Sawyer! Now many of you were probably on Terra when this happened, (that's what Earth is called in the Spiral), so I'll give you a quick lowdown of the most amazing thing that happened on July 1... There I was minding my own business in Olde Town, a little bit of chit chat with the guards, when all of a sudden the ground starts shaking and the sky gets very dark... Almost like Triton Ave. actually... And the wing just increased tremendously, as a matter of fact on the Privates just flew straight away from the spot. And in a giant flash of pure blue light (notice the reference to Friendly's bow) 3 portals appeared... And that's when I caught sight of what was going on... From the first portal, came out 2 people all of a sudden, one strangely with what appeared to be... A chisel? Behind me I heard a sound and stepped back just to see a building out from the portal an old man getting shot into the building... And then in the midst of it all, the biggest thing of them all came out through the last portal... All of a sudden I caught what I saw to be a bow coming out of the portal... A bow? And soon enough that's just what it was...An enormous ship unlike any of from the other worlds I had ever seen was approaching and in the sight I saw a very confused person... It seemed large so I assumed it was from MooShu but then the portal's blidning light disappeared and I being from Terra, recognized it instantly... It was a bear, clad in golden armor confused to what just happened... Apparently, he did not create the portal... I teleported to Ravenwood and went to speak with Bartleby... He explained the bear was from Grizzleheim, a world of which the portal was lost too to the ages.. But apparently what could be the most powerful force in the universe sent Grizzleheim moving toward the spiral, in which it got caught like a net, reconnecting it to the Spiral and the other worlds... Yay! Anyways, I Bartleby asked for me to go inform Headmaster Ambrose of this... I headed over to his office and told him that Grizzleheim had gone back into the Spiral... He told me this was great news and sent me on a diplomatic mission for Grizzleheim... And as I was given a dusty Spiral Key, I dusted it off and saw it was very colorful... Almost like a rainbow actually... And I headed toward The Spiral Chamber and poped that sucker in there, heading to Grizzleheim... And as I opened the door and walked out, I looked down... And I nearly fainted, as I was literally standing... On a rainbow... I ran down it like a freak and found the leader in charge... He wouldn't let me speak to the King but he told me how... And so began my adventures in the world of Grizzleheim... In this dimension anyways, my adventures had already begun and ended in the testing dimension... And so I walked around Grizzleheim, admiring all the fun and adventures that awaited me for the first time... Again...

The Spiral Senses A New Hero...

2009-07-02T18:11:00.001-07:00

Ello mates! The forces of the sprial have been out of shape quite recently... Why, just last night I woke up from my mansion to hear a strange sound outside my window. Naturally, I being a powerful wizard grabbed my spellbook and wand and went straight for the source of the sound. What I found was one of the most alarming things I could ever see... There it was outside my window, a blue chickencow... What's a chickencow? It's a little ongoing joke in DragonFable.com but I can say that to them it says Cluck Cluck Moo, to me they always seem to say Cock-a-doodle-mooooooo. Anyways, I asked it what it was doing, so long and far away from it appropiate dimension of warriors and wars, and he replied "I have been sent from Zeuster to witness the coming of a new hero of the spiral... He will arrive very soon... I must be off..." And with that he disappeared in a flash of feathers... And I thought to myself what he could mean by new hero... Could there be an adventurer just starting his quest? Perhaps he meant a villain turned good... I pondered for a long time until I decided to consult my Scrying Orb... And in the orb I saw Friendly... And he was with a newborn child... I immediately understood... The Friendly Necromancer had been turned into a baby! And then that's when my butler slapped me. And then I REALLY understood... Needless to say very strange things started happening the following day... I arrived at the land of lost history, Krokotopia, and was very surprised to see it was in chaos... There were honestly MooShian items raining from the sky, and Grizzleheimic rune stones popping from the ground... And then all of a sudden it stopped and everything returned to it original state and time... And then I said to myself... "The baby must be kicking..." It was no wonder that this child truly had great potential, the only question was, it that's what happens when he kicks... What happens when he burps?... I sudder to think... Anyways, I must say congratulations on your newest addition to the spiral Friendly! I'm sure he'll be glad to be introduced to the world by such experts... And imagine, by the time he's 6-10 we might already have Celestia and a new unannounced world! Well, that's all for today, the spiral is churning again... Mysterious out!

Savvy Mate?

2009-06-28T03:37:00.000-07:00

So for the past few days I've been trying to get knowledgable with iTunes. That thing is a pain... You get one small, lousy little error and the whole thing doesn't work. Honestly, I, just spent 2 days working on iTunes. What have I done in that time? Created a FREE iTunes account and made it so I could install my iTouch to my computer and iTunes sees it. You're probably thinking psh, easy. Wrong, big time. Over all I probably installed/uninstalled iTunes and my iTouch 10 about times. Ugh! Anyways getting to my point I thought for a while it was over but something was missing... Music! But what kind of music? Why Wizard music of course. What I could really use is some Wizard 101 music on my iTouch... So just a quick suggestion to KI, don't let that wonderful music go to waste... Well it's 3:50 A.M. here... I'm about to keelhaul... Good tidings!

P.S. - Zzz...

Aww man...

2009-06-26T23:35:00.000-07:00

Ever had one of those days where just the absolute worst case scenario just happens. If you have, then you know how I feel. The exact thing happened to me earlier this month. At the moment I am... Grounded... Now before you jump to conclusions, I have a good reason. I was in the garage cleaning. The garage door is electronic and all that sort of fancy stuff. Now as I was cleaning I put a jack to the side to get it out of the way. However, here's the bad part... I put the jack right under the garage door to the side. Well soon enough, I forgot I had put the jack there and pressed the button for the door to go down. And wouldn't you know it, I'm walking away and I hear *crack*. And then I turn around and just stand there in awe... And then I just said "Seriously?". So I examined the damage and tried to put it back together. I used Elmer's Wood Glue (TM) and stuck the bottom part of the door to the top and held it in place. Honestly, it took me about 30 mins to put it together, and another 30 mins holding it in place. Well after an hour I tested it and it seemed to work fine. Yay I fixed it right? Wrong. The next morning dad came in to take the car out and go to work. So he opens the garage door, it works fine, and he slowly starts to move the car out. And then, the saddest thing ever happens. The bottom part of the door snaps off and falls on the windshield thrashing it. Now, if you've ever seen a tomato, that's totally fresh and red, practically brand new. Color it neon and you can see my father's face. And so, the lesson of the day? Watch what you leave under your garage door.

Now while I'm on here writing, I might as well get right into the work. Friendly's probably already gotten to this, (in fact I'm 110% sure he's gotten to this already), but as you probably know, Grizzleheim has been released on test. NOW, a few warnings. This is test, it's extremly glitchy at the moment. I honestly got lost for about 30 minutes trying to find out how to get to Grizzleheim but here's a quick low down. Head to Olde Town, and talk to the bear. He'll give you a quest, do it. Now, when you are about to finish it, MAKE SURE that Grizzleheim is completly loaded or you will get stuck without him teleporting you to Grizzleheim. Now here's how all you higher levels can gain complete access to Grizzleheim. Head over to Ambrose after you at least finish the trading part of the quest for the bear in Olde Town. He'll tell you the we need more allies, so you'll have to head over to Grizzleheim and talk to the king. Bam, easy as that. Now as for the actual place itself... Let's just say that somewhere over the rainbow, ravens fly... Now you'll get to Grizzleheim but guess what, you can't see the king yet! Surprise, surprise right? Well how can you get to the king? Prove yourself and become a member of the wolf you talk to's family. And so begins your journey in Grizzleheim. A cool thing about Grizzleheim are the streets. Not to be a big spoiler but there are teleporter runes which can teleport you to parts of the street which you've already visited, provided you activated the stone there. Awesome right? And also, the streets don't really have a structure to them. It's basically like a forest, with little clusters of monsters to the side. Go in if you want, 300 hp per monster. Simple if you ask me right? Well that's it for today! Cheers!

P.S. - This took forever to write via iTouch btw, just for the appreciation.

Breaking news!

2009-06-10T19:12:00.000-07:00

Does it bother you when you're just trying to say something to your friend and all of a sudden you see it go red and you say "Are you kidding me? I can't say statue?!" Well if you're 18+ your worries are over. Looks like all those big players out there finally got their wish. Apparently, KingsIsle is working to release player 18+ chat very soon. It's still unclear whether level 13-17 players can see words like "bed" or "statue", but my guess would be not. That sort of defies to the point of 18+ chat. Anyways, here's the announcement from Greyrose herself.

We are releasing new community enhancements very soon!

One of the enhancements is 18+ Chat*. 18+ Chat will allow players a more open communication environment with other 18+ players. Starting tonight, we are adding web-based account controls for 18+ chat. Please be aware that although the control will be added to your account, 18+ Chat will NOT be launched tonight.

This chat feature is in response to our community’s requests. To ensure the highest level of safety, we have chosen to launch this for our active Subscriber community only. Please note that this option is off by default, and you must actively select this option under Account Management.

Our terms for in-game communication with other players will remain the same. Violent and abusive behavior, as well as the exchange of personal information is still not acceptable.

Once we launch this feature, the following updates to chat will apply:

Menu Chat (default setting for under13)
• players will continue to see only Menu Chat.

13 to 18+ Text Chat (default setting for 13+)
• players will continue to see only our Dictionary Text Chat.
• players will NOT see the 18+ chat.

New 18+ Chat
• will be filtered for profanity.

*Accounts must be 18+ and must be an active subscriber with a valid credit card on file.
Exciting right? X_x

Almost forgot!

2009-06-10T15:35:00.000-07:00

Don't forget to help support the Wiki. Friendly's right it could use some work. I'll be trying my part by working the spells and giving information and pictures of all the neat little spells you can use. Help improve the Wizard101 Wiki! It's a privilage and needs our help right?

First Day on the Job...

2009-06-10T14:44:00.000-07:00

After reading Friendly's blog for a while, I decided "Eh, what the heck, I'll make a blog..." And so this is the first official post! * I'm Chase Silverbane, but you can call me Sorion Hex.

I used to like blogging when I was little but I guess I never got the hang of it. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a busy brother with a little sister and a little brother, both annoying but I love them. ** Anyways, I think my passions would be writing, I'm planning on one day making a book about a Wizard *** and turning it into a video game. I was there with the big VMK shutdown and play some other single player and multiplayer games. **** I wanted to try World of Warcraft to be honest with you but I came across 2 issues. 1) It took WAY too long to download, and 2) My computer's memory would have cried and exploded. I had found the Wizard 101 website one day by mistake and it didn't really interest me, so I ignored it and went in search of another game. But months later, my friend Melissa ***** pointed me in the direction of Wizard 101 again. Naturally I said, "But it seems so boring..." Oh how wrong I was; I immediately got hooked. You know something funny? When you first start out you have that "noobness" about you. I remember I chose death because of one of the other games I play and I said "WOW! I just hit 90 damage with this awesome sprite!" Noob. Now as a Grandmaster if somebody uses a Sprite on me my armor's defense makes it virtually useless, and I'll pretend it was a wand card.****** As for the game itself I have all my Wizard Slots filled in, and I'm not really a fan of the school of Ice ******* so aside from that I have all the schools. But enough about me for now, let's talk about the game.

The main purpose of this blog is mainly to let you know what I do on Wizard 101. I'll probably give you some hints and tricks I've figured out myself. I've always said there's 2 kinds of people in the world, those who know about Wizard 101 and those who don't. If you're one of those who don't know about Wizard 101, let me give you a quick breakdown. Wizard 101 is a kid friendly MMORPG that uses a card game system in battles. So simple even a caveman can do it! ******** However, if you get bored of battles why not try housing? That's right! The folks at Kingsisle recently implemented housing so when you turn level 15, you can get yourself a nice little island to live in. Personally I live in the Royal Estate, VERY beautiful, and VERY workable with many items around the spiral. Anyways, that's today's little bit of insight for you.

Hope to see you in the Spiral!

*Applause. /**You gotta love kids... /***Wonder where that inspiration came from? /****Yes Runescape included -_- /*****You'll be seeing her a lot! /******Although wand cards in DragonSpyre are generally stronger... /*******Tower Shield >_< /********Copyright Geico?
