Long overdue update by Zaolan

I have been putting this blog entry off for as long as it could because for whatever reason - lately, all my screenies that I've been taking of Suri reaching Master Artisan, reaching level 60, getting Efreet, gaining a few dropped items from farming, etc, are.not.taking despite they say they took. I was going to take a video of me using Efreet but then my Xfire wouldn't work for whatever reason either. I do think that my issues are over though. So, here is an update from moi, Zaolan.

-My Wizard101 Updates-

.Suri reached Master Artisan finally.
.Suri reached level 58, and achieved her spell Efreet.
.Reed reached Master Artisan.
.Calamity got her robe that I want for her new look for stitching lvl 60.
.Still farming for Suri's robe for the same thing.
.Finally got a death ninja pig, professor wu, and a green swords display as drops.
.Got st. patricks day wands dropped at Jade Oni.
.Hatched with Grace and got myself a Reaver (Satyr + Hydra)
.Alura made it to the krokosphinx as well as Grizzleheim finally.
.Calamity made it to Dragonspyre.
.Ravenbloods made it to Mooshu - not sure if this was ever talked about.

Suprise Bundle for Me

So as blogged about before, yes my birthday wasn't too long ago, and yes I was content with not being able to get anything this year as a present, since times are tough, but low and behold...a couple days after my birthday I got a message from Nins, aka Grace Dreamhaven, to sign out of my game and back in right away. I was like, um, okay? 

So, I did, but then I had to get back off (didn't even log in to a char) because I needed to go do something real quick for Z on another game. Then, as I was about to log in to wiz, I decided I was too hungry, so I again closed it, and went down stairs to cook food. 

Finally, about 1.5 hours later, I get back in front of the computer, sign in to wizard to find a gift box on the left of my screen! Gasp! Mega gasp when I look to see it's the contents of the EPIC BUNDLE CARD!!!!11!ONE

Epic Bundle Giftcard. My Birthday.

It's my birthday today. Woot. Pretty excited, hopefully going to have a good day, but so far its going good. X bought me an Epic Bundle gift card from Game stop, and I took a lot of pictures of each item that I could choose from. I know that this isn't something that is new for a lot of people but I'm stoked. I'm really into Fantasy and the Medieval and Victorian era so when I first seen that this was out there I've wanted it. I thought since someone might be interested in knowing what each thing you can get from it, the stats and what not, so took a picture of the items to hopefully help someone with it. Let's start.

 

I gave the game to my main character Tristan.

 

I gave the Fantasy Palace. and the Gryphon to my Life Character Alura, which just so happens to be my lowest level wise.  Why? Because I really saw her being the Princessy type character, and I thought the Gryphon looked awesome on her. 

I gave the Fierce Hound to my death character Mason since I thought it would fit him best. So far it has given good stats for him specifically. I picked it to be blue since Mason's colors are black and blue. 

Here is the wand(s) that you can choose from, each wand gives one card of each school from what it looks like. 60 to 110 hit depending on the level. I chose the level 50 for any of my Grandmasters since they all pretty much need a wand to go back and forth between them when I'm actually playing on them that's level 50. I'll most likely give it to Reed my myth until he's done using it. 

Here are the pictures of all the clothing levels that I could choose from. This was the hardest part for me to do. I originally thought that I would give it to Tristan because I really like the type of clothing style it is, the Overlord clothing I think it is actually called but I decided against this because I would be losing too much especially since I'm in Celestia with him. So, I decided to get the 30's for Mason since he would benefit the most from the gear. 

With that said, I'm suppose to be having Schezuan for dinner, lots of farming, German Chocolate Cake, X says he might get me a Gourami as well later on. Maybe. Might wait for black friday. lol. Could also be going to Gamestop and Riteaid for ten dollar cards to get a brute piggle and brave piggle. What are your thoughts about these pets? We've heard they give pretty good talents. 

On a last note, if you follow us on Twitter you might have seen us saying our 2yr old Goldfish named Dhani was in extremely poor health due to being confined in a ten gallon tank. Neither one of us could afford a bigger tank for him. Thankfully, a neighbor who has a lot of tanks that she doesn't use at all, gave us a twenty gallon. He's still sick but he is getting much better. We're very happy about this. Any of you out there that think that a fish is just a fish, then you've never had a fish like him. He's awesome. He's smart. He likes to play and even tease our cats. He even lets our cats put their paws on him while standing over the tank. And then he swims away really fast like 'hahaha you can't get me' and makes them chase after him back and forth. It's entertaining to say the least. We really didn't want to lose him after losing his tank buddy not too long ago. R.I.P. Emile.  

Happy Crafting Twoheadedwiz :p 

Happy wizarding everyone else.

PS Today is the last day to send in your entries for the contest. Must be submitted by 9pm EST tonight. Details can be found on the left of this post. Good luck to all our entries. 

Falling off bridges

This blog entry is all about a glitch or error that I found in Celestia. Maybe I'm the only one that has came across from this, and never know, maybe KI will see this and find out why it happened, but, here is my, Z, experience in Stormriven. Let me know if you or someone you know has had this happen to them.

 

 Here is Tristan looking back up to where he had just fallen from, off the bridge heading toward Leland to try and turn in a quest. He was riding his horse but I unequipped it to get a better look for the pictures. 

 

Here is a view of the other bridge.

 

And, on each end of the running strip, inbetween the bridges down below as you can clearly see Tristan is trapped in. He tried everything he could to get out but he was stuck. I finally had to port him back to the base camp and run all the way back to where I was to turn the quest in. 

 

With that said, again, has anyone ever came across this glitch or error in the game? X and I tried over and over to try and find the exact spot where it happened, but, to no avail we never found it, oddly enough. It's out there somewhere though, apparently. I would assume all games like this would have something like this out there, somewhere, but, I do wonder since we've never came across this anywhere else in the game, if KI even knows about it?

With that said, we've finished Stormriven and Stormriven hall, and zoomed off to the Lunarium last night while we actually had a chance to play in CL. X and I both definitely liked the Morganthe's and Celestian's battling one another in the beginning in one of the rooms. It was awesome in our opinions. I do feel though, and I've been saying this over and over to X about Stormriven hall especially, I feel like theres something else there that we've missed. I mean, the big eyeball thing.. It doesn't explain it at all unless we've missed something in there. Is it a Kraken? Is it the Leviathan? 

Off to do more questing on the Ravenbloods though, to try and get their minions. Deja vu anyone?

Adrian's First House!

I have loads to post on, however, I just wanted to take a break from all the Celestia talk that I will be doing in the future, and look at my second grandmaster, Adrian Winterhaven's very first house in game. Now, Adrian would have been my THIRD grandmaster, but when my Death character Mycin the first, was level 44, Z and I decided to delete them and start over.

We really didn't like the way we had spent our TP's the first time around. Since they were only our second characters, we hadn't really grasped the concept of Training Points yet.

After we restarted them, I began to work primarily on Kieran, my storm and first character, both initially, and to reach grandmaster, Adrian, and Aedan (Dragonbreath, my Lvl 40 Pyromancer). When Aedan was level 35, and Kieran along with Adrian were GM's Z and I decided to start leveling up our Myth characters, rather than continue power leveling/questing on Aedan and Calamity (Starcatcher, Zaolan's Lvl 40 Thaumaturge.

I think the reason behind that would be fairly obvious if you have read some past posts, stating that Adrian's questing partner is Suri Summergrove; Grandmaster Pyromancer. Now that the Myth Twins, Ryan and Reed Legend are Grandmasters, we've put them on hold, and returned to Adrian and Suri, in an effort to get them on their way to Celestia.

As you might have read, from Kash's (Zaolan) post, before this one by me, now, we have done so. I must say, I'm really glad that we stopped questing as soon as we hit Grandmaster. Never went even ONE step further. Already, both are a higher level than Kieran and Tristan, who are in Celestia! Lol. I know, I know, this just means that they will reach Legendary, far sooner, but meh. :) Hopefully by then, a new world will be out? Eh, a wizard can wish. ;)

On to the reason for this post, shall we?

Adrian's very first house. The small wizard city. I had well over 70k in the bank when I bought this. I didn't want it because I couldn't afford anything else. I wanted it, because I liked the way it looked. I thought it fit him nicely. What do you think?

Maybe at a later date, I will post pictures of his Ice School house. It's still in the process of being fully decorated.

Until next time: Happy Wizarding!

Oh Em Gee!

So the long awaited wait, has just significantly gotten shorter. Now, I haven't tried yet, because the site said it would be down until 7am Central, which ends in 12 minutes. Could it get any longer?! Lol, jk. Zaolan and I have made the decision that we probably should wait until we venture in to Celestia for at least a -little- while.

We'll see exactly how little that wait is, eh? Mostly because of the massive amount of people trying desperately to get in to the great underwater world. I am definitely excited about the final release. Let's hope it has very few bugs. I wasn't expecting it to be so early, however, when KI changed Wild Bolt, etc, Zaolan and I talked it over, and realized most likely CL would be out the Wednesday -before- Halloween.

And what is today again? Wednesday, before Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, what does everyone have planned? Anything good? I so would go trick or treating.. and I'd probably pass as being young enough to, but at the same time, I don't want to. Mainly, because I don't have a costume. But oh how I wanted to go as Halston Balestrom!

What are you going as, that is, if you are going?

Currently in game, we are leveling up Mycin and Mason Ravenblood, as well as Aedan Dragonbreath, and Calamity Starcatcher. However, I have a feeling we're going to hop on Adrian/Suri or Ryan and Reed and finish some Dragonspyre now that the level cap has been upped! Woot.

What are your plans for Wizard, now that Celestia is live?

Happy Wizarding everyone!

Nightshade pays off;

So, farmed like crazy as stated in a couple other posts, by myself, or Z, for a couple weeks straight actually. Here is all the drops I got, before I finally called it kaputs.


Halloween Robe (Female)


Ninja Pig Robe


Another Halloween Robe (Male)

Plain Pumpkin Mask (yes, this does drop from him)

Cyclops Pumpkin Mask


Pirate Pumpkin Mask


Happy Pumpkin Mask


Goofy Pumpkin Mask


Scary Pumpkin Mask


Silly Pumpkin Staff


Black CAT! I finally got it. :)

Sorry I don't have an actual screenie, but I had set the chars to hit and then walked away. I didn't know what I had got as a drop that round until it had already disappeared from the left side of the screen. I have named him Midnight.


An entire Army of Blue Banshee's and Midnight Sprites...
(Click picture to see the full picture..and not all of them are there.)

I actually put about 10 more of those pets on my death character to have for his graveyard. Spooooky. ;)

Now, this picture here, if you click it, it gets bigger..but it made me go, "wha??" When reading it. This is for the Master Crafter Badge quest. Any one know what "room" he happens to be talking about? I thought we were standing outside. ;)



Happy Wizarding Everyone!

PVP and Pet derby

For Kai and myself, last night we ventured into unknown territory. Mycin and Mason - The Ravenbloods found themselves in Unicorn way over toward Diego, and headed into the arena. We both vowed never really to get into PVP but, we decided to give it a try since we've only done it a few times in practice, never ranked until last night. We played five battles and we would have a perfect score if only it had not done what it did. Thus the reasoning behind this blog entry tonight.

For some reason, it was our third battle, and the game froze on my (Mason) client, allowing Mycin to be sucked into the battle yet, I was standing there on the side. I tried running in, more than once, but, it wouldn't allow me to do so. We're only level twenty on these sets of characters, so Mycin (Kai) would not have been able to battle the other two alone, especially since one of the opponents was well over 2k health. It would have been a disaster.

After those five battles and raising our rank to sergeants, we went over toward the pet derby area, since that was also something we have never done before, so Mason strapped on his best teen pet that he has, and we did a few races, but it took forever since for whatever reason it was having a lot of trouble 'confirming' after the race had all of its racers. Mainly came in third. Not really sure that we will continue this, but, we both seen a few things that we want to get with arena tickets just to have.

Anyone have this issue happen with you in the pvp arena? We're curious to know what your opinion is about this.

Hybrids Galore and a bit of a surprise!

So many successful attempts at hatching for hybrids! Very exciting. I still need to hatch Adrian's Ice Colossus with Suri's Helephant to get the Helephant version of the mix, but this is what I got on the first try. Cool, huh? He's awesome. Suri did however get the Ice Helephant thing, I can't remember the name. My bad, haha.



Two attempts with Ryan's Orthus and Kieran's Stormzilla, both a sucess! Mythzilla and Tempest Hound! So awesome! Very exciting. I'm waiting to hatch with Adrian's Colossus' and Ryan's Orthus' currently. I have enough gold, but I'm holding on to it in case Celestia goes live soon and the new mounts are available in gold, as well as crowns.



Yes, that is Kieran's Stormman in the background, lol.



Ryan, with the Tempest Hound. It is unbelievable. Loving the colors. Notice anything different about Ryan's look?? Yes, that's right, she hit GRANDMASTER three days ago! Woot! Lol. Both her and her twin brother reached the end of the line in the Crystal Grove, just like all their predecessors.

Kash and I need to work on Aedan and Calamity's characters, as well as The Ravenbloods, and then of course the lowly Fallon and Alura, however, we're too busy farming for the Black cat. [[Spoiler alert]] Kash on Reed, got this pet dropped a couple of days ago! Shhh, act surprised when and if he finally decides to post on it. ;)

This is all for now, I have more to post on but I will wait until another day.

Happy Wizarding!

The Ravenbloods Prism Death, again

Mycin and Mason made it to level 18 finally, receiving their death prisms for the second time. Since we deleted the original Ravenbloods to start them over, they've kind of just been sitting on the back burner chillin' a while along with Kieran and Tristan's cousins, Alura and Fallon. Though, we play the Ravenbloods more than we do the cousins.


(Mycin and Lord Fluffy)


(Mason and his death leprechaun, Mister Lucky)

Not for any particular reason, it just usually always happens that way. Anyway, Mycin and Mason rushed around and finally stood in front of this here guy, name escapes me, to learn the secret words to forge their prism spells. Pretty excited. Something also exciting, or more like funny:



For some reason Mycin's pet was the only thing you could see on my end, lol. It's like he isn't even in the battle, but you can sure see Lord Fluffy there!

Nothing beats a pet that's REALLY there for you!

"I've got your back Mycin, you can count on me!" -Lord Fluffy

Haha, peace all and happy playing.
