100th post.

I don’t really have anything special for our 100th blog post. I only have random screenies of random battles on random characters. That, and a few screenies of Calamity, my ice alt, making master artisan and getting up to level 48 and getting the spell and pet. I won’t bore you all with a lot of chit chat, and will mainly just throw some pictures out there for you all. But, I will give you all a little update about what we have all been doing these past few days.

Alright, now for the actual post:

First off I want to say that I am sorry for all those that are suffering due to the storms devastation. We were lucky here but only barely, and for this I am very thankful. 

Second I want to say I am thankful for #Twizards out there, because you all rock, and make this community awesome. I am sorry that some of you are being used as a way to make someone elses blog look good. I just hope that they stop, and if they ever copy anything from myself or Z, or even Grace, you can bet I will be pressing that button at the top of their blog that says "report abuse" and follow the prompt all the way to copyright violation. It's pretty sad they are doing this because they are "too lazy" their words, not mine, to post their own work.

Thirdly, I will talk about Wintertusk. Am definitely loving the world, the land and the story line. However, playing on TR only makes me sad, because I have two items on TR that I would love to have in LR but can't afford to have. That is the life amulet, for Kieran, and the lifeforce blade, for Kieran as well. I also bought some mega snacks to see possible talents my Spineyfish will manifest. Oh how I wish! It's going to take me forever to get him to Epic LOL. I probably wont get it done until well after my subscription to Wizard101 has expired, eek. That is for sure. Not to mention, I don't want to get bored of the world before I get to play it on Live.

Wizard101, Runescape and More

Lots has happened in the Spiral for me, though in reality it just feels as if nothing has happened. Maybe that's because a lot of what I had wanted to achieve hasn't quite come to fruit yet. Mostly, pet leveling. I think I've managed to level up 3 pets from teen to adult, and about 6 pets from baby to teen. I have said this before, and I'm saying it again. I really wish KI would do something about the pet games. 

They are too boring (more so redundant) for the minimal rewards you get from them. I understand that's why they put the mega snacks in, but let's face it, I will never be buying any of them. $5 is just too much to pay for them. And I do have gardens full of supposed plants that drop said snacks. So far out of 50 harvests, I've gotten 3. Yes folks, just three.

Sparky that I finally leveled up to adult. Really enjoy having him along side my diviner.

Oh how I wish, test is now live, and whoa, seriously?

Well, as you’ve all seen, or heard by now Stormy Skies has it’s own custom domain. Yay. This is the first time I’ve owned a domain that went to nothing but a blog before, so it’s kind of new. Also, the first time I’ve used google as the domains host. So I’ve been trying to learn how things work behind the scenes here. You should all have heard by now that mounts will be free to roam houses in coming updates, like the pets do.

Been doing some things ITS but nothing too big. Mostly farming. Managed to snag a couple Staff of the White Rabbit from the Jade Oni. Going to be doing some more farming today at him, as well as maybe some Nightshade. Since there is now a bunny costume in game. Haha. 

Mount Week and More from Xinaed;

If you haven’t heard by now that it’s mount week ITS then where in the world have you been? Everyone’s talking about it. It’s the buzz about twitter, facebook, wizard101central, DoaW and much much more. Personally, I wouldn’t mind have them all, but, I would really love to have me some swiftshadow wings (been wanting them, and the seraphwings since they first came out!) And it just so happens that HiaG is giving away codes for the wings! I’m trying to do what she has requested, but I’m kind of confused with her rules.

But then again, I confuse easily. Also been keeping track of all the codes that DoaW has been giving out. At least, the ones I’ve seen. It’s hard to do when I can’t have twitter open most of the time. The way our net has been acting lately we can’t keep anything open that is pulling from the internet, if we are trying to play Wizard, or do anything else on line that we might want to do. So it’s been really frustrating. There are other really cool mounts, but like said, I’m not all that in tune with things going on due to net being wonky. I get what I get, and that’s it.

Just in case you haven’t heard, here is the link to Wizard101’s official announcement on said contests. Clicky Clicky. Kind of sad that we weren’t chosen to participate, but we’re thinking we missed the opportunity one of those times we couldn’t have twitter open, or even a browser. Oh well. It would have been fun to finally host a contest, where the prizes are uber, and better yet, sponsored! One thing I will say, is that not having access to twitter and other social networking sites makes one feel so left out of the community.

Wizard101 Farming and Simming on the Side

So, to deal with the grinding of Wizard101 farming, and questing (yes it's all pretty much grinding any more since we've gotten at least one character to Legendary, as well as others pretty high in level) we, Zaolan, Grace and I, have been playing the Sims2 on the side. Or more so, Z and I, playing The Sims Life Stories, and Grace, The Sims Pet Stories. Though, Grace has only been playing hers a few days now. I on the other hand, have been playing the Sims since the very first game ever. And have been a huge fan of them. It is probably my favorite game of all time. As far as non MMORPG games go, Or RPG games to be more precise. I think we can guess what would be my favorite MMORPG. :P

Made Master Artisan finally on Adrian. Woot, go me. Suri snagged the title along side him as you can see. That was Z turning in Suri's quest. Need to finish that quest on Ryan soon, but haven't really felt like reagent hunting. Adrian should have his GM Artisan badge as soon as he has access to the Portico to go pearl hunting. Don't really feel like doing it on Kieran, lol.

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

Happy Thanksgiving and Why KI, WHY?!

So, first off, congratulations to the winners of our contest. You've all been emailed with instructions on how to get a hold of us, etc. Second, Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate. And to those that don't: Happy Last Thursday in November! Third, WHY KI, WHY am I seeing drops like this? I thought that maybe, just maybe it was random or something...and that it would go back to normal. However, it's not getting any better. On average, I get one drop per battle, where as Tristan gets 4 drops per battle, on average. 

How is this fair? He has reached 200k in gold selling drops twice now, and I've barely made it to 40k. Is anyone else noticing a drastic drop in drops on their character? We thought it might have just been Celestia, but no. We farmed in Dragonspyre for a couple of days back to back, and the same thing. 0-1 drops for me and 3-7 drops for him.There is no way I'm going to be able to finish anything I've been trying to do since it all takes gold to do it.

This is going to be a short post due to the fact that it's a holiday and all. Kind of started the day off late...and we're only now getting the gravy ready, since the turkey only just now finished cooking...... So, I'll leave you with these screen shots, taken just ten minutes ago. The first battle we did when signing in to the game. Had me so frustrated, I closed the game and decided to blog about it. 

Tristan's Drops....

Kieran's Drops...fair? I think not.

Happy Wizarding and Thanksgiving everyone!
