A Quick Update From DragonSpyre

Hello everybody!

I have finally found the time to jump on wizard101 and level up some wizards. School is starting up where I live so I hope everyone had an awesome summer. I hope it wasn't as hot for you all as it was for me. But that may be my inner Thamaturge speaking and not the Pyromancer. ;)

Here's a picture of Alex next to Cyrus in DragonSpyre. He's looking spiffy in that armor of his.

So, onto news from DragonSpyre. Alex is now a grandmaster! I started leveling him up in the summer of last year, so I've been leveling him up for a little over a year now. He has taken me the longest time to level up to. I blame that on the low accuracy and decreased health... and also society. Storm is one of my favorite schools to solo on. I can usually get a good hit in in about four to five rounds, provided that the opponant isn't a Myth mob. However, I wouldn't even try to attempt what The Friendly Necromancer has done with his Storm wizard, Angus. I would just about have a meltdown if I went into a dungeon without any gear on. I may do that with a death wizard though. I'll just need to pack a bunch of Scarecrow treasure cards.

Alex is almost finished with DragonSpyre. He is knock knock knocking on Malistaire's door. Stay tuned for a  video of the battle with Malistaire. It may or may not be a solo fight depending on my how much time I have to play.

I have began to quest more on my alternate account. My first project for that account is to get my Fire and Balance wizards to level 28 by next summer. They will be used mainly for PvP and crafting. Speaking of crafting, I have almost completed my Stellar Signet. Those Golden Pearls and Sunstones are tricky reagents. You may be lucky one day and find three of each in the Bazaar, or you could spend several days farming bosses and the Portico for them.

Happy questing! =)

News and Updates

Hello everybody!

I haven't posted in awhile, so here's a long awatied entry. I've been very busy with life and I haven't been able to get on Wizard101 much. As you all know, my death wizard hit Warlord last week. I have decided to wait on PvP until next summer when I have more time to actualy play the game. This will also give me some time to catch up on new things in Wizard101. Who knows, there may be something new and better in PvP in the future.

Wysteria is here! Yesterday, Wysteria was released into the live realm. Wysteria looks like a fun side world. It's a very beautiful world and I would love to have a year to "learn" there. The down side is that this world will be a big challenge for level 25 wizards who go through here. Most of the bosses have over 1,500 health. The bosses in Marleybone have only around 1,200 health. This world is a mild challenge for legendary wizards. The quest line will also take only 2 hours to complete.

Also coming to the Spiral is the Wyverns Hoard! This pack has everything, literaly. With crafted items to new pets. This pack also has gear specializing in PvP, pet energy and healing. You also have a rare chance to get a festive Wyvern mount! The gear doesn't look too appealing, but that's why we have the magic of stiching. This pack contains teleporters in every color. Now you don't need to spend time crafting.

Wizard101 is now coming to China. I may or may not join that BETA testing since I didn't join the UK's BETA testing of Wizard101. Wizard101 gift cards are also coming to Canada.

Happy Questing! =)

Advances in the World of PvP

Hey everyone!

So, if you read my "About Me" section on this blog, you will see that my Death wizard doesn't duel. Well, that is in need of inprovement. I have gotten him up to Warlord status and leveled him up to level 26. Adebt PvP is very fun and mildly challenging. You can win pretty easily if you know what you're doing. But if you don't know what you're doing, you can find yourself losing the majority of your matches. Here's a quick picture:

PvP at the Adebt level will get harder as your rank increases. For instance, at Commander, you should expect to see a couple level 50-60 wizards. It is very rare to face a level 60 wizard, however, it isn't uncommon for your opponent to be a level 50-55. Some of the best duels I've been apart of were against level 48 and 52 Life wizards. They had reasonibly high health and healed very often. It was difficult to get a good hit on them, but through my strategic use of Poisons, Skeletal Pirates, and shields I eventualy defeated them. Slow and steady really does win the race... or duel in this case.

As most of you know, the Test Realm is open featuring the new world of Wysteria. I have to say, this world is definetly one of the more beautiful worlds in the Spiral. In the world of Wysteria is Pigswick Academy, a rival school to Ravenwood. We are called to Pigswick Academy to compete in the Spiral Cup Tournament. This tournament is a competition between the schools of the Spiral for the ultimate prize, the Spiral Cup.

The first thing I did when I went into Wysteria is scouting out the competion in the Student Dorm. After that, I went on a tour of the campus. It seems that everyone there will undermine you, including the Headmaster! The staff and students of Pigswick will act superior to you. When you finish the tournament and win the Spiral Cup, then the students and staff of Pigswick will treat you as an equal.

Wysteria has threeareas, Pigswick Academy, Pegasus Place, and Tanglewood way. Each area is very beautiful. Wysteria is based off of an Italian theme in the architecture. There is also a seperate area in the Pigswick Library. It's called the Library Archives. This is an instace, but it isn't a very hard one. There is only one boss in this instance. Once you finish Wysteria, there is a tower in Pegasus Place called the Tower of the Helephant. This tower looks to be difficult, but there is a great guide you can look at on Wizard101 Central.

Happy questing! =)
