Double Pet Experience + Crowns Sale!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday! Kingsisle has announced two special events. The first event is the Member Benefit, Double Pet Experience. If you have bought a Wizard101 membership, that means you can earn double the pet experience from Pet Pavilion games than you normally would! This member benefit will last through the weekend.

If you read my post from a few days ago, you'll know that I am currently leveling my Raging Bull pet. So far he's been lucky! As of now, he's received all of the talents that I've wanted (Unicorn, Energizing Battery, Block, and Critical). I started leveling him from Epic to Mega a few days ago. Lucky for me, Kingsisle announced the Double XP Member Benefit today! I'm happy because he'll make it to Mega by tomorrow. Here's hoping I get an amazing talent! I'll let everyone know on Twitter if I get an awesome talent. My current hope is to get spell-proof! We shall see. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy this amazing member benefit.

I also want to talk about another special event that Kingsisle currently has going on. If you're like me and you need to buy Mega Snacks to level your pet because you're not a gardener, you should buy crowns while they have this special sale. You can earn up to 50% more crowns. If you were to spend $80, you would end up getting 90,000 crowns instead of the original 60,000. That's awesome in the long-run! Okay, I'm done telling you about the amazing things going on through this weekend. I'll leave you to level your pets. Best of luck with your pet talents!

Crowns Sale - Through Monday, August 13th

Cat Run 2018: Recap

Hello Wizards!

Did you know that yesterday was International Cat Day? Well, Autumn & I decided to have an event in-game just for Cat Day. As many of you already know, we have Run Events. We decided to invite everyone in the community & have a Cat Run around the commons!

I announced this event around mid-afternoon! A few amazing people showed up and we talked a bit about the event. Eventually, the crowd grew from a few to dozens! It was awesome to see everyone again. I'll be honest, I missed a lot of you after the Holiday Mashup. It's always nice talking to everyone in-game or during our streams. But I'll admit I need to pay closer attention to chat once we start streaming. I'm such a blogger/typist! Anyway, let's recap what we did at this last-minute event.

The Cat Run - Around The Commons

We got all of our cat mounts, ears, and pets and lined up on the Rainbow Bridge. When we first started hosting events, we would only run around the commons. So I thought, why not run around the commons like we first did when we started the events? It was a lot of fun to see all of the cats running around in the circle around the pond! The game was laggy with all of the mounts, but the run itself was still a lot of fun. Plus it felt nostalgic to come back to our roots! 

Raid Wizard City - Meow, Meow, Meow!

Yes, we met in the middle of the pond after the run around it. Cats don't like water, but maybe our cats in Wizard101 do? Yeah, I don't think they do. Just look at the one at the top of the photo above. He's jumping over the other cats to get out. :P Anyway, we met in the middle of the pond to decide the areas we would raid. We raided The Commons (the scarecrow realm aka the roleplay realm), the pet pavilion, kraken, and the arena! It was a lot of fun. We mostly got positive feedback from our meow raid. Instead of Christmas Caroling, like we did at the Holiday Mashup, we just went up to random wizards and meowed. I mean, how random is that?! :P 

The Afterparty / Twitch Stream

After our wizard city raid, Autumn used one of her wizards to teleport everyone to her Darkmoor Manor. I didn't get to take a picture of it, but I drank a few potions... It actually turned my poor life wizard into a Gobbler (well after I bought a gobbler transformation from the crowns shop for 500 gold)! The afterparty was fun but I had to leave because I was hungry. If you haven't watched our streams before, you should know that once we are near the 2-hour mark of streaming, I suddenly get hungry. Yeah, you may hear that a few times in the stream if we stream around two hours. So speaking of around two hours... we did stream this event yesterday! If you'd like to watch part of our stream, you can view the video below. Thank you so much for showing up to this event. We love this community and we'll always have events like this for all of you. I can't wait to see you at the next event. Until then, I'll see you around the spiral.

Twitch Announcement: Weekly Streaming Coming Soon!

Hi there!

I'd like to officially announce that Autumn Dreamwalker and I will soon officially do weekly streaming! We'll still be having our event streams, but we're also going to have a few days out of each week where we stream for Y'all. :D I'm not going to officially announce the days/times until a later date, so you'll have to check our blogs for an official announcement. For now, let's talk about a few things that will change. Now for a random screenshot to make this post look amazing:

Twitch is a new journey that we took for events for the Halloween Run last year. The streams help with the avoidance of any confusion that the events previously had. As of recently, Autumn & I have been talking about weekly streaming. This means we'll be questing and maybe have a few parties to interact with you more than we previously have. It's still a work in progress but we've officially added Subscriptions & Bits to the channel.

Subscriptions & Bits: We've added these as options to our Twitch. I'm working hard to figure out the exact details of the Subscriptions if anyone does subscribe to our channel in the future. I'd like all of you to know now that we're not going to ask anyone to subscribe to the channel. It's an option to subscribe or not to subscribe. We'll leave it at that. :) Our main goal is to bring this community together. If you want to subscribe, please do not subscribe to this channel until we officially announce our schedule. You'll hear more about his announcement on our blogs, this website and Secrets of the Spiral. 

So what will we be streaming? I will let you know that we will be streaming both Wizard101 and Pirate101. We haven't figured out the exact details, but we will be focusing on both games. This is going to be an amazing adventure! I hope you're able to join us on it. Keep an eye out for more information.. We'll provide all of that as soon as we can. For now, I want to thank you all for your support! I will continue blogging, having events, and everything else. Here's to a very bright future! By the way... if you would like to check out our first unofficial first Affiliate Stream, click play on the video below. :) You can also check out our Twitch Account by clicking on the link below! Remember to keep an eye out for more information about our schedule! Until then, I'll see you around the spiral.

Side Questing with Suri Skullshard!

Hello Wizards!

I'll start off by saying that this is not a repeat Pirate101 post! I've actually been very busy side questing. :D Lately, I've noticed that I've been behind on a lot of side quests. I always collect any quest I see but haven't taken out time to actually work on these side quests. Over the past week, I've decided to catch up various side quests on my death wizard, Suri Skullshard.

On my last blog post regarding this wizard, I started questing through the Districts of the Stars in Celestia. I completed a few quests in the Districts of the Stars and skipped quite a few side quests. As I've already mentioned, I decided to go back to complete side quests these side quests throughout different areas. Although Suri is currently questing in Celestia, I decided to go back to Grizzleheim and start working on completing quests that I've missed there. 

The experience points in Grizzleheim are generally low if you're a higher level, but I was still able to level myself up more than halfway by completing quests from Mirkholm Keep to the beginning of Ravenscar. While questing through these areas, I kept imagining what the new graphics would look like. Now, I can't predict the future, but I have a feeling they'll update the graphics in this world. We'll see! Anyway, it was a lot of fun questing through part of this world again. I hope to complete it by this weekend and eventually start Wintertusk.

A few other side quests that I've worked on have been a few that I missed in Celestia. The storyline in Celestia distracts me, so I always want to complete the main quests first. I believe I've done this with my other wizards that quest through this world as well. So I've decided that I'm going to complete these side quests as I go. Once I'm done with one area, I'm going to go back to the previous area to complete any missed side quests. I think that'll help me out a lot, especially get my level 58 spell (Skeletal Dragon) quicker! I mean, how awesome is that spell? I guess I should get going so I can finish up a few more quests. Thank you all for reading! Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.

Side Questing with Edward Cringle!

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Yesterday, I was able to quest a bit in Pirate101. This time, I decided to quest one of my pirates, Edward Cringle. Some of you may know him if you have read my Swashbuckler walkthrough posts.

I created my Swashbuckler Pirate, Edward Cringle, in December of 2012. I started questing him through all of the different worlds of Pirate101 and made a post about each quest starting when he reached level 5. I recently took a break from questing him, but I am proud to announce that I am back and I'll be questing him a lot more! Before I talk about what I did recently, I invite you to read the posts that I've done on this character so far. If you'd like to catch up on my previous Edward Cringle posts, feel free to click on the link below:

Edward Cringle Questing Posts

http://www.edward.p101/search/label/EdwardCringle

Yesterday, I logged into my Swashbuckler for the first time in months! I was planning on continuing my main quest until I noticed the 18 pages of side quests that I had. It's amazing how many side quests Pirate101 has. What's also amazing is how much side quests can level you up. I decided to put a small dent into my side quests by sinking Inoshishi Ships in the Khoton Skyway in Mooshu. I had two quests that would give me about 800 experience points combined. So I decided to start sinking as many ships that I could. One quest required me to sink 4 Inoshishi ships and the other given quest wanted me to sink 12 of these ships. It was relatively easy! A few times I did purposely enter deck battle so I could take screenshots for future posts (such as announcements), but I had no trouble sinking these ships alone. Eventually, I completed the two quests and leveled up!

I've mentioned this in previous posts but I'll mention it again. Side questing really does help in the long run! My pirate will enter Marleybone soon and I want to be at the highest level that I can before I start questing there. Having additional attacks/powers will help me survive in these different worlds. Along with side questing, nautical leveling is also a good thing to do. You'll want to buy the best ships and ship equipment as you go. I usually wait until my ship can no longer keep afloat so I'm able to save up as much as gold as possible for gear and eventually a new ship/equipment. Anyway, questing this pirate was a lot of fun. I'll probably work through a few more of these side quests before I start making main posts again. I'll let you know when Edward Cringle is officially back! Until then, I'll see you around the skyways. :D 

Mooshu is such a beautiful world. We're nearing the end, but at least I'll be ready for Marleybone!
