I saw something flying around a young Elephant Ears. It looked like a pink wisp. I thought: How cool!<br />

</tbody></table> I was wrong. It was a Ghoulish Wisp, a level 2 pest. Bummer, I thought it looked friendly... I had to run to the nearest mole to learn a new spell to get rid of it.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, I also made it to GrandMaster Gardener. Woot!<br />

<br />
I don't know how frequently I will continue to post. But I will whenever I feel like it. I might also post on Facebook. Look for my picture under the name Giovanni Francesco (not my real name). Work is keeping me busy and most of my online time, I try to spend it in the spiral.<br />
<br />
During the last holidays, Gilroy made it to Legendary and completed Celestia. Wow, we have been talking about Celestia for a long time and it's already done.<br />
<br />
I have taken up gardening. It's more fun than I thought it would be. Mostly thanks to the Giving Tree that made me level up very fast. I am now level 9, Master Gardener. My favorite plant so far is the King Parsley. He literally rocks!! The Orange Dandelion is also very cool with its swirling pixie.<br />

Again, WOW, what a nice place! Look, my vampire is taking a stroll in this wonderful tropical forest. Though it's rather strange that a vampire would wander in a tropical forest in day light...<br />

</div>I also found this Treasure Card Recipe seller that has a very interesting recipe. Elucidate will reduce the pip cost of the target spell card by 2. Looks like we need to be GrandMaster Artisan to craft it though. I think that will probably be the first thing I craft as a GrandMaster Artisan.<br />

It's been a long time since my last post. Nothing much was happening in my Wizard City neighborhood. But now, Celestia is on the test realm...<br />
<br />
My first impression is WOW, at the risk of repeating myself, KI have outdone it once more! Celestia is now my favorite world.<br />
<br />
I did not have time to play as much as I would have liked. I just finished the Stellarium. It took me four attempts, but I managed to solo the instance (Thank you Death School). Loved it, the difficulty level is perfect, winnable but not at every attempt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYfOZWAecv9tViK1HZxlCvGCV4ieyUJ6O7fFnZW6Uy4JFkjbr6B7uPnk5_O5g2oNPO2LIhbtRvKS8hYcPIUonihvgegws8eht_m1CH3JqIihfkCWVM9hEy9MYTdkXM-qYuAmQ_rAVah0s/s1600/Picture+2010-10-12+22-31-48.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYfOZWAecv9tViK1HZxlCvGCV4ieyUJ6O7fFnZW6Uy4JFkjbr6B7uPnk5_O5g2oNPO2LIhbtRvKS8hYcPIUonihvgegws8eht_m1CH3JqIihfkCWVM9hEy9MYTdkXM-qYuAmQ_rAVah0s/s400/Picture+2010-10-12+22-31-48.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Took me a while to understand the "Critical and Block" concept. I am going to have to search for better gear again. I will have to sacrifice the high health and boost on Death damage.<br />
<br />
Love the new school; I will have experiment more with those on the test realm.<br />
<br />
So far I found only a small bug, the death shield are invisible. Can't wait for Celestia to come on live!!<br />
<br />

First of all, I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to KI. You have created a great game and I am sure you will celebrate many many more birthdays.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Last weekend at the bookstore, I stumbled on the Sept/Oct issue of Beckett Fun Online Game Magazine (or FOG). So I brought it home and entered the code for the Starlight Pony and gave it to my fire wizard, Jasmine. I was a little disappointed that it was only a 7-day rental, but nevertheless I took nice pictures. The pony has the same color eyes has Jasmine's hair.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I played mostly my Storm Wizard, Kyle Darkflame. He's now level 22. He just got his Kraken spell. Did Savarstaad Pass in Grizzleheim and now he's starting the Grand Arena in the Krokosphynx. Fizzle rate is quite annoying with Storm wizards. But since he's level 22, fizzle seem to have come down to a more acceptable rate.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Gilroy has found a new place to farm for gold. He does the first two level of the Warehouse. Each fight give him about 130 golds. It's quite fast too. He brings a small deck with only Scarecrows and blades. When everything goes well, it takes only two Crows to defeat the bad guys. The second fight is usually longer, the ice monsters will cast tower shields and the life ones will cast more desth shields. And then, I like to take a shot at Boss #1. The best I have done is kill the first two minions and half way to the last one. I am sure this is soloable. If only I could use blades.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a mount because of the saddle. I wonder if there will be a mount version? Although it could be weird to run around Mooshu on the back of a shark...<br />

Woohoo!! Can't wait for Celestia!! Thank you Prof. Falmea and good luck in your new post at KI!<br />

<br />
<blockquote>Dear Wizards &/or Parents,<br />
<br />
<br />
As you know on 7/9, during the restart of the game after a short maintenance window, some items were lost that had been in use or equipped just prior to the shutdown. We sincerely apologize and we promise that all individual claims will be reviewed and addressed.<br />
<br />
So that we can quickly get your account back to rights, we request your assistance. Please provide the following information (we know some of you already have, but the succinct reiteration will allow us to quickly target your account):<br />
<br />
1. Account Username: (No passwords please!)<br />
<br />
2. Character Name: (if you have more than one character with the same name, please add in the school/level)<br />
<br />
3. Specific Item(s) Lost: (If you are missing a pet, please provide the talents/level)<br />
<br />
4. Specific Item(s) Lost:<br />
<br />
5. etc.<br />
<br />
A few additional notes:<br />
a. This ticket will NOT automatically close <br />
b. Please respond only to this email for this topic. Opening new tickets will require more time by the support staff to link your tickets together (and thus slowing down our ability to get your items recovered). If you have questions unrelated to this issue, please just open a new ticket/email.<br />
<br />
We anticipate the full recovery for all impacted players will take a few days. Your continued patience & understanding is greatly appreciated. <br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />

I replied with the requested info. I am confident that KI will resolve The Case of the Missing Dragon!<br />

So if any of you are missing an item, KI knows about the problem. I would still suggest you report it.

He's missing from Gilroy's inventory. <br />
<br />
I am pretty sure I had my permanent Blue Dragon ride when I first logged on this morning after the update. I had time to be on only a few minutes. When I entered the Storm School, I received a message that the servers were going to close in 5 minutes, so I logged of. When I came back tonight, My wizard was back in the Pet Pavillion like when I first logged on this morning. He should have been in the Storm School. I checked his bank and the shared bank, no trace of the Blue Dragon. My other wizards don't seem to have any missing items.<br />
<br />
I tried exiting the game and logging back on, but it was not successful. <br />
<br />
I contacted Wizard101's support. I hope they can find him. <br />

This is the second time this has happened. Last time was time, it was on <a href="http://jgoof.blogspot.com/2010/03/password-security_06.html">March 6th</a>. So I logged in my account with my real pasword to, like it says in the email, discard the temporary password.<br />
<blockquote>You have requested a new password. To log into Wizard101.com the website or Wizard101 the game, you must first follow the instructions below:<br />
(...)<br />
NOTE: The temporary password will only be valid for 12 hours. Temporary passwords do not work on the game login, only on <a href="http://www.wizard101.com/">http://www.wizard101.com/</a>.<br />
(<strong>If you did not request a new password, please ignore this message and login with your existing password. The temporary password will be discarded.)</strong></blockquote>And I also changed my password for an even tougher one to guess. BTW, since some people seem to be interested in my passwords, here a hint for you: they all have <strong>at least</strong> 8 characters and include letters, both capital and lower, numbers and special characters. Yeah, they take time to type, but I feel safer!!<br />
<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Yesterday, we got a little tremor at the office. The earth shook for a few seconds. It was funny, almost everybody got out in the corridor and were asking "Is this an earthquake?". Not me though, I stayed at my desk and tried to "enjoy" it LOL. We so rarely get earthquakes here. That little baby quake made a lot of commotion. But I got to feel lucky that I can laugh at our earthquakes. It's not so funny in some places. My heart goes to the people in Haiti still living in tents.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I had registered to beta test a new game, Wizard101. Here's my registration acknowledgment, received on May 31st 2008:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">And two long weeks later, on June 12th 2008, I was admitted the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote><span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Congratulations!

When Gilroy was admitted, the admission test put him in the Death School. Then he chose Fire as his second school. Hence the name "<em>Darkflame</em>". He chose Fire mostly because he loved the Fire spells. But when the game was released, he decided to change his second school to Life. Because he had experienced the higher world like Marleybone and Mooshu and found them quite difficult. Now he wishes he had not done that. The game was made much easier since then. Who remembers Maleybone with no sidewalks? I mean, there was almost no safe area on the sides...<br />
<br />
I still love this game so I am in no way planning to leave yet.<br />
<br />

He got two more talents: Intrepid and Slick-N-Slide. Intrepid is only a rare talent and it add +25 to the max running speed ( I guess) and +15 Max power. Not sure what it means exactly though... As for Slick-N-Slide, it's an Epic talent and it puts an oils slick on all four lanes in the derby.</div><div align="center" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I would have prefer to have the Epic Talents on the "Wizard side". Not sure I will race a lot. And those derby talents are more useful when I have the lead on the second lap. So I got to make sure I have the lead soon.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Looks like a lot of people like the new pets. I hope KI will add more servers. My friend Llewella Dragonsong and I had trouble to find a spot to farm Scargiver in Plaza of Conquest tonight for the Death Minotaur. There is also a lot more lag especially in crowded rooms.<br />
<br />
I also continued to train Gizmo. If all goes well, he should make it to Ancient tomorrow.<br />
