Gizmo is now an adult

Tonight, Gizmo, my Pioneer Dragon, made it to adulthood.  He got two new talents: 35 Mana gift and Stonewall.  Stonewall is an Epic talent that builds a four lane brickwall.  Can't wait to go try it out in the derby. 

The best snack for him that I found so far is the 7 Layer Taco.  He likes it and gives him 5 experience points.  It's a recipee I got from the DragonsSpyre Recipee vendor.  It's not expensive to make, the reagent are easy to find and gives great return.

Not sure what I am going to do next, continue training Gizmo or raise my Wraith to adult...

See you ITS!!

PLOX!

Blue Dragon!!

The new updates are now online and Woohoo!!  Gilroy finally got his permanent blue dragon!!

His pockets are 85K gold lighter, but he got what he wanted.

I did not get to try the test realm as much as I would have liked to.  But I was happy to see that some of my pets had a nice pedigree.

Gizmo, Gilroy's Pioneer Dragon has a pedigree of 59.  That seems to be quite a lot.  And it's higher than my Wraith.

Another surprise was my minotaur, Lord Maximus, he got the ability to cast Myth traps.  Although I don't have any Myth spells, I will definitly try some fight with him at my side, just to see him cast a spell.  :D

OK, got to go train Gizmo!  See you ITS!!

PLOX!!

The Goofy Wizard is 1 year old

May 9th last year was my first post.  I can't believe that one year later I am still blogging.  Not often enough, I agree, but I am still here.

Happy Birthday Goofy Wizard!!

I have been busy at work lately and most of the time I had, I spent playing Wizard101 instead of blogging. Since my last post, Blaze Darkflame is now well into Dragonspyre and he is now level 45. A whole new set of nice gear is avalable to him, Woot!

I am kind of glad the new pet enhancements are not coming to the real servers since I don't have much time to play. 

 

Advanced Power Pets!!

Woohoo!!  Advanced Power Pets are coming soon to Wizard101!!!

 

Look at Wizard101's web site for more details and a short video:
https://www.wizard101.com/game/advancedpowerpets

• Set your pets free to roam your Castles & Lands.
• Get your pets some exercise in the Derby.
• Buy or craft them treats to make them happy.
• Let them have some fun in the Mini-Games.
• Create new pets with the magic of Hatching.
• Watch as your pets cast their own spells in battle. 

  

I don't usually post about KI's announcements, but this is too huge!  :-)

 

I just can't wait.  I hope there is enough room in my Mooshu Palace to let my pets  go as they please.

 

WOOHOO!!!

Introducing Blaze Darkflame

After Jasmine completed the main storyline and made it to GrandMaster, it's now time to introduce my next wizard, Blaze Darkflame from the school of Balance.  I chose Death as his second school, for now he has leaned it up to Vampire.

I have been playing him on and off for a long time.  Last weekend, Blaze beat the War Oni and got to level 42.  So he was able to learn Hydra, WOOT!!

He already had one Hydra spell from his Master's Hat of the Hydra, a handme down from his big brother Gilroy.  These old crown items are quite awesome.  Gilroy was able to buy a few first generation crown items during the short time we could buy them with gold.  And they are helping a lot his younger brothers and sister.

GrandMaster Pyromancer Jasmine

Woot Ding!! Jasmine made it to GrandMaster!!

After doing the side quests of the three areas of the Athenum in Dragonspyre, Jasmine is now a GrandMaster Pyromancer.  She's now my third GM.  Here she is with her new black and gold GM outfit.  Her Malistaire robe is a gift from my main wizard Gilroy Darkflame.

Jasmine's next goal: Grandmaster

Jasmine is very proud of her victory over Malistaire.  But she's still level 49.  She did skip the side quests in Dragonspyre but so did my second wizard Liam Hawkheart and he was GM when he faced Malistaire.  I find that odd...  Anyway, Jasmine is back in Dragonspyre to finish cleaning up the streets LOL.  She's done with the Tower Archives.  Plaza of Conquest is next and about 16000 xp to go!!

Jasmine finally gets Malistaire

Jasmine, finally beat Malistaire late last night, making her my third wizard to defeat him.  Thanks to three fellow wizards who were also looking for help to teach the old professor a lesson: Flint Stone, Evan and Olivia Willowthorn.  We zoomed past the security and took him out!

Jasmine got a great reward.  She managed to snatch a Chirping Staff from the bad guy.  Not only is it cute, but it has an extra regular pip and does 90 Balance damage.  Not bad for a little birdie...lol

In the mean time, Gilroy is waiting impatiently the new upgrades.  The end of the summer seems like a very long wait to get our feet wet in Celestia.  I hope I will like the new pets.  But until now KI has done an awesome job, no reason it should change.

It But I never requested to reset my password.

It could have been an honest mistake from someone trying to reset his or her password. But it could also be an attempt to steal my account. I just thought I would tell you in case it happens to you too.

Just to be on the safe side, I changed my password on both my Wizard101 account and my email account.

Here is what a good password is: It has to be at least 8 characters. It must not be a word in any language. It should include letters, numbers and other characters like !"/$%?&*(). A good idea is to use two words that don't belong together and add numbers and other characters.

Better be safe than sorry!

See you in the spiral!! PLOX

Female Mannequin

Last night I finally finished my female mannequin.  As I expected, the black pearl took a very long time to harvest.  Transmuting helped, but needing 15 black lotuses for a single pearl still took some time.

Since I sell almost every piece of gear I get, I had to go to the Bazaar to dress her:

And I now have a trio of mannequin in front of my Mooshu Palace

I will now take a break from crafting.  All this harvesting is getting boring.

See you in the Spiral!
