Nightmare Pack!

So as everyone knows, the new Nightmare Pack just got released, and, well, I can honestly say that I got really lucky today!

I also managed to get my hands on a Witch's Broom and a Ghost Dragon. I'm thinking about purchasing a couple more because I heard there's a nice handful of pets in it, though. But either way, I'm happy I managed to get a Nightmare. It's quite cool-looking, no?

Also, it sounds like we're going to be stumbling upon a brand new world soon. A new gift card bundle was just announced, and to say I'm excited would be an understatement. Actually, scratch that. TWO new gift card bundles have been released, one featuring a peek into a new world and the other featuring hawk-inspired items including a pretty cool mount, if I do say so myself.

But anyway, that's all I know right now. Happy Halloween, everyone!!

Happy Halloween!!

Well, October is upon us and it seems the entire student body of Ravenwood is in the spirit of Halloween! Apparently, Wizard101 Central is having some contests to celebrate this exciting day of costumes and candy, so make your way over there and check them out for some cool prizes! I might be entering a few myself.

Also, in commemoration of Halloween, it looks like there's some new pets in the Crown Shop! The Nightmare looks quite awesome, and I'm heavily debating on purchasing it.

And even still, Gear-a-Palooza is going on until...today...what?! I missed it!? This is what I get for busying myself with my studies for so long. But oh well, I'm not sure if there's anything I'd purchase anyway.

But have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!

Decorating and Pixies

Well, while taking a break from Celestia and Wintertusk (yes, I know I'm slow), I decided to redecorate my Dragon's Fjord home with a lovely assortment random oddities I had acquired in my travels. And so, the new front room looks like this.
Quite lovely if I do say so myself. I was kind of going for an indoor garden-esque theme....or something like that. If you can see, there are multiple Life School pets scattered about as well including....
A Pixie Queen!! I decided to purchase just one more Wyvern's Hoard pack when I got some Crowns the other day, and well, I got lucky.

But aside from that, that's about all the exciting stuff that's happened to me. So I guess this is sayonara until next time!

Also, as an added note, don't forget to vote for Wizard101 in the Game Developer's Choice Audience Award and get a free Wyvern's Hoard pack! Plus, if W101 wins, we'll get an exclusive pet!

Meh

Hello, everyone!!

First of all, I apologize for the lack of...well, anything. I've been rather busy going back to school and keeping up with my job, so I haven't had much time for gaming.

I see that there have been new Pegasus mounts released; I'd love one, but they're so expensive! Maybe if they go on sale one day, I'll snatch one from the Crown Shop. Also, there were some new houses released, one of which being the Wizard's Watchtower; and of course, since I'm a huge bookworm, loved how it looked and bought myself one with my gold. No clue how I'm going to decorate it yet, but I think I'll figure that out eventually.

In other random news, my Storm Serpent decided to disappear for a few days, but with some help, I managed to get him back.

So I guess this is all for now; enjoy this random picture of me floating in midair--wait, WHAT?!

Wyvern's Hoard

Well, the other day when Wysteria was released in the Live Realm, I decided to test my luck with the new Wyvern's Hoard pack. So, with a grimace on my face and my lucky jade in hand, I bought a few and...

I landed myself a Gold Wyvern!





And I received this beforehand:


It's a Life Ghoul; pretty cool in my opinion. But still, I'm overjoyed that I didn't throw away all my crowns for nothing.

But in a bit of sad news, I decided to enter a few of the House-a-palooza/Central's 3rd Birthday contests and didn't even get on the board in any of them. Oh well. Maybe next week I'll be able to get somewhere with a picture of Meowiarty I'm working on. Here's my entry for the hand-drawn art contest that ended last week:

Being Riddikulus

Yeah, I've been reading Harry Potter lately, can you tell?

Slowly but surely still journeying through Wintertusk, just spent a heck of a lot of gold on new gear that makes me look like a Viking and makes me awesome. *puts on sunglasses*

Huh, that would be funny if your wizard could actually wear sunglasses in W101...And very, very anachronistically strange.

The stye is still there, and it's making it terribly hard to concentrate in battle. DARN YOU, EYE INFECTIONS!!

But enough of my rambling for today, you kids go have fun with your uninfected eyes.

More Random Stuff

Also, I'm just going to put this out there, but I'm here and willing to help ANYBODY in the game if they need it, whether it's answering questions or helping someone beat that one boss. I may not know everything, but I do want to help the community in anyway that I can.

Also, expect pet pictures soon C:

Stye in My Eye

Blaah, it's hard to concentrate today, due to working on a costume and my lack of sleep.

Which apparently has triggered an infection in my eye called a stye; it's basically like a blister on the underside of your eye that hurts to no end when you blink. It feels a bit like a bruise and sometimes looks like one too.

But enough about me, let's talk games.
That would be me right there, in a room in my Dragon's Fjord designed to look like Krokotopia and wearing my Guardian costume.

I've been adventuring through Wintertusk lately, finding this to be one of the best parts of the game released so far. Seriously. It's awesome.

I also picked up my copy of Beckett today, after having to drive into downtown to pick it up from my bookstore because my local grocer didn't have it. Sad face. Not exactly the most pleasant thing to do when you have an eye infection.

But, that's about all for today, it seems. Moral of today: wash your hands and sleep so you don't get a stye infection like me.
"This is gonna hurt...."

Starting Out

So today, I begin my new blog charting my many (mis)adventures in the game Wizard101. Let's begin with some backstory...

I started playing the game when it was first released, shortly after seeing the commercials on TV and ads for it all around. I became hooked to it within seconds, enjoying every moment of casting spells, summoning magical creatures, and trying to gather enough coins to get a pet dragon. Yeah, I really had my priorities straight. (I did get the dragon, for those who are curious, and named her Luna). After that, my range of free play ran out, but SURPRISE! With Christmas came a subscription, and I continued my journey through the Spiral as Shelby Spiritblood: sorcerer, loot merchant, and completely goofy at times.

So that's basically my story. I've recently defeated Malistaire in Dragonspyre, and really haven't gotten over the excitement yet to go mess around in Celestia.

Also, random little factoid about me; I enjoy putting trees where they shouldn't be. Like in houses. Why? I don't know.
