Green is lucky - At least for me.

Well everyone, meet Autumn Greenleaf.

If she's an angel, I guess she'd be Farrah Fawcett.

 Yes, I spent a lot of crowns on her outfit :D It's worth it cause she looks stylish and all the new wizards ooh and ahh at the Valor sword she has. She's one quest away from being level 15 and she's just barely* starting Krokotopia today. I decided to take the advice that a lot of people put on Wizard 101 Central and won't be giving her a secondary school. Instead she'll be studying ice all the way to tower shield, death until feint, and storm for whatever other points she may have. I think this is a pretty good plan since there aren't nearly as many life bosses as there are any other kind, and when I encounter life I can just use prism and a death wand/blade to get rid of shields. Plus it stinks to have to wait for 7 whole rounds just to get enough pips to use the good spells in a secondary school. Better to just have more stuff to power up your primary school spells. Once I get centaur I will be unstoppable. Now my main mission is to save up all my gold for a life house! :P

Mr. Pepper: "Good luck with that, you shopaholic!"

Safe journeys, everyone!

*Barely being used very loosely in this case. I actually just started this character the day before yesterday. Can anyone say "addict"?

 

You'll never go hungry again

What do you call a necromancer who marries rich? A gravedigger!

This has been Advice From Autumn. We now return to your regular program.

Back in the saddle - Or rather, the broomstick.

It's been a long time since I've played Wizard 101 extensively, let alone blogged about my progress. But seeing as it's summer break and I'm a bit burned out on Combat Arms, I decided to log in and see how things were going in the Spiral. And of course the Wiz101 Facebook memo saying the new pets were live definitely piqued my curiosity. Needless to say I was excited to see if my firezilla would have all the new features that the new pets did; lo and behold, I had a special "new" zilla that was already a teen (which was handy because I'd rather not get addicted to training it). I think the new pet area is great, it's a good place to waste time if you're tired of the regular grind of farming and want a little bit of old fashioned competition. I also like that you get exp. just from talking to the people there :P


Aside from that, I've already spent a lot of time farming some more on my Grandmaster, Autumn. I got a couple new swords, a new pet, and tons of loot to sell on my new life character, Autumn Greenleaf (yeah, yeah, I know. But I've tried all the other schools and none of them were the same. Life is the only one for me). I got $20 worth of crowns too and spent it on a wings mount, so now Autumn looks like a true valkyrie :P That's about the extent of my crown splurging. I decided that for the house I would save up 100,000 gold on my new character (an insane endeavor, I know). Shouldn't take too long, since all the loot I get on Autumn will be auctioned by Autumn Greenleaf. Malistaire will aid me greatly in this mission.


Hopefully the limited update will tide me over until the level cap is raised and Celestia is released. Until then I'll just be trying to farm bosses for swords and pets. I plan on making my home a huge pet reservation.


That's all for now. Safe journeys, everyone!

Back - In green. And blue. And purple.

It's been too long since my last post! And I must admit I don't have a good excuse as to why other than pure laziness and mysanthropy. But the holidays have flown by, the new fps I've been playing has lost its shiny newness, and I am ready to get back into the Wizard 101 swing of things.

Couple updates, peeps. I'm filling up my family of wizards with my new additions of Calamity Stormcloud (diviner) and Sophia Frostblossom (thaumaturge). No idea why, I haven't even gotten my death mage to GM status, or even my fire mage. And Scarlet's been waiting so long. So long.... My guilty secret is I want to earn at least 100k gold on all of them to get the class houses. *evil grin* Yes, I know I'm cheap and lame, but it's a means to an end. So sue me.

I also finished a few quests on Autumn. She's pretty much almost done, though I'm not sure how much of GH there is left (still just barely into Ravenscar) and I feel very uninspired to find out. Waiting for the new GH houses to come out too, I want to take a tour :D

It's nice to take a break from the blood and gore of Combat Arms and just take it easy on Wizard 101. And kill bosses for their loot. Muahahahahaha.

Safe journeys everyone!

And now, Journey of a Young Wizard presents: Advice from Autumn.

This has been Advice from Autumn. And now, back to our regular program.

Missing out - Sad days for me

I'm totally gonna blow a fuse! >_<

I haven't bought crowns in a long time so I can't log into the test realm. Drat!

Looks like I'll have to wait and see what the new houses are like with the rest of the non-paying crowd. *sigh*

Oh. My. Bartleby. - Themed housing!

Soooooo, remember that one time I mentioned school-specific housing?

Well, KingsIsle is graciously giving us said feature this month! *Rubs hands together greedily* This is the moment we've all been waiting for! (Or at least I have.) What a perfect Christmas present!

The downside: they're expensive. Either 10,000 crowns ($20 USD) or 100,000 in-game gold. So either spend all your time and effort farming bosses for the money or spend real money. Weigh your options well, friends, because these houses look AWESOME.

 "Velcome to my house. I'd like to have you for dinner tonight.You know, cause I'm a vampire. Vampires suck blood. I want to eat you, okay? Jeez." 

*Jumps up and down excitedly* I can't wait! I can't! Though I'll have to, they cost a lot :'(

Happy Thanksgiving!

A bit delayed, I know, but Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Today I celebrated by having a delicious and perfect dinner with my family and then clobbering Malistaire for the fifth time ;)

Hope everyone has a great, relaxing weekend. Safe journeys!

Success! - In the Danger zone!

Thanks to the cooperation of over 50,000 Wizard 101 fans, anyone who is a member of Wizard 101 Central and a fan of Wizard 101 on Facebook will receive a special pet: a Danger Hound!

And, they're going a step further and for each additional Facebook fan we will also receive free gold! *Jumps up and down excitedly* I will be that much closer to getting a house for my sorcerer!

Let's all continue to work together so we can all be rich! Muahahaha!
