Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem

Hi there,

I have a different kind of post for you all today! Todd Coleman (creator of Wizard101 & Pirate101) created a new game! There's a countdown on the Play2Crush site and I'm guessing it's a countdown for the release of the game to the public or Beta. You can sign up for his game by clicking on the image below! :D I can't wait to see what Todd & Gordon Walton (Executive Producer) have planned for us. :D Okay.. GO SIGN UP! :D

Hi there,

It looks like I didn't get to post as many Christmas songs as I wanted to this year. I decided to make one last post (other than tomorrow) of a few of my favorite Christmas songs. :D I am sad I couldn't post 25 days of Christmas songs this year, but that doesn't mean in the future I'll post it again. I think I need a fresh start and I will get that after my break starting in the year 2015 *tries to make that sound futuristic*. :P Anyways... CHRISTMAS! I can't believe it's already Christmas Eve. I mean... I remember talking about Christmas being so far away in July and it's already December 24th, 2014! AH! I'm so excited for Christmas this year and I am thankful for many things. :) *** Warning, if you don't believe in the Birth of Jesus, please stop reading. If you want to read, please do and I hope you have a great day and/or Christmas tomorrow! :) *** I never forget the true meaning of Christmas which is Jesus being born on Christmas (or whenever he was born) but a lot of people celebrate His Birth on the 25th of December. I know there are some who don't believe in this story but I do, and I feel like celebrating by posting a few songs that show parts of the story about his Birth. :D

Thank you for listening to the songs today. I really enjoy the first video I posted on this blog because it shows how many people can come together just for Jesus. :) Thank you for listening. I'll have a post tomorrow with more of my favorite Christmas songs. I hope you all have a great Christmas Eve and please don't eat too many cookies like I am tonight. :D Merry Christmas!!!! :D

Ahoy Pirates!

Before you get excited, you need to know that I'm not returning just yet! I want to make a blog post today about something that many of you pirates have been talking about. It's been nearly two years since Pirate101 has had a new world update. I've leveled my witchdoctor, Edward, to level 65, leveled all of my companions to level 65 and even went to many NXP events to raise my nautical level to level 65 in hopes that I'd be prepared for the next world. My witchdoctor is ready for the next world but it doesn't seem Pirate101 is ready for the next world..

Pirate101 released two new worlds to the test realm in Spring 2013, which was nearly two years ago! I know it seems like it's been awhile, but the two worlds were made to make sure we had plenty to before the next world. I believe Wizard101 doesn't even compare to Pirate101 in terms of graphics, storyline and voiceovers. I think that it takes a lot more to make Pirate101, especially since Pirate101 has so many more details to the game. Pirate101 does have to make new worlds: spells, ships, companions, skyways, storylines, hiring voice actors, sounds, music and so many more things that they have to do. There are more details in Pirate101 than Wizard101. Wizard101 is a world that many of us came from and we're used to the release of many worlds at a certain time. Marleybone and Aquila are two worlds that I love and when I leveled through them, I knew they spent a lot of time on them!

I believe Pirate101 is an amazing game and they have something very special planned for us, but we need to give them time to make it for us. They can't make it in seven days because they are only human, but it's amazing that anyone could make something like this game at all! I've been a fan of Pirate101 since their first teaser in April 2012! If it takes too long for you, play Wizard101. They have a lot of worlds releasing (maybe too much at one time), but I know I'm catching up on Wizard101 while Pirate101 is working on the game. I'm going to play it again when they release their new world or worlds. I think all of the small Pirate101 updates are good, and will help us. I want a new world, but I'm going to wait for it. Take your time, Kingsisle! I'm always a fan of your games and can't wait to see what you have planned for us! :D To answer my question above.. I don't think it's been too long, the only way it would be too long is if they wasn't KI!

P.S. Thank you for the fun events (KI LIVE)!

Hi there,

So there's been a lot of talk around the community about bannings due to bad language, cheats and whatever else is against Wizard101 & Pirate101's terms of use. I think it's silly that there are people who blame Kingsisle for being banned for doing something against Kingsisle's terms of use. I joined the game about six years ago and I remember reading the terms of use and I knew not to go against it if I wanted to keep my wizard (and now pirate). I'm a blogger and I love making posts about Kingsisle's amazing games! There are many steps you can take to keep your account.. I decided I'm going to share them with you today so you know that if you blame Kingsisle for your account banning or muting, it's not really their fault.. Here's the few steps you should follow if you want to keep your account.

Click this image to read Terms of Use

Read Kingsisle's Terms of Use: One way as I mentioned above, is to look at Kingsisle's Terms of Use. This step is important and when you created your Wizard or Pirate, you should have noticed it.
Follow The Rules:There are many rules on Wizard101 and Pirate101. A few that have been broken by players are: Profanity and Bullying. These rules are not new, it's a new year but the rules have been in place since you created your account. I'm sure by now, you've had friends banned because they broke the rules numerous times. Don't get upset at Kingsisle if you're banned because of this reason. You should know by now that you shouldn't break Kingsisle's Rules. I want everyone reading to stay, I'm just trying to warn you.
Remember:Please don't forget the rules when you start playing. We all know Wizard101 and Pirate101 are fun (best games ever)! Remember the rules so your account isn't banned. I'm not trying to be rude to anyone, I just want you to know that I know to keep my account safe by following the rules. I don't want my account banned. I'm not perfect. I'm human, just like you. It's hard to remember sometimes, so keep this in mind. Do I want to keep my account? I'm sure if you're reading this post, the answer is YES!!

The steps listed above are easy steps to follow if you want to keep your account. You also have to stay safe on the game, so don't forget Online Safety! Thank you for reading this blog post. If you want to share anything with anyone, just comment below. Remember that I'm not trying to be rude to anyone that was banned.. I'm trying to warn anyone that might be banned and blame Kingsisle for their mistake.

Hi there!

I'm sure by now you know that I created this blog five years ago... I'm shocked I'm still blogging because there have been many times I thought I would stop blogging and it just doesn't last. Last December I decided to take a break from blogging because I didn't think I'd make it through classes if I had to make blog posts every day and I wasn't keeping up on anything. A few months after my long break that was supposed to last at least a year, I decided I just needed a break so I could catch up a little on both games. Okay... long story short... I'M BACK!!!!!!! I have to return and start making blog posts, having events, contests, updates, etc! Why? Well, I love Kingsisle's games and I don't want to give up on any of you. I know I said I was going to be gone for awhile and six months, well... considering I made a blog post every week (just about everyday) for four years, that's a very long time to me!

CAKE!

I told everyone the beginning of this year I had a special announcement and my return was one of them.. Another one is that I plan on creating a new website or at least adding new code to this site where it doesn't look like any of the updates I've had on this website! I have other amazing plans down the road, but you'll just have to wait and see what they are. :D I plan on building my website on the sidelines of making new blog posts for each game. I promise, I'm not going to change who I am or anything, I'll always remain that silly, crazy, sometimes weird Edward Lifegem you know! :D I'm going to start making new blog posts again next week, after my finals! I might not have as many blog posts at first since I plan on building that new website, but I promise each post will be a fun post or maybe an event. This Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall (okay the Seasons will go on and on), will be a lot of fun! Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem's 5th Birthday is going to be a special refresh of this site and I hope you all stick around and see how it plays out. I want you to know that this blog wouldn't be here without you and I appreciate each and everyone of you for your support!

Ahoy Pirates!

By now, you should know that I'm back and will be making many new blog posts! I also wanted you to know that the Kingsisle Community Team accepted my Pirate101 fansite application so I'm an official Pirate101 site again. I really want to thank Tom, Leala and whoever else was behind me becoming a fansite again! I also want to thank all of you for your support over the many years I've been making not only Pirate101 posts, but also Wizard101 posts. I'm greatful and can't wait to make so many blog posts about the game. I think it's time for me to show everyone that there's a lot of amazing things to do on Pirate101 and we don't need a new world right away to make us play the game! One thing I'm looking forward to is leveling Edward Cringle again.. :D

I'm sure by now you would think I'd be in Marleybone or even Aquila... The truth is, I didn't really level my character as much as I wanted to because I kept thinking I didn't have time when I did. I am going to continue my Swashbuckler blog posts as I did in the past! Okay... lets talk about what I did today and start out on a fresh start.. Today I had to find Captain Blood's treasure in the spooky Motherload Mine. There was an explosion, a fight with Deacon and at long last Captain Blood's treasure and hopefully the next piece of the Map to El Dorado! :D

Had to remove some rocks blocking the way to Captain Blood's treasure.

Deacon thought I was too weak to defeat him... I don't think so!

After I was done, had to look through Captain Blood's treasure for the piece of El Dorado Map!

The fight with Deacon wasn't hard since I had help from a Witchdoctor minion from the Crowns Shop. My past experiences were not as easy so I say you have friends or a minion from the Crowns Shop to help you win the fight since armada soldiers do reappear and get in the way to protect Deacon. After the fight, we found the missing piece of an El Dorado map and one of my parents were actually in El Dorado with a group of seven pirates, a few of them being Catbeard and Egg Foo Young have been to El Dorado and might have the pieces of the Map. I finally made it to Mooshu today which was a lot of fun since I have been Cool Ranch for about a year! I'm going to make regular posts about my Swashbuckler every week (as much as I can), so I hope you stick around for this new adventure! :D Thank you for reading!

My new ship! :D

Hello Wizards!

It's been a long time since I made a post about one of my character's questing on the game. A few of you know that I have two accounts, and haven't mentioned my second account wizards in a few years. A month ago, I decided I wanted to level my wizards on my second account again (two wizards being Death wizards). I have one that's level 60, but I decided to level my level 45 Death Wizard, Edward, since he didn't make it through the end of Dragonspyre yet. I leveled him through with help from one of my main account's wizards, Edward Firegem. Today I had a chance to fight Malistaire for the 100th time and first time since early 2012! :D

Always love casting Fire Dragon!

I think Malistaire loves taking selfies! :D

Ouch..

Death Visits The Former Death School Teacher

Efreet: "You know you're not going to win, right?"

Malistaire was difficult, level 100+ wizards with all of the best gear, beware of this boss! Nah, I'm kidding! :D It was easy since I had my fire wizard to help me, I actually hit a few times with the dragons before you entered the final part of this dungeon. You have to defeat all of the enemies and finish the two battles around the same time which made me worry I wouldn't be able to, but I did! :D I actually was lost a few times when I first started questing through, but remembered where I was supposed to go. I was having a lot of fun taking screenshots and then finally defeating Malistaire.. You would think by now he should know we were going to defeat him. I bet he's been defeated at least 30 million times. He doesn't give up (for now), so I guess that counts! That's it for today's adventure! Thank you all for reading. Until next time, Stay safe in the Spiral!

Ahoy Pirates,

I hope you're having a great Wednesday. Everyone reading should be getting out of class for Summer and playing Pirate101 right? If not, you'll make it through, I promise! When you do get out of class, I think we need to have an event or two on the game.. I might have one this weekend for all of the pirates out of class already, I'll release more details about that soon. In the mean time, I'm going to make new blog posts for you to read such as my posts about my swashbuckler's adventures through Pirate101's Mooshu. :D

Last week, I made a post about finally making it through the end of Cool Ranch by fighting Deacon and finally finding Captain Blood's treasure and his piece of the Map to El Dorado.. You know, the Island made of Gold! :O I had to travel to Mooshu because I found out that several other pirates around the Spiral had a piece of the map to El Dorado. Avery was going to go to Catbeard and see if he could get a piece from him and I had to travel to Mooshu to try to find Egg Foo Yung, another pirate that had a piece of the map.

I had to sail to Hamamitsu Garden, Mooshu to see if I could find Egg Foo Yung but didn't have any luck finding him there. I found out that Egg Foo Yung was a prisoner. Zhu Ro said he would help me if I help him get a Statue from a shipwreck and then present the statue to Sosei Wearu so he could give him a permit to sale noodles... :P Zhu Ro sent me to Shiro Kujo since he might be able to help me see Egg Foo Yung since he works for the Yakooza. Shiro Kujo wanted me to steal the Emperor's Gold from Marleybone Ships. The ships were not difficult to sink, especially since I bought new ship equipment at the Hamamitsu Docks! :D After I was done sinking the ships he told me he would help transport me to the Lair of the Yakooza in Khotan Skyway so I could ask for access to speak to Yung from the Yakooza leader. That's where I'm going to end my blog post today.. :D It was getting to the good part.. Are you enjoying posts like the ones I've been making? Make sure to click on one of the reactions below so I know you still like reading posts like this one here! Thank you again for reading. Oh and before I forget... I have a contest where I'm giving away a ton of crowns, make sure to enter that one! I'm also going to announce a Scrip/NXP Farming Party soon which will also have Crowns! I hope you all also check that post out (when it's released). That's it for this post.. Until next time, I hope to see you around the skyways!

Ahoy Pirates!

I'm planning on having an NXP & Scrip farming event this weekend on Pirate101! I think it's time to show Pirate101 that we still care about the game even if there hasn't been a world release yet. There's no reason to be bored of the game, there's a lot to do on the game such as NXP & Scrip Parties! :) I think it's time to talk about the details of this event.

When & Where do we Meet:

Saturday, May 23rd, 2015 at 3:00 P.M. CST ( this weekend)!

Meet in Avery's Court in One Eyed Jack Realm. Add my Witchdoctor, Edward or Autumn Walker, by the Life Fountain in Avery's Court. Please be there before 3:00 P.M. CST this Saturday! I'll remind everyone on my Twitter, @AroundTheSpiral

At 3:00 P.M. CST we'll teleport to Westminister Skyway in Marleybone by the Torrents and start the NXP & Scrip Party! Remember, if you have any questions.. just ask me in the comments below!

Credit goes to my friend, Chrissy The Blesser! Thank you for the amazing photo! She's one of my best friends and you should follow Chrissy on Twitter! @ChrissyzTweet

The Afterparty and Giveaways:

After farming, if anyone is interested, we will then port to my Witchdoctor's House and have some PVP and of course visiting time. I also plan on having Trivia and a Scavenger on my blog (read below for more information). Trivia will be easy, but there will only be a few questions since I'm saving the best for last... :D

Scavenger Hunt Contest

- During the afterparty of the NXP & Scrip Farming Event (thinking an hour or two after farming ships), I'm going to have a scavenger hunt on my blog. I will let you know what items to find at the event. The items will be found within pages and possibly blog posts (only the posts on the first page, which means you don't have to click older posts to find them). After you find the items, I want you to email me what you found and everyone that does will be entered in a draw to win 10,000 Crowns, 5,000 Crowns or 2,500 Crowns which means there will be three winners!

edwardfrostgem@gmail.com

I hope I see you at the event on Saturday! This will be a lot of fun and I hope as many of you show up as possible. Lets also show Kingsisle how much me love the game and support them. :D Pirate101 is an amazing game and deserves a lot of attention. Will you be there? Click on the smiley reaction below if you are going to attend. Please RT and Share my post so everyone knows! :D I hope to see you there.

Hello Wizards,

You need to know that one of the best bloggers, wizard and pirate in the spiral, Autumn Dreamwalker, is back in the community again! She's not blogging as of yet, but I'm glad she's back and interacting with the community again. Many of you know her from her events, contests and guides that she had on her Secrets of the Spiral website! Make sure to give Autumn a follow on Twitter at @ADreamwalker101. Today I had a chance to level with her again through Khrysalis. :D

If you follow my website's Twitter account, you know that I've been leveling my ice wizard with Autumn's ice wizard, Autumn Winterbreeze and her myth wizard, Autumn Myth. We've leveled two times every time we've leveled on the game and have only had three or four days to level. I think we've done great so far, considering we had to run into many spiders and bats (like above). I know Autumn doesn't like this area, but I think this might be one of the most amazing areas in the game! I love taking pictures of this area everytime we go through it. :P We're already levels 96-97 and we haven't had trouble through many of the fights. This proves ice & myth wizards are also tough and we're just an amazing team. :D

Today we leveled as far and as much as we could to get our shadow magic! The bosses were not nearly as difficult because we worked as a team and had amazing guides (thank you Katherine Light for your amazing guides on W101 Central)! Please also follow @WizKathLight for her amazing guides and 10 followers away from 2,000 on Twitter :D. I had a lot of fun leveling with Autumn today and can't wait to level next time. I believe the next time we get through leveling, we should have our level 98 pets! The second time we level in the future, we'll make it to level 100! :D I think we're doing great especially since we didn't have much time during classes to level. I hope you all enjoyed reading, and by the way.. We're the Dark Ones(Once Upon a Time) because we actually earned our Shadow Magic! I'm just kidding..! Well that's it for today. Thank you for reading and until next time, I'll see you around the spiral. Have a safe Memorial Day Weekend. :)

First spell casted as a Dark One :O I thought I had an image casting a shadow spell! This works... right?

Hi there,

I'm making this blog post today to thank you for all of your support you have shown me over the past few days, months and/or years! I made a tweet on Twitter earlier, but felt like making a blog post because it wouldn't let me type enough words to show you how thankful I am for each and everyone of you. I really do enjoy making blog posts about the games and sharing them with you. I'm not getting paid for this and guess what... I don't care! I love making blog posts for each and everyone of you and will continue to do so the entire year, next year, and however far the games take me. I'm not obsessed with the amount of views or members I have on my site, but I am thankful because it means you do like reading my posts. I don't know everyone who actually reads my blog posts and sometimes it makes me worry because I don't get to thank you for all of your support. I'm going to thank everyone now who has helped me so much the past five years through the future for your support. I would also like to thank Kingsisle again for accepting my fansite applications two times over a period of three years. I remember the first time I was accepted, I felt like a new fansite owner up until....well, today! :P I'm not kidding, I don't feel like I'm a fansite owner, I still feel like I have a blog that I own and make posts about amazing games for amazing people! :) Thank you for reading my blog posts, attending events, following, sharing or whatever you do for this blog. You're all amazing and I'm thankful I have amazing readers that keep up with this blog.

Hello Wizards!

I've been leveling my death wizard, Edward, a lot more than any other wizard on the game. You wouldn't believe how much time I spent the past three days finishing Celestia with help from my Fire and Ice wizards. I am not good at staying on long anymore because I get headaches when I'm on the game too much. I had a lot of fun leveling my death wizard through Celestia, and today I got to finish Celestia by questing through the Trial of the Spears dungeon!

I've had trouble questing through this dungeon in the past, but today I didn't have as much trouble as I did on any of my other wizards since I had a level 97 (technically 100 ;P) helping me level! :D The puzzles in the beginning of the dungeon were easy to solve, but I had a little bit of difficulty on the first boss of the dungeon, Astreaus. Astreaus has a cheat where he can cast a -90 tower shield on himself. I had trouble finding my shadow magic spell on my ice wizard and it took awhile to actually defeat him! I finally found all of the right spells, blades and traps and took the hit and the hit did about 59,000.. Which was an OVERKILL since he had around 7,000 health! I knew I wouldn't die because the death and ice schools are awesome like that! Wait... is death already dead???

This spell is one of the best spells in the Spiral!

OVERKILL! :D

The next area was in my opinon the best area in the entire dungeon! I had to defeat eight different enemies in four different fights so I could fight the boss, Ptolemus. Ptolemus is a moon boss and an easier boss to defeat. He cheated by casting a -90 tower shield, but would remove it after you put blades on. :D He kept attacking my death wizard and we couldn't cast any traps on him so it took a little longer to defeat him. I'm glad he didn't leave the tower shield on or I would have never made it through this part even as a level 97. This boss would win and I'd never make it to the next boss... KIDDING!

I love this area, whoever designed this area did an amazing job!

The enemies we had to defeat to make it to Ptolemus

Ended up casting Mammoth of Ptolemus.. Ouch! Oh, and be careful with single attacks, he'll cast a tower shield if you cast them. Thankfully they can be removed if you cast any sort of blade! :D

After I defeated Ptolemus, there was one more boss... The Final Boss.. Mithraya! This boss cast a lot of smokescreens that would make you fizzle if you didn't put a blade and a trap on the boss. If you did, you wouldn't have to deal with all of her smokescreens. :) This boss was pretty easy to me, because I had my ice wizard helping. If you're not sure if a boss cheats or not, just look the bosses name up on Central, Duelist101 or any other site that may have dungeon guides. It's always helpful and will most likely prevent you from repeating it if you didn't know about any cheat at first.. :D That's my advice for the day! :P With that advice, I'm going to end this post with the rest of my screenshots. Thank you for reading and until next time, I'll see you around the spiral!

Hello Wizards!

Gamestop is now selling the Aztecan Builder's Bundle for $39! Kingsisle released a video of it today and it has a lot of information about this awesome bundle. I'm going to link you to their video and a video that Olivia StormCloud made a few days ago. :D If you would like more information about this bundle from the official Wizard101 website, click HERE.

Ahoy Pirates!

It's been about a week since I made a new Pirate101 blog post! I promise I haven't forgot about Pirate101 and I still love the game. :D I wanted to make a post about one of my swashbuckler's quest for about a week. I'm happy to announce I'm finally going to make that post today! :P

My last blog post was a lead in to this post so I'm going to discuss what happened on my last post. I haven't been in Mooshu long, and my last post was about doing my first quest to find Egg Foo Yung to find the other piece of the El Dorado map. I found out Egg was taken prisoner by the Yakooza. I was sent to Shiro Kujo, part of the Yakooza, and he wanted help with a few things before he would help me talk to Egg. I had to steal gold from the Emperor of Mooshu by sinking Marleybone ships. After helping Shiro, he sent me to the Lair of the Yakooza to speak to the leader of the Yakooza. I ended my last post with that. I had to speak to the Yakooza leader to see if I could speak to Egg Foo Yung to see if he had the other piece of the map to El Dorado.

After arriving in the Yakooza lair, the leader of the Yakooza, Oyabun Shingen, said he wouldn't let me speak to Egg Foo Yung unless I help the Yakooza. I also found out that the Yakooza were not bad and only meant to help the poor. The leader sent me to Yagiziwa Village to talk to Kennosuke and Kennosuke then sent me to Hidenari to talk about how to end the unfair taxes against villagers by defeating the Governor Nakamura. I almost forgot that it was a dungeon, so I wasn't worried since I thought I only had to defeat a boss.. I thought that until I found the gates!

This dungeon, Governor's Terrace, was not an easy dungeon to solo. I really do enjoy posts where I can say that I defeat every enemy with no problem, but this time wasn't the case. Long story short.. I was defeated... KIDDING! I was worried during a battle with a mob so I ended up buying a witchdoctor minion from the crowns shop so I knew I would make it through the dungeon. There were three or four mobs you had to fight and the health ranged from 1300-1900 health. The minions in the crowns shop are very useful and I love that you don't have to worry about the minions using the wrong attacks because after you buy them you get to use the attacks you want from them! You've heard it many times from me, but I'll say it again... The minions on Pirate101 are AWESOME!

The last fight was not much easier but I didn't need to buy a crowns shop minion since I had the right companions for the fight. I didn't have to defeat Governor Nakamura, only a few of his henchmen. After I defeated his henchmen, he surdered and I got to return all of the gold that he took from the villagers! I think that returning the gold was the most exciting part of it, but I had to return the gold to many villagers around the village. That governor made a huge mistake, I feel bad for the sheep above.. who would hurt this little sheep? Well.. I'm glad they have their gold again! :P That's it for today! Thank you all for reading my blog posts, it really does mean a lot to me. Until my next post, I'll see you around the skyways!

Ahoy Pirates!

There have been many pirates and wizards wondering if Book 15 will ever be released.. What is Book 15? It's supposed to be the next world update and continuing storyline after Aquila for Pirate101. I made a blog post a few months ago over this subject, but decided to make another post with a few reasons why Pirate101 is going to release it sooner or later.

Reason #1: Kingsisle Live

We've enjoy many Kingsisle Live episodes over the past few months! They have been through many Wizard101 Updates, but Pirate101 is getting less time than it does when there are updates on the game. Kingsisle Live is about both games, Wizard101 and Pirate101, not just Wizard101. The reason I think Kingsisle Live is an important reason Kingsisle will finally release Book 15 on Pirate101 is because they'll have more time to also talk about Pirate101 and get more players to play!

Reason #2: Continuing Memberships
*the offer below has ended*

Have you noticed that Pirate101 is asking Pirates to buy new memberships that last anywhere from one month to twelve months? This is proof that Pirate101 is not giving up. If they were giving up, they wouldn't be asking people to buy memberships that last a year. I have a feeling there will be a world update within this year. We have to stick by their side!

Reason #3: Blind Mew's Message

Blind Mew, a Pirate101 Developer, posted a message about Book 15 on the Pirate101 Message Boards last April. Blind Mew said that Book 15 is in development but they need enough Bandwidth to release the content. Pirate101 is somewhat new and needs time to release the content. If we're not getting it now, they'll at least have more time to test it out before they release it to us so we can test it out ourselves. We shouldn't worry that Kingsisle gave up on us. :) There are many other reasons, but I'm positive we'll see something sooner or later. :D

Hello Wizards!

I'm sure most of you know that I've been leveling my ice wizard, Edward Wintergem, with Autumn Dreamwalker's ice & myth wizards through Khrsyalis. We actually made it to Khrsyalis Part 2 on my last post after earning shadow magic, and part of this area was easier to quest through. :D

It's not easy to solo through everything on the game, but it's a lot of fun to have someone else to talk to and quest with. This really does help if you're worried you will be defeated by a boss or in an important dungeon. There are many mobs and bosses you have to defeat in Khrysalis Part 2, but they're not as hard as long as you have someone to help you with your quest. :) If you are having trouble, I know Team Up and most recent update to the game, Join A Team, will help wizards that are having trouble in the game. We didn't have any trouble defeating bosses or the mobs, but nearly had trouble with a dungeon in Crescent Beach. This dungeon required you to summon The Great Beast so you could travel across Starfall Sea, but you had to defeat enemies in between to make sure you make it to the next area.

This dungeon gives a lot of XP which means you might level if you're at least three or four bars away from leveling. Even though this dungeon gave a lot of XP, it wasn't as easy as you think it would be. There were three fights during this dungeon: The First was death enemies with about 3,000 health, the Second Battle was myth enemies with 4,500 health, and the Third Fight had storm enemies with 14,600+ health! The first and second fight was not as hard, but you should always be careful when fighting myth since they cast Earthquakes. The Third fight with the storm enemies were crazy since they were all bosses... The first two fights were easy since you didn't have to fight all four enemies.. One Wizard can join the first two fights while the others disappear, and then the other wizards can join. Be careful after the fight because the enemeis that disappeared will reappear and might drag you in, but you don't have to defeat them. The third fight required you to fight all four Storm Bosses so don't send one wizard in during this third battle.

The Storm bosses were not easy to fight since they can cast storm lord to stun you, and a storm dragon to give you a smoke screen. I think this battle is a battle where a healer, tank, and at least two wizards that can hit is required. I was actually a tank and I cast a frost giants and snow angels quite a few times, Autumn's Myth Wizard also hit the enemies with her humongofrogs and when the bosses were close to being defeated, Basilisk. She also had her ice wizard casting heals when our wizards were down on health since we were the ones taunting the bosses. :D Autumn had two accounts during this dungeon, so that's pretty awesome that she was able to do everything! :) This dungeon was pretty difficult at the end, but we were able to make it through and our wizards eventually leveled to 100 after we made it to our destination, Ruined Alcazar. I was going to make this a short update post, but decided to talk a little more about how we're doing on the game. :D Thank you all for reading! Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope you're having an awesome weekend so far, I know I am! I've had more time to level and catch up on a few things. I've been trying to level a few nautical levels because I'm behind from where I'm supposed to be at this point in the game. I'm also trying to buy gold so I can buy a better ship and equipment in Mooshu... You'll know why I really need to raise my nautical level and buy that new ship after this blog post.. Before I tell you where I've been questing recently, I'm going to talk a little about the last blog post I published. :)

On my last post, I found out I had to help the Yakooza by defeating a governor that had unfair taxes on villagers in Yagiziwa Village, Mooshu. After I defeated Governor Nakamura, I returned all of the gold from the unfair taxes to the villagers. After returning the gold, I sailed back to the Yakooza Lair to tell the leader of the Yakooza the good news. Oyabun Shingen, the leader of the Yakooza, told me that I couldn't talk to Egg Foo Yung until I was done helping them with the few things they needed. Oyabun told me he needed me to sail to Sujimura Village and talk to one of his henchmen to find out how to deal with one of the Yakooza's enemies, the powerful warlord, General Tso.

After talking to the Yakooza leader, I had to sail to Sujimura Village to find one of Oyabun's henchmen, Yuji. Once I arrived, Yuji told me that General Tso's army takes rice from the villagers and he needs help sinking General Tso's Army ships in order to get the rice back so the villagers don't starve. Today's quest required me to find, sink and collect four Wild Rice supplies from Tso Warships in the Khoton Skyway. Remember what I mentioned above about my nautical level and not enough gold for a new ship? Well, this area wasn't a nice area to be in that position but I found a way around that issue. :D

I had to sink four or more of these ships if I didn't collect the Wild Rice from the Tso Warships. I had to sink about six of these ships since I didn't collect the rice a few times. Sinking the first three were pretty easy since I found a spot where the other ships in the images below couldn't get to me. I decided to sail somewhere else and attack another ship in a different area and other ships ended up casting attacks too. Fighting more than one ship means your ships health will decrease and you'll have to fight the enemies on their pirate ships. If you don't want to fight the enemies with full health, try to lower their ships health as low as possible and that will also lower the enemies health on the ship so you don't have to fight them with their full health. I promise you'll have your pirate and companions will have full health if you do end up doing this. :) You can do this with any other ship you're trying to sink and they end up pulling you in. I think that little trick made collecting the wild rice a lot easier. Well.. that's all I have today! We still have a few more things to do for the Yakooza.. I hope you stick around to see what they are. Until then, I'll see you around the skyways!
