Long Time, No Blog

Hey there.
I know I haven't been writing much by oh.. A MONTH but that's before i got inspired to write more :)
And i mean at the nick of time.
FINALS ARE NEXT WEEK!
But my membership is officially over so I can concentrate a little better.
I know its a very sad thing indeed, BUT I WILL RENEW IT!
That is, just before the new world comes in: Grizzlehelm
I mean i don't want to waste any time.
And well i still haven't finish Dragonspyre so that could also be a problem.
Not to mention that I'm going on vacation over the summer for two weeks...

Well let's look on the bright side.
I saw Sean Emeraldweaver the other day at the Spiral Door in Wizard City.
Man i got to tell you, it was a nice chat.
And although I'm not a complete blogger but it's nice to see some one who is ;)

And looking on the bright-side of things:
I can finally get all the housing items that i keep reading about in The Friendly Necromancer :D
Yup
so i still got a lot of work to do before i can go back to Dragonspyre and complete that to go to Grizzlehelm.
Unless i don't necessarily have to pass Dragonspyre to go there.
But who knows :)

Oh and by the way: I'm still learning how to use all the nick knacks from Blogger so I'm using links ;)

So all-in-all I will continue to blog while i have the time
That i hope to accomplish :)

Happy Adventuring

Missing PicturesGood news is that your picture is not completely missing. It would appear that due to the application of some faulty magical paint during construction, your wall hanging was teleported into the walls of your new home! We are working around the clock scheduling construction workers in as soon as possible to get all of our new home buyer’s walls fixed with the correct paint. In the meantime, I would suggest not hanging any more paintings/wall hangings. We will post on the message boards and the Ravenwood news when this is fixed!

Castles & Lands Now Available!Housing in Wizard101 is called "Castles & Lands". All players start out with a dorm room that they can immediately decorate. Upgraded housing can be purchased using in-game gold from vendors in each of the worlds. Players must be level 10 to purchase Castles & Lands. Players can teleport to their own house using the "Go Home" button, or over to a friend’s house via their Friends List. Look for the friendly turtles to start you on your way, but first Simeon in Ravenwood has a quest for players over level 15! Once you've received a housing deed, you can move out of your dorm room and into a more luxurious Castle on a floating Island of your own! You can own up the three Houses plus your Dorm, and select your new house and select it just like anything else in your backpack. When you click the "Go Home" icon, you will appear at your new home. You can always teleport back to the hub of the world you're currently exploring, or use the World Gate on your Island. If you'd like to move between homes or even return to your dorm room, just use your backpack to select the home of your choice. When you are on your private Island, you can return to your Dorm Room by pressing the "Go Home" button. For more information, on this and other updates, please read our May Notes.

Happy Adventuring ;D

Mercy For Mercenary

2009-05-02T17:32:00.000-05:00

We it was another typically day in Mooshu when i was traveling and i noticed some who needed my assistance.

She asked if I could bring back her golden medallion from some mercenays

"mercenarys?" i though and when i put on my quest tracker, it pointed me to these horsemen.

thus i began to fight them!

Unfortunately i was forced to bring out my CENTAUR!

Now, here are the steps on eliminating pesky mercanerys:

STEP ONE-FIND THEM

STEP TWO- SUMMON CENTAUR!

STEP THREE- WATCH AS ENEMY FALLS TO THEIR DOOM

after doing that for about six enemies i still didn't get it but it was still a lot of fun :D

so here's to those wizards that need to massacre enemies for quests xD

Homumculus: Rank 8

2009-04-30T21:31:00.000-05:00

so today on wizard101

i went with my friend wolf to dragonspyre [i ported]

he is level 46 and his primary school is fire.

i fought alongside him [i am level 36 primary school life]

so we ported to fight giant homunculus his minion, a wandering fire soul

they were both rank 8 so it was tough but we killed him three times

so after many mistakes and not getting what where were going for...we managed to kill him three times in a row. pausing to catch wisps of life nearby.

so that was the end of it

and i did get some pretty good stuff :D

i really hope i can cath up to him on his level but i need to finish quests so yeah

thats work....

Firsts Times Are the Most Difficult...
