Welcome to Khrysalis (Take 2!)

     Hello again wizards! I am back to inform you all about the new test realm update notes for April 2014. I am very excited for Khrysalis part 2 because we finally get to defeat Morganthe and a new nemesis is introduced. Let's get right into it! First off, the level cap has been increased from level 95 to level 100 and wizards will earn the title "Exalted" at level 100. Along with having a cool new name, we get new school pets at level 98. You must have completed your level 78 pet quest to gain these pets. Here is a picture of the new pets:

Along with these pets, wizards can also learn new level 98 "Shift" spells. These spells are moon school polymorphs that let your wizard preform a creatures natural attack for one round, then reverts your wizard to it's natural state. More information can be found in the update notes which I will link at the end of this post. Here is a picture of these new shift spells:

Next up on the list is new level 97 Global Spells. Yes, you heard me right, NEW Global Spells. I was surprised when I saw that they were bringing a new flavor to something I am sure most wizards haven't used in quite sometime. These spells have armor piercing and critical built in, but they cost four pips to cast. Different schools get different amounts of critical and pierce though, more information can be found at the bottom of this post. Here is a picture of the new Global Spells:

Welcome to Khrysalis!

     Hello everyone! If you didn't know, Khrysalis was released into the live realm about a week ago. Khrysalis was not in the test realm for too long (which actually surprised me.) Kingsisle has decided to split the Morganthe finale into two parts since it will be so "epic." To be able to get into Khrysalis, you must be level 90 and have completed Azteca. Along with Khrysalis the level cap increased from 90 to 95 (I suspect it will be increasing to 100 when part two arrives.)


     There is new Shadow Magic available for wizards to achieve. To learn shadow magic you must complete the quest "Touching Shadow" and have defeated Sofia Darkside in the Moon Cliffs (Eclipse Tower to be exact.) Shadow Magic enhances your wizards spells while it is in effect. Along with Shadow Magic, wizards can now achieve "Shadow Pips", needed to cast Shadow Magic. But be careful young wizards, Shadow Magic runs the risk of having backlash. When you cast Shadow Magic, an aura appears around your wizard and tells you the percent of backlash damage you will take when the affects of the spell is over. The lower the percent, the lower the damage you take.


   
     Along with these updates, they have also increased the gold cap for wizards. Wizards who are under level 80 can have a max gold of 300,000. Wizards who are level 80-90 can have a max gold of 350,000. And wizards who are level 91 and up, can have a max gold of 375,000. Time for some farming! I must also mention Castle Tours.



     Castle Tours is a "home sharing" database that allows you to put your home up for viewing to others so that they can rate them. If you find anything inappropriate in the house you are viewing, you can report the house using the report feature in the friends menu. Time to get decorating! This is all I am going to cover in this blog post. If you would like to read the update notes for Khrysalis in detail, please click here. Hope you enjoyed the post!-

A Come Back?

     I have recently been feeling so bad that I have not been posting on my blog as often I would like to. I am hoping that this post opens up my blog again with posts to follow it. I hope you continue to keep an eye out for any new and recent posts on here. One of the reasons that I have not posted on here in almost 2 years, is that I am enjoying making Youtube videos. You can check those out here. Hoping to see you all again soon!-

One in a Million

     Hello everyone, today I will be talking to you about the one in a million badge that was just recently added to Wizard101 with the release of Avalon. I first have to thank VERY much, Kelsey Fireheart and Diana Wildheart. I could not have done it without you guys! To get this new badge, you have to hit a boss with an attack card. The damage you deal HAS to be 1,000,000 in order to obtain this badge. My prey of choice was Melweena Smite in Firecat Alley. My spell of choice was Woolly Mammoth. This proves that when working together, wizards are impossible to stop! Here are some pictures of what really went down in Melweenas Tower.

The first Mammoth that failed because we used our converts wrong so we had to do it again

Now that's more like it!

And here is the badge

Thanks for reading!-

Welcome to Avalon!

Hello once again young wizards! I have some exciting new about the new world of Avalon! The puzzle has been completed (since Monday) and the very same day, Avalon was released in the test realm. Avalon is a main quest line world. With the new expansion of Avalon comes some new spells, pets, mounts, gear and other awesome stuff. There are 28 new spells (4 per school). The level cap has also been raised from 70 to 80 along with this Avalon update. There are also new level 78 pets! The pets are as follows:

Ice: Mammoth
Fire: Efreet
Storm: Triton
Balance: Chimera
Life: Gnome
Myth: Basilisk
Death: Skeletal Drake

These new pets are super cute! I just hope the stats for them are better than the stats for the level 58/48 school pets. For full details about the new world please go to  https://www.wizard101.com/game/update-notes/testrealm


Thanks for reading!-

Meet Sean HawkBlood

     Hello everyone! I am back from a short break. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years! I have been busy between leveling my balance wizard, crafting, and setting my new Youtube channel. I plan to upload my first video right after I get done with this post. And yes, you will hear my (horrible) voice. If you want to check out the channel, here is the link Sean RedHammer's Youtube Channel.

     I have been wanting to introduce you all to my balance wizard named Sean HawkBlood, so I figured now would be a perfect time. He is balance and he is currently level 64. I know when most people introduce a new character, they post a picture of them too, but I am going the traditional route and have decided not to. See you in the spiral!-
