Cattails, Water Lilys, and KELP Oh my!

So, not only does the Cattail provide Water Lilys, now much like Stone Blocks providing Sandstone and pearls providing Black Pearls, Cattails also provide KELP, which is needed to make Aether.

Real 8th World WYSTERIA

Wysteria - A wistfully good time, will be a challenge to do At Level (Level 25). There are a few cheating bosses in this side world, and as such, they have given people a challenge. We are also introduced to the names of 4 other Worlds.

Future World Clues -
Weirwood - A Fairy & Goblin world (NOT Professor Greyrose's home. She's from Candy World.)
Mirage - A Cat world
Empyrea - Home of Sky-squids
Yago - Helephant home world Cluster

Anyways, back to Wysteria. Wysteria is a world comprised of 3 Zones. Each Zone is 1,000 Crowns. There is Pigswick Academy, Pegasus Place, and Tanglewood Way. If you've been watching Falling Skies, the Space Men from Falling Skies look a lot like the Green Men on Tanglewood Way. Pegasus Place also has the new Legendary Tower (Risk-Reward Structure failed), called the Tower of the Helephant.

Anyways, I've got a raffle I'm opening up on this post. To enter the raffle, just state in a comment what you like most or least about the new Test Realm update for W101. I have 2 Tier 7 and 3 Tier 5/6 Codes to give away from KIFreegames.com for this raffle. Raffle will end when Wysteria comes to the Live Realm.

Oddball Glitch...

Okay, this morning, I hatched my Forest Lord with a random Judgement pet. I got a Jade Egg, and when I moused over it, it showed Ominous Scarecrow, which means it will be a Crop Watcher pet... This hatch was supposed to result in Astral Judge with 1 'Mighty Judgement' Card at Baby.

Complete L58 Pet Defaults

Test Realm Report

I just acquired 1 'Charm of the Black Pearl' from Harek the Lean. This is a Crafted Necklace that contains the new Death Level 35 spell 'Dark Pact'.

Will have much more to report in the coming days :)

DARK PACT is much more Viable than I had originally given this Balance Blade credit for! Dark Pact can be used by a death wizard to give an ALLY the 30% boost, not just themselves. the Amulet gives a 35% balance blade boost!

B...B...BACONATOR!!!!

Okay, with the new Test Realm, we've got the Baconator Costume, a Level 55+ Crowns outfit (12,500 Crowns). On top of that, we've got a new wand called the Lifeforce Blade, a Level 55+ Crowns wand (5,000 Crowns).



Combined with my Sea Dragon, Tyson, my stats are:



All that I need to do is spend another 300 crowns to stitch it to something nice looking! Over all, 17,800 Crowns and I'll be set :D

Gardening, Pets, Power Leveling Issues, and an Email sent to KI

Well, today I made it to Journeyman Gardener (Rank 6). I got a Frozen Fly Trap (rank 6) from my Fly Trap plant, and planted it. My Happy Holidaisies became Mature and look so cute. Gardening is fun, but I'll have to have a much smaller garden when Gardening comes Live.

------------------------------------------------------

Well, the results of yesterday's hatching are in. Both Talon and I got Tempest pets. Thank you Audi for the Wraith from when the Dorm Furniture glitch was around. I truly appreciate it. It allowed us to get Temepsts. Next thing on the plan: Hatch 1 Tempest with 1 Frostcaller. Frostcaller is already Adult, so Talon is raising Tempest to be an adult. Should be 9 more games of the Maze tomorrow morning and she'll be ready.

------------------------------------------------------

Well, I tried to Power Level my life girl in the Solarium today, only to notice that KingsIsle, in an attempt to block this sort of thing from happening, has the XP limit set to the max XP for the current level of the Wizard so as to discourage this sort of activity. It happened in the Lunarium as well, so I'm sure it's not just a coincidence. Perhaps we will see what happens after tonight's maintenance.

------------------------------------------------------

Today I filed a request with KingsIsle's Contact Us system on Wizard101.com. Below is the message I sent (will post their response when I receive it in another update):

Summary: Wing Drops on High Level Bosses Update

How much longer do we have to wait? It's been 9 months, and you haven't gotten back to us with when this will be fixed. Could you please make a point of fixing this issue? Thank you

Wings on Bosses
It seems many young Wizards are diligently looking for the new Winged Mounts on the high level bosses of the Spiral.

We've just discovered that they're not dropping at a high enough rate, and we will be adjusting this rate in the future.

Until then, give the poor bosses a break and continue with your adventures in the Spiral. We will let you know when the drop rate has been reset.

December 2nd - Idiocy and Test Realm updates

Okay, we've all had issues with noobs and we all have things that irk us. Well, today, I encountered an Epic Noob, a Legendary Pyromancer who refused to stop casting blades, shields, and traps on Cuthalla, despite seeing that it made Cuthalla keep shielding. He also was swearing up a storm... I reported his foul language and when the battle was over, my friend and I changed realms.

Anyways, Talon got some great Level 58 No Trade / No Auction Celestian Stat shoes from Calypso, and she gave Logan a Starfish. That's about it for farming news today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now onto the Test Realm. Some big changes occurred on Test Realm today:
1) Unbalance has returned. See Mildred Farseer to learn the Balance Dispel.
2) Energy. Pet Energy has now become Energy. Level 1 will start with 40 Energy and gain 1 Energy every Even Level. This means at Legendary (Level 60) you will have 70 Energy. With the Beastmaster gear you have 88 Energy. It takes almost 15 hours to fill 88 energy. I think it's actually 14 hours 40 minutes.
3) Crowns Seeds are no longer all Rank 1+. You can now buy these Seeds in the Housing section of the Crowns Shop for Gold and Crowns
4) Elder Harvests don't make your other plants disappear anymore! At least, they didn't for me anyways.
5) Inspect Plant is no longer needed, as it is always active as long as you have the Gardening Interface open, and it is now MORE DETAILED.

Anyways, see you all in the Spiral later. It's late, and I'm getting tired.
