My Wizard101 Memories!

Hello Wizards,

I've been thinking about how much I've changed since creating my first wizard on July 4th, 2009. I can't believe how much I've change since 2009. I still can't believe soon I can finally tell everyone I've been playing Wizard101 for five years. I don't know how much hours I've played on Wizard101 but I know I've enjoyed every single hour I've been on the game. Don't worry, this isn't my last post and I'm not quitting the game, I just like thinking about how much the game has change and how much it's change me.

As you know, I've been playing the game since 2009 and I've been through a lot of test realms and events. I remember when Wizard101 had a contest on the test realm where everyone could redeem a code to win a prize for the live realm. I also remember my first test realm with mounts.. Wow, mounts have change the game so much. I'm happy Kingsisle added mounts because if we didn't have them, we'd have to run around on our feet. Wait what? Run around without mounts?! Yes there was a time where we had to do that :P The first time I logged onto the test realm, we had well over 100,000 crowns (could have been 200,000) to spend on mounts and I remember going to Olde Town and racing our mounts with other wizards. The first mounts to be released was horses, lions, brooms and dragons. Everyone on the test realm had a mount and we all enjoyed racing them around. :) No, I didn't win the race, but I still had fun. :D I met tons of new friends in 2009 and I'm glad to say now that even though I don't get to talk to them, they are and will still be my first best friends on Wizard101. *see image above* :)

After all of the test realms in 2009 I met the community in 2010. I know many of you know that Mary and I created our blogs Pie Loving Necromancer and well... Wizard101... I know, I know, strange name but I didn't know what to name my blog! :P The Friendly Necromancer really inspired me to blog because he made blogging seem like so much fun and I thought it would be nice to create my blog to let everyone know how I was doing on the game and what's happening in the spiral. That's where my idea of Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem started. I created my life wizard in 2010 and I thought it would be a great idea to call my blog Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem after another name switch (wizard101->the life of a wizard or something like that->around the spiral with edward lifegem). Another wonderful memory I remember is going to Diary of a Wizard's Ravenwood Ball & Birthday Bash. I went to the first one and I didn't know anyone other than Mary. I was shy, but I still felt like this was the community that I would love to be friends with. During the 2nd Ravenwood Ball (see above), I met a lot of wizards since the first one and I was good friends with everyone. The 3rd one in 2012 was also awesome, I miss Fallon, Diary of a Wizard and events like these. In 2013 there wasn't a Ravenwood Ball which was crazy because I was hoping there would be one every year. It's okay that sometimes things don't happen but it doesn't mean it won't happen this year or the next. I hope Diary of a Wizard/ Fallon comes back soon. :) 

I know I didn't tell you everything that happened in the past or it would have to be every post I've made on this site. I want to tell you that every post on this blog is a great Wizard101 memory. I love making posts for this blog because one day in 20-25 years I can come back to my site and remember that I had a great time with all of you all. I'm so happy I have all of these memories even the bad ones because they make me stronger. Thank you all for everything! I just want you to know that you're all special and I'm glad I joined Wizard101 on that rainy 4th of July so I could meet all of you. :) Now... I think it's time to start making new memories. I don't hang on to the past, I remember the past because it will be part of the future one day. Thank you for reading, I hope you all have a ton of great memories too. I would also like to thank Kingsisle for making this wonderful game, Wizard101. :)

Wizard101 Character Update: Edward Lifegem

Hello Wizards!

If you haven't read by now, my life wizard Edward Lifegem made it to Azteca! Lately I've been questing him through Azteca to see if it would be easy to solo through the world on a life wizard. I don't think it's that bad soloing through this world but I do need help a few times because of a dungeons/bosses I can't defeat alone. I've noticed I've had a lot of trouble defeating myth and ice enemies. I've had trouble defeating myth enemies because of their earthquakes that get rid of all of my blades so I put feints in my deck instead. Ice enemies are also difficult because of their tower shields but I always do find a way to defeat them. It takes longer to defeat those two schools but I always finish! :)

Yesterday I knew I would have trouble defeating a myth boss and his fire minion alone so I decided to side quest since to put it off until I could defeat Ponce De Gibbon. As you know, he does cheat on the game so I knew I wouldn't be able to defeat him at all. After side questing through a few quests Brandon Owlsword ask me if I needed help on any of quests and I ask him if he could help me on the Ponce De Gibbon quest. He was nice enough to help me through this quest that I would be stuck on until I finished every side quest on the game past and future! :P Thank you so much Brandon, you have no idea how much this meant that you helped me through this quest. I do feel bad for him, he went first and Ponce kept on attacking him (see image above). He's an awesome balance wizard, thank you again! :) There are bosses that I know I'll be able to fight even though I know it'll take awhile to defeat them. I'm just happy to announce that leveling on my life wizard isn't as bad as I thought it would be soloing and it is okay to ask and accept help. Thank you for reading, I'll update you again on how I'm doing in Azteca when I can. Level 85 on my life wizard so far!! I'll see you around the spiral. :)

Meow, Meow, Meow!

Ahoy Pirates!

It's been about a week since I last leveled through my main quests on my swashbuckler, Edward Cringle. I think I've been putting him off because of all of the news that keeps happening and I love blogging about it so all of you can see what will happen in the spiral soon! Yesterday there wasn't much happening for Pirate101 so I decided to start leveling my swashbuckler on his main quest again. :D Yesterday I had to talk to a lot of people and most of the post is about different people to find out where the missing shipment was. I still had a lot of fun questing again on my swashbuckler. :)

The last time I quest on my swashbuckler I had to help Gilbert and Sullivan find a lost shipment and in return they would help me find out where Mustang Sally is. I had to locate Mr. Rockstraw to find out what happened to their shipment and he said the shipment was stolen. Yesterday, Sullivan told me that they need the shipment because their associates were waiting for it. Sullivan told me he wanted me to deliver a note to Captain Corcoran to let him know there was a delay in the shipment. On my way to Captain Corcoran, I ran into Blind Mew. Blind Mew told me he heard noises by the storm drain (the one where I talk to Mr. Rockstraw) and he heard wooden crates being carried away from the drain. Blind Mew heard the main guy talk with a Valencian accent and Blind Mew said it sounded like horseshoes when he walked around. That means we have to look for a unicorn that stole the contraband. After I talk to Blind Mew, I went on and talk to Captain Corcoran to tell him about the shipment delay. Captain Corcoran knew that the unicorn that stole the contraband was a unicorn named Iago. Corcoran went on and said I needed to talk to Bill Bobstay in Scrimshaw to find out if he could tell me where I could find Nick Deadeye since he knows Iago. I know.. I'm telling you everything that happened so the story/quest makes a little more sense. :) Anyways, after sailing to Scrimshaw Bill told me I could find Nick Deadeye on the Scrimshaw Island. 

I had to battle Nick Deadeye since he was protecting Iago but after I defeated him he told me where to find Iago with all of the contraband. Nick told me that I could find Iago in a vortex in Port Regal called The Maelstrom of Malice. Once I found him I had to battle him as well and it wasn't hard to find him at all. I think questing yesterday was the easiest quests I've done on the game so far! I was worried this post wouldn't make sense since I really didn't do much other than talk to a lot of not so much people. :P After I collected the shipment, I traveled back to Sullivan and gave him the shipment. After I gave him the shipment I collected from Iago, he told me that he talk to Mustang Sally a few weeks before and that Sally was in Port Regal to free a prisoner from Fort Elena but she was captured and she's a prisoner now. Sullivan then said she was working with a pirate named, Catbeard (Meow, Meow, Meow). That's where I stop questing yesterday since I was busy afterwards. I can't wait to talk to Catbeard, he's actually a friend of mine. :) Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral!
