Check Out New Wizard City!

Hello Wizards!

This morning, Kingsisle added all of the new updates from the Test Realm to the Live Realm. Many of you already know about all of the updates, but today I'm mostly going to focus on Photomancy and the new Wizard City Graphics!

If you use the Z key on your keyboard, you can access a new feature called Photomancy. This awesome new feature allows you to take screenshots to the next level. If you're in a full realm and there are many people around, you have the option to hide other wizards (including your own). I took the picture above near the rainbow bridge in the Commons today during a very busy time! This feature will be such an amazing feature for events and blog posts. 

Now I never say Selfie, but today I will. The Selfie (Picture) option on Wizard101 is another part of Photomancy. You can take pictures of your character, or just NPCs, without worrying about other wizards getting in your shot. This will be such an amazing feature for blogging. We bloggers are sure Kingsisle was thinking about us when they were working on this feature! ;) The new Graphics and Photomancy are going to be very popular! I've already heard great reviews from people who were unable to access the Test Realm before. Here's to a new successful beginning.

Questing with Suri - The Broken Monolith

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful Monday. Today I decided to try out something new; record questing adventures. These are very popular on YouTube and have been done before, but I've still decided to do a quest guide with my death wizard, Suri Skullshard.

A few months ago, I did a stream where I finished up the last quests of Dragonspyre and started the first few quests here in Celestia. At the time, I didn't think I'd be making too many posts about my death wizard. I've always thought the death school was amazing, but never got through many quests because my main focus was on my fire, ice and life wizards. So, I've recently decided to talk more about my other wizards and where they are in their quests. I know this isn't a start to finish walkthrough, but I'm going to record questing videos and post those videos on my website for memories! 

So now that I've talked about what my plans are. Let's talk a bit about the video below! Today, I started questing in the Districts of the Stars in Celestia. I had to defeat some Piscean Guards to collect pieces of a Broken Monolith so I could learn more about the Celestial Schools of Magic - Sun, Moon, and Star. This is a Part One of the Districts of the Stars questing:

My Nephews Play Wizard101 For The First Time (Reaction)

Hi there!

Today, I had my nephews try playing Wizard101. The Test Realm is expected to be released sometime this month, and with this new update comes amazingly new graphics. Today I wanted to show my nephews the new graphics + a few other awesome things that the game has to offer.

I logged into my Wizard101 account and showed them the different schools and trees. Their favorite schools/trees were the fire, death & storm! So I let them run around on my characters to get a feel of how Wizard101 works. We defeated Trolls, Cyclops and Rotting Fodders. They loved the mounts, pets, graphics, and really paid a lot more attention to things that I usually don't pay attention to when I play the game! It was awesome to see their reactions to the game. So what exactly does my 5-year old nephew think about Wizard101? Well. Listen to the 13 second video below.

So, I'd say my nephew gives the game an A+! Although they're still too young to play, I will certainly create them an account in a few years. They always ask me when they can have an account. I may end up creating it earlier than expected. Who knows?! For now, I'll show them how everything works. I have to say that I also give Kingsisle an A+ on an amazing game! Thank you KI for creating such an amazing game that I can share with my nephews and in a few years (or less), I can help them quest. And thank you all for reading. Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.

What Was Wizard101 Like Back In The Olden Days? (Castles)

Hello Wizards!

Welcome to another installment of "What Was Wizard101.." yeah you get it! On this post, I wanted to discuss something that we all love in Wizard101... our Castles! Castles these days are used for decorating and dueling parties. However, we didn't always have a dueling circles & many other awesome things in our homes. Today I'm going to talk about what castles/homes were like before the start of this decade.

I remember buying my first castle, the Wooded Cottage. I had to farm Kraken quite a bit in order to get gold for both the castle and the decorations used in the castle. At the time, I thought I was one of the best wizards in the game because I had a castle! I remember inviting the friends that I had over to see my castle/decorations. I also got to see the homes of my friends. My friends were a higher level than I was, so were able to buy houses that were also sold for gold from the other worlds.

Wizard City

Wooded Cottage - 8,000 Gold

Royal Playhouse - 15,000 Gold

Krokotopia

Oasis Camp - 10,000 Gold

Desert Villa - 20,000 Gold

Marleybone

Metropolitan Manor - 12,000 Gold

Royal Estate - 30,000 Gold

Mooshu

Tranquil Cottage - 15,000 Gold

Imperial Palace - 40,000 Gold

Dragonspyre

Grand Citadel - 20,000 Gold

Grand Fortress - 50,000 Gold

As I said earlier in the post, we were unable to duel each other, but it was still a lot of fun to hang out with friends and talk about how awesome it would be if we had mounts. Okay, we didn't do that, but it still would have been amazing to have them! Wait, that has nothing to do with housing.. or maybe it does? I guess we'll just have to wait for another post for that! What a time this was before we had Bundles, Gauntlets, Customizable Items, Roaming Mounts, etc. etc. Kingsisle has certainly did a great job improving the game. Anyway, I should get going! Thank you all so much for reading. Until next time I'll see you around the spiral.

 Do you remember your first house? If so, which house was it? Comment Below! 

Stay tuned for a somewhat part two of this post. Hmm, I wonder what the topic of this next post will be?
