(Mega Post!!!) New World, New Mounts, New Wizard101 mini-games!

MEGA POST!!!

(Currently On Test Realm)
New World Zafaria!!! Introducing the new world released by Wizard101 which will have tons of new spells, mounts, gear, pets and thank god... A new level cap!!! You will be able to reach level 70 in this new African themed world. Now there has been sooooo much talk about Zafaria starting with the sneak peak pics leaked by Wizard101 and other sites. First there were tons of people trying to figure out the codes in the pictures. The Spirals, Stars, and Giraffes were all in apparently Morse Code as figured out by Kevin Battleblood :) Here are original leaked  pictures with their code under them.

Down In The Depths

At The Top of The World

Find Her There

It has been assumed that in the last photo, besides the epic archaeological outfit, "Her" refers to Morganthe. You also see the Shadowweavers that are from Celestia which can only mean one thing.... Morganthe has come back to the Spiral.

 In this new world of Zafaria, there are many new things such as amazing and I mean AMAZING spells. These are the spells you get after your level 58 spells which are epic. To name a few we have a giant garden gnome, a Chimera, A Volcano but to find out more you will have to watch the video which is farther down the page ;)

Now for a quick run down of the new areas in the game:

  • Baobab, the market Hub of Zafaria.
  • The Savannah, with its open grasslands and hidden dens.
  • Zamuda, the great wooden city of the Zebra Empire
  • Stone Town, capital of the Elephant Nation
  • Drum Jungle, where twisted ruins hide beneath the lush canopy
I think these are pretty cool ideas and names but check what else there is! So there have been tons of new pictures released a few days ago which I find really breath taking. I find this just a ton more amazing then Celestia and it hasn't even been released yet!!!  Here are a few pictures to keep your mind in awe ;)

Amazing entrance into the so-believed Zebra Teritory

The "Bazaar" area

Looks like an Elephant Instance

Shadowweaver Lair

Elephant Graveyard

Now, about the video... It is pure awesomeness. You see leaked new spells, cool gear, and some amazing world panoramas!


Epic right!!! Well for more info on Zafaria, check out these links provided by Wizard101 :)

MMORPG.com, Massively, IGN, Gamasutra, and our very own Wizard101.

Now good o'll Spooky Bob has left the Spiral but Harvest Hannah is back in business! Being the amazing Pilgrim she is, she also has some amazing gear she sells in the Shopping District. A Indian Hat and some amazing wands and outfits are what she offers. I still need my Indian Hat!!! Oh and don't forget the signature Turkey Hat :P  

Make sure to visit her in the Shopping District by the Fountain next to the Housing Shop.

So who remembers the Epic Bundle which gives the Massive Fantasy Palace? Well sadly it has to go bye bye :( No more Epic Bundles are being made and they are being cleared off the shelves on November 7th, 2011 so that's only 4 days away!!! If you haven't gotten it yet, make sure to stop by Toys R' Us and get it. I still need to get mine... 
_____________________________________________________

Currently there is only one mobile app for Wizard101. Now KingsIsle is releasing a new app that will be coming out very soon! Introducing Grub Guardians! Grub Guardians is a tower defense game where you just protect your tower and the cool part is that you can train your pets from this!!! Yea you heard me right. No more being bored in the Pet Pavillion because you are trying to rank up your pet... No more being out of Pet Energy and not being able to train your pets. Make sure to get this app when it comes out for Android and IOS.

Now an important message from Headmaster Ambrose:
Wizard101 Headmaster Merle AmbroseHey gang,

I wanted to drop you a quick note to warn you of a scam that has been going on recently. People have been going onto facebook and into the game and pretending to be me -- or another member of the KI staff -- and offering to give out "free items" or "crowns" in exchange for providing them your user account and password information.

We have said this before, but it bears repeating:

KingsIsle Employees will NEVER ask you for your account information or password. NEVER. (Why would we? We already have your account information!) 

If someone is asking you for your account information, that individual is likely trying to trick you and steal your account. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM!

KingsIsle staff members in the game have a badge that says, "KingsIsle Support" -- if someone is claiming to work for KingsIsle and cannot or will not show you this badge, please report them immediately.*

Some players have asked if I maintain a facebook fan profile. I do, in fact, and I post there periodically. For those of you who are interested., it can be found here:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/J-Todd-Coleman/121012684593256

ANY other profile page claiming to be me is also a fake/imposter, likely created to steal the accounts (and crowns) from unsuspecting players. My ONLY official fan page is the one listed above.

Thank you for your time and attention, for enjoying our game.

J. Todd Coleman
"Headmaster Ambrose"
Co-Creator, Wizard101
KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. 

A note from Lydia:

*Just to followup, here's a picture of the KingsIsle Support badge:  Thank you! That's a lesson we try to teach our players every day! Giving away your password is the same as giving away your Wizards forever.

For those of you who are allowed on media sites such as Facebook, the official Wizard101 Facebook page is athttp://www.facebook.com/wizard101. We post almost daily news and have weekly giveaways for amazing items in the game.

Nick made Zebrifica, I made Spizeria. Spizeria is a world I am drawing which is the main layer of Morganthe. In Spizeria, you have your world gate which takes you to the main area (Center) and when you walk to the main area, you are greeted with to pillars with Skulls on top of them and fire on the side. Watch out because there is also poison seeping through the ground in certain areas.

Next you have the Land of the Spider (bottom right) which is basically infested with Spiders from every world. You have your Marleybone spiders, Krokotopia spiders, and Dragonspyre spiders as well! It will have the final instance of that zone a tower/volcano which you must get to the top and beat the Spider Queen.

In the upper right corner we have the abandoned house of the potion witch who is the cousin of Firecat Alley's Gretta Darkkettle. Legend says this is an abandoned house but when you get a quest to go here to obtain a magical potion so you can venture through the Sea of Fire (left of main area) and the Lake of Poison (right of main area). Basically it is like the Celestian Quest to get the thing that lets you breathe under water.

Now, the Palace of Morganthe (top right). A dark and dreary place it is. When the clouds thunder you know it's not good. Once you have your potion so you can venture through the Sea of Fire which is guarded by the Fire Serpent, you are able to proceed to the Palace of Morganthe. Here you confront Morganthe. You enter her Palace which is a dungeon and then you work your way up through her many floors and make your way to the top. Finally you reach it and you confront Morganthe. This is where Morganthe will have her final stand... Or so you think ;)

Shadowrider Academy Opening Day has finally happened!!! I was so glad that we finally were able to have it since the original date was canceled due to Maintenance. I must say that besides all the chat bubbles on the screen, it was a ton of fun meeting all the young wizards who came to enroll.  Now I recorded a video on xfire but sadly it stopped recording after a few minutes. Anyways here is the video but don't pay attention to Nick in the background ;) I'm making a YouTube video which has a tour of the Academy but until then this is what I have for you ;)

I didn't know I was taking this :P

Spookasode 6 Rundown & Opening Day Info


Hey-o! So Episode (spookasode) 6 was pretty good :) We got a better turn out then our past few episodes XD We had a spooky intro music that was remixed as well as an epic background picture for the episode XD We also had an epic after party where the rule was, be in a halloween outfit or get out :P Of course we wouldn't follow through with this but it was a fun time XD The best part in my opinion was that we got it all in one recording!!! Yay for a good wi-fi connection!!!

Now we discussed the new Nightmare Packs, and the new houses and much more. We had a contest where you had to tell us the name of the main mount that was dropped from the Nightmare pack. Unfortunately everyone said the answer in the chat room a bajillion times so lucky me got to be like, "Clear chat room, clear chat room, clear chat room" a lot of times :P

So basically, the episode was pretty sweet XD We had a fun time and we hope that all you who listened in enjoyed it as much as we did XD Nick especially loved using his scary voice during the show and me trying to do a scary voice ;) Nick also brought up a irl thing about me and a Spider which I wasn't so fond about :P

Anyways, for all you viewers, thanks for listening in, and for all of you that didn't, you missed out on a spooktacular time XD You can always listen to it on our Livestream though.

Make sure to tune into Episode 7 on November 6th at 8:30pm Eastern Standard Time.
Now here was the picture we used for our spooktacular episode XD

photo credz to Nick. I never got to finish mine :P

Now for some after party photos!

Hello All.

As you probably know by know, Wizard101 was undergoing continuous maintenance last night so we were unable to have Opening Day.  Note that Opening Day has been rescheduled. The new info is as follows:
  • When: Sunday October 30th.
  • Time: 7pm Eastern Standard Time
  • Pick up: Ravenwood; Realm-Scarecrow Area-1
Everything is the same as it originally was except the date. Remember that we can only take 50 students so arrive early to reserve your spot. The Port Bus, Blaze Shadowhorn (level 1 Storm) comes occasionally during the day to add students, so if your there early and you see the port bus, add him to reserve your spot. We had a good 15+ people camping out for a good 5+ hours to reserve their spot. 

Thanks again for understanding and sorry again for the inconvinience.
Cya at Opening Day :)
-Shadowrider Faculty

(MEGA POST!!!) New Mega Bundle, Zebrifica, Card Packs, Mystery Pet Revealed, Outfit

When you hear the term, best for last, what do you think about. In this scenario I think about Zebrifica made real XD As I said, save the best for last so onto the new card packs ;)

Wizard101 has released a new special Halloween card pack which is the cheapest it's ever been! For only 299 Crowns, you get tons of housing items and lots of pet snacks, don't even get me started on all the tons of pets you can get (check Talon's blog for a list of tons of pets) but best of all, the outfit and mount. This outfit is amazing! Probably me favorite yet! For all of you who know how much I don't favor the Dragon's Hoard Outfit and the Wyvern's Hoard I don't mind but this is just plain E.P.I.C.

   The outfit was based off of the Ianthine Spectre pet so you knows it gotta be epic. It's got a Dragonspyre feel to it don't you think. Anyways the new outfit is epic! it's got a hat that makes your face look pitch black and all you see are two glowing green beady eyes. Spooky right. The for the outfit you have tattered rags like a cape, and for the boots, ghostly. The staff is my favorite part though. It is a Scythe. It's like the Wraith's scythe but for a staff! It glows light blue like the morning ocean but you can see the devastating darkness, wanting to seep out and break over the land.
    The mount is a horse but a ghost. Something you would see out of a scary movie with a saddle with skulls on it and a blue ghostly shade. The mount is very epic and close to my favorite so far XD Here are a few pictures of the outfit and mount.

In game they look more scary. Beware the dark.

_________________________________________________________________

Now we have some new Epic updates in ze Spiral! We have two, not one, but two new Mega Bundles!!! Introducing the Super Bundle and the Hawk Rider Bundle. These are the most epic bundles yet I must say. Like I say, best for last so let's start with the Hawk Rider Bundle.

The Hawkrider Bundle comes with a

(Item) Hawk Rider Bundle Gift Card.png
  • High Flying Hawk mount 
  • Night Hawk pet
  • 2 Handed Claymore (Sword)
  • Ranger Outfit
  • Teleport Tapestry
  • 1 Month Sub or 5,000 Crowns

This is one of my favorites because the armor, mount, and pet remind me of Horus, the Egyptian God which had the symbol of the Hawk/Falcon. Although the Hawk isn't a multi-player mount, you can make it one ;) I was hanging with Fallon Shadowblade from Diary of a Wizard earlier and me and her "tested" a way to make the Hawk a multi-player mount XD Check it:
It looks like i'm only standing under her (which I was) but I was moving wherever she went like I was on the mount XD This is a great deal which you can get at Wall Mart in the U.S. for $29.

WALAWALAWALAWALA!!! ZEBRIFICA MADE REAL BABY!!!  Wizard101 actually does listen to their players ideas and this is proof to all you non-believers! Wizard101 has taken the idea of my good friend, Nicholas Lionrider and his world he created, Zebrifica, and they made a house, no not a house, a Mega Bundle out of it!!! Rumors be told that this is just a layout for the follow up world to Celestia! Anyways the new Bundle info is here and it is epic! Look at the amazing stuff it gives!
    (Item) Super Bundle Gift Card.png
  • Enormous Safari Palace
  • War Rhino Mount (Multi-Player Mount!!!)
  • Great Axe (Wand/Sword)
  • Safari Outfit
  • Pet Giraffe
  • Mystery Teleport Tapestry
  • 1 Month Sub or 5,000 Crowns
Note that this is the ONLY Multi-player mount in the whole game!!! I have gotten the chance to ride it a few times with Friendly, and Fallon Shadowblade. I chilled for a bit with Stephen Spritcaller and Fallon Deathslinger (Ravenwood Radio crew) at their friends Sun Palace. I also had the honor of going to my friend Amber Unicorn Flower's Sun Palace (which is what the house is called) and viewing her outstanding house! I also rode the Rhino with her and I saw her Hawk Mount. I also got to view  her amazing gear of the Hawk Rider and Safari outfit. Here are a few pictures I got of the Super Bundle stuff.
Me, Tom, and Swag

Me, Fallon, and my pet ;)

How's ya like dem apples! Pretty epic right! Well now, I had to share my joy with Nick XD We talked for a while about the epic house and Zebrifica and how he can finally stop creating fan art for it because Wizard101 has taken over that XD We still want to finish our epic music though ;) Anyways here is Nicks reaction when he first checked the house out XD



_________________________________________________________________

So remember when Wizard101 told us all to vote for them for an award? Remember when they said if they won they would give us a special Mystery Pet? Well they did! If you voted, check your email NOW between November 1st and look for an email from Wizard101 and it will give you a code to get the Mystery Pet. The Mystery Pet is........... A YELLOW ELF!!! This was a one time opportunity pet and only if you got lucky while playing KIFG you would have gotten it. Thanks KingsIsle soooooo much for this epic pet! I really am glad I finally got it (yea I never got it from KIFG ;) but it's pretty epic. 37 Pedigree with a Yellow Elf card at Adult, it's epic XD 

Since i'm feeling nice right now, lets say I give you the code to get this pet shall we ;) Just go to https://www.wizard101.com/game/community/2011-Audience-Award and if the code isn't there, put int he code audiencevotingreward and then you have yourself a Yellow Elf! It takes 2 hours to hatch so just be patient ;)


_________________________________________________________________


Now in all those pictures you have seen me not in my usual outfit but in a new one. This is my new epic outfit XD I felt it was time for change so I decided to whip up a new outfit XD I still have to get new level 60 gear to stitch with it or I might just wait till the next level cap and then stitch it with gear from there. This is basically my chill outfit and I wear it when ever I am not doing epic battles, helping epic friends, or doing epic farming battles in Hrundle Fjord. So here's another peak at my epic chill outfit XD

_________________________________________________________________

Now for my last part of this post. Gosh how much have i used the word E.P.I.C. in todays post lol. That should be the word of the day! This part you will love :) Random Contest!!!

Ok so the question is, how many times have I used the word "epic" in this post. You have to count them all and then send me your answer to mywizard101site@gmail.com with the title "Contest". Note: This includes the usage of the word epic in the whole post except for the title and this last part of the post. So if the word "epic" is in the title or this last section of the post from "Now for my last part of this post..." it doesn't count in the counting. So go ahead and count away! I will be giving out:
