Huh??? OH YAY!

Hi all,

Well I'm probably the last one to announce this, but it seems that Wysteria is crossing over from Test Realm to Live Realm today! W00T! I'm sorta happy for a new world, I hope there will be new spells, though. I finally got enough time over the past 3 days to play Wizzy, and now there's maintenance for another 8 minutes. BLEH. Oh well. Patience young Padawan... Ah shattup Yoda. :P

Newz

Hi all

Sorry I haven't been posting lately---- was quite busy. Today was my last day of tennis camp, and this week I clocked 30+ hours of court time in 85 degrees and humid. It was super fun. Because of camp, I haven't been getting into the Spiral much or anything else. I have some 'newz' for you guys.

Well, starting off with the good news, well, I hit Legendary in wizzies like 2 weeks ago, but didn't announce it. So w00t!!! =)

Then the bad news, sadly, the bad news greatly outweighs the good news. As you all have probably heard, Norway, my second home, where I was 2 weeks ago, was bombed by a terrorist. The bomb shook the city, my dad's office building, and shattered lots of windows. Then to make matters worse, a gunman opened fire dressed as a policeman on a youth camp, killing over 80 kids. When you do the math, compared to the death count (90+) and Norway's overall population, those 90 deaths equaled 7,000 deaths in the USA. That's far worse than the World Trade Center. To top it off, Norway is a relatively open country so this will hit them hard. All of our thoughts and prayers are with the Norwegian people.

The other bad news is that since I hit Legend, I've gotten super bored with Wizzies. There are no goals for me anymore. The community (sorry!!!) seems bland compared to real life. All the drama and stuff just make me shake my head and sigh, because none of this stuff is real. It's a game. Not a life!! This game is what it says, a game, not a life. I hate how what people do and say in this "GAME" affects others so much. Shake it off because it doesn't matter! Sorry for a little rant, had to vent LOL

Well, that's pretty much it. I'll be staying on Wizzies, but might not be doing much. I hope to blog more in the future.

Rug Glitches Galore!

 

My MB house

 

Thomas's House

 

Thomas's House

 

Belgrim's House

Hi all

So I've been fooling around a lot on Wizzy lately. I blew 30K on the MB Royal Estate, and have been decorating it quite a bit. One of the things I did was a rug glitch, which is one of those pics up there. I'm standing next to Amber Rosepetal (Saviors of the Spiral) and Morgrim BattleGem. We were hanging out for awhile in the basement of my MB house, and decided to take a pic outside. We call ourselves.........The Fearsome Threesome! It took us like 2 seconds to think of that, so please excuse the lame name. I: Also, you see me standing on a long blue rug UNDERNEATH, yes, underneath, my good buddy Belgrim TitanCatcher's Great Citadel. Among his collection, Belgrim, or Bell, as I like to call him, has a rug going outside is WC dorm and extending outside into the open air! Pretty cool, huh? You also see my friend Thomas's rug glitch, going UNDERNEATH his Fire House. I'm there with Morgrim, and you can look up into the house, with flames circling the roof. We actually fell off the rug into nothingness a couple times, and had to keep porting back up. All in good fun though! Just thought I'd give all these houses an Honorable Mention, because I think they deserve it!

The W101C Dilemna

Hi all

I've been on vacation lately, so I have been taking a break from the game. I am still surfing blogs and such, but am not in the actual Spiral. I visited Marleybone in real life, too! Pretty cool.... but enough of that now.

Something that has come to my attention is that the Evil Theurgist has been banned from Wizard101 Central. I myself am I member of that forum, and find the guides great. However I am thinking of deleting my account or attempting to delete my account after what has been happening as of late. I personally believe that Jester, the main admin, has been abusing his power as an admin. I have seen many great posters be banned, namely DerHund, Johnist, and Evil Theurgist.

Apparently, the Evil Theurgist attempted to remove a guide that he made about W101 Reagents a while ago. He said he had not updated it, so he asked for Jester to remove the guide and all forum gold that came to Evil Theurgist as result of it. Jester responded by banning Evil, and therefore (kinda) starting an issue in the blogging community. I now ask you all to post feedback about this! What do you believe that we should do? I don't care if you don't even play the game! Should we do something, or just lay low?!?!?

I also learned that Jester told Evil , "I have done nothing wrong by anyone’s standards and you are harassing me. I suggest you crawl back under whatever rock you came from." My apologies for Theurgist if I am taking info from his site, but I think this needs to come to attention. I don't wanna get in any Legal Trouble with this, but I thought this was an interesting topic to talk about. Now, my blog will not become a warzone, and I please ask you to not to start something REALLY bad for us.

Thanks, Chase

My Deck

 


Halla all
Well I'm PvP-ing with Amber Rosepetal right now. This my deck so she can see. Bye for now. Also viewers if you have PVP experience, feel free to post feedback on this setup. Thanks

Double Woot!

 

Hi all

Well today was pretty cool in the WillowWeaver clan. I got some crowns, bought back my training points, bought a Myth mastery Amulet, and trained Myth to Earthquake. My new deck set up has changed dramatically, but I think it has changed for the better. Pics coming soon!

Now I know I haven't posted screenshots of the game for awhile. I am vying to break that streak now. Up above you see a pic of my Balance 52 (now 53 WOOT) posing in front of a sea of embers in the District of the Stars. The District is the final dungeon of Celestia. I went there helping my friend Dakota Dragonrider, and we were accompanied by a Myth 59, Lucas FireCoin. In a nutshell, we completely PWND the District! I'd like to congratulate Dakota for finishing Celestia, and I'd like to thank him for taking me because, well I leveled up! Amazing what 25k of experience can do for you, huh?

In my opinion, the highlight of the dungeon was when I was within about 500 HP's of one hitting the final Boss :P. I used a Mali Judge, and lemme tell you, it was PWNAGE! We crushed her in 5minutes flat, and I was super duper happy to be the one to (nearly) kill the boss. I hope the rest of CL will be this easy! (Excuse me while I have my 5 minutes of bragging rights. Thanks!)

WAHOO!

Hi all

So I some news worthy of a few WAHOOOS now. To kick it off, as you probably already know, I wrote a PvP guide to a Wiz Friend of mine. I logged on yesterday, and ported to him. Two days ago, his rank was 330, yesterday evening, it was 440!!! Woot! My advice worked! Congratz Dakota!

Also, My2Cents has reached 20 followers! It might not be much, but it is a milestone nonetheless. Thanks to all of you loyal followers!

Last, but not least, one of my pets has FINALLY gotten Spritely. I decided to buy a Mega Snack pack yesterday, and within a half hour, my Utility Dragon had leveled to adult and gained the Spritely Talent! I then transferred the pet to my Myth Wizard, Valkoor, for him to use in PvP!

All in all, a pretty fruitful day.

General PvP Tips (Dakota DragonRider)

Normally I would say "Hi all," but today is a different matter. I am teaching a Legendary Life wiz, Dakota DragonRider, how to PvP effectively. Therefore, I will say, "Hi Dakota"

Hi Dakota,

I'm gonna teach you how to PvP. I am not a Life Wiz, or a Beast Warlord, but I am, however, experienced. I have dueled a total of about 320 matches. I hope that is enough.

1. Win the Pip War- always try to have more pips than your opponent. If you have more than them, it will make it easier to control the TEMPO, which I will get into later. If you have more pips than your opponent, you are winning the pip war.

2. Control the TEMPO- The Tempo is like the rate of the battle. It's a fast tempo if you are both under 1500 health and are attacking and healing like crazy. A slow tempo is like a tank match. Control the tempo by throwing up a shield. This will probably make your opponent try to break it, which wastes them a turn, and buys you one. Or attack, and make them heal. That wastes one of their turns, and pips, and you get a free turn to gather yourself.

3. Think of a strategy- For example, my strategy is speed. I go for quick big hits, like Spec Blast or Judge, and I go fast. If I am set for a tank deck, with lots of shields, I'm not going to be going for quick hits. That is why it's important to know your strategy.

4. Know your deck- I have a small deck, so I get the cards I want fast. The bigger the deck, the harder it is to get the cards you want, when you want them. Use this information when building your deck. Make a rough draft of your deck, do a duel or practice duel, and keep a list of what cards you are discarding or not using. You will probably take these cards away, to slim down your deck for the next draft. Repeat this until you feel like you have what you need, and not everything else for EVERY possibility

THIS GUIDE MAY BE EDITED LATER ON.

GOOD LUCK DAKOTA

Clash of the Titans (err, Wizards)

Hi all
I just participated in an hour long 1v1 match in the Arena. My opponent was a level 40 (WOW) Life in full arena gear. I was using my new minion deck that I found off of Central, thanks to Jake. Thank you Jake! On the otherhand, our match took an hour, and I still lost. I'm not sure I'll be using the deck again. Oh well! Time to go back to my DerHund quick attack deck! I might even try another minion deck by DerHund. I'll post a pic of the deck setup later. That's all for now! And also, if you didn't already, please visit the below post!

March of the Vikings

Hi all
So as you might know, my dad's job is in the TV business in Norway. He lives with Mom and I in Florida most of the time, but he frequently flies up to Norway to work. So every summer, Mom and I fly up to Norway for a month and a half. I am actually typing this blog post to you from Norway right now!

Grizzleheim is also modeled after Norway's forests and such, and I must say, KingsIsle did a great job! Savarstaad Pass actually reminded me of the woods here.

On the downside, Norway is 6 hours ahead of EST time, and 9 hours ahead of WST (?) or Cali time. The time difference will make it difficult to hang out with in-game buddies, but I guess changes can be made for when I play. Just wanted to bring that to notice. Another downside is the KI makes their maintenance times at like 4 in the morning Cali time, so I can't go on W101 in the morning or afternoon. /: Oh well haha. Guess I'll just camp out in WizzyCentral!

Back in Action

Hi all (If anyone is still here)
I have finally decided to return to the blogging and Wizard101 Realm! After quite a long sabbatical, I believe now is the time for me to pick up the wand and continue casting.

While I was gone, quite a few notable things occurred in the Spiral. For one, Gardening, which I still have no idea how to do. Wintertusk, which I have not reached, and numerous Crowns items. I am now trying to level up in Celestia, and find myself battling through the Grotto. Additionally, I am trying to level up my pets, but to no avail. I wasted 2000 crowns on a Mega-Snack pack, and who knows how many on that new Dragon's Hoard. The only things worth their weight were 2 pairs of crown boots. Their stats are as follows:

DragonRider's Assailing Shoes:
130 Health
3% Power Pips
2% Accuracy
9% Tough
1 Polymorph Bandit card

Another pair of DragonRider's Assailing Shoes, but with different stats:
120 Health
6 Pet Energy Max
4% Power Pips
5% Accuracy
10 Critical Rating
1 Unstoppable Card


In my opinion, decent, but not worth it. I also received a Utility Dragon, with a Pedigree (?) of 63. It also had 3 Epic Talent Slots. "Nice," I said, proceeding to waste a Mega-Snack Pack to get the little Dragon to Teen. "Congratulations, your pet has leveled up to Teen," the screen read. And guess what talent I got? Myth Boost. I get 1% Myth boost for wasting a 2,000 Crown Snack Pack. Oh boy...

I have also been PvP-ing quite a bit, and have tried out a new strategy. Reading a guide by DerHund on WizzyCentral, I learned that small decks are better. Copying his exact specs and deck, I am now 5-1 in PvP. Thanks DerHund! I have been transferring your knowledge to my other Balance friends too! Thanks!

All in all, I'm attempting to catch up with the hustle-and-bustle of Wizarding that I missed out on for so long. I hope to see you all in the Spiral!

Ravenwood Radio, Home, and Everything in Between

 

 

 

 

Hi all,

To kick it off, the My2Cents family's travels are finally over, and we flew back home just the day before last. What a relief it is to finally sleep in our own beds and sit at our own desks while playing W101! Home sweet home eh?

Also, since I had a cold yesterday (*sigh*) I got to play lots of W101! (YAY!) I've been PvPing a lot on my characters. Valkoor Willowweaver, Valerian Willowweaver, and Chase Willowweaver. It's tough. At least I haven't met any bolters. *Shudder*

Congrats to Ravenwood Radio for another fantastic show! I was only there for the last few minutes, but it was great! Shout out to Friendly! My favorite part was when I heard little Diapermancer in the background. AWWW so cute. And guess what? At the after party, I added Kevin Battleblood's alt, and Valerian Nightbringer of Valerian's School for Wayward Wizards! Nice meeting you guys!

Lastly, it is to my great joy and honor to announce that after MANY months of stalling, procrastinating, and such, I have finally reached Grandmaster!!! WOOT! With the help of some friends irl, I was able to hit grand and gain 2 levels in 2 days FLAT. Nice, yes? After I hit Grand, we went and did Briskbreeze, blew through that, and then went the warehouse, blew through that! It feels good to be a grand LOL.

All in all, it was a pretty successful day, eh? Pictures of the Ravenwood Radio after party above. Click to enlarge.

Of Rip-offs and Renewals

Of rip-offs and renewals. Was I unknowingly ripped off? Was I forced to renew? Yes and yes. My W101 membership, which I payed $60 for, has recently ended. * flash back * "Dad, can I buy a membership?" "Sure senior." Ahhhh, that was exactly 1 year and 4 days ago. But that year was not everlasting. My membership has ended, and KingsIsle ripped me off and took another $60 dollars because I forgot to cancel my membership. Did I receive an e-mail telling me I had 24 hours of membership time left? Nope. Just a scam to steal your $$. I am not accusing of KI of stealing my money, they were simply doing their job, which is making money. I am simply posting a reminder to all you paying Wizards, CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIPS WHEN THEY ARE GONNA BE OVER SOON!! Now, I have to either waste 60 nice, crisp, green, bucks, or keep playing W101. Clever, KingsIsle, clever. And sly. Very sly. . . What other things do you have up your sleeves?

~Chase

Bye Myth Master

Yep. It's gone. One of the blogs I read. The Myth Master. I guess people are cutting the ties to W101, now. Ah, disregard that last line. I'm listening to November Rain, and it's a kind of sad rock song. I listen to loud music, I act loud. Sad music, I act sad. My brain is hotwired for rock music. Lol. Last week, Amber Stargem announced that she would be forever closing her blog, The Myth Master. She told us that we only had 1 week to read her blog until she deleted it. That week ends now. I've already tried to access the blog twice, but to no avail. It appears she deleted it already. Goodbye Myth Master. . . Oh and I went to a buddy's house yesterday for dinner. He likes ventriloquist dolls. And diablos. And juggling. And guitar. All of those things are so FUN to do. He even let me try diablo-ing. If you wanna see some EXPERT ventriloquist skills, go to jeffdunham.com it's AWESOME. This guy is hilarious!!! Oh and, guys, please help me find somewhere I can help my friend buy a ventriloquist doll. He really wants one. And I don't know where to get it. eBay, anything. Just tell me. Thanks all.

It's Quite Crowded at 3:52 in the Mornin'

Yeah.
Cause I'm visiting Dad in Norway, we're in a different time zone, so basically, we're 6 hours ahead of Eastern Time, and 9 hours ahead of Western Time. Cool, eh? Logging on, I saw that there was a Scheduled Maintenance going on. Let's see what happens, I told myself. I'd only been kicked out of a Maintenance before last year, on the same date LOL! After I logged on, I switched realms to Ambrose, Area 1 to see how many people were up at near 4:00 in the morning. You wouldn't believe it! The Commons was SO crowded. Not just like hmm, 10 people. This was like 50 people just running around and talking and whatnot. Since I'm on a new computer, I don't have Picasa 3, and therefore do not know how to post my screenshots. If I find them, I will most definitely post them later on, because this was very, very, strange. But after all, I'm not usually up at 4:00 in the morning, so maybe that's how crowded it is everyday. Any suggestions? EDIT: I even met Christo DeathGiver!!! Some of you might know or heard of him from W101C. Mercenaries for Hire? That's him! Probably one of the nicest, strongest, coolest, awsesomest,wizards in the Spiral. Just a little update from Celebrity Way by Chase. * Lady Gaga starts singing * Paparazzi!

The Glitchiest Glitch of All

Ah, it's good to be home.

Hey Everybody,

Sorry for my lack of posting AGAIN (Emphasis on again). I've been busy attending to some "Family Business" lately. As a result, my W101 time has been depleted to near none. I'm back home now, and I finally have some relaxing time with my computer and a bucket of popcorn.

After the Malistaire run in the below post, I decided to test my luck and use the Second Chance Chest. Although I did not recieve my GM robe, I did acquire a quite peculiar athame, Malistaire Drake's DeathEdge. This is just a normal level 45 athame, you say? Not quite!!! Despite giving the normal boosts, powers, etc, the DeathEdge says, Crowns Only, No Drop, No Auction, No Trade, Arena Tickets Only. I seem to remember seeing this glitch before, but did not know what caused it. Any ideas??? I'm completely clueless on this subject. That's all for today! Laterz.

~Chase

Good Night, Malistaire!!!!

***EDIT*** DUE TO SECURITY REASONS THE ABOVE PICTURE HAS BEEN DELETED FROM THIS POST.

Good morning!
Today was a sleepy day. I woke up at 8:20! *YAWNS* I had the oppurtunity to meet the King of Death! (AKA Cody Deathflame LOL). With the help of Donna Spellthorn, and Kayla something or other, we cremated Malistaire. Donna and Kayla took out the minions, and I boosted up Cody with Balance blades and whatnot. Finally, after 20 minutes of boosting, Cody cast the mighty Wraith to put an end to the evil Malistaire!!! Just clearing 22,000 damage, the Wraith burned Malistaire to the ground. Sadly, it was not higher than Cody's original highest hit. But Congratz anyway, Cody!!!

My First Collage!

Hey,
LOL, this is my third post today! I hope after you read this post, that you will go back into my Archives and look at what I already wrote today. Back to my collage. Well, this is just my first collage, made by Picasa 3! All the pictures, as you might have noticed, show random rug glitches! I LOVE glitches, even though I can barely do them myself :P. This is my first collage, so I hope you like it! My collages will sort of be to like, sum up what I've been posting about for a while. Get it?

~Lancelot

Um, Rip Off???

Ah good evening,

Was I just ripped off, you ask? Totally! Like my earlier post stated, I am now Lancelot. I was looking for some cool gear to dye to enhance my "Mid-evil" look. I was going to dye my Balance robe, but the screen shots say it all. 57,046 gold to just dye a robe silver and red? 107,375 to dye a robe all black? This is insane! Who's supposed to have THAT much cash in their pockets?!?!?! In the second pic, the number was so big that it fell of the price tag! I remember when I used to play RuneScape, all the best gear was like, 9 MILLION gold. I barely even had 100!!! Totally cheap-o! I DEMAND A LAWYER! SOMEONE SUE THIS LADY.

Your "Money-less" friend,
Lancelot
