Fortune Cookie Tree and Goose Tree


This was the best angle I could get on the Goose Tree at Harvest. It is extremely hard to raise, or perhaps it's just giving me trouble. It has gone into Progression to Dead 4 times since I planted it. It does not reseed, and is not as visually exciting as I had hoped. If it progresses to dead once more I plan to plow it, it is simply not worth the effort to me.

I received it from an Emperor's Attic Pack as well as the Maltese Tiger Lily (it is not pictured because it hid behind the regular Tiger Lilies, but it looks like the White Tiger Lily.)and the Fortune Cookie Tree.

The Maltese Tiger Lily and the Fortune Cookie tree have been extremely easy to raise and have given me no problems. They get along well with the other plants in the garden and have not progressed to dead once. This garden is not set up like my others. It's for visual stimulation, rather than a goal of snacks or reagents. I wanted to share this with you, so that you would see what they looked like and decide if it's worth the trouble for you.

"Toaddley" Perfect Pet Part 2

Yesterday afternoon I continued my quest for a Toaddle with Spritely and Incredibly Infalliable pierce train.

I hatched King Spencer (The product of the first hatch) A 2nd Generation Night Hawk,


back to Toby, the 1st Generation Toaddle. 


And got Queen Dixie- 3rd Generation Toaddle with Spritely and Infalliable by adult. 
 While the project has been a perfect success, I'm considering taking it a step further. Now that I have my Infallible and Spritely, I may try to add some other talents to her. Perhaps another heal, unicorn or Fairy friend. Unfortunately I've depleted my stock pile of mega snacks in the course of this project and one more. I know, I know, but I'm impatient and I'm not fond of training, so megas work for me. LOL I have 3 large gardens that provide me with lots of mega's, I'm just waiting for them to go to elder. In the mean time I guess I'll feed out some of these rank 6 and 7 snacks I have piling up.

ALSO: 

Short rant about Grumpy Gobblers Training Game.

It's so annoying to me when I hit something and it doesn't give me the points, and worse still, leaves the block or cut out for me to hit, AGAIN. Waste of a shot, if you ask me. Though Grumpy Gobblers is my favorite and quickest Training Game.

"Toaddley" Perfect Pet- Hatching for talents- My personal project. Pt.1

My level 31 Storm wizard is rather pitiful. Her health is low, she fizzles quite frequently, and even with crown gear, she is defeated quite often.  I have some great pets, the problem is that my Toaddle which helps with the fizz, doesn't have spritely, and my Night Hawk, which has spritely, doesn't help with fizzle. 

SOLUTION:
I decided to hatch them together and see if I could get a pet with Incredibly Infallible and Spritely.

These are the pets that I started with: 

Toby- 1st Generation Toaddle from Purreau's Plentiful Pet Pack


Harley- 1st Generation Night Hawk from Hawk Rider's Bundle



THE RESULT OF THE 1ST HATCH

King Spencer- 2nd Generation Night Hawk


Trained To Teen: Gained Talent Spritely


Trained to Adult: Gained Talent Incredibly Infalliable



He is currently halfway to Ancient, I will train to Ancient to see what talent he gains, however, the project was a success in a single hatch using the 1st Generation parents, even though it was not the pet that I wanted.  The Talents I aimed for were both manifested by adult.  I consider myself very lucky at this point. I will continue this project until i get the talents I want on the Toaddle.

Right As Rain

 Arthur Weathersfield in Ravenwood will now send you to Triton Avenue, where you will need to use "Dee's Mirror" on your search for the lost student, Kestrel. 

You will arrive at Dee's Mirror just outside the Haunted Cave. Indicated on the map by the yellow puzzle piece outline.


Upon entering you will find yourself at the beginning of a dungeon. It stated 1 hour to complete solo, of course higher levels will be quicker It took me about 7 minutes to solo and that was passing a lot on the second floor to find out the spells cast.

They do have Myth Shield


2nd Floor- Kestrel Blackstorm & Rotting Fodder

Kestrel Blackstorm-Rank 2 Boss
1055 Health Storm

Spells used: 
Dark Fairy, Storm blade, fizzed a lot, Lightning Bats, Thunder Snake, possibly Myth shield, though she did not cast it. ( I passed several rounds to see what she would use.)

Kestrel End speech:  "Ow, my aching head! I can't believe I attacked you. I'm so sorry! Those stupid Pages Cursed me. Can you forgive me?

Then speak to Arthur Wethersfield in Ravenwood.
You will earn the badge:

which will appear on page 26 of your badges



This concludes Part 2 of this quest and this entry. 

See you in the Spiral! 

Tales for the Test Realm: Rental Mount Timers

This update effects both the Rental mounts purchased from Zeke as well as the dropped mounts and 1-7 day mounts from Packs and codes. 

I like it! Now, once you've equipped the mount the timer starts, it will ask you if you are sure and if it's ok. Once you click yes, your time begins. Unequipping the mount DOES NOT STOP THE TIMER.  

The reason I like this is that I like the Knight's Lore packs. They're generous with White Stag and Gryphon Mounts, but all to often I get more than one at the same time and I feel that my 'prize' is wasted. You no longer have to decide which to ride, now you can save one for later!

Level 90 Crowns Gear- Ghost Chasers Outfit

Ghost Chaser Gear Level 90



Level 90 Crown Gear for Death School Only
I also purchased some Level 90 Gear to try out with my Test Crowns. I purchased the Ghost Chasers Outfit. I took pictures of the stats with ONLY the Ghost Chasers Gear equipped. I removed my ring, athame, pet, and wand for these stats. My conclusion is that I personally would not spend real crowns for these stats. Even with pet, ring, athame, and wand. Yes I have awesome crit and block, damage is about the same accuracy is up, and descent armor pierce. but I lose pips, lots of resist, and incoming/outgoing health. Not worth it to me. *shrug* 



Test Realm: "Lost Pages" Event Pt.1


I decided to test the new event, now that things have loaded.

First you will need to report to Harold Argleston in the Commons Library of Wizard City. He will direct you to Boris Tallstaff, who has indeed had a voice change. He will send you back to Harold who will direct you to the commons, this is a glitch, Simeon, the next quest giver is in Ravenwood near the boys Dormitory.  He's the guy that gives you the House quest at level 15. Simeon will direct you to Triton Avenue.

 It seems that there are some new residents on Triton Ave. Spellwrit Screamers. Your first task is to defeat 10 of these. Easy, right? Well not as easy as you think. They still only pull one at a time, they are also mixed in with all the old regular ghosties of Triton Avenue, which means you will be playing with others, for the lower levels this means you will have to be more selective on your Scarlet Screamer quests.

Spellwrit Screamers 315 Storm They do carry Myth Shield.
After defeating 10 Spellwrit Screamers you will recover the Lost Page of Storms and return to Simeon in Ravenwood. He will then send you back the Harold in the Library with the spell page that you recovered. Harold sends you back to Ravenwood, where you will need to speak to Arthur Weathersfield, the Balance teacher. This concludes Part 1 of the quest, and this post.

See you in the Spiral!
