Ask Freddy a Question Editon 2

I have gotten a comment from The Overacheiving Necromancer!

IF YOU DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK I WILL HAVE TO SHOOT YOU!

Ok, maybe not :P I don't even own a gun so.... uh... here's the question.

Ahem, cue the drumroll...

I need help, is it better to farm General Akilles for the Blue Ghost or just wait until someone sells it at the bazaar? I fought him 163 times exactly, with no ghost. Please help if you can. Love the blog.
Overachieving

Well, lemme check the wiki for drop rates....

This is the page on blue ghosts.

Now, on the General Akilles page it says Blue Ghosts have a drop percentage of 2%.

2%???!!!! That's like one fifth of the time wild bolt will hit!!!!!

But, bazaar sniping is boring. And the only things people ever sell to the bazaar are items you could just buy in the pet shop like piggles and goat monks anyways.

I would say farm Akilles with a friend, because it's so much more fun with a friend ;) If you show up in the bazaar I would say maybe spend 3 minutes trying to find it. But it's your choice.

You might want to think if it's worth it or not. If you have farmed him like 163 times you might want to take a break you know. :P Maybe farm him later.

That's all the help I can give, hope it works out for you!

-Happy Wizarding!

I HATE YOU HOBOS pt 2

I hate tower hobos more than mob hobos in Dragonspyre.

I hate you, tower hobos
with your freaky smiles
and your weird grins
I think you are vile

I hate you, tower hobos
And your towers too
Clear out the place
It's dusty and has cobwebs too

I hate you, tower hobos
My friends can't port in
And you keep on
annoying me with your freakish grins

I hate you, tower hobos,
just standing there on a floor,
You have no life
Just kick the bucket out the door

I hate you, tower hobos
But I hate the quest-giver even more
the guy that says Go and fight
a million enemies that dementedly roar

I hate you quest-givers
Why don't you help me?
instead of standing there
loitering like a hobo

Tower hobos, quest-givers
you are all the same
Just kick the bucket
give me the loot
Don't give me a hard time

For it's all the same!

Hints about Celestia

Ravenwood School of Magical Arts Welcomes Spring Competition

The winds of spring are blowing across Wizard City, and with them come the fresh spirit of competition. Inspired by Earth’s finest athletes at their winter games, Wizards from every school and many worlds of the Spiral are ready to set forth on grand new adventures with their loyal pets alongside them, with exciting new activities and fresh challenges soon to come. When asked what’s in store for pet-owners, Merle Ambrose, headmaster of Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, replied: “This spring, pets will be able to do more than you have ever dared hope! These fine creatures will serve alongside you in wonderful new ways, taking you to unseen parts of familiar worlds, and in time to come, worlds beyond those you know! If you think you have seen all that the Spiral has to offer, young Wizard, you will soon discover an all new breed of entertainment!” When asked to elaborate, Ambrose replied cryptically, “The answer you seek may be in the stars... or it just might be there alongside you.”

CELESTIA! WHOOPEEE! This is actually really factual. We now know that...

1. Wizard City is awesome (though that was already obvious)
2. Krokotopia is less awesome than Wizard City (:P)
3. Piggles have grown chubbier in the last decade
4. Ninja Pigs will sneak up on Manders and massacre them

All jokes aside, these are the facts :P


1. Celestia will be underwater themed (or it will have floating crabs O.o)
2. There will be a new release with pets.


Hmm. Wonder what Merle's last sentence was about.
“The answer you seek may be in the stars... or it just might be there alongside you.”
Alongside you? Maybe something to do with the new quests? Maybe they're release a new star pet! lolz. It would be funny to have a star boinging alongside me :P

Oh, doh. I completely forgot to tell those who don't know about Celestia that about Celestia XD

Celestia is the topic of many threads over at Wizard101 Central. Celestia is the rumored "New World" because it has been hinted at in two quests.

One is by Shelus Gruffheart in Firecat Alley. He wants you to reclaim a Celestian artifact as one of his quests.

And then Mr. Rowley in Hyde Park wants you to get back his Celestian wristwatch.

These are hints that there is a world called Celestia.

People have gone to think that "Celestia" has something to do with the word "celestial" which is related to the sky or air.

And it looks like it might just be underwater :P(Unless there are flying crabs but that would be creepy O. O)

Hmm... So what do you think of this?

~Happy Wizarding

OOOH! OOOOH!

Just added a thing that says where the people viewing my blog are...

OOOH! OOOHH! I SEE ONE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!

Wait, that's just me :O

Anyways, the cards coming to target sounds cool.

You know what that picture reminds me of? This. Right here.

That was Friendly Necromancer's Interview with Terry Dietz, who has contributed artwork to the fan art section. He makes models. Go ahead and read the interview.

Anyways, he was talking about how he wished he could have a blue firecat. :P Gotta love that model too.

That picture... Y'know the one I showed with the News? Hmm.... *thinks*

I'm bored.

*drinks hot chocolate*

*thinks some more*

hmm... maybe a blue firecat wil be the theme for the Target Gift Cards?

We'll find out! I'm definetely emailing Friendly over this,

O. O ZOMG *dies*

The Price of Exploiting

Recently players found an exploit that allowed them to unfairly obtain the new winged mounts. Players who participated in this exploit will have the items removed from their accounts. We will be recovering the item(s) and issuing a credit to the account equal to the gold amount paid. Players may experience disconnects while this inventory recall takes place. Players are welcome to re-purchase the item(s) according to the posted Crown pricing. If you participated in this exploit, know that we will not tolerate abuse of the systems in place. Using exploits in game is a violation of the Terms of Use and continued exploitation may result in permanent account bans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow. You're lucky they didn't take yar gold too. I'm not gonna rant on the topic.... well maybe I am.

I never have been a big cheater in video games, because it just doesn't make me comfortable. I don't feel like I earned something if I just bought it with crowns or used an Action Replay :I I don't get why other people find exploits and use them... sure, you could be the big powerful guy but you'll never feel like you earned the stuff. The game won't be fun anymore. It not only is unfair to other players it also makes you feel bad. Also, you may get banned from the entire game. SO DON'T DO IT!

And now it is time for me to sign off! See ya around and...

Happy Wizarding! ~FF~

Did you know?

Those annoying messages that pop-up when I quit Wiz101 displayed something interesting today.

OF COURSE I KNEW THAT! DUH! THE NON-SUBSCRIBER LEVEL 1 NOOBS WITHOUT TEXT CHAT KNEW THAT! GEEEZZZ!

lol. Why even bother putting up that message? Everyone knows that I: Talking about 2d displays, I hate the low-level wizards who wear random clothing cause there's no level restrictions and look like myth wizards when they're really life wizards XD But now's not the time to rant.

I should really upload another random picture of the day. Come to think of it, I haven't updated my Wiz101 Central album in.... oh I'll do it now.

~Happy Wizarding!

Die, Petrov!

Yes! Now that Petrov Gloomstrider is down, so is the rest of the world! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

OK... maybe it isn't. But still, it was fun helephanting the heck out of a wizard and his colossus hobo minion (Rock Reaver) :D And now I get to activate the third crystal! Yippe! Now the only thing stopping me from finishing the tower archives is one more tower, and Katalin Nightseeker's side quest line.

As soon as she told me I had to fight Skeletal Pirate Hobos until I got a Note (Pirate Ravager) I just flipped out.


*Insert picture of my character shounting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO"*

Remember it's always better to pretend ;) *rainbow appears*

Happy Wizarding and have fun with dem wings!

The Update that Everybody else probably posted before Me

https://www.wizard101.com/game/community/news/february2010

Clicky click on that link :D
New! New! New!
Starting in the early hours of February 18th, the SHOP will carry some new items!

New Mounts!
One of the most requested Mount additions has been a pair of wings, and we've got TWO for you to choose from: Seraph Wings and Bat Wings. Both types of wings can be purchased for either gender! These Mounts are only available to purchase from the Crowns Shop for Crowns, but they can also be found on high level bosses of the Spiral!

New Weapons
Sometimes a wand just doesn't make quite the statement you were going for, so here are three Epic Weapons: The Ascendant Staff, the Phosphorescent Maul and the Cerulean Edge! Like the new Mounts, these weapons are only available to purchase from the Crowns Shop for Crowns, but they can also be found on high level bosses of the Spiral!

New Outfits
Those of you who remember the old retired Crowns gear will rejoice, these two new Epic outfits are made up from very powerful items with crazy powerful stats and cards! These items DO have a level restriction on them, but any level Wizard can buy them! If you see a small lock icon on these items in the SHOP that only indicates you cannot WEAR the item now, but you can purchase it, and store it for later. Again, these items are only available to purchase from the Crowns Shop for Crowns, but they can also be found on high level bosses of the Spiral (the bosses drop the individual items, not the entire sets).

These high level additions are just the beginning of new items that will be introduced to the Crowns Shop, because a young Wizard must be prepared for things to come....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So go ahead and keep a eye for me on dem shops :P It's really awesome.

In case you're wondering where I was yesterday, I was at my house crying over the power failure. Hopefully I'll get on Wizard today XD

~Happy Wizarding!

I HATE YOU HOBOS

February 15




Another Friendship Festival EndsIt's that time of year, again, young Wizards. Time for me to pack my bags and take my leave of the Spiral until the next Friendship Festival. I'm so happy that so many piggles have found good homes this year, and have fun casting your spells with those decorative wands.I'll be here for a little longer but expect me to leave the Spiral later today. Happy Friendship Festival everyone!❤Valentina

Bye Valentina! Wave goodbye to Valentina! Bye!

Anyways in the life of Fred FirePants I have just done my first mob battle quest in Dragonspyre!
*Defeat Rotting Fodder Hobos until you obtain a Key

The problem was that Colossus Hobos kept getting in the way ;_;

I eventually got it after like five battles with two friends... we went through like 15 enemies... >.>

People must have thought I was crazy, because I kept on shouting "DARN YOU COLOSSUS HOBOS" and "DIE DIE DIE ROTTING FODDER HOBOS" and "I've got the Rotting Fodder Hobo, you get the Colossus Hobo"

For those of you that don't understand FirePantsSpeech, that means that these stupid colossus called "Rock Reavers" kept on interfering with my quest that said "Defeat Loathsome Creepers until you get the Key" by going into my battles with Loathsome Creepers. So I ended up killing alot of Colossus for nothing. Plus, I got the key after defeating like 15 925 health enemies... and I call any monster that staggers blindly like an oaf a "hobo". The Loathsome Creepers were Ghouls, so I called them Rotting Fodder Hobos. So ha.


STUPID ROTTING FODDER AND COLOSSUS HOBOS

Happy Wizarding
