samoorai pet!

new pet in the crowns shop:

weighing in at a hefty 7500 crowns, he is an investment for sure.

first time since 2009, pets and spiral cupping

well the other day something occured to me, i remembed this part of a commerical of wizard101 in 2009 i saw where it showed a hydra and then 3 dragon heads on a wall.

It made it seem like you killed the hydra and took its heads, or thats at least what i thought they were trying to say. well anyways the dragon heads were a free furniture thing you could get in the crucible until a recent update where you could get a bunch of furniture in the crowns shop. so this was a limit 1 item so it was impossible to do what it showed in the commerical but now you can, so i dunno just a cool thing i found.

in other news i finally got a pet to epic and i must say the turtle came out of great:

for some reason it shows the pips last, but i actually got the spell proof at epic and that was awesome, because i just wanted a pet with spell proof and sprite and that i got it at epic made the reward all the more rewarding.

finally i tried some of wysteria and it was a fun little experience, and i would say my greatest experience there was talking with the hypocritical teacher:

xD i laugh every time i read that! ah that makes my day.

and finally i found this new furniture item in the crown shop, a krokotopian mummy and stand:

1,650 crowns

6,250 gold

he is taller then me i:

well thats all for now,

Housing item of the Day: decorative gong

so i'd seen lots of hub bub about the violin and stand, but i had seen no publicity for the decorative gong, and i really liked it, its like a gold gong, i mean come on! so anyways i set about crafting this and oddly enough, for me the hardest part was getting 40 fire blossoms, those are very rare in the bazaar and you need 15 lava lilies just to make one, so that was annoying. but in the end, i got rewarded with a nice gong:

yea so i got that done, and then here is me and my friend brian spamming the noise xD

yea so a funfilled day :D

happy deducting everybody,

finally joined connectX

well i finally joined Diary of a Wizard connectX, i dont know why i didn't do it earlier, but hey they past is the past and i am here now so yea. anyways my name is crusader matt ;) you know how i love crusading and all, either verbally or into an dungeon. and on a side note i made a tower thing out of bout 30 electric meter boxes:

i am not sure what to call it.

oh well, happy deducing

mount ideas 2: gems, jewels, stones and ores/ingots

Ok so a new idea for mounts is the equipment for mounts would have slots for a vairety of things. the mane would have 1-2 slots, the saddle 2-3, the helm 0-1 and the hoove shoes wouldn't have any and the objects that could be put in these would be classified 4 different kinds: gems, jewels, stones and ingots. gems would serve the purpose of increasing any of your various pools, meaning your health pool, your mana pool or occasionally your energy pool. jewels would target strength and accuracy stats and occasionally resistance stats. these two kinds would generally be the most expensive kind of slot item. then stones would increase a random 2 stats but would be cheaper. and finally ores would be similar to stones but more expensive and would have the ability to purify into a ingot which would cost a  fee but be far better.

sorry i don't have time to make an illustration of the slot items but i will try and get one out by monday!

In other news my charger for my computer isn't working so i am forced to write this on my dad's tiny computer.

ps. sorry i couldn't make the party vanessa i was out of the house all day yesterday D:

WE GOT PIE YO!

PIE! HAS! FINALLY! ARRIVED! WOOHOO!

and other cool furniture too! such as krok statues, hat stands ( the economical mannequin ), broken stuff (not too excited about), robes stands, suitcases and mostly importantly More Pie!

Mounts: an idea enyclopedia

So as of now mounts are simply a way to travel distances quicker they all have the same standard boost of speed of 40% [( in exception to one day rentals which go half that speed), there are also mounts owned by KI staff which go 100% speed but nobody can get those... except KI].  so here is what i propose to the world, a mount purchasee gets a mount at baby that would give a 20% movement speed increase, but could be trained up to 65%. training would be similar to pet training with stats and such but there would also be a few key differences, 1. mounts have equipment slots for their head, mane, saddle and hooves. they would have a skill tree that lead to different aspects, such as capability to perform underwater, tighter turns and higher endurance. the reason for all this is because i figured since pets can come with you into battle why not mounts? the mounts would increase your health, stats and have rare armor to collect for them. i made a sample of what a mount could be like if this were to happen:

i know its pretty bad (the picture) but bare with me.

so waht do you guys think? and tell me if i should change the backround, i know i have had it for 6-7 months.

i'm back!

alright i am back guys! i know it may seems that i am joining right now when blogging is popular or something but i am back because i have a hunch something big is gonna come out in the next month or two. i am thinking a new main storyline world!

wow it has been a long time since i made a blog post! since i last posted CLhousing, Wintertusk, level 58 pets, level 35 and 55 spells, Wintertusk themed crafting, additional housing recipes, Wintertusk clothing, more Arena gear, the waterworks, level 60 gear, and ... i think that's it!

phew

well its good to be back and even though i haven't been posting, make no mistake, i have been playing: here is a picture of my myth guy with his current gear and stats:

click to make bigger if you want to look at them (like really look O: )

tell me if you like the whole overlapping stats thing i did there or your opinions on any aspect of my blog.

And that picture reminds me, i LOVE the new wand stitching i have thought about it in the past but didn't think it was gonna happen.

stay tuned till next post where i share an update idea to some familiar creatures we all take for granted.

happy new years (one day late!)

yes i can hardly believe its already 2011, but its not like i can put back time (i'm not zilean ok!?!) geez anyways comment below describing your new years celebrations, (if you had any)
sorry it was a short post.

presents presents oh how i love thee presents

yes, what kid does not enjoy december-time presents? whether it be Christmas presents on the 25th or Hanukkah presents spread out over the course of the month? or the kwanza celebration i am not aware of? yes, i think there is something very primal about kids getting stuff. just some pondering, i got 3 cool games this christmas, plus the epic card (finally!!!!!!!!!!!) interestingly enough, i got a E rated game, a T rated game and a M rated game, so some pretty decent variety. got some other stuff too, but its not really worth mentioning. but my sister got this fun game called apples to apples, and it was quite fun, me and my cousin joined in as well as my uncle and it was silly but intuitive, if that makes sense. not much more to discuss, i am slowly progressing through gardening, having my myth at lvl 5 currently. i really like fly traps and trumpet vines btw, anyways gtg.

happy deducing,

woah i have been gone a while....

well its been like two weeks or something, but i have just about finished off my trip in florida and shall be returning to my home state of _____ ( well you know its not florida, so you only got 49 to choose from ) well merry Christ-mas (more Christ in Spanish to english translation) <-- jk for all you people out there that could somehow get offended. so anyways i hope you had a eh to fabulous year ( rating of 5 or higher [eh = 5]) and uh hopefully (if your like me) you will have a better year next. i have been cut short because it is 11:30 and my parents are saying sleeping more instead of less when your sick is better ( which i am btw )

happy deducing

Grow your own boxer shorts!

Lol that will be explained on later on in the post. but for now! i am going steadily through gardening (currently
at lvl 3 apprentice) and it is quite fun, and since my last post random objects have been put in my garden, these items have special properties that are like steroids for certain plants. all the hype about secret furniture is quite correct! So, after seeing Arlen's comment, i went to central and saw that nearly all the furniture has been found! 23 items already known, so i found a select few that will be causing me to farm for them (the other, older kind of farming) some of these include the water mole statue, stellar protector statue and the large willow tree just for shiggles. So, i have been trying to mix League of Legends with Wizard101 but it has been difficult, with sleep, homework, work, schoolwork, eating, schoolwork, sleeping and schoolwork did i mention i have a lot of school work?! Speaking of school, my friend Wiley is gonna start playing W101 finally! but he told me this thing at school and it wasn't so bad, since all he said was "Hey Mat, go on Google and search Define: Kaster" and then i did it and O.o it was scarring/creepy as hell.

But onto a happier subject, i went over to my cousin's house today to open presents since we are going to florida soon and so we wanted to have our relatives in town have a pre-christmas party. So i got some pretty cool things including some wrap-around tron earmuffs, some beast black slippers which bottoms adjuct to your foot, and some other cool things. i know your probably saying "well matt those things are all good and well but where are the video games and electronics?!!?! this is the 21st century i think!" Well, i am getting all that jazz in florida. So about the Title of this Post, it was one of the things i got, and i will try to find a picture on the internet to give you an idea:
found it exactly!

yes, aren't they magical? indeed you just but them in water and then they are shorts! you just put them in fire and then they are ash :D just kidding 'bout that last part of course but yes that would happen.


hmm i can't recall anything more to say so until next time

happy deducing


wait no!one more thing   lol you only need to watch about half of that video to get the idea.
the one more thing is this: i got a book as one of my presents and i will show you exactly what it is, it is by the guy who made the percy jackson series and the red pyramid series both of which are excellent, and this book supposedly returns to Camp Half-Blood:

now for real!

happy deducing,

Housing item of the day: Marleybonian driller

yes everyone has seen those cool drillers in the Celestian base camp, and most have wanted them as furniture items, but today it is a reality! when i ported to my long time housing rival/ best friend, i saw some more interesting CL drops including, but not limited to brain coral, a strange celestian fern that was like a peacock's tail feathers and this driller! it was so amazing! unfortunately he had to go soon so i didnt get the chance to take a picture but i told him i really liked it and he said he had two of them so he was willing to auction one to me, and i was really happy and i thanked him a bunch and then we went to the  bazaar. well it turned out to be quite expensive; 5925 gold to be exact, but it was well worth it! so i immediately got a funny idea involving it. so here is "woody" drilling into my mooshu ground looking for resources:

(click make bigger!)

we shall just have to wait and see what woody discovers!

in  other news, i have heard some rumors that may be true coming from both a fellow blogger and a friend who's name shall remain anonymous that certain items placed next to plants are "secret" likes and can speed up both the time between stages of plant life and shorten the time between harvests. i shall make a controlled experiment so see if this is true with 2 boom shrooms, and expect by next post whether or not this is fact or mumbo jumbo!
until next time,

happy deducing,

PS. oops! i forgot to tell you who the drill was from, i believe he said it was from selenor in the lunarium but i will have to confirm this.


 Edit: it has been confirmed to come from mythraya and cuthalla as well!

Capable houses

well it appears some houses are more capable of gardening then others, for when i started gardening in my small mooshu home, i could only plant 10 things, but in my DS home only 5 plots or seeds can be planted total:

(click make bigggggger!)


and then in my Myth House it has space for 100 gardening spots! this is such a variety i thought it must be a bug or just down right strange.

bizarre huh?
further investigations of the other houses is obviously needed, which i will do for the most part unless someone has information on a house.

another few house just to get more comparison information is the oasis camp, MB large house, Balance house and the Wooded cottage. Here are their information in that order:

oh wait nvm, my storm guy hasnt started gardening yet so i cant show you those stats. i will prolly post it up next time, until then,

happy deducing,

hmm intriguing

well currently i haven't seen a single rank 9 or 10 plant in existence, whether it be in the bazaar on a boss drop or anywhere. post if you have any speculation, ideas or actual plants you have seen of the rank 9 or 10 variety. sorry this was a short post!

happy deducing,

a pity but also good! gardening comes to the live realm

well i finally was able to buy some venus fly traps today, and to think i was gonna get a montrous amount of xp from my large garden, because nearly all of it was almost elder. but enough reminiscing! we are gonna have celestian furniture (:D) and gardening and what i learned is that in order to keep it under control its gonna be like this:
my garden  < 8 plants

for you younger readers this means that i will have less then 8 plants in my garden at all times. yes, it does mean i wont have an epic garden and gain 3 levels every time i harvest, but if i scale too big i know i will be wasting my time, energy and house space for a load of wilting/dead plants.
 i think one last picture of my garden is due:

See you tomorrow guys! i know i am going on briefly before school to get started!

Ahhhhh! the garden is overpowering me!

well i logged on this morning and found lots of commotion, lots of whining and lots of pests (normal by now), and even after draining out 65 energy (the last 5 didn't refill in time from last night), i still had several plants with one ONLY one need not taken care of, and i fear for the worst. but it is easy to revive wilting plants because all you do is give them what they want and then they go back to young adult. and  the plants that are getting closer to elder are my priority because then i have less to take care of. yes my strategy is increasingly more risky but, eh this is the test realm, where spending 30,000 gold and about 500 pet energy over the course of a week is OK! btw one of my boom shrooms is broken:

click to make bigger!

i noticed that even though i could harvest it indefinitely, it only gave me 15-50 gold and either red mandrake or deep mushroom and NO experience. After about 30 harvests i got bored and ported to Dakota hence the small garden in the background. when i came back, the shroom was fixed and wasn't darker colored like it was when it was spamming harvest.

This gardening is turning into a gamble

well all my things are now adult, and while 90% of my plants get what they want, i am wondering if soon some plants are going to die or something. i am wondering if i can outlast their death by having some turn elder and then lowering the amount of plants to tend for. this is a gamble, because i am betting some of the rank 2 and 3 plants are more sensitive and probably die faster. well we will just have to see how this turns out. i haven't been able to harvest anything at a mature stage yet except boom shrooms and honey sickles. even though i have harvested 3 sickles, 4 shrooms, 2 laugh-o-dils, and 2 bread trees  for a total of 43 exp, it didn't even change the bar of experience, so i am starting to get daunted by it. here is a picture of my daunting garden:

thats all for today guys, leave a comment describing your gardening or why you dont garden and why you dont like it or something i dunno.

happy living, (as well as deducing)



ps. i saw that when i harvested one of my honey sickles it gave me another sickle, and while this wouldn't be strange at all, it had some strange likes:

 strange huh?

hmm server maintenance for some reason

well there was a server maintenance, i didnt notice much difference afterwards, except that the plants who liked to go slightly off the pots were easier to give plant spells. well not much else, i am waiting in excitement for my garden to mature, most of it is mature now, just needs a while to harvest.

and i can almost make the crab claw statue, which is one of my favorite released CL furniture items, just need a little bit more sunstone, so if you wanna farm Tots with me for that sunstone feel free! post a time and place to meet bye guys
