Flying away by Jack Frost

If you have your own house, you might see people fly off the edge of your property. To do this, walk to the edge of your island. Go to your options menu and turn off full-screen mode. On the top left corner of your screen, next to where it says "Wizard101," there should be the little spiral Wizard101 symbol. Start to walk, and click and hold the symbol. Keep walking. You won't see yourself walk off, but others will. You'll go right off into the sky!

My friend told me this great motto: when life gives you lemons, make grape juice, then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it.

Smith hints from Jack Frost

I know that the Smiths are a big quest in Wizard City, so I wanted to give a couple hints, as I recently finished finding them. This is Jack Frost, btw--I'll be giving hints on certain quests throughout the blog. Oh, and guess what? I'm level 13 now. Yeah, I'm pretty cool.

The Smiths quest is given by Prospector Zeke in the Commons. It gets you lots of good prizes, including a Training Point. Smiths are tiny little men in bright red shirts, with black hats and moustaches. They are usually near points of interest. Here are the location hints.

RAVENWOOD: This guy likes to hang out near a bench by a huge point of interest.
THE COMMONS: He loves the Fairegrounds, but hides from wizards playing minigames.
GOLEM COURT: Just check along the outer rim of the Court, he's basically in the plain sight.
UNICORN WAY: It's a long walk to reach him. He loves to watch the fairies.
SHOPPING DISTRICT: Look behind the buildings.
COLOSSUS BOULEVARD: He keeps watch over the biggest point of interest, at the very end of the Blvd.
FIRECAT ALLEY: Quinn's best friend lives there, and the Smith lives right outside.
TRITON AVENUE: No teleporter necessary. He stands out of the bustle, near the waterfalls.
CYCLOPS LANE: Instead of playing in Festival Park, he is nearby in a grassy area.
OLDE TOWN: He keeps Sylvia Drake's best friend company.

Hope these hints help, and keep on searching!

Briskbreeze Tower: the ultimate level fifty challenge!

Grandmasters: this one goes out to you.
Briskbreeze Tower: get ready.

Really hard? Yes. Impossible? No way. Annoying? Completely.

People die in there. But they always come back for more. I call it the Briskbreeze Addiction.

So, my advice: make sure you have four people, because those bosses aren't gonna be any easier on you if there's only three. I would suggest taking along a friendly Theurgist, and if you are a Theurgist, take along a friendly Diviner (or two).

Here's the scoop. Ten floors. Two bosses. Cheating *gasp*

But the good news is, the floors that do not include bosses have four Dragonspyre-level monsters that do not cheat, so hopefully they will not be too much of a nuisance.

Now, the bosses...they're an entirely different story. The first boss is fire, so ice grands, load your decks. The problem with him is his minion, the devious Exploding Ember. Just kill him, please. He's a crazy one. If you let him sit until he gets four pips, BOOOOOM! He blows up with an enormous Meteor Strike. 10,000 damage for everyone. Goody. Another of this boss's secrets is his mysterious Meteor Strike, which does off-the-charts damage as well. Plus he can do it with no pips. Make sure you've got a couple good wards.

The final boss is death. What a cliche. But anyway, he has the same little Meteor Strike trick. He also has a devastating Heckhound that does over 500 damage a turn!!! Wow! He can summon three minions with 1500 HP each, but I think he can only do that once (hopefully). None of them are Exploding Embers, so don't worry about that. A good trick for both of the bosses is a fire dispel. If you can learn it, use it, and use it often.

Just remember, it's not impossible. I am a survivor. And it is definitely not a waste of time (I scored more than 10,000 gold selling all the loot! Whoopee!)
