Jack: MALISTAIRE MAN

Guess who Jack's recently defeated? It's that lovable Death dude, Mr. Malistaire Drake! I like him better than Cyrus, to tell ya the truth. He's got great hair. Anyway, Jack is now done with the game!!! He's still level 48, however, and I'm TRYING to get him to go back and finish side quests.

Not easy, I tell ya.

Here are a couple pics!

Congratz Jack! And thanks to Amy HawkMender and Daniel Firesword--y'all rock! :D

Jack's First Orthrus Spell!

As promised, here is Jack Frost's official first Orthrus! This here's the first bark--the head on the left does that one. Check out the creepy moon up there...yikes. Jack commenting on Cyrus Drake. Adam being excited. Yep. We can cross this one off the list!

Second bark: full-fledged awesomeness!!! It sure takes a while, though. Both heads bark this time, but in this shot, it looks like the one on the left is still getting most of the action. Super-fun spell! Thanks to everyone who helped Jack out with his questing! Next (minor) speedbump: Malistaire! WE'RE COMIN' FOR YA! And so is Baby Rascal!

Join the Club, Baby Rascal!

PLEASE click on this picture to enlarge it!!!

Well, after completing a tough tower (with me walking him through it) Jack got his Orthrus spell/pet at last! :D

It's very cute, I have to say. His name is Baby Rascal, which Jack insists on keeping. He has yet to actually use the spell--screenshots coming! For any of you Conjurers in possession of Orthrus...remember Cyrus's jokes?

"Stupid demon dogs"

"Cerberus's brother"

"Two-headed cats--the natural enemies of Orthruses!!"

Oh, Cyrus. What a guy, huh? He's really the life of the party.

Anyway, can't wait till the Test Realm goes live! I'M GONNA GET ME AN EGG! The one on the Test Realm will take another 20 hours to hatch, so I'll be waiting...oh, and THANK YOU WOLF DEATHWALKER FOR SHARING YOUR WRAITH! Little Belle is gonna be so great thanks to you. I think she'll get her father's looks (Prince Shadow--fingers crossed lol).

DRAGONSPYRE TIME!!! And Character Plans!

I am pleased to announce that Jack Frost has completed Mooshu!!! He has yet to finish many side quests (from several different worlds), which I keep begging him to do, but he just wants to get to Malistaire ASAP. What can ya do?

He's almost done with the Tower Archives, and he's played it mostly without my help, since I've been working on Adam. Recently we decided to make teams of two characters each, one from each account. I will be making four characters, and he will make three. The first team is obviously Fallon and Jack (Ice and Myth). Next is Adam and Jack (Life and Myth), just because Adam has kinda been going solo while Jack finishes up his story quests, and he needs a partner in crime. Coming soon will be a Storm-Balance team and a Fire-Death team. If you have any good name suggestions, let me know! All of my characters' last names will end in 'Shade', and Jack's will be one word. Here's what I was thinking:

Storm (my next character): Scarlet SkyShade
Balance (Jack's next character): Lucas Bane
Death (my last character): Angus NightShade
Fire (Jack's last character): Patrick Dragon

Please leave some comments!! And remember, if you have any Wizard101 question, feel free to ask!

Jack Frost: Level 38, Mooshu-Finishing Time! AND Sword Collecting!

Jack recently reached Mooshu, and got to LEVEL 38! Yeah, so he didn't reach 50 by the end of that week (I know we were all expecting it), but 38's pretty good! He got caught up in parties, apparently...silly Conjurers...but anyway, he's learned Minotaur and Minotaur Minion, and he is SO excited for Earthquake!



Now, lately I've been building up my sword collection--that's right, you know the swords you can win from bosses and such? Not athames, but wands! The ones I'm after are those that do 100 damage. Here is the list of bosses that drop these swords (most of 'em are in the Drake Hatchery/Labyrinth, so be sure to stop by those areas next time you hit Dragonspyre).



Giant Homonculus: Drake Hatchery--Longblade of the Homonculus, Ice

Avalanche: Drake Hatchery--Avalanche's Legendary Cutlass, Myth

Valeska Redwind: Drake Hatchery--Redwind's Viridian Blade, Life

Vladimir Darkflame: Labyrinth--Dean Darkflame's Cleaver, Fire

The Hoarder: Drake Hatchery--Shockblade of the Hoarder, Storm

Ivan Soulsinger: Drake Hatchery--Soulsinger's Soulsword

Property Master: Labyrinth--Sword of the Steward

Here's some tips for farming these guys:

1. With Avalanche, Soulsinger, and the Homonculus, JUST KEEP FARMING!! Bring some friends too--even when you have friends farming with you, the drop rate of whatever boss you're fighting is not lowered. After one round, check your loot, and if you're low on health, mark at the instance, go back to the Atheneum and fill up your mana/potion. Then you can sell the loot you collected and head right on back! Oh, and quick side note: these three bosses are all the same type as the sword they drop.

2. For the Hoarder...she's Balance, unlike the Storm sword she drops. She enjoys walking around the upper part of the Drake Hatchery, so after you kill her once, you'll have to either wait until she respawns, or you could switch realms. It took my friends and I a pretty long time to get her sword, but if this happens to you, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED! It's an awesome sword, so it's worth waiting for. Plus, you can get some great extra loot to either wear or sell!

3. I already own the swords of everyone in the Drake Hatchery (except Valeska), partly because they're the easier ones to farm, and partly because I haven't had the patience to get through the Labyrinth a billion times. I have done it twice, however (with Jack), and this is what I discovered: almost every single boss in the Labyrinth drops a sword. The Property Master and Vladdy drop the 100-damage ones, but most of the others drop those 95/90-damage swords. HOORAY! In fact, Jack got the Saber of the Gallium Paladin, which happens to be a Myth sword. Okay, so the Property Master is Life, and Darkflame is Death. I happen to really like Vladdy's sword, so I'm hoping I get it SOOOON!

4. Valeska Redwind. My arch-nemesis, I think. In a past life. Or something. I know hate is a strong word...so I'm not gonna use it. I've actually only fought Valeska once, on the Dragonspyre quest to defeat her. Yeah, you can guess how that went...didn't get the sword. :( But seriously, I want that Life sword!!! The tower is kind of excruciating, so try it out with a friend or two (a Diviner or Theurgist if possible--you guys know I love you). Valeska is Myth, which is kinda.............weird? I strongly dislike this lady, but I'll probably like her more once I kill her a few times. And get her sword. That would be mighty fine.

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!

New friend

I wanted to wish a warm welcome to my good friend Jack Frost! He just started playing Wizard101, and he is a level 6 Conjurer! You might see one of my characters running around doing quests with him. Say hi!

A feature I wanted to discuss was the 'Best Friends' feature. If you click on the star next to a name on your friends list, the star will fill in and the name will go to the top of the list. This is so you can always know when that 'best friend' is online. Also, their name will appear light purple on-screen! Now that is fantastic.

Btw, Jack Frost says "Hi." He really has a way with words, huh?
