Goldenbrand Challenge

I recently received a comment from Samantha Drake, a Storm wizard, working on the Goldenbrand challenge!! SO COOL! I'm not brave enough to try it out, but here are the details if you have no idea what I'm talking about. The goal of the challenge is to reach level 40 (Master wizard) without going on ANY story quests; only side-quests or dungeons. WOW. This means no potions, less experience points...and I guess the only way to get to worlds other than WC would be porting to friends...? Oh my goodness, that is quite an endeavor. I applaud those who have completed this challenge!

Now, being a STORM wizard on this challenge is FAR more difficult than usual, I'm sure! Without potions, I'd say the best way to succeed is simply to take on the Life school as a secondary. Or, just kill those monsters as fast as you possibly can, and get a few friends to help you out! I'm not an expert on the challenge, so I don't know if this is all legal... :P

Another good tactic is to repeat bosses. Some of them drop very helpful items, with higher HP and defense stats. If you are attempting the Goldenbrand challenge go for the high-health/high-defense items as often as possible. Samantha also mentioned being in possession of pets with health boosts or healing spells...these could prove to be incredibly valuable. By late spring, we can expect some new pets with cool assistance powers, which will hopefully help you guys a lot!

GOOD LUCK!!!

QUESTION ANSWERING TIME! Beating Golem Tower!

Well, I'm proud to say that I've gotten my first question! It's from...anonymous. Well, the mystery person asked what the best way to beat Golem Tower is. So, if you are unfamiliar with Golem Tower, it is in Golem Court, which branches off of the Commons in Wizard City. There are a couple quests in there (for lower levels), and you can also get your handy-dandy 'Golem Tower Champion' badge by finishing the tower!

Now, hopefully by the time you're going to the tower you'll have gotten a potion. You will absolutely need one of those if you want to get past all the floors. The first floor is one easy little golem dude. It shouldn't take too long. The next floor is a double dose of easy little golem dudes, which is a little bit less easy, but still shouldn't cause too much pain. SAVE YOUR POTION! Make sure you have as much healing as possible in your deck for these first few floors.

The next floor is stepping it up--two Clockwork Golems, who are pretty big and scary compared to the guys you just fought. It should only take a few spells to kill them, but make sure you take the time to heal yourself before finishing them off. You're saving your potion for the next floor, which is exactly the same as the last one--two Clockworks. If you aren't at full health before you enter the battle, the first thing you should do is heal.

The next floor is the last, and you'll be up against the ominous Iron Golem!!! AAAGGGHHH! But freak not, fellow Wizards--NOW you can use your potion! Use it on the floor before the Iron Golem, once you've killed the Clockworks. Open up your deck and take out most of the healing spells (leave a few, though, just in case), and replace them with heavy-hitter attacks. Finally, enter the next stage to battle the boss and his buddy (another Clockwork, ugh). Good luck!
