Who needs Celestia...

...when you've got an Ianthine Spectre!

That's right! You heard it hear first folks. I finally got me and Ianthine!

Thanks to my friend for taking the time to farm with me over, and over, and over, and over again.

So, Celestia pre-quests are out on the test realm? I started doing it, but then I decided that I just want to wait till it goes live and enjoy it then. In the mean time, I am going to work on: more farming, pet leveling, and leveling Lenora and Nora.

Peace in the Spiral

Alia, Destiny, I agree.

You know what? It's just time to stop.

I'm not ever going to use this word again. Noob.

Nah. It's not necessary. And it's hurtful.

If I feel like it maybe I will call my younger wizards 'newbies' which is much nicer.

(But what is a noob? 1. Newbie. Inexperienced player. 2. Also used as a term reproach by some most.)

It's mean. Let's stop.

The Code Word

This morning Kevin and I were chatting (mostly about Petnome) and he said this:

(click to enlarge)

And because I am an old movie geek I totally thought How to Steal a Million. I would have got you a clip of the "togetherness" scene but I could not find one on YouTube. (I did find this video but it's really long. But if you feel like it fast-forward to about 12:33.)

So I made a little picture.

Yes, it's Peter O'Toole. It's a really good movie Audrey Hepburn is in it too, and it's directed by William Wyler! What happens is, they're in Paris and Audrey's dad...

Uh... Maybe you should just watch it.

Anyway, do you guys think we need more "togetherness"? ;)

Milestone

Lord Tucker the mustard troll made it to ancient yesterday evening! I am so happy! It was a ton of minigames.

He now gives me the card Yellow Troll. Looks pretty sweet.

Next pet on the path to ancient: Lifebat. Rice Whispies! Nom, nom, nom.

My 'weekend'

On Thursday and Friday I had no rehearsals. So I got some ITS time! I went pet farming. I got a Life Scarab, a Dire Ghoul, a Red Banshee, and a Pixie Queen.

Also there was some pet leveling,

an 48 hybrid attempt by me and Bailey (no luck), and a couple of Mali runs.

I had a lot of fun! :)

Can You Bake a Pie?

Hiya everyone. I just wanted to let you know that right now I am going into crunch time for my show (we open on Saturday!) and this means I will be spending my time rehearsing and baking for my show. Yeah. Baking! Long story...
So don't fret if you don't see me in the spiral for a week or so. I'm just busy smashing watermelons. Another long story...

Get it? Got it. Good.
See you in a bit!

Life Pets

My collection of pets is growing. Now I have a Life troll,

and a life bat too.

I want to work on leveling the life bat, but my brain is saying "Whatever Heather. No more dance game for you."

So I'm going to take a break for a while. Maybe... ;)

~Heather

They're Grrrrrrreat!

My new favorite food ever.

AmbrOs!

I love these snacks because they increase you're pet's evenly.

Also I have a lot of myth pets, and they all like them. :)

I highly recommend them for your pets.

~Heather

Gobble, gobble, gobble

I won a gobbler pet! Yes! Thank you so much Valerian! I got my gobbler pet based on a good tip I sent in. Want to hear it? Okay here goes:

  "Okay so I have a pet tip. When you want to level up your pet, try to get on early in the morning and play mini-games till your energy runs out, then go about your chores or work/school. When you come back your energy will be back and you can proceed with pet leveling! :)"

And now I have Bubba!

Bubba is so cute! In a disgusting sort of way...

Vs.

2,500 crowns,

OR

2,500 crowns.

What do you think? And which would you pick?

The Petnome Project

Ah what to say about the Petnome Project? It was created by the brilliant Kevin BattleBlood. It's a database designed to track abilities in pets. This project will help the community so much! By looking at this database we will be able to determine:

• What pets we want to farm for
• What pets we want to level
• What pets we want to hatch an egg with
• What pets we want to race in the derby
• What pets we want to battle with

"Ewwww, 'database' sounds hard!" Actually it's fairly simple. There are only three data related questions that you have to type, the rest are multiple choice. Then your name and email. That's it! You don't even have to remember anything, just bring up the game in a window and copy the data into the form!

(Parents, this would be a great way to teach your kids a little practical knowledge on databases without boring them to death! Heck you don't even have to get into the Mendel-like theories of hatching!)

"But I have a ton of pets. Entering them all will take forEVER!" Okay then just enter when your pet levels up and you get new talents and derby skills. It's not a lot but if everyone who plays Wizard101 did entered those talents into the database every time a pet leveled up, we would be so far ahead!

Friendly and Kevin have teamed up and are now holding a little contest if you enter data. Gobbler pets are prizes! But if you beat me for the prize, I'll whup you at Derby. Just sayin'. :P

So what are you waiting for? Go enter data! PETNOME FOR THE WIN!!!

An Eventful Day

Yesterday was very eventful.

My Mustard Troll made it to Teen.

(Then this morning he got to adult too!)

Then there was Ravenwood Radio live. With an awesome Study Hall with MythSpent Youth! It makes me want to create another myth wizard! :D

Then of course there was an after party.

Amber showed us the Myth tower trick.

Then Jessica and I went and farmed the Jade Oni.

Then we went to Leesha's house to see her flock of piggles! (I like a "wiggle of piggles" better though.)

Here I am showing off my new Queen Spider and my new frosty outfit.

Then Stephen, via Kevin, asked to get a screenshot with me!

I nearly fainted! I mean. WOW! I like my outfit, but I didn't know Steve would!

Well... Back to farming I guess. :)

Celestia Sneak Peek

KI just made a video with their local news. In it they show a wizard walking around IN celestia! Watch it a couple of times and tell me what you think.

I don't think we are going to swim. :( But it looks pretty awesome!

Ms. Evil

Hey everyone! How do you like the new template? Sorry about not being able to read the title, I'm working on a header.

Anyway, today I had a day off! It was nice because I had to work this weekend. So I decided, today is farming day!

First order of bussiness, get me a crab pet! So I take the alts of doom (Kestrel and my real-life friend's ice wizard,) and head on over to the Crazed Forest Spirit. It takes us a long time but my friend gets one! So we farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. Nada. He didn't even get another one. Grrrrrr!

Then we decide that all this farming would go a lot faster if he had some/all of his Grandmaster gear. So off to Snowcrusher, who was suprisingly lenent with us and gave up his boots after a few quick battles. So we head off to Yeva Spiderkeeper. We spend hours farming and get nothing! No nice new pet, no hat. Just a lot of Storm shoes, which I already have and things I can't use. GAH! SHE IS SO EVIL! So I take a break. I come back and in a few battle I have two Queen Spider pets and my friend has his hat. Woot! I will never farm Ms. Evil again! At least not for a while....

So now I'm back to farming the Crazed Forest Spirit. Nothing as yet. I will let you know when I get one! :)

Good luck with any farming you guys might be up to!
