Back to Jewels: Still Worth it?

1/25/2017

0 Comments

 
Hey Everyone, 

Today I bring to you my first re-vamped guide on old updates that was one of my new year's resolutions for 2017.  I am answering a question that I see many questioning: are jewels still worth it? With all of the new things going on in Wizard101, jewels aren't considered as a priority anymore, but I think they should be. Read more about what I think about jewels and why you should still use them. :)

Importance of Jewels

Yes jewels are worth it, and they are really important. There are many good jewels out there in the Spiral, you just have to put the effort toward them. A previous jewel post I wrote in August 2 years ago (Jewel Farming ) is about lots of jewels to farm for . Another place that I have found great since then is Mirror Lake . Here are some of the creatures there and what they drop. I am thinking of doing a more in-depth guide on farming Mirror Lake, not just jewels, but everything there. I'll see about it ;D

As you can see, all the creatures in this dungeon have a long list of jewel drops (that took up half my blog lol) so you have a very good chance of getting 1, 2, or even 3 jewels. 

Personal Jewel Experience

I have found that jewels have impacted my stats greatly. One of my jewels has 12 resistance to each school which majorly helps. I also have another jewel that gives 6 damage to each school! And, there's more than that! There's accuracy jewels, card giving jewels, critical jewels, and tons of other options to help out your character! 

Many others feel the same way about jewels as I do! Check out some great guides at the links below:

World Overview - My Opinion on Past & Present Questing (till my questing point)

1/18/2017

0 Comments

 
Hey everyone!

All can say that each world is different and unique; some have lots of mobs and bosses, some are relaxed and have great character development. Read my opinions on the worlds & how I like(d) the questing experience. :)

Wizard City

What's not to like about Wizard City? It's the home of Bartleby, Ambrose, and basically all wizards! Wizard City was a simple, but engaging world to quest through. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't be this far into the game!

Krokotopia

Krokotopia was the first world I encountered in that wasn't the most enjoyable. Temple of Storms, and the other long dungeons made it seem a little like a drag and repeated battles. It's not the worst, just something I wouldn't want in all worlds.

Marleybone

Marleybone, yet a long world questing-wise and walking-wise on the sidewalks (I didn't have a mount the first time I went through it) was not a favorite but a most disliked either. Marleybone had a long, but interesting story line and was a challenge for the low level wizards.

Mooshu 

Mooshu was also a very long world and had, imo, extremely long running distances if you don't have a mount. However, Mooshu was interesting and not a favorite nor least favorite. One thing I'd do KI, is make it pretty like in Pirate101. I was happy that Pirate101 showed the majestic, peaceful setting of Mooshu. I personally think it would be great to show in W101 too.

Dragonspyre

Dragonspyre I can say is one of my favorites. I didn't think it was very hard but it did have some tough fights here and there, and it's got the awesome storyline of Mallistare, one of the most interesting aspects in the game. I wouldn't mind seeing more like it.

Celestia

Celestia is not a favorite for me, not much more so than a few of the worlds coming after it. It was a lot tougher because of mob fights (though I am pretty sure that's gotten adjusted? Or is that Zafaria?) and wasn't engaging.

Zafaria

Zafaria was a repetitive world with its crazy amounts of mob fights (even though I think now it's adjusted) and took what seemed like years! It wasn't very engaging, either, mainly because the mob fights made it agrivating.

Avalon is a very pretty and interesting world. Although there are a bunch of difficult fights, it's still an amazing world and great for this time period in a wizard's journey

Azteca

And here we are at the world that I feel like I am going to be at forever- Azteca. Azteca is a huge drag and literally is never, in my opinion, going to end. Although I don't quest much, I have been here awhile if you only count the amounts of time I do quest.

Onto the side worlds! First up is Wysteria. Wysteria is a really fun world with all the flying pigs and chaos, ember, nature schools etc. I wouldn't mind another side world like it (or even an extension)

Grizzleheim & Wintertusk

Last world I will discuss today is Grizzle & Wintertusk. With its bears and cool areas (I love Wintertusk), it is definitely on the like list for me! More like it would be great too!

The reason I am not discussing about Khrysalis, Polaris, and Mirage are because I haven't been there yet and my response could change once I start questing there. However, from watching videos and reading reviews of these worlds, I think I'd most like Polaris and its wintry vibe :) 

Have a great one! See you questing around the Spiral!

New Ghulture's Hoard Pack!

1/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Hey Everyone!!

As I am having a very busy weak, I quickly checked for updates for the game, and to my surprise I came face to face with the Ghulture's Hoard Pack! The items you have a chance at getting are amazing, and I hope you found them that way too!

Mounts

Picture
These School Gulture Mounts are awesome, and each gives 40% speed bonus along with 3% damage, based on what school. I defenitely like these pack mounts a lot, and make them a great benefit of the pack! This is something anyone would aim for! 

I thought doing rates/scores would help my readers in deciding if they would like to buy the pack (although this is completely my own opinion) so here it is! The bolded word is my choice.
Great
Good
Average
Not good

Pets

Picture
Although I dread bugs (or bug type things), I can say these pets are very unique, and could make a great add to your bug pet collection :P The traits seem pretty good and these pets look like they are worth leveling, so if you want a talented bug by your side, let that be!
Great
Good

Not good

Gear  & Scimitars

Have to say, this gear is not the best pack gear I've seen. The hats have no resist and the boots have no block, which both kind of stumped me about the gear. Also, accuracy on the boots has dissapeared. Scimitars = really like, and rest of the gear = average. Nice damage though, KI, but there is a little you could add. 
Great
Good - scimitars
Average - hats, boots, robe
Not good

Furniture

Picture
I'm always up for cool new furniture and this pack has it! Ghulture's Hoard has new Mirage NPCs, which are a fabulous addition to a Nomad's Camp. As a whole, the furniture is amazing and fresh out of Mirage and will be a want for house decorators. I just love the look of Mirage & its furniture! Can't wait to get me some of this!
Great
Good
Average
Not good




I reccommend all to buy a few of these packs!

There is a 25% off your entire cart purchase (crowns, bundles, memberships and all) until January 12th 2016 at 9:30 AM US Central! If you want to buy some crowns, I suggest doing it now!! This is the perfect time to buy some crowns and get some hot items!

See all of you around the Spiral!
