Find Buddy's Coins! - Week 1

Apparently Buddy the Leprechaun has misplaced his piles of gold coins.

There's 8 piles missing and each one looks like the one in the banner above.

And with each pile, there's a part of a code. If you find the right four parts of the code

and put them in the correct order, you can win a code prize!

They can be found in this BLOG (http://starsofthespiral.blogspot.com).. Not Starsofthespiral.com

They could be anywhere in any of my blog posts.

There are two codes hidden among those piles. They are both a gold rush code (which includes 1 Gold Kirin Mount, 1 Gold Wyvern Mount, 5000 Gold Pieces, 5000 Crowns, 1 Sun Palace House, 1 Hatching Elixir, 1 Additional Castle Elixir, 1 Major Gold Elixir. And a chance of either pet: Death Leprechaun, Myth Leprechaun, Leprechaun, Lucky Leprechaun) or a code for a Viridian Scepter wand!

Hope you find the right four parts for the best prize!

Btw, don't forget to keep trying those codes at Wizard101.com since that'll be your only way of knowing if you actually did it right. Good luck to you all!

Nightsong won the Gold Rush pile of amazing loot

Darkwing won the Viridian Specter

Cody Raventhorn's New Glitch House

Before Cody was finished with the whole area

While me and Chris Darkflame aka Sierra Mist were playing a quick game of PvP, Cody did this trick to us. We were baffled at how he did the lightning above our heads.

After the PvP, Cody told us to go under the arena via his transporters to find out how...

Wow.. Endless Lava, but it goes nowhere.. 

Nope, not there.. 

GASP... POTS!!! He floated pots under the arena. Then he was able to put garden spells on the pots which showed the effects above. What a clever boy right?

His arena as completed. It's so pretty. Its in the Red vs Blue theme.

And I was telling him that it's funny that the colors blue and red has so many meanings.

Boys, Girls

Hot, Cold

Fire, Water,

Yin, Yang,

Summer, Winter,

Team A, Team B..

etc etc.

He turned to me and said, "how the heck did you think up those things?"

Well, that's my brain for you. ;)

I hope Cody Raventhorn inspired you all to do glitches you never done or heard of before.

Be safe in the Spiral, bring those bug sprays with you always,

you never know when Morganthe's spiders will pop back up again.

W101 Poetry - "The Cinderella and the King"

As I recline on the snow tops of the Himalayan,
the world as my blue and green throne,
I watch a bitter Cinderella isolate the light,
leaving the world in darkness.

I compose myself
as I sense the day of reckoning coming
and I decide the fate of the world is due,
sending out my best lifter.

As Ichabod scopes out the spot
where the world's most prized jewelry hide
deep within the world's chest,
his hands shake with anticipation.

And in my royal name,
the contrite but bold fellow
pinches the locket of starlight with easy haste,
dropping it in my ring jeweled hand.

The sky is subdued and quiet
as my feet sinks into the
marvelous and luxurious carpet of green
and a smile appears on my smug yet serene face.

I dig deep to the magician
that dwells deep within me
which slept for thousands of years
and I unleash it with none of the unease.

The days of heaven are filled
with agonized trembling
when the inner heart of
the locket of starlight is revealed.

As I let the magic of the heart whirl in my hand,
it explodes the world into submission,
and shocking Cinderella's deepest senses,
ushering the world into a new era.

The shadows lynched in one fell swoop
and within a single tear of apology from the bitter queen,
the world began anew with its mistakes wiped clean
and given a second chance.

Pirate101 Poetry - "Shake The Sky"

The Armada will shake the sky,
the cannonballs flying by,
into the fray we will fly,
to them we'll say goodbye.

Their plot we will break,
our power will tremble,
the swords will ring out
a sweet song of freedom.

Here we'll make our stand,
we'll stay until the end
and every one of them
crumbles into sand.

This is a brand new Wizard101 animated furniture. The coin keeps being dropped into the piggly bank.

Also brand new as well.

And lastly.. The Ninja Pig Costume!

Ship Decoratin': Our Home Away From Home

We might have ship parts to make our ship, but what about furniture for our ship,

especially on the deck? There are tons of ideas of how we can make the ship cooler on deck when our friends comes to visit us and sails with us. The opportunities are endless!

Ship & Ship Part Crafting

Along with gear crafting, I hope we get to craft ships and ship parts.

There would be so many different styles and ships that you could make. For instance a burning ship, a frost ship, a ship with many oars sticking out of their hull or a ship that's covered with moss and vines. It also would be cool if we could slap on "wallpaper" on our ships' hulls, Valentine's Day ship "wallpaper" would make our ship's hull covered with hearts for example.

Decorating The Ship

So can you imagine what if we could decorate the decks of our ship?!

I would love to put an telescope on my deck, a spinning globe stand, table with maps, a barrel with swords in it, coils of rope, anchor laying around. Maybe a few cannons next to the sigil for a good measure.
Or have the ability to add more cannons on the main floor. Heaps of gold and a gold chest would fit in beautifully.


Walking The Plank

I also would love to have a literal plank on the ship when I am on my ship. This way people can just walk on it and press X to jump off it which will let them land on their own ship. If no ship are equipped, it will ask you which ship you want to go to (equip). It would be more fun lol.




Where Our Desk and Bed Be!

Also I hope someday they will open the Captain's Quarters which is a room within the ship
where we can go to and decorate which will be our ship's office.
I can imagine decorating it using the Marleybone's theme. Nice beautiful sofas, desks, chairs, windows with curtains (Hey I'm a girl, so :P) and small things that'd make this office amazing.
Spinning world stand, map table, telescope, heaps of gold and treasure chests. Can you imagine it?

Companions on Deck!

It would be cool if we could go to the bottom floor of the ship and watch our companions manning the cannons. Ahoy Me Hearties, FIREEEE THE CANNONS!

Subodai: "I don't think I like cannons. I'm better with a sword..." *palms face*

After all where do they all go when I steer the wheel? This makes the most sense. I would love to stop my ship and be able to go downstairs and watch them there. Maybe we can promo them here too than having to go to a tavern.

Have a great Valentine's Day, Pirates!

Wizard101's Azteca Blocked Zones Crown Compensation

The Situation From Wizard101.com's Message Boards:

(Click on the photos to make them larger)

Read them at: https://www.wizard101.com/forum/messageBoard/listPosts/game/8ad6a4193caee39b013cb558c9343c79

The Explanation in Short:

There were quite a bit of players who could not progress in game because they could not move through Azteca properly and were blocked from zones inside of that world. For quite a while, Wizard101 tried to fix that problem, but alas Morganthe's spiders really put quite a web in their coding. It really gummed up their system, so it took a bit of time to track down the problem and then be able to fix it. 

So in return, Wizard101 has compensated players who were blocked with 30,000 Crowns. If you did not receive any crowns, it means that you did not have this problem. If you did receive crowns, it is not because you finished Azteca or there were a glitch or you were hacked.

My Concern:

Now I have been noticing a trend that should not be happening. I notice that there were some not so nice comments on Wizard101 Facebook wall or in other discussions on other sites about being upset about this issue.

I hope you all know that Kingsisle is working very hard to make the community happy, but it is impossible to make EVERYONE happy. But I am sure all of you have been one of the recipients of their generosity at least once in the past.

Here are the most recent examples:

1. Deer Knight Refund - They were happily refunding anyone who spent crowns on the pack that wouldn't drop the Deer Knight spell. They also gave out a free trained Deer Knight spell on top of that.

2. Skyvern Packs - They gave everyone Skyvern packs when their own free Birthday Pack item glitched.

3. Azteca Zone Problem - They gave everyone who were blocked crowns.

Now, have you guys thought that if you gave negative feedback, this wonderful generosity would end? If KI is happy, they will feel like giving out more after this. But if they are not, this could change. This is all about Karma. What you give out, you receive. After all, would you want to give someone something free if they gave out nasty comments to you or etc? No, you would not.

If you thought the amount of crowns given was quite excessive, that's up to Kingsisle how much to give. They know best how much should be given. Generosity does not have any limits. But again, think about this.. If you complain and post not so nice comments about that, what if next time they reduce the amount and you received it? That's Karma. What you give, you receive. So be wise and careful about what you say. You should instead be happy for others and be grateful that you are in this amazing generous community! This is amazing for Kingsisle to do and they deserve a big Thank You whether you received crowns or not. This says a lot about the company. Would you want to play for a generous company like theirs or a company that is not? That's something you got to think about!

Please think twice before commenting and always read the post that was made carefully before asking questions. There is no need to be rude. Please try to be polite and respectful. It's okay to be upset, but please be polite about it. After all this game is not about free crowns, it's about playing a fun game. Let's not let that blind you from that. And remember whatever you say puts pressure or can possibly hurt whoever is answering and reading from Kingsisle. I hope you are being considerate of them as well.

How To Comment -

No - "I HATE KINGSISLE, THEY ARE NOT GIVING ME ANY CROWNS, NOT FAIR!"

Yes - "Aw, others are lucky, they got crowns, I did not. Oh well. Thank you Kingsisle anyway for fixing this bug!"

Again you should be grateful that they have been so generous to you in the past and will might continue in the future. They are trying so hard to make sure everyone has a bug free experience while playing this wonderful game! Can you imagine being in their shoe and trying to make millions of players happy? WHEW!!! They deserve a pat on the back, don't you think?

A Surprise Gift from Wizard101 UK

Thanks to Emy Anemalok, the very lovely Community Manager of Wizard101 UK, she has given a Sheep pet to all Official W101 UK Fansites including my own. Its birth name is Madame Moose. Don't worry, I will change that to just Moose soon. He's very much a male sheep to me. Thank you so much Emy! It's an incredible honor to be given one. I have told her that I will be giving Moose a hug everyday and a chocolate candy. :D I can't wait to travel all over with my little buddy, oh the adventures we will have together!

So, I know a lot of you are curious about the Sheep Pets and the little cute things about it that you would know if you owned it such as how does it dance in the pet training games, can you dye it?, what does its pet page look like? etc etc..

Well here's your answers!

So which color should I dye the pet with? Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Purple, Blue, Black, Gold, White? It's overwhelming. I can't pick, can you help? Put your favorite color below in the comments. Thank you!
