Gnissa And Searching For Spiders

Gnissa Farming Results
I decided to farm Gnissa in Savarstaad pass/Grizzleheim ( my standard 100 farms ) as its said she drops spider pets.  Gnissa is a myth boss with 800 health, her minion is an ice webwood creeper.
Gnissa is a bit of a tricky boss to farm as first you have to catch her,  you can find her inside a hollow log,  surrounded by webwood creeper spiders close to Skathi and Wildroot. Also, Gnissa does not show up on the map,  her location is labelled on the map below,  the green teleporter takes drops you closest to her.


Being surrounded by webwood creepers makes Gnissa a little difficult to tag.  The amount of times I thought I had managed to reach Gnissa only to end up facing two webwood creppers, well it was alot!  Also Gnissa is not in a dungeon,  there is no sigil to stand on. So if she's not there ( she's already been fought in that realm ) you will need to either wait a while until she respawns or change realms.  Sadly I did not pick up a pet from Gnissa after 100 battles I did pick up some more couch potatoes,  which appear to be becoming a standard drop in Savarstaad Pass.  Just because I didn't pick up a pet doesn't mean she doesn't drop one,  I may just have been unlucky after all I remember, ( never being able to forget, shudder ) the 300+  fights it took to get my yellow ghost pet from  King Selfish himself AKA King Shemet Djeserit.  I will probably continue to farm her awhile and log the number of fights but not record the dropped items.  The most common item Gnissa dropped was the athame the Reapers quill,  she also drops alot of lower level pet snacks.

Gnissa midspell, aww look at the pretty lights!

And The Couch Potato Drop!

She killed our queen, whilst she screen captures the drop lets get her!

Fighting Gnissa aso greatly helped me to gain the badge the badge spiderbane,  yep I've now killed over 500 spiders!

Yep I don't like spiders, its official now.

New houses and pets levelled.

 New Houses -  Housing Tours Out Later Today!
Yay the housing tours are up and running as well as the new world Khrysalis.  I am really looking forward to the housing tours, as are the other members of our wizarding family!
 In terms of our own wizard housing, as well as the fire school house recently purchased for my fire wizard.  Due to incessant recent  farming, my ice wizard was also able to leave her dorms and obtain her first house. ( All houses have been bought with gold )  I went for an ice house, ( Cause shes ice! ). Its pretty much undecorated as yet, but I'm hoping to go for an eternal Christmas theme as the house provides the perfect backdrop for this.

Love the huge Titan statues in the background.
This means, I guess more farming ahead,  for lots of snowy pines and ice related furniture.  Oh well the farming never ends here.  One of my favourite things about the ice house is the hidden cave with a gobbler frozen in the ice.  If you watch him long enough he blinks.

He will blink in the Ice house!

I also levelled my enchanted armour pet to adult,  I knew he was a very, very mixed pet so had no idea what he might manifest.  He is beginning to look though he might be the perfect companion for my death wizard.

Another death related talent!


I will probably keep on levelling him up rather than hatching for different stats.  My death wizard pretty much takes care of her own healing,  so she is not really missing out not having a pet with a heal talent and the enchanted blade card he gives at baby is very, very handy!

Well I'm off to have a good nose around all those tour houses!

So What Exactly Is My Pet

Nightwalker, Deadly Nightwalker?

I have being levelling up my pet Nightwalker,  Queen Trixie. A successful new hatched pet from the hatchery when I realised that I wasn't exactly sure what she actually was.  The Nightwalker pet I had believed was a hybrid pet mix of Wraith and Orthrus,  that gives a Wraith card at baby.  But Trixie gives does not give a spell card until she has reached ancient,  the deadly minotaur card.

Queen trixie, Nightwalker without the Wraith card?
 Apparently there used to be a Deadly Nightwalker pet,  when the hatchery first came out that did give this card!  That pet has been retired,  so maybe Queen Trixie is some strange mix of the Nightwalker and Deadly Nightwalker or maybe she's just a fluke. Maybe all new hatches of the Deadly Nightwalker just get called a Nightwalker as the other pet is now retired. Who knows?  I can't find any reference to what the original retired Deadly Nightwalkers stats were like and a Nightwalker being a hybrid pet, only has a mix of its parents stats.  Either way I'm pleased with the talent Trixie manifested at adult, pain giver.

Queen Trixie getting Adult, Yay.

This leaves alot of epic talents left undiscovered on this Trixie,  so hopefully she'll manifest something worthwhile at ancient as well as giving me the Minotaur card.  To be honest she has not manifested anything from my Onyx Shenlong Dragon I used to hatch with,  but this pet has only be levelled up to ancient and was not a pure mix to begin with.

Trixies unfilled stats.
In order to speed Trixies levelling up along, I have been feeding her as many mega snacks as possible,  she also loves death candy snacks and even though cauliflowers isn't a death candy snack, she still gets a +7 rather than the +6 expected each time.  I guess I'll be concentrating alot more on my gardening for mega's and death candy pet snacks for the next couple of weeks.

Gurtok Barrier Demon The High Lord Of Train Sets.

Gurtok Barrier Demon 100 Battles Farming Results.

With a pet in mind I decided to commit to my standard 100 farming combats with the Gurtok Barrier Demon.  He was rumoured to drop the fire bat pet.  You can find him in Grizzleheim - Ravenscar,  he's a fire boss with 7000 life points.  He doesn't have a minion and forms part of the blood brother quest line.  A couple of things if you do decide to fight/farm him,  he does indeed drop the firebat pet ( Only took until the 82nd fight, Sigh ).  He also drops a nice housing item,  the small toy train set ALOT.  When I say alot I mean it,  it was literally every other fight.  Really 49 fights out of the 100 he dropped that train set!  Whilst its a nice housing item,  it has sound and movement,  the cute little train whizzes around its track,  it becomes really boring if thats all your getting. Still I gritted my teeth, stuck it out and got the pet in the end.  ( Good things aren't supposed to be easy after all are they! ) 
Gurtoks most common drops were the forementioned toy train and the reagent ectoplasm.

 If you have already fought Gurtok you will need to reset him for battle by clicking 'x ' on any of the braziers in his lair

Go on take another train!

Behind The Scenes At Hogwarts.

It's still on the topic of wizards but not those of Wizard 101, we recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the world of Harry Potter at the Warner Bros making of Harry Potter tour.  We decided not to tell the children we were all going so they awoke to a letter ( owl post ) inviting them to Hogwarts and travel trunks with the Gryffindor robes inside.


To say they were excited is a gross underestimation of the mood that morning.  We had to try and tone things down a little because as far as they were concerned they were off to the real Hogwarts, to stay.  As Connor explained ' No moms and dads allowed, I'll see you again at Christmas '

It really is a great place to visit and if you have an interest in Harry Potter you can spend a good few hours looking at all the props, effects and behind the scenes secrets.  On a side note it would have been nice to have more interactive objects as it was pretty much a look but don't touch deal. 

All dressed up outside, ready to go in.

In the great hall.

Waiting for lunch!

Wand selection, a testing time for the young wizard.

The 3D model they have of Hogwarts is amazing.  Its huge,  it blew the childrens minds, they were simply awestruck and I do think they will remember it for the rest of their lives.  Keira being a massive art fan just loved all the concept art drawings for the film as well as the secrets of the special effects.

Some items in the gift shop are a little pricey,  but somethings you just have to buy;

The every flavour beans, be afraid, be very afraid.
Yes these are genuinely every flavour beans,  I still have not yet recovered.  Or rather my tongue will never ever recover from the flavour ' dirt ' It took hours to get the taste out of my mouth and I didn't even eat the thing.  I just bit into it!  No amount of toothpaste, mouthwash or prayers could shift the taste.  It truly was a thing of evil. 

It was a bit of a let down leaving the magic behind to return to the muggle world.  Oh well,  time to start planning our next adventure!

My Latest Pet Aquisitions

I thought I'd complete a mini update on some of my latest new/original  ( When I say new/original I mean not a duplication of any pets I currently own ) pet acquisitions.  Some have been bought, some farmed most hatched.
Earning loads of gold from my recent farming I had money to burn, literally.  Using gold I treated myself to some red barn farms, the wysteria mansion and a fire house for my fire wizard. Who was wondering why she didn't have her own school of magic home,  or at least I was informed she felt this way by my son!  I still had a ton of gold left so decided to hang out in the hatchery, one of my favourite pastimes anyway.  OK I did get a fair few duplications but in terms of original pets for myself, but from the hatchery I managed to acquire;

A Nightwalker,  which will give me the death minotaur spell at ancient,  she has a pretty good pedigree too With the very becoming name of Queen Trixie.

  I have levelled her up to teen and he has gained the ability ' drop it ' Pretty handy I suppose.


And a velociraptor.  I haven't levelled her up yet but she looks promising as a companion for my fire wizard.


A Meow Wing was also hatched,  she has unicorn and spritely so far as talents,  which are always useful.




My last,  but probably so far my favourite pet received from the hatchery was the enchanted armour


I am really pleased with this one as the card he gives at baby, enchanted blade lets you add 10% to your blade cards.  Which is a fantastic spell,  a word from the wise.  Use your blade when you get it,  I had a cunning plan to try to let the powered up blades once set up to fall back into my treasure deck.  So I could have an amazing arsenal of blades in my deck.  Great plan,  but no sadly this does not work.  They just disappear if they remain unused.

My farmed pets were the White Rat Magician from Spike the Crusher;


and a Firebat from Gurtok Barrier Demon.




From packs I picked up a scorpion pet,  his not yet levelled up and sorry will try to add a photo,  but he has been * cough * hidden away in one of my wizards houses  By my son playing the game of find where I hid our stuff.
I will let you know how they level up and perform,  so far though I just love that enchanted armour!

Of Worlds New and Worlds Hinted At.

The new world Khrysalis is now available on the test realm.  Well part one is anyway apparently the end of Morganthe is of such epic proportions it had to be split in two!  Many great blog posts have already being dedicated to this subject but if you want to read on the update notes from Professor Greyrose are here.
It actually got me thinking of the many worlds hinted at ( perhaps we will encounter them later ) as you make your way through the Spiral.


Gobbler World
Firstly there is the world of those hygienically challenged green guys the gobblers.  Merle lets them stay in Colossus Boulevard after they plead to stay as they can't go home.  I believe its implied they would be in danger if they did.  Merle being as altruistic as ever,  lets them stay of course.
I'm not sure what challenges or themes the world of the Gobblers would bring,  lands of ice and gluttony ? Perhaps learning a soap and toothpaste attack spell would set you in good stead?

Do you like cake, I love cake!


 The Kroks where did they come from?
The Kroks they have a long history with the Manders, enslaving them,  then re-enslaving them.  Its implied the Manders were the original race of Krokotopia,  the the Kroks arrived and took over as the dominant race.  Perhaps Krokotopia wasn't even always called that,  it probably wasn't if the Kroks were later arrivals.  Where did those Kroks come from?  It's interesting to think that in real life crocodiles in some form lived alongside the dinosaurs,  maybe in the world of Wizard 101 the Kroks are descendants of the world Azteca lost in space and time.

Tell me you have the crafting ingrediants for a good moisturiser!


The Dogs, Law and Order of the Spiral?
Then you've got all those crazy canines from Marylebone.  The main inhabitants of Marylbone appear to be cats, rats, frogs and the occasional mechanical monster.  If you look at the combatants,  you'll be up against all of those.  Yet you fight no dogs!  The dogs of this world appear to make up the law enforcement and administration departments.  ( So basically they are in charge )  They seem to love exploring you can find them in Krokotopia and Celestia.  Plus there's that nod to Dr Who,  with the professor character ( Does that imply the dogs have access to both time and space travel? )  It would be interesting if the dogs similar to the Kroks were not the natural inhabitants of Marylebone ,  that they were an alien race to that world but ruled it benevolently unlike the Kroks.  OK this train of thought is probably a big what if on my part.  

So do you actually hail from Marylebone, or are you part of a secret police force of the Spiral?


Then four are the worlds directly mentioned  in Wysteria.  Mirage Weirwood, Yago and  Empyria.  It will be interesting to if any of these places are ever mentioned again.

These are just a few of the worlds hinted at,  OK some have pretty direct hints and others are probably me making a mountain out of a molehill.

Wildroot, likes plants! Duh!

Wildroot
Continuing with my boss farming.  After farming Skathi I decided to farm another Grizzleheim boss,  from Savarstaad pass,  Wildroot.
Wildroot is a life boss with 1000 health,  he forms part of the fall tree bowers questline.  Outside of his cave you can occasionally find the reagent ore.  There is also a yardbird located not far from his cave,  by a large hollow log loacted on the path from swiftbranch.
After farming Skathi and getting zero furniture drops but quite a diverse selection of seeds including Couch potatoes ( despite her wiki page saying she dropped fish bones ).  I wanted to find out if wildroots drops would be in a similar vein.  And well they were, I received a grand  zero in terms of furniture but plenty of seeds and yes the desirable couch potatoes seed drop.
Wildroots most common drops were the reagent leather straps and the Cowl of retribution.

Wildroot about to strike!
Couch Potatoes Drop

Coach potatoes and the plant purifier badge :)

 Cowl of Retribution
One of the most common drops!

A quick summary of wildroots drops follows.

After 100 combat events, its still too few fights to say that this is a definitive list of every item dropped by Wildroot or to ascertain an overall percentage for the drop rate of an item.

Level 75 Minion Quest.

Sometimes you miss/fail to notice a game update and I now realise that this has just happened to me.  Level 75+ minions for all schools I had no idea,  or rather just not paid attention * sigh*.  I hadn't had Halston Balestrom recently ask to see me,  at least I don't think I did,  OK maybe I did but just ignored him!!  But upon journeying to Ravenwood with my life wizard,  there he was with my quest ready and waiting.

A badger minion you say, for my life wizard.  Can't wait.



So I was sent off to Marlybone to look out for The Professor.  OK The DR Who references in this character are huge but fun and pleasing for the avid fans like myself.





 The Professor then sent me off to Crab Alley to find King Thermidor who sent me on to The Tower of Peladon, to seek out the theurgic globe of Peladon

Are you a friend of the DR?


OK,  The Tower of Peladon is not really a tower, it's fairly short.   I faced an Ice boss ' Lord Ague ' with 3000 health then went on to face King Finnegan, a death boss with 6000 health after defeating him I was able to collect the globe.  This is not the end of your quest,  ( it would be a bit short otherwise I guess ) after returning the globe to the Professor.  He then sent me on to Zafaria to meet with Kiliman Copperleaf in the Baobab Library to get directions to the Kasbah of Zanj.


Really I have more to do, Professor I'm surprised at you !




Upon reaching the library, Kiliman Copperleaf informs you that the Kasbah of Zanj is no ordinary place,  nope its another tower!


And guarded by more monsters, shocked!


 Again the towers a little short to be considered a tower your first combat is with Sir Bedevere Lake Ward a life boss 1700 health and a Crimson barb knight storm minion with 1500 health.  Sir Bedevere is actually going to become your minion and is being currently manipulated by the Ruthless Gagool ( your next and last combat ).  The Ruthless Gagool in the next room is a death boss with 6500 health,  she's not that bad as an opponent and upon beating her I collected my prize.


Wheres the minion?
I'm not sure if I was facing the right way,  but there was no big spell reward scene rather just a well done message. Now it was back to the professor in Marlybone.  For the final reward some jellybeans and my new spell.



I have not tested out my new minion yet but am looking foward to seeing what he's all about  I have not played a minion for such a long time now, as my wizard had moved on so much that she actually became a hindrance.  So hopefully this will be a massive as I begin to move on towards Azteca.

If you have not picked up you level 75 minion spell yet there are three requirements.

  1. Being a minimum of level 75
  2. Having completed Crab Alley in Triton Avenue*.
  3. Having completed the quest “The Runedown” which gave you your level 55 spell.
    The spell you need to have as a requirement for this quest is:
    1. Availing Hands for Balance Wizards
    2. Virulent Plague for Death Wizards
    3. Power Link for Fire Wizards
    4. Frozen Armor for Ice Wizards
    5. Brilliant Light for Life Wizards
    6. Talos for Myth Wizards
    7. Insane Bolt for Storm Wizards
You also need to have completed Crab alley as you need to go there for the first part of the questline.
