Baron Mordecai - Pets, Seeds and Halloween Items.

100 combat events with Baron Mordecai farming results.
Baron Mordecai is a once yearly boss,  he turns up for Halloween only and yep I couldn't resist a little Halloween farming. ( The usual 100 fights ).  You can pick up his questline ' Baron of nighmares' From Jack Hallow in the commons.  Baron Mordecais tower is located in Triton Avenue. If you go in to fight him alone you will face just Mordecai and a single loathsome creeper.  If you go in with more than two companions you will face Baron Mordecai, the loathsome creeper and two cryptwalkers.  So is he worth farming?  well,  he does drop pets, Halloween Crown items, spooky housing items and seeds.  He seems to be quite drop happy with the pets too.  He is a death boss with 2000 life, his minions are all death too.

I believe I can fly.

Some of the Barons choice drops were
Blue Cat Thug Pet

Aww he's so cute.

Greater Imp pet

Ended up with a few of these.

White Laugh-o-dil

Laugh-o-dils - handy plants

Fiery Boom Shroom

Does what it says on the tin.

The Baron does drop quite a mix of gear,  some lower level 10 items and up to level 45 items.

After 100 combat events, its still too few fights to say that this is a definitive list of every item dropped by Baron Mordecai or to ascertain an overall percentage for the drop rate of an item. However,  I do think he is more likely to drop a pet than some of the other wizard bosses ( Just remember the guys at wizard can add and remove items from the game )

Well my wizards are off to see what spooky things can be discovered and they are hoping to pull off the ultimate Halloween themed pimp my wizard mansion after I have done some serious boss farming.

Oh Skathi, Skathi. How does your garden grow?

Skathi  
Continuing with the boss farming project.  I decided to farm a Grizzleheim boss, Skathi,  from Savarstaad pass.  Mainly as there seemed to be so little information about her.  She makes up part of the quest ' the spider queen.'  The  green teleporter drops close to her lair.   She is a fire boss with 780 life and has a balance spider minion.
Skathi as a name for a boss fits in well with the Grizzleheim/Scandanavian theme,  as its also the name of a ancient Norse goddess and one of Saturns moons is named after her. 

Skathi mid spell.

I actually was a little surprised by her drops.  No housing items as such,  but loads of seeds!  The most common item that she dropped was the tritonscale cloak dropped 22 times during the 100 fights ( As I usually say, bosses often drop more than one item a fight,  but thats still a pretty common drop.  )  In my opinion the best item that Skathi dropped was the Coach potatoes seeds! ( A crowns drop no less. )  It was only dropped once,  but still wow, totally unexpected.  Though I had heard others say they often picked up great seeds from Grizzleheim!

Skathi dropping couch potatoes,  Ok it was the 92nd fight! Still a good item!

Sergeant Groostak. Trolling no more?

Carrying on with plan of farming/exploring areas of Wizard 101 that I might have skimmed through. I decided to Farm Sergeant Groostack, a troll boss (myth ) found in Mooshu at the Hametsu village ( use the butterfly embossed teleporter ).  He forms part of the quest ' Too Many Enemies '

 



Go on, Give Groostak a hug!

 

Initially, I was interested in farming him as according to internet rumours,  he used to drop a troll pet, apparently this pet drop had been withdrawn. Did Groostak still drop it?   It's also interesting as according to Wikipedia both Groostak and another troll boss in Mooshu,  Grum Foultooth drop the troll pet.  Was wikipedia wrong?  Did both trolls drop the pet?  I thought I'd give it a try with the usual 100 fights and sadly no troll. 

It probably is too few fights to be conclusive as to whether Groostak still drops the troll, especially after the 300+ fights I ended up having in Krokotopia in order to receive the yellow ghost. 

The most popular item that Groostak did drop was the reagent, bone. Which was dropped 22 times out of 100 fights. Taking into account that Groostak often dropped more than one item per fight, its still a pretty high drop rate.  An unusual session of farming followed. In that the items I thought were the best drops, were furniture items.  Some of his more choice drops were

A Fancy Bench

Not Sure it's that fancy.

Green Banner

Drops a few of these

Groostaks Prudent Staff

Packs quite a punch!

Tree Painting

A really nice item.

Fiery Boom Shroom

Very unexpected drop!

He did drop a couple of level 40 gear items,  and the fiery boom shroom!

Ok TOTALLY loving the presents, A free Dino Mount!

You have probably noticed the many presents dotted about the spiral,  in honour of Wizards 5th Birthday and may have opened a few.  I know I have,  usually getting either spells or pet snacks.  I had noticed the odd online murmur that some presents contained pets and other desirable items but had no true evidence.  That was until today,  I am really pleased yes I know its only for 7 days but I received a mount today,  the  Ankylosaurus. 

Open your presents and you could get lucky!

 I am not sure how many presents I actually opened before receiving this, honestly it wasn't that many. I had just gone past some!  I will be opening a lot more now.  The presents appear in all realms in all worlds,  they also re-spawn/reappear.  For those of you interested in a dedicated farming of presents some very generous folks have been using their time to put together maps of where the presents are likely to appear.   Good luck everyone!

The gift Ankylosaurus stats.

Baron Greebly, Music Lover: No, Really!

I decided a while back apart from my pet farming/hatching, that exploring some areas/farming bosses that I may have previously skimmed through or completed quickly might prove beneficial, maybe even enlightening. So my first boss I choose was Baron Greebly.  You may wonder why I choose him?  ( Well there was a boss list on wikipedia, I closed my eyes and pointed )

As you may know,  Baron Greebly is a boss found in the first world of wizard, Wizard City and has made his home in Colossus Boulevard. If you are Mindy Pixiehorns quests to find stinkweed, you'll find a lot around his tower. You can also often find the reagents mistwood, deep mushrooms and red mandrake close by.

Baron Greebly Dying

So as I hadn't farmed him before and wasn't sure he'd drop anything of note, I decided that I would have 100 fights and I'd keep a tally of the items dropped. One item he dropped did actually surprise me. It was the Honey Sickle plant ( only dropped once by the baron on our 31st combat ). I actually thought this had been withdrawn from wizard, maybe its just being that long since I came across some!  If you are into your wizard music he also dropped both the Wizard City Combat theme

( first dropped by the baron on 4th combat )

And the Grumpy Gobblers theme

( first dropped by the baron on our 35th combat ).

Other items of note were Greebly's frost wand.

( first dropped by the baron on our 17th combat )

 And Greeblys gemstone.

( first dropped by the baron on our 5th combat )

A quick summery of the dropped items :

 

The most popular item that Greebly dropped was the Swooping necklace.  Which was dropped a staggering 20 times out of 100 fights.  Even taking into account that Baron Greebly often dropped more than one item a battle thats still a pretty popular item.

For those who want to know every item dropped and how many times,  the data is below.

Even after 100 combat events, its too few to say that this is a definitive list of every item dropped by Baron Greebly or to ascertain an overall percentage for the drop rate of an item. However, I think it definitely highlights what you are likely to get as well as a few more choice items you may want to work at getting. ( Just remember the guys at wizard can add and remove items from the game ) If you really want to go into the 100 battle drops any further I have the fight number and tally of items received below.

Happy 5th Birthday: Wizard 101

Well firstly,  a very well wished Happy 5th Birthday to Wizard 101.  Hip, hip hooray.

Sadly it's been a long time between posts. ( Yup nearly a year .) We have had a lot of family health issues to sort out. Wizard has still been played in our household but I just did not really have it in me to type out any posts. There have obviously been a lot of changes that have occurred in wizard during this missed posting period. New worlds, new mounts, pet changes, new dungeons, the introduction of housing music etc. I don't see much point in me trying to catch up/run through each of these as they have been given quite excellent coverage by other bloggers. Hopefully, I am back now on a permanent basis.

Now back to the fun wizarding celebrations! Don't forget Wizard 101 wants you to join in with the party. To get your free party Cannon make sure to head to to the Wizard 101 website.  You will also be given a second free gift,  what you get depends on how long you have been a member.
