Luis Finishes Dragonspyre, Twins to Mooshu, Projects, Drops!

Hey guys! I just finished up Dragonspyre with Jade and Gabi tagging along for the ride through Malistaire's!

I am just about set up with all my GM gear too! I am only missing my hat and boots, but I'm going to be hard at work on those in the next few days. I got my sword last night from the Homonculus...yeah, gotta have that ice sword with the 100 hit! Getting it only took four tries, and it looks really sweet too! Check out some pics here from my journey and getting the sword on drop too:

Here I am after finishing up the Father Drake Tower; basically the last fights before being sent to Malistaire's.

Longblade of the Homonculus Sword Drop.

Me in some Wayfinder Gear that my bro, Alric, gave to me for doing such an awesome job in DS. And this is also at my, still, new house I bought not too long ago. Wasn't sure I would like the Fire House cause it seemed so dark, but I made sure to fix that problems, and it really is awesome now! Sometime I will get a video on it.

Me with my little crew after beating Malistaire.

A couple things that were cool to see, after beating Mali, were Cyrus was standing in Merle's office. I know my older sisters had told me that was a new thing and he didn't use to stand in there when you came back from Mali's Lair. Also I got the summons from Balestrom to go talk to him, after I finished talking to Merle and Cyrus. I think Balestrom is going to have to wait....I plan on taking a slight vacation before any new action. I don't want to lose the XP I would gain, on the new quest, once our level caps are raised. So for now it's all about farming and just having fun :-)

Yes! We made it to Mooshu, as some of you already know from a previous post. We are just getting started there but we were hoping to level to 35 and get some new gear before we head into the countryside to battle ninja pigs, Samoorai, and other fearsome creatures.

So we did all the beginning quests at the jade Palace, found good old Zeke again, got another quest for some missing scrolls, battled our first Samoorai....so the Mooddha would know we are worthy, and talked to the Jade Champion inside the Jade palace.

After all that we leveled up and went to search for our new gear, and I gotta say that we look pretty awesome! Not sure we want to wear Mooshu clothes forever, but it's a nice change!
We also got new mounts, the Swiftshadow Wings, they look perfect on us....and it will be so nice not to have to ride around on brooms all the time now! :-)

Take a look here at some pics from our first few minutes in Mooshu:

Our Arrival.

Wings.

New Gear.

You can see our gear a little better here and also a couple of the pets we may start training next.

So, we are off on our Mooshu adventure! We will let you know more as soon as we can.

_________________________________________

Wow, those kids have really been busy, huh?!?! Well, the rest of the family hasn't been slacking either, and I'm here to show you what else has been happening...

First off, recent Pet Grads:

Since Luis hit 48 and his new pet hatched he has been working on training it.

Luis' Helephant reaches adult and gets Fireblade and may cast the fire charm in battle. Let's just hope that the randomness of this event is brought up so sometime we might actually see it happen.

Luis' Fire Serpent has been his favorite pal to tag along on adventures lately. This serpent has the opposite ability of the helephant and may cast fire traps, but so far we have seen nothing from this serpent other than it's awesome card, it's added Fire Damage boost and now Fire resistance....which is one good resistance to have, it really will pump up Luis' Fire Resist and Damage so much more when Luis' gets his boots and hat!

Elie found a little time on his short adventures and trained his Krokotillian up to Adult.

I decided to train up my Ianthine Spectre to see about a little experiment.

Esmee's Ghoul Leveled to Ancient. Though he may be trained further he will be giving up his top training slot to Esmee's newest trainee. He's been a great companion through the Spiral, but the Twins know they need to ween themselves off these health and mana giving pets.

Val's Ghoul here.

Jadeblade's soon-to-be Seraph, which I had been borrowing for the time being.

Both above pics are of Alric's Brown Spider. Now that Fluffy is an adult Alric now has use of the spell that gives him a Life attack boosting bubble!

Gabi & I have been continuing our work on some crafting and these are our latest projects we have completed:

Sandwich Station.

Gold Place Settings.

Tea Set. "Care for a spot of tea?"

Made by Gabi: Bamboo Fountain. Tiny, but soothing to listen to and watch :)

Other Happenings...

Alric Dreamhaven is now the newest and probably the last Master Artisan in the family! (Unless I get extremely bored and reagents become easier to get, since EVERYONE wants to be a Master Artisan now....haha!) The original idea was to have at least once MA on each account, but somehow that went all crazy on the second and most all of them became MA, with the exceptions of Esmee and Taryn. Taryn only went as Adept for the sole purpose of crafting Earthquake treasure cards, since they were needed for the Secret Carnival.

Alric showing off his new Badge.

Alric and Dani, very randomly, decided to farm Kraysys for his level 50 gear, figuring some of it could be passed on. One of the drops that Alric got was the Regal Dragon Statue....very cool!

More Pets...

Though Dani and I both have these pets Alric thought it might be fun to have one on his account too. So he went and farmed one up. That was not a fun task for a Life guy, as it really stinks when you have no AoE and you are farming.

Again, there are already maybe 2 of these in the family, but since Alric was in the Tree of life hunting down some reagents, he decided to invite Jade and Dani in to run the dungeon while he ran around hunting. Jade got this Red Banshee drop.

Dani got this Deathbat drop during the same time as Jade's Red banshee. This will now be Esmee's new pet(as soon as Dani remembers to send it to her...haha.)

After a lot of email going back and forth with KI about not receiving my Lightning Bat code from the promotion, this past day KI finally gave me my code! I am so happy about this as I have wanted this pet for so long and have tried countless times to try to get a bat from Wavebringer:



When Luis had to go through the Labyrinth for the second run, to get the last piece of the Dragon Rider Staff, Jade went with him and dipped into the Second Chance Chest and pulled out a Boss Banshee! This pet will be going to Nightshade, but I am holding onto it for now, just for show.

This is one very cool pet, as I haven't seen many around :)

Here is Queen Gracie, our Boss Banshee, next to my adorable Teddy...don't they make a cute couple?...lol

If you noticed in that above picture, as with this one, Gracie's name and info are not showing up. It seems to be a bug with this pet as no one else could see it either. I have submitted a bug report to KI about it. Hopefully that gets fixed sometime :)

I hope you all have a great weekend and have lots of fun out there!

See ya in the Spiral!

Bugs, Pet Grads, My Newest Wizard, & Crafting Madness!

So, I haven't been able to post much lately because I have been very busy! And rather than go into too much depth through words, that would take so much of your time, I thought I would just show you pics on what the family had been up lately and tell a little about them.

___________________________________________________

First off I have a new brother, his name is Elie SunCaster. He is Balance, and currently level 5. We were not going to add another to the family but a friend talked us into adding this kid, saying how good of a learner he is, etc. He definitely has potential, but he is going to have some slow going too because he is waiting to travel with some other friends before continuing past level 6, and even then, his journey may be a long one. So don't expect to hear too much about him again soon. But here he is anyway:

First Day

Level 5: Yes, we told him his colors were especially bright, but he promised to tone them down as he gains level. As you can see he also, already, has a small army of pet friends. His Krokotillian will be accompanying him most of the time, though, as it gives balance accuracy and that great low-level spell.

Ok next, it has been crafting madness with Gabi & Winterbane. Here is what they have been up to:

Kitchen Shelf Stand, crafted.

Kitchen Shelf Stand

Cuckoo Clock Crafted

Cuckoo Clock; yes, above my head! This item seems to place extremely high on walls. The little white speck you see is actually the Cuckoo coming out of the clock :)

Jar of Mushrooms Crafted. (Jar of Mandrake was also crafted, but not pictured here)

Ingredient Shelf Crafted.

Ingredient Shelf, Jar of Mandrake, and Jar of Mushrooms,(along with Jar of Bat Wings, which is a dropped item.) I really LOVE that this shelf has labels; very cute!

Kitchen Shelves Crafted.

Kitchen Shelves

Kitchen Ware Pots(Above my Head.)

Kitchen Ware Rack(wish I had some pots and pans I could hang on it too ;-) )

______________________________________________________________

Gabi here! And I have been hard at work in the little time I do get to have! Some of the items I crafted before Winterbane or Emerald even did! Emerald decided not to show her's, as she is giving her items to Jade for a semi-secret project they are working on! ^_^

Here is what I have made, though:

My Own Cuckoo Clock, which I made before Winter made her's. Emerald was visiting at the time :)

Lattice Cherry Pie, which every Mother should have in her Kitchen! (Winter visiting) Emerald has made this as well, and Winter will when she feels like it. She says she has all the reagents, but looking into other projects first.

Kitchen Ware Pots(shelf) to the left. Again, I made it first...lol

Left: Kitchen Cabinet. Middle: Kitchen Shelf Unit.

Now for recent pet Grads:

Alric's Guardian Dragon, Queen Whiskers.

Alric's Satyr, Sam, gains Health Gift(this seems popular among the family's Satyrs!

Winterbane's Colossus

Jadeblade's Defender Pig, Louie.

Luis' Burnzilla. He has reached Epic and is now giving +5% Fire Attack Boost, +110 Health, & 9% Global Resistance! We have no idea why he was so tiny in this pic cause he is one seriously Epic Burnzilla!

Sandwalker's Crabling gains Balance Accuracy!

Savannah's Colossus.

Keira's Defender Pig, Miss Gracie.

The now famous Prince Taz, Emerald's youngest Stormzilla.

Keira's Brown Spider, Gus.

Jadeblade's Brown Spider, Miss Spencer.

Kaitlyn's Aqua Dragon.

________________________________________________________________

Another short bit on how I LOVE BUGS!...

Keira and I were helping a friend get through the end of Marleybone one night. When we went to Counterweight West we got the bug with Old Smokey standing there as soon as our friend entered. I am thinking this is something that *maybe* happens to people who haven't been through yet, and only rarely as it didn't happen to the Twins.

Funny thing about this bug is that you enter the instance and you are facing Old Smokey's back, as seen in the first picture here:

After we went ahead and fought Old Smokey we were messing around, running in circles and acting goofy, suddenly we were caught by....invisible enemies!

So we did this a few times, and also discovered during the bug that Old Smokey returns...as do the invisible enemies....

So I ended up with this awesome Open Furnace and a Marleybonian Street Sign for fighting Smokey....

When we headed to Big Ben, still messing around....I noticed this mark on the back of the cat....some will say it looks like a tear...but we think it sort of looks like a spider...

Well, this is all the news for now...hope you are all having a great weekend!

See ya in the Spiral!
