Questing Through Empyrea

Hello Wizards!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week. This week has been a great week for me, especially since I have more time to play my favorite games, Wizard101 and Pirate101. For this post, I'm going to talk about a not so new (okay I think it's still new) world, Empyrea!

Autumn Dreamwalker and I have been questing through the first part of Empyrea since it was released in the live realm. We've been busy so we haven't had a chance to quest through as much as we hoped in the beginning. Luckily, on New Year's Eve and the beginning part of this week, we've been able to quest a lot more! I have to say that this world is amazing! Kingsisle sure has updated a lot since I started playing nearly 9 years ago. It really means a lot to us older players that they are putting so much work into these updates. 

Although we've had some difficulties with cheats, - please Kingsisle add a feature that lets us know when a boss cheats so we know when to look the cheats up on our favorite fansites - I think that this world may be one of my favorite worlds so far. I love the music, the graphics, and the storyline! It has been fun questing with Autumn through this first part of Empyrea. We made it to level 125, but we ended up with the last boss... I can't imagine anyone being able to solo Medulla. Well if someone can, I know I would never be able to unless I'm level 200 - Hello, Future Self that's currently level 200. We need help!

The bosses leading up to Medulla, the final boss of Empyrea Part One, were relatively easy to defeat. Bat provided us some trouble, but we still made it through the fight after we figured out how he cheated. Medulla is a 125,000 health boss with our favorite allies that have been brainwashed by Medulla. Pork, Sparck, and Beans join Medulla to help him unless we defeat him (then they will help us). We tried to fight Medulla and we died within a few rounds after relentless hints and cheats. Although we didn't win, we will try this fight again! We will not give up, especially with help from amazing sites like Duelist101 and Wizard101 Central. Their guides help us out when we quest through the game. I think some advice that I can give everyone here before I end this post is to never give up! Tough fights here in the game and in real life will always occur, but you'll always win if you keep trying. Now, we have to study up to defeat Medulla. Wish us the best! I'll post an update post when we finally defeat him. Until then, I'll see you around the Spiral.

Nautical Leveling With Autumn (The Return)

Ahoy Pirates!

It sure is nice to finally be back making Pirate101 posts. Last year was a crazier year than usual, which limited my blog posts. I announced yesterday that I have Pirate101 plans this year and I hope you all stick by to see those plans take action. It will surely be an amazing year. Speaking of amazing, I'll start talking about our amazing day of nautical leveling yesterday.

Over the past few months, Autumn and I have quest our musketeers through Pirate101. We've quest through Marleybone and Aquila. As of late, we've streamed our adventures on Twitch. We finished Aquila last week (or should I say last year - haha) and we were planning on questing through Valencia 2 yesterday. We noticed that Autumn was behind on nautical so we decided to sink quite a few Marleybone & Aquila ships to catch her up! While helping her on my musketeer, I leveled to nautical level 60, so we made it a goal to level her up from level 47 to 60 as well.

After the nautical experience number decreased to a certain point in Marleybone, we decided to make our way to Aquila to sink ships there. We decided to go near Captain Taco (Captain Spartacos) and sink ships there instead. We spent about 2 hours sinking ships! It sure was nice and very peaceful to play Pirate101 once again with Autumn. Congratulations to Autumn for making it to nautical level 60! During these ship sinkings, we were also thinking about hosting a Pirate101 event again soon. Hmm, I hope you all stick around because we have quite a few events for this amazing game planned for the pirate community. That's all I have for you all for now. A major thank you all for your support! This will surely be an amazing year.  Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral. 

2018 Goals

Hi there!

Happy New Year to you all! It's finally 2018 and that means we're all gearing up for the year ahead of us. I have so many plans online and offline - this year will be a busy and amazing year. Today I wanted to make a blog post about a few goals or resolutions that I have planned for this year online. I already know that this year is going to be an amazing year and I'm going to try my best to make it as awesome as possible!

Improved Events - Events Before Every Major Holiday

Yesterday I made a 2017 Event Review post. This post included screenshots of every event from last year - I have to admit it's strange saying that 2017 was last year. The events this year will be far different than the events of last year. I want to improve these events as we progress through the year. We recently started streaming on Twitch and we will continue doing this for all future events. Plans this year are to expand what we do on Twitch. Just like last year, you'll see what we add throughout the year. This is not too much of a goal, but something already planned this year. I hope you all stick with us through this amazing year to bring everyone together once more. And, I am not forgetting about you Pirates out there.. You'll just have to see what happens this year!

Questing Posts - Making A Return

I've been behind on my questing posts for both Wizard101 and Pirate101 over the past few years. This year, I will be returning to questing posts for both games. This means Edward Cringle will make a return as well for my Pirate101 blog posts. I am not one for making schedules and being able to stick with them unless it's for events - but I want to post at least one post per week for Edward Cringle. As for my wizards, I want to make questing posts for them as well. Who knows, I might stream every now and then! I'd rather post most of my questing activity here on my website, though. I am looking forward to questing again and posting about my adventures here on Around The Spiral. I hope you all stick around and read my blog posts throughout the year.

Community Shoutouts - Bringing The Community Together

The first years of the beginning of this website, I made blog posts shouting out amazing community members. Since then, I've slowed down quite a bit. I really want to return to that and shoutout awesome people in the community that works hard to help bring this community together. There are many amazing people out there (now I can start adding WizTubers) that I would love to shout out this year. I loved being involved in the community and will now start doing that again. The WizTuber in the picture above is someone you may have heard of, WhiteTiger93. My first shoutout of the year goes to WhiteTiger93 for everything he does for the community to bring everyone together to watch family-friendly content. I joined this community when most were family-friendly content, so I quite enjoy content like this. Thank you, WhiteTiger!

The goals above are three main goals that I have for this year. I do think I'll succeed at all three and I hope you all stick around to see that. It's going to be an amazing year! Last year was.. different.. but this year will be beyond amazing! It's time for the Edward Lifegem that I want to be to make his return. This return will be great not only for me, but for the community. I want to thank all of you for your support you've shown over the past nearly eight years. I look forward to yet another amazing year with you all. Thank you all for reading my 2018 Goals Post! Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.
