Exploring The Wizard101 Test Realm - Spoilers Ahead!

Hello Wizards!

Kingsisle recently released the Wizard101 Test Realm for a variety of quality of life updates. Among these various updates were new graphics for most of the remaining areas in Wizard City. The only place left out was Crab Alley. I'm sure they have a lot of plans for that area, especially after the amazing work they've already done. Speaking of that amazing work, let's have a look at some of the new areas... Reminder: This post does include spoilers of the new graphics update.

As I mentioned above, Kingsisle updated the majority of Wizard City. The newly updated areas include Colossus Boulevard, Cyclops Lane, Dark Cave, Firecat Alley, Triton Avenue, Haunted Cave, and Sunken City. It was so much fun exploring these areas that they almost felt like a new world (see my reactions below). Last year I remember my level of shock when we first saw part of the new Wizard City Graphics. I will say that Kingsisle put just as much, if not more, work into this new Spring Update.

 Fun fact: The Spring 2019 Update for Wizard is the largest Spring Update since 2014. 

I am so happy to see Kingsisle is continuing to improve the graphics beyond what I was ever expecting. I'd like to thank Kingsisle on this post for releasing such a great update. I'm already looking forward to seeing what you have planned for Crab Alley and Krokotopia. After seeing this new update, I can't imagine what Krokotopia is going to look like when it's finally updated - they've already updated the Fire Elementals, so get ready. I hope they continue updating the worlds of this game to bring in lots of new players. The game looks far better than it ever has. Keep up the great work, Kingsisle! :)

Wizard101: Test Realm Live with Empyrea!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful day. It might be a Wednesday, but it seems like many wizards across the spiral are having a great time. Why? Well, Kingsisle released the Test Realm for all of us wizards to test. If you have purchased Crowns or a Membership in the past month, you'll be able to test the new upcoming update, Empyrea Part One!

Empyrea Part One increases the Level Cap to 125, with a new Shadow Spell (The Shadow Trixter), Updated Crafting, New Member Benefits, Increased Backpack Space - which you can buy from the Crowns Shop, Castle Magic, new companions, and so much more! My favorite part of this update so far is the very beginning, the Great Sky Ark aka for us Star Trek AND Star Wars Fans, the Enterprise! I had to record a video and so that I could post it to this blog post.

I would like to thank Kingsisle for all of their hard work in creating this amazing update. I look forward to questing through this world when it's released to the live realm. If you would like to access the Test Realm Update Notes, including the Official Test Realm Schedule, click anywhere on the image below. Don't forget to report those bugs so it's near perfect when it's released to the live realm!

Ahoy Pirates!

Today, Kingsisle released this month's Pirate101 Newsletter. This month, we'll finally have an update to test out. We'll need to monitor the Pirate101 Facebook and Twitter accounts for more information. It's going to be exciting for finally have an update to enjoy. Pirate101 Lives and I hope you all join me in testing out the new features they have planned for us. This first feature looks like a new Ship Gauntlet - the first Nautical Gauntlet was Blue. Then again, maybe it's Ship PvP? I guess we'll have to see!

Wizard101: Test Realm Online!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a great First Day of Summer! Today, Kingsisle released the Wizard101 Test Realm for wizards to enjoy celebrating the first official day of Summer. If you're like me, you're most likely staying away from the heat by staying inside enjoying the ac and testing out the latest updates on the Wizard101 Test Realm. I've included a list of updates and my thoughts about them - you'll have to read the official Update Notes if you want more information about these updates. If you decide to check these updates out on the test realm - Report the Bugs!

PvP - 4th Age and Daily PvP Awards

This update was announced on the last episode of Kingsisle Live by our community manager, Tom Purdue, and Wizard101 Producer, Leah Ruben. This update was well received by a lot of of the community and may or may not improve PvP issues that many wizards have criticized Kingsisle about these past few years. It seems 4th Generation is a major upgrade from the previous 3rd Generation PvP. 

Chat - Menu Chat Improvements, Emojis, and More!

This update is my favorite update - since I love chatting. I mean, really who doesn't like chatting on the game? Everyone who knows me knows that I could talk everyone's ear off. I have to delete a lot of things I type on my posts because I know everyone wants me to get to the point - for me it's difficult to do that! Speaking of getting to the point... This Test Realm update also brings an amazing improvement of Menu Chat, inclusion of Emojis in chat (example above), and if you say "LOL" or "lol" in the chat box - your wizard will begin laughing! It's always the little things in life that make life so much better! Chat Channels were also introduced where you can click on Public or Private Chat channels where only you or your friends can read your chat - now that's awesome!

Avalon Fishing - Perfect for the first day of Summer!

There are a few names I think of when you hear of a fishing update. I am pretty sure Iridian Willowglen and Paige Moonshade are already enjoying this new fishing update on the Test Realm! Now, I know a few will be shocked when I tell you this, but I haven't done as much fishing as I should have. I'm even behind on it in real life! I really need to catch up on the simple but also relaxing things in life. I hope everyone who does fish on the game has a lot of fun catching all of the new Avalon Fish! :D -- Blogger really needs to add emojis, I know I'm too lazy to code emojis into HTML. 

If you want access to the Wizard101 Test Realm, you'll need a membership and/or have made a Crowns Purchase in the last 30 days. Remember to report those bugs when you see them so Kingsisle can improve the game for us. It's nice to have most of those bugs squashed before it reaches the Live Realm.

Pirate101: Test Realm Party!

Ahoy Pirates!

Tomorrow, our arrrsome community manager, Friendly Thomas, will be having a party on the Pirate101 Test Realm. As of now, nothing will be released, but to me, this seems like a good sign! :D Keep reading for more information about the party, tomorrow. There will be code broadcasts, turrents, pet sparring, test realm crowns, and more! I'll be there and I hope to also see you there.

WHEN?

TOMORROW AT 

4:00 pm CST    5:00 pm EST

WHERE?

Skull Island Skyway (near Bestia)

Meet Test Realm Qualifications to Attend

https://www.pirate101.com/free_game/test_realm

If you haven't logged onto Pirate101 in forever and think you would rather not.. Well. LOG IN! We're going to have a large party! This is going to be a lot of fun and I truly hope to see each and every one of you there. Let's show Kingsisle how much we love Pirate101 and how much we want them to continue their storyline. Yes? I'll see you all there! 

Wizard101 Test Realm: Online! (Spoilers)

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! It's been hot where I live. We're going through a heat wave and that means it's the hottest week of the year... You know I'd rather have cold weather so I'm staying in the AC until it cools down. The good thing about staying inside since the Wizard101 Test Realm is ONLINE! If you would like more information, click this hyperlink - HERE - and click - HERE - to download the test realm.

One feature that I've tested out in the Test Realm today is the new Level 50 Elixir. This Elixir costs 30,000 crowns, but that's pretty cheap since it gives you everything that you need to start questing in Celestia. You will receive Advanced Gear - Hat, Robe, Boots, Wand, Athame, Amulet, Ring and a Deck. You will also get a level 48 pet and a permanent enchanted broom.

Once you use the elixir, you can advance from level 1 to level 50! You would have completed all main quests (it looks like you will still have to complete side quests in the worlds that you missed). You can begin questing in Celestia, but don't forget to train all of your spells that you missed with your training points AND add your spells to your new deck before entering a battle. :D I think this is a great feature for wizards that have been playing for awhile and just don't want to repeat quests in Wizard City through Dragonspyre. Thank you Kingsisle for the amazing new elixir!

TADA!!

Valencia Part 2: Likes (Spoilers)

Ahoy Pirates!

I've decided to make a few posts over this weekend about what I think about Valencia Part 2 so far. I can tell you that there IS a challenge so far. It looks like it's time to start farming for the gear from Moo Manchu because this world is very challenging. I promised myself I wouldn't make this post about dislikes, so I'm going to talk about a few things that I like about Valencia 2 so far! I only made it to level 66 1/2 so keep in mind that I don't know everything and I'm only going off a little section of Valencia 2.

#1: The Storyline: I've always loved the Pirate101 storyline! This is a continuation after Aquila. We're sent to the Capitol of Valencia 2 to find Captain Gunn since he has Catbeard's piece of the Map to El Dorado. I'm not going to say too much on this post because I want it to be a surprise for everyone. I'll just say that this storyline really involves our companions when talking and a lot of times it's very funny! I like how Kingsisle makes our companions feel alive and not just running around with us like robots (not the Armada - though it would be cool to have an Armada companion, no we're not getting one in VL2). I really do like everything so far, so I can't wait to quest through the live realm to see what else happens.The storyline is sure to make you laugh at points if you do read and listen to the dialog like I do. :D 

#2: Our New Companion, Contessa: If you didn't know by now, we do get a new companion in the game. Kingsisle actually gave us a sneak peek Vine a few weeks ago that shows her main attack on an enemy. She is an awesome companion and I can tell I will be using her as one of my main in VL2 when it's released to the live realm. As I've mentioned above, Kingsisle gave life to the companions and Contessa was one of the new companions that they made seem very funny and awesome. I will be using Contessa as one of my main companions because of her strong hits on enemies! :D

#3: Some Of The Challenge/ Not All: Some parts of the challenge of this world is the way it should be since it is the world after Aquila. Now, other challenging parts.. you'll have to read my Dislikes post on that. I think this world should be a little challenging, especially for those who can quest through very fast and say they're bored a few days later. I can tell this will take me awhile to get through and this was what I was expecting, at least some of the sections of VL2. 

#4: The Gold: I've noticed that we receive a lot of gold after fighting mobs and especially bosses in VL2. I actually received one treasure chest that had over 9k gold! I'll have to go back and find out what boss that was because I have a feeling that'll be my new boss to farm gold from if there's not another boss in VL2 that has more gold. I really can't believe the amount of gold this world gives, and I think it's awesome if you ask me. If you're worried about running out of gold, this update is the place to go... so far! I hope they keep this in the live realm. It'll be a lot easier to buy one of the ships.. 

#5: The Pirate Ships: I LOVE that the ships are from other worlds and are level 70. I don't know if this is temporary since this world was released earlier than it was expected to (at least it seems that way to me), but I still love this idea. I'm actually a fan of the Marleybone ships and I was upset when I couldn't use mine anymore when I had to quest through Aquila. There are actually ships from what seems each world that everyone can use and they're all level 70 ships! There is also equipment for these ships which you'll have to check out.

#6: Valencia Part 2: I love VL2 and I can tell Kingsisle put a lot of work to make it seem different than the first Valencia. I'm very thankful we have a great team to put this world out. I love a lot of how VL2 looks including the amazing Sunset (or Sunrise?), the buildings, NPCs, etc.. Thank you Kingsisle! I can't wait to see how everything else looks when I'm able to quest through the entire world on the live realm. I always save the rest as a surprise. :) 

These are really the main six things that I love about this new update! I really didn't tell you everything which was my goal, only things that I liked about this new update. I'll have a dislike post later today or sometime this weekend. Thank you all for reading and thank you Kingsisle for an awesome new update. Until next time, I'll see you around the Skyways!

Pirate101 Test Realm ONLINE: Valencia Part 2

Ahoy Pirates!

It's Friday and the Pirate101 Test Realm is ONLINE. We will now be able to log into the test realm (if you have bought at least $6 worth of crowns or have a Pirate101 Membership in the last 30 days) to test out new content update Valencia Part 2. This new update will raise the level cap from level 65 to 70 and have many other features. I'll be testing it out this week and making a few posts about it! I hope you stick around for that. Make sure you report ALL of the bugs you see to Kingsisle using the bug feature on the test realm. If you would like to read more information about this awesome new update, click this hyperlink -> HERE. If you would like a link to download the test realm, click anywhere on the image below!! Happy Testing!

Wizard101 Test Realm: New Level 108 Spells

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a fun time on the test realm this week! Don't forget to report any bug you might find on the Test Realm to Kingsisle by using the bug icon (I've noticed a few in dialog and no sound in the new spells). Speaking of the new spells.. I think they're AMAZING! I've heard a lot of people not like them because of PvP but I know Kingsisle will fix them if they need to. They released the test realm to let players test the new spells out and anything else and report any bug or idea so we they know what to fix or consider fixing.

Kingsisle added a new spell for each main school and I think they're all amazing but I decided to give you my thoughts about them as a non-pvper on this post. :) All wizards who meet the new professors, reach level 108, and complete the story quest "Story of the Sky Anchor" will learn the new spells listed below! :D

1. Ice School - Snowball Barrage: I've wanted a new Ice AOE spell since snow angel. Snow angel was added to the game back when Celestia was released. I think Snowball Barrage is a perfect spell for questing especially since it does 85 per pip. I think this spell is going to be a useful spell for ice wizards and we'll talk about how useful it was and still is years down the road. :D (This spell can be cast with a shadow pip and any other number of normal pips just like storm's tempest spell) Snowball Barrage LINK
2. Storm School - Rusalka's Wrath: This spell is probably my favorite spell on the game! I really love the graphics and the power of the spell - 1352 Storm Damage to One Enemy and it may cast +25% damage or -50% damage on yourself for the next spell. I really don't think storm will have any trouble getting damage out if the -50% spell is added because storm is already one of the strongest schools. I think this spell will be perfect for any future boss fights. (You'll need six normal pips and a Shadow Pip to cast this spell). Rusalka's Wrath LINK
3. Myth School - Witch's Housecall: The new level 108 myth school spell is an amazing spell that has a witch and a cyclops chicken house thing attack one enemy with 992-1132 damage and summons a myth minion to help you. This spell is so random and really is a funny spell. I love that the minion is like a pet egg. This spell is a pretty cool spell! :D (You'll need six normal pips and a Shadow Pip to cast this spell). Witch's Housecall LINK
4. Fire School - Raging Bull: The new fire school spell, Raging Bull, is an AWESOME spell. I'm going to level my fire wizard first since he finished Khrysalis a few months ago so it'll be nice to earn this spell in 8 levels after the update is added to the live realm. This spell does 514-802 fire damage and applies -40% accuracy reductions to all enemies. This is another useful spell and it looks like I'll be casting this spell a lot so get ready for screenshots when I do! :P (You'll need one Shadow Pip and Six Pips to cast this spell). Raging Bull LINK
5. Death School - Winged Sorrow: This spell is my second favorite new spell. The Death School will also earn this spell at level 108. I need to start leveling my death wizard again because this looks like an AMAZING spell. This spell attacks one target with 735-1005 Death damage and has a chance to beguile the target attacked. This spell has amazing graphics but I wish the time of the spell lasted longer. (You'll need one Shadow Pip and Six Pips to cast this spell). Winged Sorrow LINK
6. Balance School - Nested Fury: It's time for a celebration! This new balance spell is an amazing new AOE that does 818-866 ice, fire or storm damage on ALL enemies. I've been waiting for a new spell like this since the beginning of time! :P I am so happy to see Kingsisle decided to give balance a new attack all spell because sandstorm and Ra were kinda getting boring. The best thing about this spell is that once it attacks, it hits all enemies all at once and not one enemy at a time like other hit all spells. (You'll need one Shadow Pip and Six Pips to cast this spell). Nested Fury LINK
7. Life School - Wings of Fate: Last but certainly not least is the new Life Spell, Wings of Fate. This new spell is an AOE that does 460 damage to all enemies and heals all teammates with 460 health over three rounds for both damage for enemy and heal for teammates. This spell is an amazing spell that many life wizards have waited for since forest lord. It does less damage than forest lord but the healing really makes up for that. (You'll also need one Shadow Pip and Six Pips for this spell) Wings of Fate LINK

I really think these new spells are amazing and Kingsisle did an amazing job on the graphics, animations and how they'll be useful for all wizards who are only happy about them being for questing. The damage the spells do can still change since they're in the Test Realm so if you're from the future and you're reading this post, know that I was typing the amount of damage when it was still in the Test Realm. :P I thought this would be a nice post to make to help anybody that wanted to know my take on the spells. Overall, I LOVE THEM. Thank you Kingsisle for the new amazing spells. :D If you would like to see the new spells, I've added a link to each spell above. I'm going to give credit to Christopher Johnson since I used a screenshot from his video. Thank you all for reading and until next time, I'll see you around the spiral! :)

Enjoy Polaris! Hopefully I'll have more posts like this one soon!

Wizard101 Test Realm: ONLINE!

Hello Wizards!

Kingsisle released Wizard101's new world, Polaris today in the Wizard101 Test Realm! You can access the test realm by having a membership or have made a purchase of at least $6 or more from Wizard101 in the last 30 days. You can read the Update Note page for more information by clicking HERE.

REALM!

I really think Polaris is going to be an amazing world. I didn't have a chance to quest much on the test realm since I have class today but what I did quest through was amazing. I found out that we finally get to graduate Ravenwood! I've always wondered if we'd graduate and I remember mentioning it to a few of my friends back in 2009 (the good old days). I think Wizard101 has brought back what I've missed and that's the storyline. I think this new storyline is really a new fresh start. If you're in control of the storyline of this new world or work to create the storyline, BRAVO! I really think Kingsisle should give you a raise. I think the beginning storyline where we quest and finally graduate from Ravenwood and with a graduation ceromony. I think the graphics and animations used at our graduation ceromony was amazing. I think another great step is using Bartleby since we don't get to talk to him as much. Bartleby is sick and we're on a hunt to find out who cast the curse or illness on him and we found out somebody from Polaris was the one that apparently did. That's really how far I had a chance to quest through today. There are many more surprises that I didn't even mention on this post because I think everybody should check this new update out and test it. Make sure to report any bugs you find on the test realm so Kingsisle can correct them so it's perfect when it's released on the live realm. Here is one last photo to get you excited!! 

Pirate101 Test Realm: Mysterious Trainers!

Ahoy Pirates!

I wanted to make a short blog post about the new Mysterious Trainers that have been added to the Test Realm. The Mysterious are hidden in a location and I'm not even going to tell you where... I'm kidding! I will, but I'm going to warneveryone who doesn't like spoilers to stop reading now! If you do.. here's more information about the location of the Mysterious Trainers and what they actually give to you to train.

More Information-Location: 
The Mysterious Trainers are located in Skull Island. You have to sail to the Corsair's Channel (not to be confused with the Corsair's Challenge - I was earlier), and find the Devilish Hollow and enter that location. Once you enter, be prepared to battle because the enemies in that cave WILL pull you in if you're not paying attention. They aren't a high level enemy so there's no worry about that. Make sure to look at your map and to see that your arrow is getting closer to the Pirate Falg with a Question Mark on it (since that's the location of the Mysterious Trainers). Enter the Mysterious Trap Door to find the trainers, Lost Hoplite (Swashbuckler, Privateer and Buccaneer trainer), Firenzian (Musketeer Trainer) and Kurotadori (Witchdoctor Trainer). The trainers appear every hour (7:00, 8:00, 9:00 -funny right?!) so make sure you check them out.

I'm not going to make this post a Guide, since there are already many of them, but I wanted you to know the location so you know where to find them when this update is released to the live realm. :) I think the powers they have will be helpful for many pirates. I only hope we get an extra practice point for the new attacks, since many level 65 pirates have used their practice points on other attacks. Anyway. I hope you all find this post helpful and you check the new trainers out in the Pirate101 Test Realm or when they're released to the live realm! Thank you for reading. Until next time, I'll see you around the skyways!

Pirate101 Test Realm: The Nautical Gauntlet!

Ahoy Pirates!

I promise you I'd make a post about the new updates on the Pirate101 Test Realm that was just released today! The first thing I decided to check out was the Corsair's Challenge, or Nautical Gauntlet. This Nautical Gaunlet is an amazing gauntlet where you can earn Scrip, Pets, Gold and of course Nautical Experience if you're not at Nautical Level cap. Today I decided to test this out so you know more about it before you enter the test realm. Caution: SPOILERS!

Once you log onto the Test Realm or Live Realm (when Kingsisle adds it to the game), you'll need go to Avery's Court and talk to Mickey Dugan to obtain your quest, "The Pirate's Regetta!". You must be Nautical Level 45 or higher to collect this quest! Mickey will send you to The Skipper, and Skipper will tell you more about what a Pirate's Regetta actually is. You will find have to hop onto the Sigil after talking to Skipper and it'll take you to the Corsair's Challenge Cut.

• Defeat Five Ships: The first thing you have to do during this dungeon, or the Corsair's Challenge is sink five ships. The five ships you sink will give you Nautical Experience and Scrip. This is probably the best area (my opinion) to farm for Scrip! I've added a few pictures above of the first wave.
• The Unsinkable Boss Ship: The moment you're done sinking the five ships that appear, there will be another ship that is unsinkable. You must attack this ship until it's on low enough health to board the ship. You can defeat all of the enemies on there to actually destory the ship. You can earn pets from doing this.
• Repeat The Waves! You have to repeat this many times, but this really does help you earn Nautical Experience & Scrip by sinking the ships, earn gold and possibly a pet by destroying the boss ship, and a challenge that you're sure not to get bored of. If you say that there's nothing to do on the live game, wait until they release this to the live realm! :D It's a lot of fun. There will be different enemies and ships to fight each time you enter a different wave in this dungeon.

This really isn't a guide, but I wanted to share what I think about this Challege and a heads up of what you should expect. This dungeon is a lot of fun and I think most of you will love it if you're not into PvP. I'll have more on PvP on another blog post, but until then I'm going to keep at this dungeon to see how many waves there are! :D Here's a slideshow of a few amazing screenshots I wanted to share with you. :D

Pirate101 Test Realm: ONLINE

Ahoy Pirates!

Kingsisle released the Pirate101 Test realm with many great updates, such as: Ranked PvP, a Nautical Experience Gauntlet and mysterious trainers! The updates were added to the test realm for us to test out before they're added to the live game, just in case there are any bugs. If you would like more information about any of the awesome new updates, click HERE or on the image attached to this post. I will have more posts about the test realm this week, so make sure to stick around to read that. Thank you for your time and enjoy the test realm!

Wizard101 Test Realm: Meowiarty Archmage Dungeon

Hello Wizards!

Last week I tested another dungeon, the Meowiarty Archmage Dungeon, with Autumn Dreamwalker! I want to make posts like these over the next few days so you know a little more about the new Ultra boss fights. I'll make more posts like this and about other updates that'll be added to the game soon. Until then, here's more information about the Meowiarty Archmage dungeon and my thoughts about it! :D

The new Mewoiarty Archmage Dungeon on the Test Realm costs 500 crowns and can be farmed for from around the spiral. This post isn't a guide, so I'll tell you to look around to see if you can find a perfect guide for this dungeon. There were cheats and I promise he's not as easy as he was in Marleybone. :P All of the enemies in this battle had under 10,000 health which made it easier to defeat them. There were four different enemies, Meowiarty, O'Leary Thug, Midnighter and Dr Von. Katzenstein. The O'Leary Thug and Midnighter were not bosses, but they cheated just like the bosses. Each time one enemy hit us, the Midnighter would cast an Empower which would do damage on him and give three pips to everyone who hit. There were plenty of cheats during this dungeon and it's better to check them out on a guide (if one is created) before you enter this dungeon.

Do I like the Meowiarty Archmage Dungeon?

• Do I like the Drops? This dungeon is similiar to the Rattlebones Master Dungeon (and all of the other dungeons) in drops. This dungeon should drop the new school mounts and amazing level 70-80 gear. I think the drops in this dungeon are just as amazing!
• Do I like the Challenge? The challenge in this dungeon to me is just right for wizards at this level. It should be easy to defeat Meowiarty and his minions if you're prepared and know the cheats. We didn't know the cheats when we entered, since everything was new and there was no guides at all. There are some cheats that might seem crazy (like the Shadow Bolt spell) for an Archmage wizard, but it should be easy to prevent with a guide!
• Do I like this Dungeon? I think this dungeon is an amazing dungeon that has awesome drops to help your wizards look cool. This dungeon and all of the others also give you something to farm for without getting upset that the dungeon is too difficult or too easy. I actually love this dungeon!

The Shadow Bolt Spell, one of the cheats used during this dungeon!

Wizard101 Test Realm: Rattlebones Master Dungeon

Hello Wizards,

I hope you had time to stop by the Wizard101 Test Realm to check out some of the new updates that will be added to the live game after being tested! I decided to make a post about one of the Wizard101 updates, the one-try boss fights, and what I like or don't like about them. I will also make more blog posts about some of the other updates over the next few days. :D Today I'm going to talk about the new Rattlebones Master Dungeon.

The New One-Try Rattlebones Master Boss fight costs 500 Crowns in the Wizard101 Crowns Shop or can be farmed for around the spiral (currently only on the Test Realm). Rattlebones, Fairy Queen Boss and the other Dark Fairy ice minions are not as easy as they are in Unicorn Way. The bosses in this dungeon use many new cheats and advanced spell cards such as  which made it different from the Unicorn Way boss fight! I really didn't think think fight would be that difficult since we bought the Master Rattlebones dungeon. We don't have the best gear of the game for any of the Exalted ones, but it was fun to try a few out, including this ultra dungeon.

Do I like the Rattlebones Master dungeon?

• Do I like the Drops? I really do like the new drops from this dungeon. After we finished this battle, Autumn found out she had the new death school-themed mount! You can also get gear to help your wizard (around level 40 if you're currently questing), and if you don't get gear, you can always get the new crafting material to craft your mount.
• Do I like the Challenge? The challenge for a wizard around level 40 might be a little difficult if you ask me, but if you go into the dungeon with a higher level wizard, should be a lot of fun! :D If this dungeon was only intended for level 40 wizards, maybe the difficulty should be adjusted. 
• Do I like this dungeon? I actually do like that this dungeon is a one-try dungeon and the price isn't bad considering you can get a mount from it instead of waiting a very long time to craft a mount (not that it's bad to), or to buy a mount like this from the crowns shop for over 10k crowns. I like that this dungeon is a one-try dungeon and the dungeon itself! :) Thank you Kingsisle for the amazing dungeon!

Pirate101 Test Realm Is Online!

Ahoy Pirates!

The Pirate101 Test Realm is now online with a bunch of updates such as the Tower of Moo Manchu. The Tower of Moo Manchu is a ten story tower where high level pirates can team up together and get gear, badges and much more! The good thing about this tower is that you can enter it with three other friends and try to farm as much as possible. I think this tower is going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to try it out. :D Kingsisle has been working hard because they also added something in Cool Ranch where you can get to areas faster than you can if you sail on your ship. I know I've had trouble getting to certain areas in Cool Ranch when questing on my swashbuckler so I'm happy to hear about this Cool Ranch Transport! I haven't even began to talk about everything Kingsisle released so I'm going to send you over to their website so you can read through the August 2014 TR update notes so I can test everything out. I promise I'll make a blog post about what I think about the updates later tomorrow or Friday! Thank you for reading and thank you Kingsisle for the awesome updates.
