Classic WizTuber Shoutouts

Hello Wizards!

I usually don't talk too much about Wiztubers here on my website, but lately, I've been thinking about a few Wiztubers that I watched when I started Wizard101. There are many great Wiztubers in the Spiral today, but did you know there were many great Wiztubers during the first few years of Wizard101? Here are a few of my favorite Classic WizTubers:


The Friendly Necromancer - Grandfather Of Blogging & WizTube

We all know "The Friendly Necromancer" aka Tom Purdue! He's known as the Grandfather of Blogging and today I'll call him the Grandfather of WizTube. He was one of the first bloggers and YouTubers that I ever watched. How long has Tom made Wizard101 videos? Since September of 2008 - that's nearly a decade ago! Tom has many videos dating back ten years. His Wizard101 videos range from Questing Videos to Parodies. His parodies have always been my favorite - one of which is "A Day Without 101" which was released around the time Selena Gomez was in the Spiral! I am happy that he still makes videos here in this community even as the Community Manager of Wizard101 and Pirate101. Thank you so much, Tom, for bringing family-friendly fun to this community for nearly ten years!

The Abracadoodle Show - BasicWizards

"The Abracadoodle Show" was released on January 6th, 2010 by BasicWizards. As many of you already know, Kingsisle released Abracadoodles every once in awhile on their website. Nearly 8 years ago, BasicWizards decided to animate Abracadoodles and post them on YouTube for the Wizard101 Community to enjoy. I want to thank BasicWizards for their hard work and I hope to see them return one day again. If you would like to watch the first episode of The Abracadoodle Show, click on the play button below. 

Wizard Weekly - Fawne 

The first episode of "Wizard Weekly" premiered on March 31st, 2011. Fawne was yet another amazing family-friendly WizTuber. Wizard Weekly was a Weekly Wizard101 News videos. Not only did Fawne provide the news, she also toured houses, offered housing tips and gave her opinion on the future of Wizard101. I remember watching these videos as soon as they were released and every now and then I go back and watch them remembering how amazing they were. Thank you as well, Fawne, for everything that you offered this community. I also hope you join us once again in this amazing community!

Who are your favorite classic Wiztubers? The three Wiztubers listed above are my favorites because they were/are family-friendly! I hope you check out some of their old videos when you get a chance. You may be amazed! Thank you for reading this post. Until next time, I'll see you around the Spiral. 

Pirate101 Stream - Valencia Questing

Ahoy Pirates!

As many of you already know, Autumn and I have been questing in Pirate101. On my last blog post, I told you about us nautical leveling before entering Valencia 2. It's about time that we show Kingsisle how much we love Pirate101 - with the 90s and 00s music! I hope you enjoy a bit of Valencia Questing in the Twitch Stream below. Some portions of the video are muted, but this stream was still a lot of fun. I hope you all are able to join us live one day!

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.
