Future

I hope many of you are are enjoying the blog and please vote in the poll too. Ok, I want to talk about the future of this blog. I'm not sure if this blog can last for a decade, I don't know! But if it does, great. I just want to talk about the Youtube channel now. Lanos and I have made a video and it is yet to be published. Lanos currently has the video and still has to send it to me so I can publish it. Now about 2018, yes, that's when we both turn 18. I am hoping to have some advertising done on this blog. Sorry guys :(, we just want to earn some money so we use use it for contests and for ourselves. Maybe some of the money can be donated to charity, I am thinking about the destitute African communities. What else? Oh yes more guides, I know you guys LOVE the KIFG Trivia Answers, maybe another one. Gardening, quests, crafting? Oh well, you can ask for it if you want.

Sorry

I am very sorry for the inconvenience I have caused leaving the Educational Trivia Answers out. Let me tell you a story. Last night I was making the major update and I was working on Educational Trivia Answers. Since the page wouldn't let me remove the background, I deleted it and created a fresh page and pasted the answers into it. Then I was told to go to sleep. So I did, before I quickly published it. This morning, I tested out the page by going on KIFG Trivia Answers page and clicking the link. It didn't work. I went to check the page I had made yesterday and it had a different url with numbers at the end. This had made me mad. I tried deleting, creating and numbers were still there. So I gave up, I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience I have caused. I hope blogger fixes this problem. Alright, I going to finish off the Geometric Shapes Answers. Stay tuned for a video from EternalNewsNetwork!

EternalNewsNetwork!

We have a new you tube channel called EternalNewsNetwork where we record news about the blog and talk about the changes through Wizard101 and Pirate101.

Question

Welcome back Richard, it's great to see you. Thanks to all the genteel comments towards Richard. I sure I'll see a big smile on his face at school. Now, I just would like to ask the public a quick question. Would you rather have the trivia answers divided into different categories or keep it the way it is? Comment below.

Cool Ranch Update

KingsIsle taken another look at the world of Cool Ranch and made some improvements that we think you’ll like.

First, Cool Ranch was an annoyingly big place! You’ll be happy to know a new fast transport service is now available in Cool Ranch to help players travel quickly from skyway to skyway. Drop by the docks of Cooper’s Roost, Bison Village, Junction, Santa Pollo, Tumbleweed, and Fort McMurtry to give the Stagecoach a try!

Second, the major changes for players in Cool Ranch are as follows:

• Shortened the dungeons “Hidden Valley Ranch,” ”Dusty Arroyo Cave,” and “Miranda.”
• The Miranda encounter in particular has had a major overhaul, removing many unnecessary combat goals to reduce the total time investment to complete the goals.
• Bosun Budd has been improved, adding an additional tier and some interesting new powers to the encounter. (And if you happen to have Bosun Budd as a companion from the Crown Shop, you'll notice that your companion also a new promotion tier, as well as those new powers. Enjoy!)
• Fixed several Cool Ranch quests where companion dialog would block players from moving.
• In preparation for an all new Cool Ranch-themed Puppet Show . . . The Thunderbird has a new voice.

Lastly, they’ve gone through many of Cool Ranch’s instances and problem areas and fixed a lot of bugs, and they’ve also improved the camera work and polish on several quests. Here are a few of the more notable fixes: 

• Improved the drop rates of the items needed for the quest “A Spoonful of Stingers.”
• The location of the Stingtails encountered during the quest “Save Those Jolly Ranchers!” have been moved to a new location called Cueva de la Alacrán.
• Caltrops encountered during the battle with Deacon will once again cause damage.
• Spaced out the Black Storm Raider Ships that were bunched together in Tumbleweed Skyway.
• Cleaned up the quest goals and camera angles for the quest “A Merriweather Chase.”
• Soaring Skies in Cooper’s Roost now sells Frigates as well as Skiffs.
• The quest “Mighty Medicine” will no longer require players to defeat ships in Arroyo Grande.
• It’ll be a bit clearer when Captain Blood summons skeletons and fire in the Miranda dungeon.
• Players are now able to skip past a few fights in Froggo Villa’s cave.
• The spider encountered during the quest “Range War!” will no longer display as a treasure chest icon for its dialog.
• Players are no longer required to “Survive 13 Rounds” during the combat found during the quest "Lies, Lies, They're All Lies!"
• Added a new Duck of Death Puppet Show, which players will encounter during the quest, The Enemy Revealed. Those players who have already completed the Duck of Death quest will now find the new puppet show in their existing list of Puppet Shows.

This is very strange, normally the telegraph box is next to The Professor. Maybe it's a glitch, maybe it could be a clue. Comment below for your opinions.

Wizard101 Update

September 2014 Welcome to the September 2014 Update Notes Page. What are Update Notes you ask? Every time we update Wizard101, we like to let our players know what changes have been made and what new additions have been given to the game. Update Notes explain those changes and updates. This update gives the Crown Shop a makeover, Quest Log sorting and a new Restore Original Castle button for Arcane Builders. And good news, the Spiral Cup Gauntlet is no longer Friends only!

Updates Menu Crown Shop Revamp | Quests | Housing Creatures | Crafting | Pets | Fishing | Miscellaneous

New and improved Crown Shop! Crown Shop Revamp! Categories in the Crown Shop have been sorted and new sub-categories added to make finding items easier! The first tab “For your Wizard” is a collection of all sorts of items that other players like you have been purchasing, like Packs, Mounts, Pets and more! It’s a great way to see some of the best that the Crown Shop has to offer. The Featured tab shows all the best deals, new products and some of the most popular items in the Crown Shop. The Cards tab is where you’ll find Hoard and Lore Packs, Pet Snacks and Booster Packs with sub-categories for each. Permanent and Rental Mounts have been combined in the Mounts tab, with sub-categories for each. On the Pets tab you can find all the Pets available in the Crown Shop as well as Snack Packs. Gold and Elixirs each have their own tab. The Appearance & Gear tab is much more organized, with sub-categories for Clothing Bundles, Weapons, Amulets, Shoes, Robes, Hats, Transformations, Hairstyles, Rings and Athames. The Housing tab has also received a makeover with sub-categories for Houses, Seeds and Castle Blocks. The final tab on the far right is a new Gameplay tab with convenient sub-categories for Henchmen, Reagent Bundles, Fishing and the Everything selection if you’d like to view all items available in the Crown Shop. When you are in battle, the Henchman tab will still automatically open when you click on the Crown Shop to purchase one. This new category organization will make shopping in the Crown Shop a much more intuitive experience. You’ll also notice the new Recommended Items feature! These are items that are popular in the Crown Shop with other players that share your same school and level. At the top of each section you’ll see up to three Recommended Items for a chosen category or sub-category. For example, if you are searching for a new Weapon for your Wizard in the Crown Shop, you have so many choices it may be overwhelming which one to choose! The Recommended Items are a great place to start looking for a Weapon that is just right for your Wizard.

Find your quest easier! Quests Quest sorting just got a bit easier! The quest window is now be sorted by World in the following order: Wizard City, Krokotopia, Marleybone, MooShu, Dragonspyre, Celestia, Zafaria, Avalon, Azteca, Khrysalis, Wysteria, Grizzleheim, Wintertusk and Aquila. Other quest changes: The Narrator will now direct players to defeat the guards at Stormriven Temple before the gates to the Storm Altar will open for the quest "Kraken Up." Players must defeat the final boss in the Briskbreeze Tower in order to complete the quest “Lost Lieutenant.” Defeating Yakedo will now count toward the goal of “Defeat 10 Enemies” in the quest “Battle of Evermore.” All players will now receive quest completion credit after defeating Shemazan Blightmark for the quest “Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere.” When playing the instance quest “Top of the Rock” with multiple players, additional enemies will no longer spawn after the boss is defeated. Players will no longer receive the “Are you sure you want to leave the dungeon?” pop-up when moving into the Serpent Cave area of the dungeon during the quest “Cor Serpentis” and will no longer be able to enter the Serpent Cave before defeating the Rattle Catchers. The harpy in the quest “Wrath of the Immortals” will no longer be named Cyrus Drake. Players will be able to re-enter the cave to accept the second part of the “Sing a Warsong” quest in Grizzleheim if they port out. Players will not be able to enter the Phoenix Tower top floor before talking to the Fifth Column Mantis during the quest “The Rarest Egg.” Players must defeat the Whirligig Beatles before entering the Crab Cave for the quest “Deep Blue Something.” Players must defeat the Lost Knight before entering the second area of the “Hart of a Star” quest. A proper exit warning will now display if a player tries to exit the “Garrison” quest instance. The instance name will now appear when entering the “Eight-Legged Queen” quest area. Players must now acquire the staff before placing it on the platform to complete the quest “Into the Map Room.”

Rebuild your castle! Housing Good news for messy Arcane Builders! If you would like to restore the original Castle that came with your Arcane Builder’s Bundle, you can now do so. You will need to have all of the Castle Blocks that made up the original Castle. Place all of the blocks required to build the Castle in the area (Indoor and Outdoor areas are separate). Open the Castle Blocks settings window. At the bottom of the screen, click the “Restore Original Castle” button. It will then prompt you to confirm this choice or it will show you which Castle Blocks you are missing in order to complete the request. If you have all of the required pieces placed, it will successfully rebuild the original Castle. Other Housing changes: The Spiral Cup Gauntlet is no longer limited to friends only, but we have made a change so players who aren't friends with the owner cannot use their Spiral Cup Gauntlet while visiting during Castle Tours or Castle Games. The Spiral Cup Gauntlet will now always register as complete after the last boss is defeated. The Bolt of Zeus will be easier to select while hanging on the wall. Objects will no longer get stuck in the Wyrd House. Players can now properly add tile flooring to the middle upper room of the Sunken Palace. The Krokotopian Houseboat, Fantastic Fish Bowl and Magic Treehouse can now be placed in the Shared Bank. The “Go to Commons” button will go to the Castle Tours HQ when visiting top-rated houses on Castle Tours. New Fishing phrases have been added to Customizable Signs. Names for the Midday Estate, Night Garden and Meadows at Dusk have been added to Customizable Signs.

Creature changes! Creatures Players will no longer be prevented from defeating the Gurtok Barrier Demon if they return after getting disconnected during the battle. Lord Ombra and Archmagus Lorcan will respawn more quickly if a player is returning after being defeated.

New Castle Block recipes! Crafting Lloyd Fallingwater in the Shopping District has two new Castle Block Crafting Recipes: Roof/Floor B Castle Block and Roof In Corner Castle Block. Gold amounts will now display properly in the Crafting vendor “Recipe Shop” user interface. Eudora Tangletree in Olde Town no longer sells the Tapestry to Pigswick Academy recipe. (It was removed to prevent a confusing error message that was happening if players did not meet the quest requirements to visit Wysteria while trying to craft it. Don't worry, the tapestry will be making a return in a future update.)

Pet Snack updates! Pets The Chameleon pet no longer gets stuck in the ground in the Way of the Ninja Pig mini game. The Seafood Mocktail is now a Rank 6 Snack. The Catfish Stevens is now a Rank 7 Snack.

Fixing up Fishing! Fishing Fishing Utility spells will now animate and function properly in East Cyclops Channel and West Cyclops Channel in Cyclops Lane. The Fishing bobber will no longer disappear beneath the water surface in Tree of Life. Mounts will no longer unequip if a player logs out while Fishing. Players will no longer accidentally use potion bottles while Fishing. Spacebar will close the caught fish window. An icon will now indicate if a fish is Seasonal. Summon Fish will now cast at a quicker pace in larger ponds. Fishing information has been added to the Help menu in game. Players can no longer access the Fishing menu in non-Fishing areas.

While Fishing, Players will no longer turn to face those around them who are learning a new spell. Your pets are now hidden from view while you're fishing, so they don't get in the way. Fishing tutorial has been adjusted to clarify that pressing spacebar is the same as Invoke Spell. The Reveal Fish or Reveal Fish School spells will no longer break when some fish are scared away.

All the little things! Miscellaneous The Menu Chat window now shows 10 items with arrows for scrolling so that it can be properly viewed on smaller resolution monitors.
