Blacksmiths Fjord Bundle

Posted on June 28, 2021June 28, 2021 by Admin Baldur

The Blacksmith’s Fjord Bundle is the second new bundle of 2021, and we are excited to explore it with you! This Grizzleheim-themed bundle is available at Gamestop and comes with the following items:

Blacksmith’s Fjord Castle
Permanent Fjord Dragon Mount
Forge Goblin Pet
Forgemaster’s Gear
Forgemaster’s Sword
1-month prepaid membership or 5,000 crowns

Blacksmith's fjord house

The Blacksmith’s Fjord is a beautiful piece of Grizzleheim you can call your own. This serene retreat sits right on the river with a tower to keep watch over your home away from home. The docks bring a beautiful light to the endless fishing available in this home. We found the Steelhead Doodlefish and seasonal fish. We can’t help but wonder what other fish will show themselves here? Let us know what you find!

To the side of the docks, you will find your very own watchtower lined with shields. You can touch the sky! Well, almost, but you are getting a better view of the waterfalls and endless scenery.

Beside your castle, you will find the hard-at-work water wheel, supplying the power and energy needed to keep the famous Grizzleheim forges up and running.

Let’s venture inside and see what else awaits us!

Stunning vaulted ceilings greet you when you walk through the doors. You can tell the previous owners built this place to last; the exposed beams were carved with such care. You will also find an excellent themed bank to store all of your gear and items.

Venturing down the halls of this home, we find the main attraction, the Blacksmith’s Forge. This fiery furnace, powered with the help of the water wheel, will get the job done. Walk up and interact with it to get a pleasant daily surprise. Who knows, you might get some Amber, a valuable reagent used for many Spell Card recipes. Walk upstairs, and you will find the great hall where you and your guests can feast and swap tales.

If you look around, you might find some hidden secrets lying within.

The Gear

The kit consists of the Forgemaster’s Helm, Forgemaster’s Smock, and Forgemaster’s Boots. Each piece gives one Grizzleheim Lore spell. In addition, the Helm offers Hammer of Thor, the Smock gives Grendel’s Amends, and the Boots have Ratatoskr’s Spin. The Boots are especially high in Damage, Resistance, and Health at all tiers. They are a great option for any Life Wizard, especially with the Ratatoskr’s Spin card. The Helm is high in offensive stats and adds some pierce the boots do not have. The Smock follows in the same pattern as most bundle robes. It offers a defensive build with high Health, Resistance, Critical Block, and Outgoing Healing, which combines well with the Grendel’s Amends card.

The Wand

The Forgemaster’s Sword is one of our favorite pieces of this bundle. The beautiful Norse-style blade is fresh from the forge! Glowing bright and engraved with magical runes, it makes a fantastic stitch piece for any Wizard.

Not only is it stunning, but the stats on this wand are also notable. It is common for bundle wands to have mid-level stats, and the new Forgemaster’s Sword is no exception until level 100. I chose to redeem mine at that level, which gave me 42 Critical Rating, 11% Damage, one Power Pip, and 13 Shadow Rating. It makes for a significant and timely upgrade from your Sky Iron Hasta. Even the level 110 and 120 tiers of this sword are as impressive.

While it still has decent stats at lower levels, it may not be the best choice since it doesn’t surpass the Sky Iron Hasta’s damage until level 100. This Wand comes with attack cards for Myth, Life, and Storm. The Forgemaster’s Sword also has a May-cast Chromatic Blast spell at levels 100 – 140. Chromatic Blast gives a Universal +5% damage per pip blade to the caster. This May cast provides the wand with the potential strategy of countering Wards in exchange for an extra blade.

The Pet

Made from cinder and smoke, with a heart of fire is the Forge Goblin pet. The first-generation talent pool contains zero common talents, six uncommon, two rare, one ultra-rare, and one epic talent. This gives our fiery friend a total pedigree score of fifty-two.

The Forge Goblin gives one Shatter Card at Teen and another at Ancient. Its first-generation stats are as follows:

250 Strength
195 Intellect
200 Agility
235 Will
185 Power

These are impressive stats for a first-generation pet. If you’re looking for a starting point for your hatch or a unique pet to use, this could be the one. When it comes to training, this pet likes Death school snacks and Meal type snacks. When I raised the Forge Goblin to Mega, it manifested; Attentive, Death-Shot, Death Dealer, Death Assailant, and Forceful. What did yours get? Given the talents we’ve seen, this pet seems like it could make a great Death starter pet.

The Mount

The permanent Fjord Dragon mount is a single-rider, 40% speed boost mount. This blue and green dragon slithers gracefully through the air. Its wings resemble spring leaves, the perfect complement to any green stitch. But, don’t let its stoic stare scare you! This fierce, elegant dragon is here to help you traverse the Spiral.

In Conclusion

This concludes our review of the Blacksmith’s Fjord Bundle. It’s a unique addition to the Grizzleheim-themed homes and items.

The Forgemaster’s Gear gear will help you in your adventures through the Spiral. This bundle’s wand at high tiers adds more variety when deciding what you will use while questing. This bundle brings cool-looking gear that packs a punch of damage and resistance. The Forge Goblin pet is an excellent addition to any Death collection. The Fjord Dragon is a unique mount that will stand out. We are impressed.

We hope this helps you decide if this is the right bundle for you. We look forward to seeing what you create. Tell us what you think of the Forgemaster’s Bundle in the comments below.

See you around the Spiral!

Pet Trainer Bundle

Posted on December 7, 2020December 7, 2020 by Morgan_Shade

Burrow your way to adventure with the fantastic Pet Trainer Bundle for Wizard101! This excellent addition to the Spiral brings you a faithful companion and gear to help you on your adventures! For $29.00 at Gamestop, you get a fantastic gear set, speedy mount, cute pet, and some unique housing items!

The Pet Trainer Bundle includes:

– Pet Burrow Teleporter

– Pet Door Teleporter

– Fur Wheeler Mount

– Pup Prodigy Pet

– Pet Trainer Attire

– Pawzooka Weapon

– One Month of Wizard101 Membership or 5000 Crowns

Doors & Burrows

Exclusive to this new bundle are the Pet Burrows and Pet Door teleporters. These special teleporters add more ways to play as your pet, allowing you to travel anywhere your little heart desires! Wizards are too big to fit! You’ll have to become one with your furry friend to venture through!

The Burrow will blend in with the nature outside of your castle, meanwhile, the door compliments any home interior. These teleporters are only usable while playing as your pet and are too small for Wizards to fit. Once you’re at home, set up the Teleporter while decorating your house. When chosen, a circle will appear that you’ll have to place; this is where you’ll get teleported to. After you’ve selected the location, you may choose the Teleporter again and place it.

With these teleporters, you can open up new possibilities for one-of-a-kind party games with your pets. You can create discrete hidden entrances to your other castles or secret passages to the best hiding places for Hide-and-Seek. They also make a great addition to any maze!

Hamster Power!

Next up, we’re going to take a look at one of the cutest mounts, the Fur Wheeler! Horse power is a thing of the past, because this new mount is full of energy. Why? It’s powered by none other than the Ravenwood Hamster! This mount will have you zooming around the Spiral with its +40% speed. All your friends are going to be jealous when they see you doing wheelies and tricks on this board.

A Wizard's Best Friend

You also get a furry and faithful companion with this bundle! The Pup Prodigy Pet will be by your side through everything Wizard101 has to offer. Equipped with his glasses and a calculator, this is one smart pup. He’s a Balance School pet, equipped with an Accurate spell card as a baby. So you’ll never miss that dire hit to save your tail.

First-generation Pup Prodigies have a Pedigree Score of fifty-six and the following stats:

Strength: 210
Intellect: 240
Agility: 210
Will: 190
Power: 200

First-generation talents can include; Big Energy, which pairs with the Bundle’s gear set. Lively, that will increase Incoming Healing, an excellent thing for any maycast pet. Next, there’s Balance Assailant, granting a bonus to your Balance Critical Rating. Finally, there’s May Cast Balance Blade, which gives your pet a chance to help you by casting a universal blade. These are only a select few talents this pet can get.

Once you train this prodigy to Adult, you also gain another card: Disarm. This card removes one positive charm from your opponent. This pet lends itself well to expanding your energy reserves given its base Talent pool. Making the Pup Prodigy an excellent choice to take Fishing or Gardening. This pet would also make a decent Support pet or May Cast Heal pet.

Got to Train 'Em All

Moving on, we have the Pet Trainer Gear. This is by far the best energy set you can get in the game and the best part? You don’t have to struggle opening tons of packs for it! This outfit is ready for anything with all the tools needed to train your magical menagerie. You’ll definitely want this outfit the next time you’re at the Pet Pavilion. But why stop there? With all the Energy this outfit grants, you’ll have no problem tending your garden or going fishing!

The higher tiers of this outfit also offer a variety of Animus extraction cards. So this set may come in handy if you’re out gathering Animus!

Next slide

This set provides the same amount of Energy as the Yule Logger Gear, and Light Elf sets. Both are heralded as the best Energy gear sets you can get, but they’re also seasonal items. Which means the there’s a limited window to get them each year. The beauty of the Pet Trainer Attire is that it’s guaranteed. Meaning you won’t have to spend countless Crowns opening packs or wait an entire year to get the best Energy set.

When it comes to this bundle’s style, I must say I’m impressed with the look. The Pawzooka is one of the more unique looking wands in the game. With a crosshair for insane accuracy and extra tennis balls, you’ll always be ready to play fetch.

The stats aren’t particularly glorious, as this set focuses on Energy. The lowest tier has 2% damage, a nice boost for first level wizards. The max tier option has 3% Peirce, +85 Critical, 8% damage, and 245 pip conversion. Not the ideal choice for combat at high levels, but the gear makes up for it with its fabulous look.

In Conclusion

That concludes the review of the Pet Trainers Bundle; it’s unique and has outstanding elements! The equipment is currently tied for the best Energy gear in the game. The Pup Prodigy is adorable and provides a great starting point for expanding your energy reserves. The Fur Wheeler mount is cute and fun, with it’s a nod to the Ravenwood Hamster. The Pawwzooka’s stats are a bit underwhelming, but it makes for a great stitch! Finally, the Pet Burrows and Pet Doors are nothing like what we’ve seen before. I’m excited to see what Wizards will do with them!

Thank you all for joining me on this review. I hope it helps you choose whether this is the bundle for you. Should you pick up this card and see how awesome it is for yourself, I’ll see you skating around the Spiral!

Candied Isles Bundle

Posted on November 20, 2020November 20, 2020 by Ravynlea

Welkommen to the Ravenwood Academy’s official review on the brand new Candied Isle Bundle! My name is DruBoo and I am here to guide you through the new content, step by step. Rest assured, this bundle is filled with all sorts of sweet surprises but you won’t find anything sour here!

Let’s begin where all journeys do, the Spiral Door! What a delightful view. Wizards will be captivated right away by the friendly, grass-filled, Karamelle themed wonderland. Thanks, Nana! In the distance, you will find scenic trees, a winding river, a cozy town square, and even a huge mountain that you can explore!

Welcome to Candyland

This is the town square! Here you will find 5 awesome houses, placed elegantly in a cozy circle formation. This area captures the sweetness of Karamelle and all its delights. In the center of the square, you will find a chocolate fountain that holds some pretty sweet daily rewards!

You may be wondering… where does all of this chocolate come from? Luckily, I found the chocolatier! A never-ending source of molten chocolate can be found under the town square, in a beautiful cave, surrounded with all sorts of wonderful sweets, all embedded into its chocolatey walls! Delicious, delightful, de-lovely!

Moving away from the town square, we come upon quite a monumintal mountain! The view from the top is breathtaking. You can see everything, from the wafer roof-tops to the peppermint PvP ring! Sweet! Before you enter it though, make sure you are not biting off more than you can chew!

You thought that was it? Well, I hope you saved room for dessert because we are just getting started! This bundle is full of fun little treats! Speaking of fun… your Wizard has the ability to drift up or down, and use a sleigh on the winding ice ramp that starts at the top of the mountain! For the more sensible Wizards, a door can be found at the bottom and top of the mountain, allowing for easy access!

The Extra Goodies

Sweetish Chef Set and Marshfellow Pet!

Okay, let’s talk gear! This bundle comes with a hat, robe, boots, and wand that would be at home in any magical bakery, and a toasty roasty marshmallow pet of your very own! The level 130 Sweetish Chef set can be seen below. This gear adds to the ever growing collection of “item set bonuses.” that came to Wizard101 this year. Three pieces of this gear will grant an extra 4% universal damage. Four pieces will earn you an additional 5% universal resist and, if you manage to get 5 pieces, your Wizard will be rewarded with 6% more outgoing healing as well as 8% more power pip chance! Look out, Nana! The gear comes with a variety of different statistics, it is up to you to decide if using some, or all of the gear is worth the whisk!

Sweet Ride!

No really, that’s the mount’s name. Here you can see my stylish new vehicle. It comes equipped with chocolate-flavored syrup, a dazzling arrangement of sprinkles, and yes… It has a cherry on top! All of this, paired with a 40% speed boost. I sure do hope the brakes work on this thing!

This bundle can be found at GameStop for $39 and comes with:

– Candied Isles Village

– “Sweet Ride” Mount

-” Marshfellow” Pet

– “Sweetish Chef” Gear

– “Whisk of Doom” Weapon

– One-month membership or 5,000 Crowns!

With that, our scrumptious journey has come to an appetizing end. Whether it’s the vibrant town square, the smell of warm cookies rising from the ground below, or the fun-filled sleigh ride this bundle is sure to become a fan favorite!

Wizard101: New Druids Hoard Pack

Posted on January 3, 2020February 29, 2020 by Sarai Willowbreeze

Wizard101 is starting a magical new year with the mystical New Druids Hoard Pack. Inspired by the Catacombs, there are many exciting new items! The gear is graceful, the pets are inspired and the mounts are fierce. After all, they are badgers! Being a castle decorator, I was especially excited to see what new housing items these packs would bring.

Since gear is the first thing on everyones mind when we get a new pack, we’ll start with that. There are three different sets available. We have The Ancient Druidic Gear, The Spellwrights Druidic Gear and The Treeminders Druidic Gear. Similar to the gear in other recent packs, they boost the stats for at least two schools each.

Druidic Gear

The first set we’ll look at is the Ancient Druidic Gear.

The Druidic Gear gives damage, pierce and critical boosts to the Ice and Storm schools. At level 130 it also gives you a hefty 11% shadow pip boost. Three cards come with the complete set. The cowl has a -55 Black Mantle. The robes have a zero pip Bestow, which allows you to give a pip to a player on your team, and the boots have Freeze, which Stuns your target for one round.

The Druidic Robes are stunning, with golden scrollwork accenting the shoulders and front seam. The colors are muted but complement each other well.

Next, we have The Spellwrights Druidic Gear.

This gear set boosts damage, critical and pierce for Life, Balance and Myth schools. As with the Ancient Gear, this set gives an 11% shadow pip boost at level 130. The spells that come with this gear are a +30 Balanceblade, Bestow, and Stun.

This set boasts brighter shades of green and white, making the scroll work really pop!

Finally, we have The Treeminders Druidic Gear.

This set boosts the final two schools, Fire and Death. As with the other sets, it gives damage, critical and pierce. Once again, we get an 11% shadow pip boost at level 130. The spells that come with this set are -30 Weakness, Bestow, and Choke. All handy utility spells that can assist any Wizard.

These robes are more somber with darker colors, but quite elegant in appearance.

Unfortunately, none of the gear is dye-able. In my opinion that’s a shame. I can imagine some stunning color combinations that could be used. In my opinion, the gear is decent stat-wise. All three sets are perfect for an elegant, mystical stitch.

Sickle and Shield

The wands that come in these packs are called Sickle and Shield. We have Ancient Druid, Spellwright and Treeminders wands. They all come with exciting new may-cast spells! Shift Ancient is a drain that damages your enemy while healing you. Shift Spellwright heals all, and Shift Treeminder hits all enemies. These wands give pierce, critical, critical block, damage, and pip conversion. The wand attack is a shadow spell with 165 damage.

Mounts and pets

You’ll find three new mounts and three adorable pets in the new pack. The badger mounts all give a +40 speed boost. We have the Attack Badger, the Battle Badger and the Combat Badger. The only difference between them is the color of the saddle and horns. Yes, badgers in the Spiral have horns!

The pets are inspired by the seasons spring, summer and winter. The Spring Sproutling is a Life pet that comes with the Hamadryad spell. This is an 800 heal-all that also removes a damage-over-time from your team. The Summer Sproutling is a Fire pet that comes with the Rain of Fire spell. The Winter Sproutling is an Ice pet that comes with a Lord of Winter card.

Housing

Ok, now, my favorite part of any new pack! It was all I could do to keep from putting these first, lol. I’m definitely a housing hoarder! Sometimes, I feel like a kid in a candy store when it comes to new housing items in Wizard101, and this pack did not disapoint.

The Druids Hoard pack has brought more awesome housing guests and items for us to enjoy. From broken furniture and ruined paintings to amber orbs and a spectacular new fountain, there is something for everyone. I’m looking forward to seeing the ways y’all are going to utilize them!

Well, there you have it! The New Druid Hoard Pack is full of exciting new must-haves that can enhance any Wizard. What are your favorite things in this pack? Will you be trying to get the mount? The pet? The gear? Lets us know what your favorite item is in the comments below!

Under the Deep Blue Sea

Posted on October 27, 2019November 18, 2019 by Sarai Willowbreeze

KingsIsles newest housing bundle is here! The Undersea Enchantment Bundle is an underwater landscape that makes me wonder if they have found a piece of Atlantis and brought it to the Spiral. With the moon shining down to light the seafloor, a crab guarding the Spiral Door, and lighted bubble windows, this house is full of special touches that make you want to explore. Inside the castle you will find elegant golden scrollwork and trim, again bringing to mind the majesty of Atlantis. Is this the discovery of a lifetime? Have you found Atlantis? Will you join the ranks of legendary explorers of years gone by? Join me as we explore the depths of the Spirals ocean and discover it’s treasures!

Briny Deep Retreat

This retreat is aptly named, it’s like your very own retreat within the heart of the deep blue sea. Arches of stone surround the perimeter with smooth columns of rock off of the edges. Coral grows from nooks and crannies blanketing the entire landscape. Presiding over the Spiral Door, a large crab sits watching the bubbles float by. Inside the crab, you will find an open cavern that you can enter. The actual castle itself lends an air of wonder to the landscape with glowing bubble-shaped windows and curved edges. The peaks have the appearance of a conch shell, twisting into the air. There is a clam that gives a daily reward. Can you find the hidden pathways? And guess what, this castle has a special new surprise! You can place your fish in it without tanks! You can also use Castle Magic on the fish you place! That just might be one of my favorite things about this new castle, just imagine all the exciting, new possibilities!

The interior is actually quite elegant. Soft ocean colors surround you on the floors and walls. A very intricate golden scrollwork is plentiful throughout the hallways and rooms, lining the walls and even creating a banister. You can also fish in the pond in the central area! A true underwater treasure sparkling with the gifts of the sea.

Dolphin Chariot Mount

This is a BIG mount, so be prepared! Now that I have that out of the way, it is so adorable! Your chariot glides majestically behind 2 dolphins, attached with golden ropes. Besides all the charm, it gives a +40% speed boost. This is going to be a lot of fun to use!

Seahorse pet

If you aren’t already having an overload of cuteness from the mount, you will now with this adorable pet! May I present, the Seahorse pet!

Briny Deep Gear

Quite an interesting set we have here, not only stats-wise, but also in appearance. The hat has a fin across the top, the robes have scales, the cape looks like a fish’s tail, and the boots have side fins. A very creative nautical design that fits perfectly with the theme of the castle.

Armaments of the Briny Deep

What an amazing looking wand and shield combo they have given us in this bundle! This beautiful wand is deep-sea inspired, with seashells and scrollwork embellishment. If the stats won’t work for you, it would certainly be worth using to stitch.

As usual, the bundle also comes your choice of a 1-month membership or 5000 Crowns.

Well, there you have it! A most spectacular addition to the list of castles available. Personally, with the gentle beauty of this one, it might just become my favorite. I’m already thinking about how to decorate it to make the most of what it has to offer. Do you plan on getting it? What do you think of this bundle? Let us know in the comments!

Carnival of Creepy Fun!

Posted on October 8, 2019November 18, 2019 by Sarai Willowbreeze

KingsIsle has just released their newest bundle for Halloween! Following what they have done in the past, this one comes with another fabulous ride for your Wizards to enjoy. You’ll find it at Gamestop for $29.00. This bundle comes with Gear, a Mount, a Pet AND a fabulous ride on Ferris Wheel!

Come with me as we explore the “Creepier Carnival Bundle”

For me the highlight of this bundle is the Scare-Us-Wheel. It is a 6 person rideable housing item. Sitting on a vortex base, it has clawed arms reaching from it’s depths. As with the carousel, you have 4 different views to choose from while riding it.

A wonderful addition for any Halloween castle!

Next we have the Evil Carnival Wagon. A wonderfully eerie 4 person mount that gives +40 speed. Done with faded shades of red and blue, it has skulls and scrollwork in gold. A colony of bats accompanies you wherever you go. Hanging lanterns will light your path.

So much fun to travel in!

The pet that comes with this bundle is a Frankenstein style Teddy Bear, appropriately named “Scare Bear”. A Death school pet, he comes with an animate card at baby. With glowing red eyes and stuffing falling from his stitches, he will be a creepy addition to any pet collection.

Sinister Harlequin Gear

If you enjoy being a “trickster”, this gear is for you. It has the classic Harlequin appearance, checkered robes, multi pointed hat with mask, and shoes with curled toes and striped socks. As a whole, the gear isn’t the best when it comes to stats, but individually some of the pieces are pretty decent. It all depends on the stats that you want to have.

Mallet of the Midway

The wand that comes with the bundle isn’t impressive to look at, but, I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised by the stats. Starting out at Tier 1 with 4% universal damage makes it a powerful piece for new wizards. The top tier wand is also impressive with 3% pierce, 85% critical, 15% damage, 225 pip conversion, and 2 square jewel slots, making this a very useful wand to have.

There you have it! Another wonderful Halloween bundle from KingsIsle. I hope this will help you to decide if this is a bundle for you. Let me know what your favorite part of it is in the comments!

Sailing with Sinbad

Posted on September 12, 2019November 18, 2019 by Sarai Willowbreeze

Join me as we set sail in Wizard101’s newest gauntlet, Sinbad and the Iron Sultan. And guess what…..It’s Craftable!

Visit Lloyd Fallingwater in the shopping district to purchase the recipe under the furniture tab. He also has 2 new recipes for the reagents needed to craft this magnificent Gauntlet.

Recipe price for Gauntlet: 10,000 gold

Recipe price for Transmute Magnificent Clay: 2,000 gold

Recipe price for Transmute Marvelous Clay: 2,000 gold

Crafting the gauntlet requires Red Magical Clay, another new reagent that I have yet to locate as a drop within the Spiral.

You will find the Marvelous and Magical Clay reagents that are required for crafting, in the new Sinbad Hoard Pack!

The new gauntlet is also available for purchase on the Wizard 101 website. A $39.00 bundle with the Gauntlet and 7500 Crowns!

Sinbad Hoard Pack

The gear that’s available in the new Hoard pack is the “Fleet Kapudan’s Attire”, the “Sky Captains Attire”, and the “Grand Admirals Attire” The wand is the “Boarding Hook”. The new mount is a very cool and unusual looking 2-headed bird. Last, but definitely not least, is the Gryphon pet, which is a simply adorable puppy like creature.

Credit for the screenshot of the Kapudans Boarding Hook goes to Destiny Thunderstaff

In addition to the new gear, you will find a lot of great new housing items in the packs. These items are also dropped in the gauntlet.

There is also a new summon treasure card that comes in this pack. It’s Sinbad himself! I cannot wait to use this and see what kind of spells he has available.

The Gauntlet

Together, we’ll travel to the Isle of Metallos upon the ship Chimera. Sinbad and his 1st mate Lemmi accompany us as we forge our way through through the depths of the dungeon.

Upon entering you find yourself at the Port of Ferros, speaking with Sinbad and his 1st mate, Lemmi. They ask your assistance in finding and getting rid of an Evil Magician who goes by the name Hari Houssen. He has possession of a magical jewel that grants amazing transmutation powers, called the Iommi stone. The Sultan has offered a handsome reward to anyone who can free the citizens of the Isle of Metallos from him and his minions.

The Isle of Metallos is a lava filled cave full of destruction. Craggy ledges, broken bridges, and many tunnels lend an overwhelming sense of doom throughout the entire dungeon. Keep your eyes open, as there is a secret hidden boss within the gauntlet.

Your first mob battle will be against a metal version of the Minotaur, a Metaltaur! They are Ice School mobs, with 4,835 health. Watch out, they are truly a “beast” to beat!

The second battle finds you up against a mob of metallic versions of Cyclops, named Chromeclops. They are Myth School with 5,565 health, and you battle 3 of them. They hit hard at over 4,500 damage, so be well protected. Made of chrome, they have a single focus, so attack on their blind side!

After defeating the cyclops, you travel on to a room where you find a metallic version of the Skeletal Pirate, aptly named Steeleton. They are Death School and have a health of 4,780. Personally, I found them easier than the Chromeclops. I really “rattled their bones”.

After that battle, following the path that the Steeletons sent you on, you finally reach the summit. It’s there that you come face to face with Hari. When you enter, you will find him in the middle of a transmutation spell to turn his dragon into gold. As he changes into the Iron Sultan, you must stop him and retrieve the Ione Stone! *Note to KI, LOVE the guitar shred!”

For the final battle of this gauntlet you will be up against the Iron Sultan, his Golden Dragon and a Skeeleton. The Iron Sultan is Storm School, with 13,875 health. The Golden Dragon is Sun School with a health of 5,875. The Steeleton is Death, as before with the same health of 4,780.

Make sure you have a good strong team here, the Sulton is strong with attack spells hitting well over 6,000!

Now that you have defeated the Iron Sultan and retrieved the Iommi Stone, you will be rewarded with this awesome statue to commemorate your grand adventure. Make sure you pick it up. Well done! As an added surprise this statue will give you a daily reward, so check it every day.

I hope this article helps you on your way to crafting the new Gauntlet, and will also help you get through it. If you find items that I have not listed, comment below and I’ll add it in and give you credit for your discovery!

Thanks for reading!

Happily Everafter

This incredible new castle is by far one of my favorites! The entire estate is full of fairytales and fables, from Mother Goose to The Brothers Grimm. What truly caught my attention was the morals behind the fairytales represented. I don’t know if KingIsle had an ulterior motive behind their selection of fables, but if they did…..BRAVO! Each area of this home has positive morals hidden within the fable itself.

The Land of Fairytales and Fables

As we arrive through the Spiral Door, we see many pathways leading from a central farmhouse. The central farmhouse also has a small barn with a secret tunnel that leads to the main house. There are multiple gardening areas all around the central farmhouse. As a bonus, this house is a like for your plants! There is also a lovely lake with a stream for fishing. I haven’t quite figured out what fairytale the main farmhouse represents. Maybe Jack and the Beanstalk? What do you think it could be? I would love to hear your ideas in the comments below!

The first house we’ll visit represents Mother Goose and The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe. It’s a multi-level house, 4 stories inside, with quaint details. The last 2 stories are reached by climbing a ladder, how fun! The rooms inside are smallish, but have plenty of space for decorating in your style.

In the Old Woman and the Shoe, there is a woman who has so many children she doesn’t know what to do! The moral of this story is, listen to your parents and have good behavior.

From there we go to visit the 3 Little Pigs, a fable originally published in 1886. You’ll find a straw house, a house of twigs, and a brick house. These are cute little 1 room shacks. To the left of them is a path that when followed takes you through a cave to the next house.

Just as the 3 Little Pigs worked hard to accomplish their dreams, so can you! The moral of this story is you can accomplish anything with hard work and dedication.

The next house we come to is the witches’ house from the Brothers Grimm tale, Hansel and Gretel. This is a fabulous rendition of the enticing candy house. The entire structure is covered in sweet treats that sparkle in the sunlight. The interior has 2 rooms that are vibrantly colored, matching the outside. If you go through the side of the large tree stump, it takes you underground, coming out int the main area of the castle.

Hansel and Gretel got into loads of trouble because they didn’t listen to their parents and trusted someone they didn’t know. The moral of this story is to always listen to your parents and don’t trust strangers.

After climbing a hill, we find ourselves at a wishing well. This well has a daily gift for your Wizard! On this occasion I recieved gold and a pet snack. Climbing a hill to a well is from an old 18th century nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.

Jack was in such a hurry that he forgot to stay safe and be careful. The moral in this story is to avoid being hasty and do things carefully.

Rising to the sky we have the Brothers Grimm again, this time with Rapunzels Tower. This whimsical structure has 3 stories with a winding walkway that circles around the main floors.

Rapunzel dreamed of getting out of her tower and patiently waited for that wonderful day to arrive. The moral of this story is to never give up on your hopes and dreams!

There is a hidden door behind the waterfall that takes you to the lower level of Rapunzels Tower!

The mount that comes with the bundle is none other than the Pumpkin Carriage from Cinderella! This is another great multi-person mount from KingsIsle, this one with stunning details.

Cinderella had a hard life but kept a happy heart no matter what. The moral in this story is to be kind, forgive others, and don’t let bad things ruin a good heart.

The pet that comes with this bundle is the adorable, or should I say “toad–orable” Noble Toad! As his crown shows, he comes from a long line of Noble Toads!

Gear fit for a King or Queen

If you’ve ever wanted to have a regal look, this is the gear for you. The stats won’t replace your dungeon farmed gear, but it will make an amazing stitch!

This wand is utterly amazing, so very eerie! It’s called Poison Apple. Once again, the stats are not the greatest but it would be another awesome stitch. Does anyone remember where a poison apple comes from? That’s right, Snow White!

Snow White was envied for her inner beauty as much as for her outer beauty. Her good-hearted trust in everyone caused problems for her. The moral to this story is that real beauty comes from within, and once again don’t trust strangers.

KingsIsle has outdone themselves with this bundle! Not only is it an adorable castle with many features, but it also has wonderful morals for the children of the game. I hope you enjoyed this walkthrough of the Fantastic Fairytale Farm! If you see any other fairytales or fables represented that I missed, let us know in the comments below! Until next time, may all your dreams come true!

NEW Nimbari Hoard Pack

Posted on February 11, 2019February 15, 2019 by Kyle Sword

The new Nimbari hoard pack is super awesome and our first pack to release in 2019! With that comes some high expectations and I don’t think it is letting us down! So let’s dive right in!

Pets

You’re going to get a lot of different pets throughout these packs. You will get millions variations, like a Fairyfly, Goat Monk, Storm Bird and a Storm Golem.

Of course the pet you’d really want is the Ultra-Rare Hurricanine pet. This adorable guy sadly only seems to give Storm Dealer as a talent you’d be wanting. But I’m personally willing to hatch as many times as it takes to get this adorable little dude a great set of stats! He also comes with a Galvanic Field item card. Not as good as a blade, but still nice to have.

Gear

Ah what you’ve really come for! Everyone always needs to know how important these packs are and how they will affect the meta of gear choice. The answer: A lot.

The wands at max level are honestly fantastic, in particular for storm. It’s best to think of them as superior versions of the revered crafting wands, but only in critical and damage. This wand allows my storm to reach 99.8% critical (give or take) with 162 damage! They also come with fairly beefy Shift Maycasts that can allow you to get a nice bit of cheeky extra damage!

The boots and hat are also phenomenal at lower levels, trumping Waterworks and House of Scales gear!

Furniture

This is something I personally don’t like. There are 7 different furniture items tagged as Ultra-Rare, meaning they’re equally as rare as the wands, robes and the pet.

They’re cool, don’t get me wrong, and using them I made this awesome little scene in my Arcanum Apartment, but still not the best. Perhaps this was to balance the dropping of these great gear pieces? We’ll never know.

Other than that the other pieces of furniture are nice and the variety of fans to add to the regular ones we saw with Whirlyburly is awesome!

Mount

The Nimbari Chariot looks pretty cool. It’s nice and unobtrusive and looks different enough, but it’s nothing spectacular.

Still you will not be complaining if you get this Epic drop. It seats two wizards with a standard speed boost of 40%. Overall, rather cool.

So with all that said, I think we can all agree that the Nimbari hoard pack was actually pretty successful and great to have. I love what it’s allowed me to do in my house as well as my gear. It gets my seal of approval!
