Autumn Myth in Wysteria

Last week Autumn Myth completed the world of Wysteria.  Wysteria is one of my favorite worlds. I love the concept of the tournament and another wizard school.  Anyway, I had a good time questing there.  Here are some pictures of my adventures.

So those are some pictures from my Wysteria experience.  Now I am switching between questing in Grizzleheim and Marleybone.  I will be updating on my progress through those worlds soon.  Thanks for reading!  See you next time.

Guide to Free Housing Items Around the Spiral

Hello wizards!  I don't know if you have ever noticed, but all around the Spiral, there are housing items that can be picked up for free.  I was talking to some friends and realized that not everyone knows where they are all located.  Here are the ones I know about and their locations.  *Note* I may be updating this with maps as well, but I'm not sure yet.

Wizard City
Lynx Gazer (Ravenwood, Myth School) - To the right of Cyrus Drake.

Tiny Arched Door (Shopping District, Pet Shop) - To the right of the pet vendor, against the wall.

Open Book (Triton Ave, Harvest Lord Tower) - To the right of the door, on the floor.

Brain Jar (Haunted Cave, Stormdrain Tower) - On the desk behind Lord Nightshade.

Pen and Ink (Firecat Alley, Anna Flamewright's House) - On the table off to the right of the door.

Krokotopia
Tall Ladder (Chamber of Fire) - Located to the right of the ramp that leads up to Assistant Danforth.

Sledgehammer (Palace of Fire) - Located to the right of the entrance to Nesbit's Chamber, across from Private Farnsworth.

Bowl of Tomatoes (Krokosphinx) - Located to the right of the Boots, Rings, and Pets Shopkeeper.

Tall Pumpkin (Hall of Champions) - On the floor to the left of Rami.

Hieroglyphic Fire Tablet (Karanahn Barracks) - Off to the right of the door that leads to the area with the islands and bridges.

Marleybone
Coil of Rope (Spiral Chamber) - Located behind the spiral door, off to the left.

Green Food Cart (Digmoore Station) - Located to the right of the entrance.

Hairdini Playbill (Scotland Yard) - Located on the backside of the wall behind Officer McRuff.

Discarded Newspaper (Scotland Yard Roof) - To the right of the stairs.

Framed Campsite Photo (Royal Museum) - Go into the museum and off to the left, toward Counterweight West. It's the photo closest to the elevator.

Mooshu
Stone Obelisk (Jade Palace/Spiral Chamber) - Go behind the platform where the spiral door is.

Yellow Silk Kimono (Jade Palace) - Go into the Emperor's Throne Room (where Jade Oni is) and the kimono is off to the right of the entrance.

Stone (Kishibe Village) - Located behind Tu Luk Kwo,

Samoorai Bust (Hametsu Village) - Located in a fire directly across from Jo Feng in the village.

Serpent Tablet (Shirataki Temple) - Go into the room where you fight Plague Oni and the Serpent tablet is to the left of the entrance.

Dragonspyre
Lava Fountain (Basilica) - Go to the bottom level where Prospector Zeke is.

Dragonskull Obelisk (Atheneum) - Go up the stairs in the library and go to the right, and into the room where the Robe and Hat Shopkeeper is.

Pillory (Plaza of Conquests) - Go into Sandor Spearcaller's tower and the pillory is off to the left.

Dragon Wall Bust (The Crucible) - Go through Dragonspyre Academy and into The Crucible. Go straight a little ways and there is a curved path to the left. Go down the path and the Dragon Wall Bust is high up on the building.

These are all the items that I have found so far.  As far as I know, there aren't any free items in Grizzleheim, Wintertusk, Wysteria, Celestia, or Zafaria.  I really hope Kingsisle decides to add some in future updates.  There are items in all these worlds that I would like to have.  Comment below and tell me some items you would like to see available as free pick-ups.

Also, if you know where more items can be found, send me an email at secretsofthespiral@hotmail.com.  I will add it to this post and give you credit.

Thanks for reading.  See you around the spiral!

Autumn Myth Makes it to Marleybone

Hey everyone!  I have been kind of busy leveling the last few days and I have good news and bad news.  The good news is that Autumn Myth is now level 32 and has finished Krokotopia. (She has also finished Wysteria as well, but I will talk about that in a separate post.) The bad news is that means she is going to be starting to quest in Marleybone, my least favorite world.

I have been "cheating" a little and using my other account, the one with Dreamwalker and Winterbreeze, to help level so that things go faster.  As confusing as 2 accounts can be sometimes, gargantuan sandstorm/blizzard really does make those collection quests go really quickly. I have also been questing with a friend who has a storm wizard that is at around the same place as me with the quests, Scot Raincaller (Soulhammer).  So you will probably be seeing him in my posts about questing through Marleybone.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Autumn's adventures through Krokotopia.
Cyclops.  I think this was for a spell quest, but I'm not sure which one.

Heal!

My minion fizzling. I didn't know that "The Fizzles" were contagious :P

Ice Mander

Dead Krok.

Things got a lot easier once I had Humongofrog!

Attack of the banshee!

Death by frog vomit.....Not a pleasant way to die :P

Finally getting ready to fight Krokopatra.  It's not everyday you get to fight a Krok wearing lipstick :D

Done with Krokotopia and getting the Spiral Key to Marleybone!
Well that's all for today.  Look for my post about Wysteria coming hopefully tomorrow.  I am also going to try to finish up some more "Guide" posts in the upcoming weeks, so look for those as well.  Thanks for reading and see you next time!

Meet Autumn Myth

Hey fellow wizards!  Sorry for the long absence from blogging, but I was busy with the holidays and other things in real life and not spending too much time on Wizard101.

Anyway, I finally was able to start playing again a few days ago and I made a new wizard.  As you can probably tell from the title, she is a myth wizard named Autumn Myth.  As of this post, she is level 23 and questing in The Grand Arena, Krokotopia.  I have also already leveled her through Saverstaad Pass in Grizzleheim.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take screen shots of her adventures through Wizard City, but here are a few of her last couple achievements.
Starting Krokotopia

Summoning Cyclops

Autumn Dreamwalker was helping to make things go quicker, until I got humongofrog.

They used my own cards against me!

Gargantuan sandstorm made things go very fast!

Yay! Finally got humongofrog!

Humongofrog in action!

And done with the first area of Grizzleheim.

Initiate Gardener (level 4)
So that's a brief overview of what I have been up to the last few days.  I have a couple more levels until I can go to Wysteria, which is one of my favorite worlds.  I can't wait to get there!

Also, I just wanted to mention that you may have noticed my blog looks different.  Sorry about the appearance.  I am in the middle of redesigning it, and I am still looking for a new background.  Hopefully I will be able to finish the design in the next few days.  I am also trying to figure out how to get higher resolution screen shots on my laptop, so please bear with me. 

Anyway, I should be updating more fequently now that I am leveling again.  Back to questing in Krokotopia for now.  See you next time!
