Valarian's Wizard Graveyard

Hello fellow wizards. Sorry for not posting; I was at Cedar Point! Yup, riding rides, cotton candy, riding those same rides again ( nauseating a bit ), etc. Well, I am back in business. Here is the post for today. If you may not know, Valarian over at his School for Wayward Wizards has a thing call the Wizard Graveyard. And I think it's a good idea for fallen wizards' companians to post about them. I havent had anyone go yet, but if I do, that would be the place to go. Maybe you want to ask why another person killed you. Or why they killed your companian. So it's kind of like a virtual funeral home as much as a graveyard? I dont know. Just a guess. Well, that's todays post. It's not much. I need to find more things to put into words for you guys. Maybe another comparison? We'll see.

Public Apology

Hello fellow Bloggers, Wizards, and Friends. I just want to take time on this post to fix up a few things. I want to make an apology to the guys over at Wizard101 Central for what I did. I didn't mean for that to happen. I guess I got a little carried away with it, and I saw what was on central. Just to let Central know I have deleted those posts, and I'll never do that again. I mean, Central is an AWESOME site, no lie. They have accumulated members ever since the beginning, and have been humble to Wizard101 and Kings Isle. It was my mistake that made them look bad and I am sorry. I hope we'll ( Me and Central ) could keep the peace and keep on gaming. But most of all I would like to apologize to Iron Hawk over at Central. He was the Real Wizard behind the boss drops. All I did was basically copy. It was wrong, I admit. But, we all make mistakes once and a while. And I really, really, really, hope you all could forgive me. I'll never do that again and I hope things work out.

You Wizardly Friend,

Wizard 101 World Comparisons - - Krokotopia Vs. Cairo, Egypt

Todays Comparisons aren't Creatures, But World ones. ( I know, Cairo isn't a world but it's a place. ) First I'll show you the world we see almost everyday, give it up folks for Krokotopia!

*Applause*


Now as you can see, Krokotopia was based allot off of Egypt, but KI made a couple changes. Such as Pyramids, sandstorms, "Kroko"sphinxs, temples, and more. But usually with the prefix "Kroko" in front of it ( for example "Kroko"htep, "Kroko"topia, "Kroko"sphinx, etc. ) And of course the looks and names of the Bosses were based on Egyptian kings.

Krokopatra, which had dress like most queens of Egypt. Krokopatra seems to be a run-off of Cleopatra, well, since they do have the same "patra". Here is a picture of CleoPatra.


I know, they look nothing alike considering Krokopatra is an Alligator basically! Oh, and by the way, Krokopatra is the last boss in Krokotopia, in case you were wondering. OK, back to the Comparison. Here is the Pyramid of the Sun from the Game, on the top-right of the map.

Now here is another Pyramid, or Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt. They are Called the Giza Pyramids.


You can say that they are the same considering that all Egyptian Pyramids look the same. Now on the the whole Sphinx deal. You know that Krokotopia has the famous Krokosphinx. Well, here is the Wizard 101 one.


The head of this Sphinx of course is a Krok. But an ancient and original Sphinx usually has something else for a head . . .

It looks like the former king of Giza, dont you think? Aside from the broken nose . . . But still an amazing place to visit! It would be awesome to go there. I'll go there someday and bring back pictures :) I would do the tomb of storms but I wouldnt know what to compare it to. So that's it for now folks! Hope you liked today's comparison!
More to Come!

New Bazaar in Town . . . Olde Town That Is!

If you ha vent been doing the test realm, Kings Isle just made the new Wizard101 Bazaar Live. He looks the same, but the way his merchandise is organized is more convenient and understandable. Here is how the merchandise is put.





Here is how it goes :


First Column - Item Name
Second Column - Item Number
Third Column - Level Requirement ( If there is one on the item )
Fourth Column - School Requirement ( Again, if there is one on the item )
Fifth Column - Amount of gold the item costs


Note : The Spiral Icon for the School Requirement means that any school student can wear it.

Items can also be arranged from A-Z or Z-A by clicking the name column . If you want the Item sorted by the quantity , just click on the # column; you can sort from lowest to highest or highest to lowest.


Items can also be sorted by their level by clicking on the top of the "LVL" column. Again, from lowest to highest or highest to lowest. If you want school items to be in their same item categories, just click on the top of the school column ( SCH ). And lastly, if you want expensive and non-expensive items seperate, click on the top of the Cost column, and you can seperate from lowest to highest or highest to lowest. Talk about a new way to organize! Hope you enjoy the new Bazaar!

Theories

In my blogging days of Wizard 101 I have heard and made up some interesting theories and update-ideas about Wizard 101. One of mine you may know as the Juke Idea. Well, there are some other bloggers that have made up and discovered some updats/theories that might come up later in the game. Such as the Reneverian Hex blog and it's speculations :

-Multiplayer Minigames

-Level 60

On one of those theories I'd have to say and it would be the level 60 ordeal. I mean, if KI just came out with a new world and is STILL coming out with Celestia, then there should be another ten levels to make it more fun. The multiplayer minigames would be fun and would attract a lot more players to play but, most play just to get mana and fill potions.

Then there is the Homework in a Graveyard blog with it's mounting theory. In my opinion, mounts would be awesome. But I think I would have to buy them first or something. Like you could take it out of your bag and ride it, and put it back in when you want to walk again. Another opinion on mounts : I would like mounts better if you could decorate them. But that would bring in a whole new theory. Decorations for mounts. Like housing items for houses, you win them in battles, gather decorations, win them in quests, etc. So then if KI would accept doing mounts then they would probably have to put in a Mount Store. Or make like a Stable where you buy your ride.

I havent heard anything about Celestia yet. So I doubt it will come soon. So just enjoy Grizzleheim enough till you get bored. That's enough theory searching for today wizards.

New Name

Hello fellow wizards. I've been doing some thinking and this blog wont be called Defenders of the Spiral anymore. I have changed the name! Defenders Incorporated! Or, Defenders Inc. I even made a logo and trademarked it! Call me crazy . . .

So the banner that is up at the top I'll change soon too. ( Man, I need to make up my mind on these banners! ) Also! I am almost done making t-shirts too! That's right, you heard it. I crafted two designs so far. Call me crazy . . .



There's a back of this one . . .

So probably when you leave this blog, and come back, it'll be different. Dont worry, just under maintenance.

My Third Wizard

Over the weeks and weeks on the is blog I have only shown you my Balance Wizard ( Isaiah Spelldust.) Well, I wanna show you his Step-Brother. A life Wizard named Kevin Spritebright. He is just a level 16 now but he'll catch up. I gave him some Grizzleheim gear I picked up at the Bazaar in Olde Town.

Here is Kevin next to the Bear Guards.
Kevin in the circular arena in Northguard.
He decided to build a reastaurant next to all the shopkeepers.
And finally Kevin headed for the Rainbow bridge.
Well, that's Kevin. You'll be seeing him in more posts that's for sure.

Wizard 101 Comparisons Part 5

Ok, today's comparison is the Storm creature we all might know as the Triton. As you know I will show you what is different, and what is the same. Ok, here is the Wizard 101 Triton. ( I decided to do the statue one because he looks cooler when encased in stone. :)
As you can see he wears a crown on his head dictating that he is probably the king of the sea. He has no legs just a storm tail thing. And he bears a spear in both hands. Now I will show you a couple Triton images you might not know. Ancient ones.

Ok, this one may be a little difficult to see but, it is Triton, who back then in Roman Mythology was the Roman god of the sea. And on this ancient plate, he much looks the a Merman. A difference from the Wizard 101 Version. Ok, here is another ancient Triton image.

This one looks like the Merman again but looks way younger. What I can say about the similarities is the spear and the tail. Here is a Triton who you might recognize. I cant say ancient though on this one.
Yup you said it. The little mermaid's father, Triton. Ok, to the similarities and differences. He looks human on top like the other two. But, he also bears a crown like the Wizard 101 Triton. So I guess you can see the Wizard 101 Triton is made up of a whole bunch of other versions of different Tritons. Well, that's today's comaprison folks. Till next time, I'm Isaiah Spelldust.
