Review</h3>
<div>
Surprisingly, I saw this through my notifications I get via Crunchyroll's Twitter account. Episode 9 had just been added, so not that long ago actually. That episode, titled Dragon Type, made me think that this show was going to be a militaristic mature version of Pokemon. Frankly, I got a completely different vibe after watching the first episode, Little Garden. The introduction made it seem like God Eater and Anti-Magic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon had sex and this is their child. And I honestly loved it. It took more than one episode to grow on me, but I gave it a chance. </div>

and Emile Crossfode (Right) donning their<br />
Little Garden uniforms</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<b>Characters: </b>Hayato Kisaragi, the male antagonist, seems too bland in my opinion. Brave, selfless, sick sibling that he can't take care of so he goes to a militaristic school in order for her to get treated, and a mysterious past that immediately gets answered by meeting a person that shared a horrible fate with him aka Emile Crossfode. Emile, or Emilia, is a more interesting character, knowing about this past she has with him in Gudenburg. She disguised as a male when joining Little Garden and got into the same room as Hayato so they may talk about their past together. The third and final character who I label a main character judging by their character development over all the episodes so far is Claire Harvey. The "Queen" and person in charge of Little Garden and keeping her (as in the ship) secret's like LiZA, the ship's intelligent "artificial" brain, being her younger sister who was infused with Savage blood when she was still in the uterus of their mother. She seems to be a main competition of Emilia for competing in Hayato (but is more of a third wheel at the moment if you ask me) and his affection. All three of these main characters are a part of an elite group of students called Selections, which include side characters Reitia Saint-Emilion, Fritz Glanz, Liddy Steinberg, and Erica Candle. </div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Story Progression: </b>The progression of the story moves fast, and frankly I think it can deal with a few more filler episodes that bring more lore, or at least backstory into characters and locations. Like the Zwei Islands for example. If you are going to make this a science fiction Earth that is advanced, you can at least explain where these islands are. Are they new? Are they current islands that we know of like the Hawaiian islands? Even if it isn't lore or backstory of the character, at least side arcs in the story that are exclusive to the anime and not the manga. Because from my research, the manga is WAY behind the anime. Only now in the latest issue I was able to find, Hayato and the rest of Selections had only JUST destroyed the Trenta-sized (if that is what they classified it as) Savage. That is halfway through the Zwei Islands arc. That means you have the second half of the arc left to put in, along with the beginning of where episode 8 is, with Selections going off to a country that had savages land in recently. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Results: 3.75/5 Stars - A would recommend for a person who is already into anime, or at least someone who doesn't know what Hentai is as there is a lot of mature content. I look very forward to seeing how the anime goes, and when it is over, do a review of it again. The show has potential if it doesn't fall down the same path of being generic with its characters. The story could also use real-life locations as from my own knowledge of watching other animes who follow closely in these exact genres and themes, don't include real life locations. That will get the show talking.</b></div>

I am pretty late on this topic (and back to blogging on here altogether) as I wanted to see what other members on Twitter, Pirate101 Central, and the official Pirate101 forums had to say about the announcement from the most recent <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/kingsisleentertainment/v/62001651" target="_blank">KI Live</a> of Valencia Part 2 or VL2. Anyways, the main point of this is to talk about is:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Part 1 will be about how I think we will get into this new skyway and what will happen in it/who we meet</li>
<li>Part 2 will be my ideas about what will happen after this skyway</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please also note that this is what I personally want to happen and you don't have to agree on it, and in fact, you can comment below with how you think Pirate101 will play out after Valencia Part 2.<br />

I got multiple ideas as to where we can go (as why I didn't give an exact ending for what Valencia Part 1 would be) immediately after Valencia Part 2, and by immediately, I mean just the next book. but first, I want to go back to the stormgates in the new skyway, as people are divided between 2 and 3 new stormgates. You got to look closely at the first few seconds of the video but, the swirly things coming up out of the stormgate are there that far back.</div>

<br />
I expect us to go to Darkmoor for the next piece of the map. At the end of Valencia Part 2 we kill (destroy if you will) the queen and start a rebellion inside Valencia with the nobles joining the war against the Armada. Because of this, we are granted by Her Majesty, The Queen of Marleybone (whatever her name is) access to the Darkmoor stormgate along with a shiny new orange windstone. Our job in Darkmoor is to help the colony of Marleybonians with the threat of Armada (there will be a Darkmoor <-> Valencia stormgate) but also to talk to our mother and learn that the piece is in Rajah. During this whole adventure to find the map piece of our mother, we are chased slowly behind by Phule of all people who was sent by Kane to finish us for good. We eventually defeat him though in Rajah after he learns that we have found a map piece and nearly brings it back to Kane.<br />
<br />
I imagine Darkmoor to have 2 skyways. One skyway dedicated to the Marleybone story and one dedicated to the map piece story. While I expect Rajah to be just one skyway for the whole time we are there getting the map piece. I expect Darkmoor and Rajah to take up either:<br />

<h3>
Monquista Part 2, Polaris, and Grizzleheim</h3>
</div>
<div>
On the other side of the crazy plate is our return to Monquista and venturing to Polaris in search of Erika. We barely escape Valencia after the Armada finds out we nearly started a rebellion in Valencia against them along with a plot to assassinate the Queen. After arriving back in Skull Island we get a letter from G (who is revealed in Valencia Part 2) right before the Armada gets him. He states that Erika is in Polaris currently helping Napolequin with reclaiming his world in exchange for a commission to use the Polarian Navy to drive back the Armada from Grizzleheim. The closest stormgate from Skull Island would be in Monquista, which is now ruled by Gortez.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYnGbH8Sj1CUQWcZe2Cb-QAAiHp0C3NaOHOFH1memh6w46uhMQY-BkIOpXBCqbj_cTa-uBmHUjiEBo9xWvNY2mZn3WFSAwuj-ddy1R_TiqeGbij_g21pzCfOY5J560DhE0uWsMYFyUgGsD/s1600/Polaris.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYnGbH8Sj1CUQWcZe2Cb-QAAiHp0C3NaOHOFH1memh6w46uhMQY-BkIOpXBCqbj_cTa-uBmHUjiEBo9xWvNY2mZn3WFSAwuj-ddy1R_TiqeGbij_g21pzCfOY5J560DhE0uWsMYFyUgGsD/s400/Polaris.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Upon reaching the barren world we request access to the Polaris stormgate. Gortez refuses, knowing that we are pirates and may be earning a few extra gold coins to assassinate the most wanted penguin in the Spiral. But he reconsiders the offer and tells us he will allow access IF we figure out why Monquista lacks water. Long story short, we find out that the prisoners of Orryx had sprung a leak in the main water system and were still working underwater as told by their rebellious generals giving them commands.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the whole series of events in Monquista, we finally enter Polaris and meet Erika, who we help, along with Napolequin at retaking Polaris (or at least one skyway where the Navy is stationed). Erika gets double crossed and receives no ships from the Polarian Navy as Napolequin thinks for himself and Polaris that if he is to reclaim his land, he needs all of the might of the Navy. So we decide to help Erika (only to get the map piece later) in Grizzleheim and drive the Armada back. Little do we know that leading the Armada in Grizzleheim is Phule who captures Erika sending her back to Valencia in tow with the map. We go back to Skull Island no map in hand and see what Avery has planned for us next.</div>

<ol>
<li>Part 1 will be about how I think we will get into this new skyway and what will happen in it/who we meet</li>
<li>Part 2 will be my ideas about what will happen after this skyway</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please also note that this is what I personally want to happen and you don't have to agree on it, and in fact, you can comment below with how you think Valencia Part 2 will play out.</div>

<div>
So yeah... we have reached our first problem that will be clear in the book: entering Valencia. There are 3 options on how to reach Valencia since they obviously have increased security around the Dragonspyre/Avernus stormgate:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Valencia <-> Aquila stormgate. First introduced when the game was released and our first wonder at what Aquila was, we knew we would be coming back to Valencia (besides defeating Kane). The stormgate was originally labelled for a red windstone to be required for use, but it is skeptical as the MooShu <-> Marleybone stormgate said it required an orange windstone before the last story update, close to 3 years ago so there is chance we may see this stormgate be used with a new orange windstone we obtain, or maybe our current yellow windstone that we also use for the Monquista <-> Aquila stormgate.</li>
<li>Skull Island <-> Valencia. A least possible candidate for being used as it is in the same skyway that started the Valencian-Marleybonian War. Was labeled as a stormgate that required a red windstone before the last story update.</li>
<li>MooShu <-> Valencia. Also on par with the Skull Island <-> Valencia stormgate for actually getting used this moment in time as right across from it in the same skyway is the Marleybone stormgate making it so this is another highly guarded stormgate.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
The Opposite of Storms</h2>
</div>
<div>
Besides my curiosity why they thought that horrible sherbert orange would go with the emerald green, the story is what interests everyone. This part of the story (and the rest of the story you could say) has been redone 2 times now as the CEO of Kingsisle did not like how Blind Mew had written it, so it still seems like the general sense of the story in the skyway will exist still: nobility and ambassadors.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I imagine our story to start out with us entering Valencia <-> Aquila stormgate (as this seems the most likely without getting outs heads blown off... wait nevermind), immediately rushed by the Armada troops guarding the stormgate. I then expect Bonnie Anne (only because she did it a lot earlier in the story. See the expanded Blood Shoals questlines in Skull Island) or another companion on our crew (go Nurse Quinn) to call parlay where we will then appear in this new skyway, in the new skyway. From here (just because I am not going into detail) we attend meetings with other ambassadors from other worlds, meet the nobility of Valencia, and ultimately find C, G, or whatever his name is. Also, I expect us to finally meet the female antagonist of the Armada Elite who we currently refer to (as time of publishing) simply as The Queen. She would be the diplomatic one for all of the Armada.</div>

This is the end of part one.... so yeah. Go onto part 2 I guess? I got nothing to say really except comment on which stormgate you think we will be going through and how you think our adventure in Valencia Part 2 will play out.<br />

<br />
With the release of test realm as of today (the 17th of March, 2016) @W101Spoilers had obtained new information regarding a future bundle that possibly links with a new world in the files of the test realm. This world has possibly news of heartbroken, let down, and every other emotion that falls into the category when you hear the words that...<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
...Valencia Is Coming</h3>
Yes folks, Valencia, or, at least, a gauntlet bundle, is coming to Wizard101 in the future. With the Spiral Cup Gauntlet being sold on the website only and the Grand Tourney Gauntlet almost one year old the next gauntlet had to come eventually.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">An overview of the outdoor area of the gauntlet without the skybox.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
There are too many similarities, in fact, the majority of the models are straight from Pirate101 itself. Having models from Pirate101 is not a new idea, but one that gotten the community on Twitter upset in recent months since the release of the Frigid Maw in Polaris being a complete recolor of Motherlode Mine, a special and unique location as that is where the pirate defeats Deacon, the first of 3 seen elites part of Kane's Court.<br />
<br />
<h3>
My Concerns</h3>
<div>
With graphics, NPCs, and animations all found to be working this bundle is sure to come soon, and possibly come after the updates from test realm reach live. Falmea is also hinting to a Pirate101 update coming soon to their test realm once it comes back online. I personally think that this bundle is going to come out around the same time the Pirate101 update comes out (saying if Book 15 finally comes about years of waiting) to try and bring Pirate101 players to the game.</div>

The worst possible idea that came to mind actually first came from <a href="https://twitter.com/TylerDreamer">@TylerDreamer</a> on Twitter who said that Kingsisle could shut down Pirate101 and start gradually putting worlds from Pirate101 that haven't been explored yet (Skull Island, Monquista, Valencia, and Cool Ranch), into Wizard101. What are your comments, concerns, and questions about these leaks? </div>

I would like to say this now, (if not evident from the title) that there are spoilers* ahead for the Spring, if not, Summer** update this year that I am too cover. This post is only for those that wish to see what there is to offer in Wizard101 in the future and if you do not agree with showing spoilers or do not wish to see them, you can just skip over this post. If not then continue on in the post for the content leaked in the past 24 hours.<br />

Road Warriors Hoard</h3>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<b>What we know: </b>Though there is nothing else known about this hoard pack yet besides there being a motorcycle made of flames and bones along with some wands, gear, and a pet (shown below with the rest of the gear), it will just be another random pack based on some mount people will want. The inspiration seems to be from the 80s (if I know my motorcycle models well enough) and being the first motorcycle from the game, highly wanted. Especially with the recent addition of stats, this mount could be a hot seller, not just because of the fiery wheels. There is also an untextured animation of the mount in a <a href="https://twitter.com/W101Spoilers/status/707685375548981248">tweet</a> posted by Wizard101 Spoilers and sounds of the mount on their <a href="https://t.co/sPNV4Uh7SH" target="_blank">Soundcloud</a> page.<br />
<br />
<b>My prediction: </b>I think, as said above, just another random pack based on some mount people will want just because it is the closest thing we have to something inanimate (besides the mount from the Arcane Bundle) that is used in everyday life to get around places. Basically, the closest thing to a car. I personally expect the mount to have the stats a death or fire wizard will find useful when questing based off of the looks of the car. Maybe fire critical or an increase in damage when using drain spells.<br />

New Pets, Gear, and Wands</h3>

<br />
<b>What we know: </b>How to specify certain stuff as there are a ton of items will be going by columns, C, and rows, R, so CxR. For example, 1x1 would be the top left corner or 10x8 being the new hoard pack.<br />
<br />
Now, what is interesting is the amount of recolors that have appeared hinting at a lot of new hybrids or simple recolors in the dye shop. There are some new pets scattered about like the mouse at 5x8 and the 3 sheep colors of pink, yellow, blue. Also new pets include the crustaceans, quetzals, cats, the monkey at 18x2, and the thing I cannot comprehend to have a name for at 24x1. There is also the pet to the new hoard bundle at 12x4. I will point out though that the pets at 2-5x5 have been in the files since the new skeleton key bosses (Ra, Omen, and Azteca) were leaked just to inform people who didn't already know.<br />
<br />
Finally getting pets out of the way and starting from the beginning of wands and mounts, I just want to point out the retextures first which include 1-8x1-4 (except 1-3x1) along with 1x5, 17-19x5, and 20-22x4. Possibly 11x8 too. There are some new ones though like at 1-3x1, 6-8x7, 6x8, 11x7, 12-14x8, 13x7, and 17-23x1. Mounts though are probably some highly requested ones. Besides the motorcycle talked about above, there is also our first automobile at 7x8, the giant wings most have fallen in love with at 9x7 along with yet another horse mount right next to it.<br />
<br />
Getting to the gear finally, there appear to be 3 prominent gear sets. The hoard gear set in the middle, and then two sets in the bottom left, one being in 3 different colors. Rextextures for bundle gear appear also dating back to the very first few bundles in the game. The only thing left out after all the gear is the elephant 15x6 which I can't place a finger on if they are fish or pets.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>My prediction:</b> There is a pet at 12x7 which I want to say matches with the gear set that comes in 3 colors while the gear from the hoard pack may possibly be an alternative to Terror's Hoard or even better. Most of this stuff though seem to be dropped by the skeleton key bosses or dropped from old fights.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<b><br /></b> <b>What we know: </b>There seems to be a lot more stuff from past content like Crab Alley, Marleybone, Celestia, and Wizard City especially. We also get more furniture items to the Arcanum along with new trophies for PvP. The most notable was when someone spotted out a housing item at 11x3 that resembles the floor at the Spiral Door inside Bartleby almost entirely.<br />
<br />
<b>My prediction: </b>Housing items, especially the new ones from Marleybone, are sure to be used more as every house decorator will flock to buy Marleybone houses when the automobile comes into the live game. What I like most is that they have more NPCs to be added as shown in 4-8x6 and 1-4x7.<br />

<b>What we know: </b>Well, there has been a change in spell listings, nothing that has yet to drastically impact PVE, but PVP as we get new minions that aren't PvE locked with the general classes in mind being already known to us:<br />
<ul>
<li>Storm: Human in armor</li>
<li>Ice: Ice troll</li>
<li>Fire: Draconian</li>
<li>Death: Spectre</li>
<li>Myth: Clockwork </li>
<li>Life: Jade Oni</li>
<li>Balance: Brown Owl</li>
</ul>
We also see Sabertooth getting elemental and spirit school versions along with a new aura that seems to radiate green. The auras and enchants from the last leak now have pictures. But what I think will be on everyone's mind also (besides the minions) will be the first two icons before the auras.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
More fuel spells are on the way to the game, adding in ice, storm, death, and a universal version to the myth (found on the Maple Moose pet), life, and fire (trainable as ONLY a fire wizard and found as a treasure card) versions that already exist in the game.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>My prediction:</b> I say these new minions will be our second shadow-infused spells seen since the third arc started. being at 95 if the pattern continues where every 20 levels starting from 25, there is a spell upgrade or a new minion. What intrigues me about the auras is that the universal critical block and critical auras do not have icons which has made me wonder if they were scrapped unless they are the first two icons. I say having the new fuel spells will make an addition to your deck at long fights like Ratsputin at the Sky Anchor in Polaris, and Malistaire in the Graveyard of Castle Darkmoor.<br />

I understand that this blog has always been minor compared to the other blogs in the community so our absence hasn't effected many of you. But I'd like you all to know that we haven't given up on this blog yet, at least I haven't.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I start getting my schedule together I'll try and focus on this blog. I'd like to make a return to the blogging community. And when I do I'll begin posting little updates on certain things. Hopefully by then there's a decent amount of things to talk about. But I won't just talk about games and such. No I plan to do what I imagined from the start.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'd like to talk about things going on in my life. This way you guys can get my personal views on things, and it gives me something to write about during those dry months where there's no content. As well, I hope that my stories can connect with others and that we can have nice little chats in the Comments Section on said topics. Think of this blog as one of those YouTube Vlogs, but instead with writing ((Thus making it a Blog)), pictures, and a chance for me to improve my writing skills.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OH! And lastly, I know in the past I've mentioned that I'd like to update the look on the blog. And I'm serious. I've just always put it off because I can never stay focused on one thing for to long. But hopefully this Summer I'll finally put my mind to fixing up this blog. And if I forget or get distracted I'll need you guys to help me get back on track. :P</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyways, goodnight/good morning and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you reading my future posts.<br />
<br />
Update 01: I've decided to start working on a new "project" which I'm calling Shadow 2.0 for now. I'll let you guys now more about it in the future.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Why exactly are Myth wizards called conjurers? Well, the answer is simple; the main focus of the school is to create. According to the Wizard101 website, "</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">The Myth School will train its student wizards to summon minions." Our ability to "conjure" minions is supposedly what sets us apart from the other schools, we don't get massive damage, resist, or critical, we don't get heals, or drains, we get the ability to turn our hard earned pips into a useless pest for you to kill in one turn. Undoubtedly the least popular school in the second arc, Myth has steadily lost the throne it held in the Malistaire saga with each new world release. How is it possible that a school who used to dominate PvP, with its signature spell "Medusa," could become as helpless as they are today in 40 short levels?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Now before I start ranting, lets give Kings<span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span>sle a HUGE round of applause for the shadow enhanced spells they implemented in the four dungeons expansion! Yes, the storm version is highly overpowered, and the animation for the death spell takes 10 years to finish, but with this release Myth got something we've desperately needed since Celestia.... AN ATTACK ALL SPELL THAT DOES MORE THAN 300 DAMAGE! If you play myth, then you know the questing struggle. We don't get enough critical and both of our previous "attack all" spells did roughly 600 base damage when enchanted. This required us to try and put every single blade we had on, and hope it was enough to kill whatever mobs we were facing. The process was lengthy and simply put, wasn't fun. With this gem future content will be less painful and I cannot wait to implement it in every day questing. We can officially cross an item off our Myth school checklist! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strike><span style="font-family: inherit;">Reasonable Attack All Spell</span></strike></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">A Healing Spell</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Minions That Don't Die In 1 Turn</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you played back in the olden days, when the rank 8 spells were the strongest in the game, you would remember that Myth was feared. With Medusa we ruled the arena, and no other school could touch the disciples of the great Cyrus Drake. A two round stun allowed us implement the vicious chain stun, keeping our opponents disabled for up to four whole rounds. With our minions by our side, and our more than satisfactory damage, we tore up any wizard who stood before us. We will refer to this era in Myth history as, the golden age. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Unfortunately all good things must end</span></b></span></u></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It began in Celestia; more and more bosses are... stun immune (*shivers*) by Zafaria, every boss in the game was. What does this mean? In questing, Medusa does nothing more than a mediocre chunk of damage. But we still ruled the pvp arena right? wrong. With the implementation and growing popularity of stun blocks and conviction, players learned how to render our supreme stunning abilities inert. This left us one advantage; minions. Unfortunately for Myth, critical and damage enchants gave the schools the ability to turn a rank 1 or 2 spell, into a one shot k/o for any minion we can summon. Myth has nothing. Personally, I think Kings<span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span>sle knows that our minions are outdated, and that's why they haven't given us anymore. We can't even use our Zafaria minion in PvP. We are a school that is dedicated to summoning minions, and the strongest one we can bring into the arena has 1000 health and seems to cast hex every turn. This brings me to the third item on the Myth checklist. Minions that don't die in one turn, minions that have a little critical block and resist. (No it doesn't have to be much, just enough to allow them to survive a rank 2 attack cast the round after they were summoned) Minions are almost useless in the arena, and that needs to be fixed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Every. Single. School. But. Ice. And. Myth. Has. A. Spell. That. Heals. Them. In. Some. Way...</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Ice has a spell that steals a heal over time, Ice has seemingly infinite health, Ice has limitless resist, Myth does not. Ice does not need a heal. You cannot even argue that it does. If you are an ice that cannot kill a boss, or a mob, or even a player, before it/they kill you, you are not playing ice correctly. Myth has the second lowest base health in the game. Myth DOES need a heal. If storm gets a heal, every school (but Ice #you're overpowered) deserves a heal. "But Sam, whats the big deal? Why cant you just use a life mastery?" That's the problem! Myth wizards are forced to choose to either use a life mastery, or to not heal. Whats the big deal? Ever since the release of Tartarus, amulets that provide actual stat benefits have been surfacing in the game. If a Myth wizard has to use a life mastery, they cannot use one of these glorious stat amulets. That places us at a disadvantage! 30 extra block can make a match, 3 extra resist can make a match, 2 extra pierce, 200 more health, IT CAN MAKE OR BREAK A MATCH. But at the same time, not being able to heal can ruin a match very quickly. Every school needs a way to survive, end of story, and for those of us who don't get 6000+ health and tons of resist, healing spells are required. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Health... this brings me to another point. We are led to believe that the schools that do more damage get less health. Fire does more damage than Myth, (by a lot) but Myth and Fire have practically the same health. (Myth actually has LESS) Why? because Myth gets minions! It makes sense doesn't it? We can summon minions to help us so we should have less health. Its fair! Except Myth doesn't get minions anymore, and the ones we have, don't help us. Fire gets better stats and more health than us even though we haven't had a usable minion in 3 worlds? yes. If Kingsisle isn't going to be giving us useful minions anymore, our health, and our gear should be addressed. We are treated as a spam school, yet we are given little critical and mediocre damage boost on our gear. We either need more health, or we need better stats. I do applaud the four dungeons expansion however, it is a step in the right direction. The myth gear is much more balanced and actually holds up in comparison to the other school sets. Its not perfect but its good. If Kings<span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span>sle continues to give us gear of this quality in future content, this problem will easily be addressed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It seems like Kings<span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span>sle tried to turn Myth into a stun school during the Avalon era, but then changed their mind by the end of Azteca. Medusa is a great spell, and it makes sense that it also stuns (for obvious reasons) but why did they even bother to give us Basilisk? If I'm ever given the chance to stun my opponent, Medusa is the way to go, I mean it stuns for twice as long! Stun wise, Medusa is obviously the better spell... So Basilisk is better for dealing damage then right? Not anymore. King Artorius does more damage over time than Basilisk does, AND it costs one less pip. Sure Basilisk does a little more damage total, but only because it has a larger initial hit. Why do we use damage over time spells? To get around shields... so that initial hit isn't what matters, its the damage per round that follows which actually counts. This is why King Artorius is the better spell. So what does this mean? It means that</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WkDPTfZue4M4XqQeZfGuJXCrRMjIgv0y9WKIv05s4NPa_6MBot1wm4etzS3wUgfGACKQMKZPIoTN9sn1vMzwkzeUARAyVExdz56oSRtEeSzsfmVH0c5r86F6ZV4-R2vC2n1MOja4fcfu/s1600/127px-(Item_Card)_Van_Der_Borst.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WkDPTfZue4M4XqQeZfGuJXCrRMjIgv0y9WKIv05s4NPa_6MBot1wm4etzS3wUgfGACKQMKZPIoTN9sn1vMzwkzeUARAyVExdz56oSRtEeSzsfmVH0c5r86F6ZV4-R2vC2n1MOja4fcfu/s1600/127px-(Item_Card)_Van_Der_Borst.png" height="200" width="130" /></span></a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">when it comes down to it, Basilisk has become an outdated and useless spell. Medusa is better at stunning, and King Artorius is a better spell for dealing damage. Instead of Myth wizards having a useless spell in their spell-book why don't we just replace it? Van Der Borst (Pictured Left) is a genius idea implemented into the game when the Spiral Cup Gauntlet was released, appearing as an item card on the "Rude Goblin" pet. The idea of a spell doing damage and summoning a minion simultaneously is revolutionary, and it is the kind of thing that could put Myth back at an equal level with the other schools in the game. Why not replace Basilisk with a similar spell? It would solve many problems all at once! An outdated spell would be replaced and Myth would have some new minions to use! At the very least I hope Myth gets spells like this in future content releases. It would be a shame if such a good idea wasn't taken advantage of!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So that concludes todays rant on the Myth school. There is so much more I want to say, but I've tried to limit myself to "the big things" that I see need to be changed. Despite all its flaws the school of Myth is still my favorite and as long as you know how to play it you can still do well, but it is a much greater challenge to master than the other schools due to all of the disadvantages we are faced with. If you honestly believe that there is nothing wrong with the school of myth, please; go to your character selection and make one. Train him/her up and I guarantee you will notice all of the problems we face at high level. Try to play without a life mastery in the second arc and see how long you can survive alone. Try to use your minions and see how much help they actually are. Most people who disagree haven't tried to play the school, others have only ever played Myth and don't even know how easy it can be to play a different type of wizard. Go and see for yourself and THEN try to tell me <span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm</span> wrong. </span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
By now the majority of us, if not all know the ending words Old Cob had told us in Khrysalis. Two of those names we do not know much about, only the fact that there are giant speculations that The Broken Shores is that world floating around in the Spiral we see when going through some stormgates to other worlds in Pirate101. What about the Hidden Lands though? The only place we do not know of.</div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Hidden Lands</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a long time we have waited for a swamp world. We have wanted to know where Mr. Lincoln comes from, where frogs come from, what this "Out East" place the storks in Cool Ranch talk of. Well, we possibly know now, this isn't definite but this is my theory on the Hidden Lands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUcMgtNBdqWhIW1tgM1VruJpR5FC1pzY7Bk7k4fq7dFOMJluT2qmu_HtARO-InG6GbZ3RnM0GtYvQ1WaJRau3TB6MC1UuZfdpcdd_vuLoYEdg9lvzFNRU43rmdsDl_EqhS6vyO5a1q1pJ/s1600/B1kVc-zCEAETUvd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDUcMgtNBdqWhIW1tgM1VruJpR5FC1pzY7Bk7k4fq7dFOMJluT2qmu_HtARO-InG6GbZ3RnM0GtYvQ1WaJRau3TB6MC1UuZfdpcdd_vuLoYEdg9lvzFNRU43rmdsDl_EqhS6vyO5a1q1pJ/s1600/B1kVc-zCEAETUvd.jpg" height="169" width="320" /></a>Swamps are usually places were alligators and other animals lurk. Sometimes swamps are hidden by think fog so why not call a swamp themed world Hidden Lands? It just means the place is hard to get to. How it fits in with the story? Well, my guess is we come here to stop Old Cob from doing something shadow related. Maybe it is where we end him or somewhere in the middle or close to the end. It has something to do with shadow magic and we will possibly get shadow magic here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another idea is using the new shadow infused storm spell, Glowbug Squall, to help put this together. Just by looking at the image above we can tell this spell originates from a swamp environment and from the name of the spell. We can also see that this world is at night giving it a more mysterious and shadow look to it. What I don't understand is what the green smoke is in the picture but probably just the smoke of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Conclusion</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What do you all think about the new spell and the environment it casts off? Comment below "Shine bright like a diamond!" if you have read the whole post and thank you to <a href="https://twitter.com/EdwardRubyR" target="_blank">Edward RubyRunner</a> for letting me use this picture he took of the Glowbug Squall spell in action.</div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> You may remember me from all the way back to the first post. Well, I'm back to cause trouble! >:D Joking about that, the real reason I am back is to just blog and what better than to blog about my favorite app right now, Celtic Heroes. I will still be doing Wizard101 and Pirate101 posts every now and then but I want to help broaden your horizons to more games but let's stop talking about that poop.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> As you all know by now if you are on Twitter my name is Cass Lifeblossom. I have 6 pirates and wizards using only 3 of my pirates, Cass Underwood, a max level swashbuckler; Ryan Underwood, a witchdoctor in Cool Ranch, and my musketeer that just started his way into Valencia. On Wizard101 I use my main, Cass Lifeblossom, an Exalted Theurgist and Kyle, a Grandmaster Pyromancer in Celestia.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> Whelp, byez I guess. I got nothing else to talk about. Be prepared for the first blog post of many for Celtic Heroes next weekend. If you finished reading comment: I have a pet monkey named Robert.</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> ~ With the Test Realm for Wizard101's Fall Update on the horizon KingsIsle has been delivering teasers to their community. Based on what we've seen makes it sort of hard to speculate as to what is to come. So far we've seen concept art for what looks like a Shaolin "Temple", a Mooshu (Or Grizzlehiem) "Boar Boss", a "Royal Hall" of Marleybone, and a collection of pieces of what we all assume to be Darkmoor. And this post will be dedicated to deducing these teasers and hopefully gathering speculations from others. ~</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> ~ As some may know. KingsIsle has released three Vines. Each of them revealing something significantly </span></span><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">different</span></span> </span></span><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">yet </span></span>the same. In this first Vine there was, what we like to call, the <b><a href="https://vine.co/v/OhaKFr26M75" target="_blank">"Raven Dance"</a></b>, and then in the second Vine we see yet another dance emote. However, the location that the emote was filmed is one of mystery. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">This emote, as you can see below, is the "OppaWizardStyle". ~</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> ~ As for the location; It's apparent that there is a building. But what's hard to see is at the building's entrance is a sigil, a sigil for a dungeon. But what kind of dungeon? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our first clue is the music played during the Vine. It's from the Marleybonian Dance Game which provides a decent hint that the set location is Marleybone. The second clue is the starry night sky which backs up the idea that this IS Marleybone. And our last and final clue is that the whole building-dungeon itself looks like Buckingham Palace, a real place in Britain. But wait, there's more! This next Vine as well as the concept art after it will reveal a whole lot more as to what we may see.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> ~</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> ~ The Cat, her attire, and even her stature <i>screams</i> Marleybone. Not to mention she is surrounded by a plethora of Marleybonian themed items. So therefore we must be going back to Marleybone. But if so, precisely why are we going back and will we only be going back to deal with whatever is happening in Barkingham Palace or is there more? Plus what is this Cat's purpose and what will become of her in the game?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the moment since we're not sure as to what her purpose is we can make sense as to what may be going on here. From the appearance of the background it seems that she's inside, right? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well if you listen closely you can hear a cricket, what <i>sounds</i> like that familiar crash of glass, and wind, plus a few Dogs barking. Now these sounds seem rather odd to be heard when <i>or if</i> you're inside. So does that mean that maybe someone or something has broken into the Barkingham Palace? If so, what are they up to? And what does that blimp from the vine prior have to do with the events going on inside Barkingham?</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #674ea7;">~</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #674ea7;">~</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">On the 30th of October KingsIsle released this piece of art on Facebook and Twitter asking "<b><a href="https://twitter.com/Wizard101/status/527856715413213184/photo/1" target="_blank">Who could sit on the throne in this Royal Hall??</a></b>" And almost immediately this backed up everyone's theories that we'd be visiting the Barkingham Palace. I for one don't really care if it is or isn't Barkingham Palace. I'm just looking forward to exploring whatever is connected to this Royal Hall. The only thing I hope is that if this is apart of the dungeon we saw earlier that it complies with these three things:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;">1) <i><b>This Dungeon isn't over priced like Mount Olympus, Atlantea, and Tarturus was or that it's free to all who have Reagent's Square (That is if it is Barkingham Palace).</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;">2) <i><b>The drop ratings are decent or at least the attire or whatever is dropped inside is more improved then what we saw in Tartarus. Hopefully, if there is attire, that it can be compared to that of the attire from Waterworks which had a well balanced set of stats.</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;">3) <i><b>The Dungeon isn't extremely long but also challenging like the Moo Manchu Tower of Pirate101.</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> ~ Alongside the reveal of the "Royal Hall" concept art KingsIsle also gave every <b>official</b> Wizard101 fansite two pieces of concept art featuring two irrelevant things compared to the Marleybone stuff that we've seen. These "things" are the "Boar Boss" and the "Temple". Below we see the Boar Boss in all his glory. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the past we've seen Boars, they were in Grizzlehiem. But as we look at this Boar he has some Mooshu-like features. The one thing that is clear is that this "Boar Boss" is apart of a clan or cult based on the hoof emblem seen around his waist. </span></span></div>

Based on observation we can see that it looks rather Mooshu as well and that's it's in a cavern of some sort. But how did it get there and what is its purpose? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some have speculated that it's the house from the elusive Evergreen Bundle but I beg to differ. Mostly because it doesn't exactly have that greenhouse look that is faintly visible on the card. Either way, whatever it is I'm excited for it. ~</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> ~ He wouldn't. I know this goes against my previous <a href="http://theshadowcompendium.blogspot.com/2014/10/with-release-of-five-b.html" target="_blank"><b>post</b></a> but I think it's way to early for them to release a new Main World for Wizards. They've focused to much on elevating our level cap and getting us to the final confrontation with Morganthe that I think it's time they look back on some of the lower level Wizards and gave them something to stray away from their main quests. Specifically I hope Darkmoor is for level 50-60 Wizards since their past two Side Worlds have been for Wizards 20+. However, just because I think (and hope) Darkmoor will be a Side World I still think there will be content for level 100 Wizards. Specifically the new Dungeon we saw above and maybe some new Shadow Spells to aid us in the Third Arc. ~</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"> ~ October, what a month. When we first started it off we were teased with a little gif regarding the Professor which then led to the grand 5 B.O.X.E.S event. Soon after we were given a spooky surprise with the new <b><a href="https://www.wizard101.com/game/halloween-hoard-packs" target="_blank">Harrowing Nightmare Hoard Pack</a></b> to accompany the original Nightmare Pack. Plus we also got the returning quests from Jack and his family as well as a fairly new quest from Dworgyn. Not to mention the all new Fish limited to this celebration only (so catch them while you can). But perhaps the most exciting news of all is the release of a new bundle which was obtainable from both the ExtraLife event and in some stores near you.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sdb9sh" target="_blank">"I like Shock a Lock. I used to like it a lot. When I first started
playing Wizard, I was excited to find a silver chest. Hey, I get to play
Shock a Lock! After a few years: Oh, a silver chest, I guess I’ll play
Shock a Lock. I started seeing how many extra pieces I could use in the
puzzle and still win. But last year I started walking past silver
chests. I’ve played Shock a Lock hundreds of times and I was done.</a>
<a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sdb9sh" target="_blank"><br />
This got me thinking that we need more variety in silver chests. So I
designed a new appropriately themed game that was completely different
but took around the same time to win. In May, I took a day and a half
off from working on fishing to write a playable prototype. Last month,
new art, sound effects and music were made for it and I spent some time
polishing it up.</a>
<a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sdb9sh" target="_blank"><br />
I built a little more variety into this new game as well. The first
three times you play it, the goal is the same, but after that the goal
changes. See if you recognize some of the goals!</a>
<a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sdb9sh" target="_blank"><br />
When the Fall Update hits the Test Realm, silver chests will all play
the new game so y’all can test it. The plan is that when the Fall Update
goes live, half the time silver chests will play Shock a Lock and half
the time they’ll play the new game.</a>
<a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sdb9sh" target="_blank">I hope y’all like this new silver chest minigame!"</a></div>

This bundle in general is Fishing related. Which has made some of us wonder; Will we ever see more Fishing related bundles or bundles dedicated to things such as Crafting or Gardening? I for sure want a bundle for Crafting with a pet with a new talent that I've created called "Pick Up".

<span style="color: #674ea7;"> ~ Before I end this blog post I want to point out something of interest that we may all enjoy. With the official release of the Fishing bundle came a picture of an unknown location that looks similar to the Wyrd. I've posted it below along with other hints as to what we can expect to see in the Fall Update. Until next time see ya in the Spiral! ~</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> hroughout the years KingsIsle has created a wonderful set of games known as <a href="https://www.wizard101.com/" target="_blank">Wizard101</a> and <a href="https://www.pirate101.com/" target="_blank">Pirate101</a>.
Both games take place in the scenic Spiral with a unique plot, a
collection of Worlds, and characters with a variety of personalities. In
fact, these games have become so popular amongst many that people are
begging for yet another game only two years after the release of
Pirate101. I've seen threads on the Forums and other places by different
authors all discussing ideas for a new game. Some which include
Ninja101, Fairy101, Knights101, etc. Each idea had something different
and cool about them that made even myself want KingsIsle to produce the
game. And so, I've dedicated today's post towards the topic of producing
a new game for the <i>101 series</i>. The idea(s) you're about to see are all mine, somewhat. So. Without further ado I present to all of you. . . ~</span></span><br />

Like all great games there has to be a back story. And the back story
for this game is quite the game changer. Here's what I'm thinking- </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tangerine; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> In
the Before Time, when the First World existed, there were Immortals.
The Immortals dedicated themselves to watching over the Aztecasaurs and
in return the Aztecasaurs praised them. The peacefulness between the
Immortals and the Aztecsaurs lasted for thousands of years. That was
until the First World was shattered and the many Aztecasaur tribes were
separated. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tangerine; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /> The
separation of the tribes fro the mainland was something of utter chaos.
The very Immortals that they praised were inflicted with headaches and
it began a cycle of destruction. Many tribes were destroyed by the
crazed Immortals; and the few that remained would go on to evolve and
adapt to their new environment. But the Immortals, they wouldn't last,
and the few that did made their home in the mainland. There they raised
the Aztecasaurs to greatness, they granted them gifts to aid their
survival and all was right and in return the Aztecasaurs rose temples in
their honor.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tangerine; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tangerine; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> However,
that wasn't the case for the other Immortals who fell to chaos. Instead
they evolved with the Aztecasaurs. From their evolution the Immortals
of Aquila, Krokotopia, Mirage, Mooshu, </span>Grizzlehiem, Empyrea,
Monquista, Zafaria, Celestia, and even Dragonspyre were born. Each
Immortal possessed new traits and carried out new actions, ideas, and
customs. This was the start of a new era, the Era of Construction and
Rebirth.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> In this era the <i>New</i>
Immortals aided the people, they showed them new ways to thrive, and
how to sail upon the Threads of the Spiral, they even gave them fire,
weapons, and remedies for the ill. This era was an era of greatness. But
once it ended the Immortals sealed themselves away. They left their
people to grow on their own. Although, this wouldn't be the last time
the people saw their beloved Immortals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> Some
such as Zeus would descend from their divine homes and help their
people in times of struggle, or smite them for their wrong doings, but
most of all. Some Immortals would descend from their homes to birth a
child, and not just any ordinary child, but a child with half Mortal
blood and half Immortal blood. These children would later be named the
Voices of the Immortals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> These
children were special, they had powers that matched that of the
Immortals; super speed, great strength, tough skin, amazing vision, and
many more supernatural abilities. The only problem with these children
is that not all of them used their powers for the better of their
homeland. Some would use them to cause chaos and destruction. Meanwhile
others used their powers to aid and assist in anyway possible. This led
to a rise of a Priests known as the Blood Brothers and Silent Sisters.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /> These
people were all unionized under one mandate; to train and protect all
children of the Immortals for the good of the Spiral. And with the help
of a Grandmother they did just that. For she built them a hall, the
Argent Hall and hid it deep beneath a lake in a World inhabited by
nothing but plants.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> Then,
shortly after its completion the Blood Brothers and Silent Sisters
began taking in Immortal children. Utilizing the lake as a ward of
protection against monsters they trained them using the ways of
Immortals to become heroes. And once they reached adulthood they'd send
them off into the Spiral to aid all those with good intentions. And from
then on the Argent Hall and its Priests became renowned throughout the
Spiral. ~</span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>~ The Bloodlines ~</u></span></span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> ~
The Bloodlines is what I've decided to name the Schools or Classes of
the game. There are a total of ten Bloodlines. One for each of the
Worlds mentioned above. To start off I'd like to introduce you to the
Aquilan Bloodline; and afterwards the rest. ~</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Aquila:</b></u></span>
During the golden age of Aquila the Immortals of Olympus were famous
throughout not only Aquila but the Spiral. For it was Hephaestus who
taught the mighty Eagles how to sail upon the Spiral Threads, and it was
Ares who showed them how to fight, meanwhile wise Athena brought
knowledge to the lands, and beautiful Aphrodite was famous for creating
long lasting relationships to continue the legacy of Aquila. It's also
these very events that drives the Children of Aquila to be excellent
fighters, charmers, and craftsmen. Utilizing these skills from their
Immortal parent the Children of Aquila are able to utilizing all kinds
of Skills that even some of the other children know. Thus making them a
perfect ally for any battle.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Dragonsypre:</b></u></span>
As confusing as it may be that the Immortals of Dragonsypre share
similar qualities to that of the Immortals of Aquila there are some
notable differences. For instance, the Immortals of Dragonspyre are
war-hungry and ready for battle at any second. They're also very wise
when it comes to trapping and attacking their enemies<u>. And their war customs were passed on to their </u>people.
This very reason is probably why Dragonsypre was destroyed by the
Dragon Titan's army, for they took to much pride in their arms and not
enough in their ways of love and peace. Now the Children of Dragonspyre,
the last race of Dragonspyrians come to the battlefield more fierce and
powerful than ever. Calling upon the spirits of the dead Immortals
they're able to deal lethal damage, and they don't hesitate when it
comes to taking down a friend or foe as long as they're not in their
way. And their lust for war and damage comes with a price, weaker
defenses making them more prone to incoming damage.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Mirage:</b></u></span>
The Immortals of Mirage have always been labeled as odd. They rely on
the energies of the desert to summon powerful beasts. And their
excessive amount of eyes allows them to see into the past, present, or
future and warn them of coming danger. Meanwhile their arms and hands
have been known to possess mystical powers which allows them to perform
multiple tasks at once. These very traits are the same traits that their
children now posses. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Using
these skills in combat have made them a tricky bunch as well as
somewhat hated amongst enemies. Sadly though they are weak towards those
who find peace in reality, for it goes against their chaotic and
mystical natures thus, a Child of Mooshu would easily be able to defeat a
whole army of the Children of Mirage. But overall they are good allies
to have at hand even if they do like to go solo most of the time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Mooshu:</b></u></span>
The Immortals of Mooshu find peace and tranquility in even the darkest
of times. Calling upon the energy of the land, sea, and sky they humbly
enter battle. Weather they hide in the shadows, or fight out in the open
they're always there to aid their allies. Weather it's through healing,
the distribution of arms, or to fight alone those who are the Children
of Mooshu are usually always welcome on the field. But, like the rest of
the Bloodlines they have a weakness. For their peaceful natures can
easily be resisted by those who hail from the mystical, and chaotic
realms such as Mirage. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Grizzlehiem:</b></u></span>
The Immortals of Grizzlehiem are tough and fierce. Having lived for
aeons in the cold, wintery forests of Grizzlehiem the Immortals show no
sign of weakness even when hit with the most devastating of attacks.
Their natures are in every way the opposite of those who hail from
Dragonspre, and their children have been known to be bitter towards the
Dragonspyrians. But regardless, the Children of Grizzlehiem are worthy
adversaries on the battlefield. For they call upon the natural and olde
ways of the land, utilizing it in every way to stall, and slowly destroy
their enemies.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Empyrea:</b></u></span>
Shortly after the division of the First World the Immortals of Empyrea
quickly settled in upon the sky World. Their new ways quickly became the
ways of their people and for many years the two species would live in
harmony. However, one day came when the Immortals grew furious with
their people. They summoned a flood to wipe the land clean of them. But
their efforts were worthless. While it did eliminate many of the species
a few survived by a boat. But, one mortal who drank the water of the
heavens became blessed with power. And her body took on a new, Immortal
form making her the queen of a new divine empire. That of which would
cause chaos for centuries between the survived species. Now, in modern
times the Children of Empyrea either originate from one of the two
species of Immortals. Those who originate from the first species are
known to be more in touch with basic ways of combat and aren't all that
special. But those who originate from the new species of Immortal are
known to be kind, generous, but also strict as well as graceful and
agile. These Children are the kind of warriors for combat. They follow
the ways of the sky and utilize it to their advantage through flying
attacks and speed. However, with speed comes inaccuracy, and this very
flaw is known to be the downfall of the Children of Empyrea.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Monquista:</b></u></span>
The Immortal of Monquista is quite sly and tricky. But his strength is
awe inspiring, and thus the Children of Monquista are expected to live
up to his name. Utilizing the power of trickery and stealth the Children
of Monquista are excellent fighters of gorilla warfare and their
presence on the battlefield is both a strange one and an exciting one.
Currently, their only known weakness is their own selves. For each
attack that they deal also causes them some sort of pain in return.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Krokotopia:</b></u></span>
The Immortals of Krokotopia believe in a strict balance. Like the other
Immortals the Krokotopian Immortals bend energies to their will, many
times these energies will originate from the Afterlife allowing them to
conjure spirits and possess the living. Their children aren't much
different, while they can't posses the living they can morph into
various objects, as well as still be allowed to conjure spirits, and
deal damage from afar, plus the ability to steal health from enemies but
also making them weak to up close attacks.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Azteca:</b></u></span>
Being the origin point of the Immortals grants massive power to the
Children of Azteca. Their ability to bend darkness, the Undead, and the
earth at will to power them is quite a spectacle to see. Using these
powers they can unleash powerful forms of magic. Sadly, the price they
have to pay for using such magic is being forced to wait a round to
recharge or charge up.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>Celestia:</b></u></span>
The Children of Celestia being the last of the Children share qualities
that no other Bloodline does. Using the magic of the Stars, Sun, and
Moon the Children of Celestia are able to reconnect themselves with the
past and the Spiral and enables them to conjure devastating spacial and
temporal attacks while also granting them powerful energy to change
their shapes or boost the next attack weather its their next attack or
an allies'. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><u>Zafaria:</u></b></span>
The last of the Bloodlines, the Children of Zafaria are weak and
invisible to the Spiral. Having been broken up amongst and influenced by
many other cultures the Children of Zafaria have lost their roots.
However! It is only when they are amongst those of their own kind,
weather it be a Spirit or a friend the Children of Zafaria's powers can
increase tenfold allowing them to blast their enemies with ancient magic
from the very heart of Baobab.</span></span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>~ The Plot ~</u></span></span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> ~
Seeking refuge from a hoard of monsters the player (you) are on the
edge of defeat in the jungles of Skull Island. Then all of a sudden a
portal appears and a Blood Brother. He asks the player what's going on
(setting up what Bloodline you are, etc.) appears. He commands you to
take our the monsters with his assistance and then afterwards using the
same portal the player is brought to the Argent Hall. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /> Afterwards
the player is brought to the Grand Chamber on the top floor where the
Consul and her Council is. They again, then proceed to interrogate the
player. The player is then sent back down to the base of the Argent
Hall's where the player is shown around the various chambers and the
dormitory by a Silent Sister. Soon after an arlarm goes off, apparently a
hoard of monsters has somehow broken into the Argent Hall despite the
powerful wards in place. The Silent Sister that was with the player then
rushes to the Armory expecting the player to follow. Once inside the
player receives (his/her) first weapon regarding the Bloodline that they
are. From that point and forward the player is put through a series of
Quests to defeat the hoard of monsters that have broken in through the
basement. Around the very end the player encounters a secret mining
project that was just completed by the monsters. The player then decides
to follow the passageway entering the Final Dungeon of this "World".
Upon completion of the Dungeon the player discovers that four great
artifacts were stolen. The gifts from the Great Snakes to their mother,
and the Consul; Grandmother Serpent. She then sends you on a Quest to
track down these artifacts and she hands you a Keystone, an artifact
that can be used in the Centre Chamber of the Argent Hall. Upon placing
it in the Archway and using an Aurastone (Aura stones are assigned to
certain Worlds) in one of the Astrolabe Archways in the Centre Chamber
the player is transported along a Bridge to a new World, with a new
adventure, to track down the artifacts.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> At
some point in the story though the player comes face to face with a
mysterious cloaked and partially mechanical winged creature. The
creature claims to be an Elite of a secret clan that wishes to plunge
the Spiral into Darkness so that monsters may rule. Who they are
governed by and what the name of the clan is it will not tell. Thus,
leaving you no choice you slay the creature and report back to the
Consul. She then will reward you for your efforts and research more of
the origins of this mysterious clan. ~</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">~ Well, that's all for now, until next time. See ya in the Spiral..! ~</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"> ~ With the release of the <a href="https://www.wizard101.com/game/five-boxes-event" target="_blank"><b>Five B.O.X.E.S. Event</b></a> there was a lot of interesting history about
where the professors of Ravenwood came from and other little details.
However, I wasn't as interested in all of that once I stepped foot
inside Dimwood Vale. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">
Now here's the interesting thing. Dimwood Vale is very much like the
Darkmoor concept art that we've seen in the past. And not only that, but
inside the Cornu House there are pictures of Darkmoor hung about. And
the houses in them match the same design of Cornu House's exterior.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">So. </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">After gathering a plethora of information I've decided to dedicate this next blog post to something rather important to us all. The Third Arc. and its Worlds in the making. Specifically Darkmoor.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"></span></div>

In fact, even the Artist who drew Darkmoor had a few wild ideas on what Darkmoor should look like. If you're interested, see Swordroll's post <a href="http://www.swordroll.com/2013/09/pirate101-new-world-darkmoor-concept-art.html" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a> on the matter.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">In fact, the Thunderbird from Cool Ranch even mentioned Darkmoor as being the "World of Shadows" and home to an "evil spirit from the Before Time."

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">This "evil spirit from the Before Time" what could it be? It sounds a lot like Olde Cob. Perhaps in a different form because we know he was asleep. And we also know that it's possible for Greater Beings to take on different and multiple forms. The Storm Titan who sunk Celestia took on the form of a Triton. Tempus Stormfist if you remember. </span><br />

unless the Dworgyn's Ant Aunts found at Cornu House had moved there from Khrysalis I

If you're poor, or don't want to waste Crowns on the Halloween Items sold by Spooky Bob then farming Nightshade is the activity for you. And please note, all of Nightshade's items are for Wizards of a lower level. If you're looking for something for your level then I suggest checking out the other final Dungeons of the later Worlds. Also, the Black Cat Pet is not dropped by Nightshade. BUT! There is a way to get it and I'll address that later on. But for now I wish you luck with Nightshade and I hope you all get what you want from him before this celebration ends.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Unlike last year when we now have yet a fourth Halloween activity. This activity is Fishing, but what you're Fishing for are special "Seasonal" Fish that only come around once every year or so. And this time KingsIsle has presents to us a collection of three new Halloween Fish. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">The first one is the Blackcat Fish which is a Death Fish can be found in the waters of the Commons of Wizard City.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">"If you manage to catch one of these rare fish, consider yourself
very lucky. Whether it's good luck or bad luck, is up for debate"</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">The Nightmare Pack is probably one of the most popular Packs in the Crown Shoppe. And since it's release it's received an update which featured a whole new collection of Mounts and gear. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">And now this year people wonder if there will be yet another update to it and what the update will be. Personally I'm hoping for a new type of Mount instead of the same olde Horses as well as a Frankenstein, Headless Horseman, and Vampire/Werewolf themed attire. What do you think will happen with the Nightmare Pack? Tell me in the comment section below.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">The release of Aquila brought with it the revolutionary new idea that an amulet could carry stats. No we're not talking just health, were talking full on resist, pierce, critical, and critical block. Of course you all know by now i am referring to the amulet of divine influence, which until the release of the second half of Khrysalis was the only amulet in the game which gave its user the unique ability to gain a stat advantage over other players in the Arena. With the release of the finale of the Morganthe saga, 7 new school specific stat amulets were added to the game, but are these amulets really worth the massive effort and luck it requires to obtain one?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">During the pre-part 2 era, the Amulet of Divine Influence was widely regarded as the best amulet available in live realm. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's not </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">difficult to see why. Although the critical given is </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">minimal, somewhere around +2% at level 100, the amulet gives a sizable amount of critical block. The +7% critical block provided can balance out the stats of high level players, who don't receive enough block from their high critical, Hades or crafted gear to survive in today's Arena. As if that wasn't enough the amulet also provides a small amount of pierce and resistance, adding a little more security to low resist spam sets, while simultaneously adding that little push that could turn a match in your favor. Being accustomed to using mastery amulets or amulets that gave nothing more than health boosts, this change was major, and altered the face of PvP. The release of 7 new school specific stat amulets from Morganthe, only added to this premise. But of course, these amulets come with a significant drawback, their nearly impossible to obtain. This begs the question, are they REALLY worth it? It's not hard to see that these amulets make a difference, but is it big enough where it </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">becomes a necessity to spend the countless hours required to obtain one? Speaking from my own personal opinion, these amulets have limitless value, especially for schools like mine (Myth) which demand every advantage you can pack into your stats in order to win. Then again, despite farming Morganthe at least twice a day, every day, for the past few months, I've yet to receive a single amulet, never mind my school specific jewel. These amulets have become so rare, that I've witnessed those extremely</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> lucky players get cussed out when they receive their amulet in minimal runs. So comment below what you think! Are the new stat amulets better than mastery amulets?

<h3>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> So Google is probably one of the most influential companies
in the world, alongside Microsoft and a bunch of other names that we have
become familiar to, but what happens when you have a product of the company, a Google
tablet a Google phone or your Gmail isn't working good, what do you do? You
call Google of course. with ought a doubt Google reps probably get more perks
in working for the company than other job title out there, and to make it even
better the more responsibility you have the better the company takes care of
you, say for instance you’re a Google maps coder or manager for nexus, your
living styles would reflect that of an executive or higher, Google takes care
of their employees so well you literally barely spend that pay check and feel accomplished
at the end of the day.</span></span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"> Google started in 1998 on September 4th, by Larry Page and
Sergey Bring, they envisioned a place where all the worlds information could be
found in one place and not scattered across the globe, probably if they didn’t
have a dream like that we would still need to visit library to library searching
for the correct information you need for school projects or any new knowledge
what so ever. The company in itself has seen its fair share of criticisms for
its ground breaking ideas as collecting all the worlds’ information and storing
it one place for it to be accessible does raise the legal issue of copyright infringement;
however Google has made it work.</span></h3>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"> Google’s head quarts are in Mountain View, California, and
nicknamed the Googleplex. The original complex with 2 million square feet of
office space is the company's second largest square footage assemblage of
Google buildings (The largest Google building is the 2.9 million square foot
111 Eighth Avenue building in New York City which Google bought in 2010). Once
the 1.1 million square foot Bay View addition comes on line in 2015 the
Googleplex will be the largest collection of Google buildings with 3.1 million
square feet of space, yes huge isnt it? Imagine working at such a large place? Cool
isn’t it? Well there is a lot to discuss when it comes on to Google so here is
a nifty wiki page that you can view on the Googleplex. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googleplex">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googleplex</a>).

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"> On September 1st, I interviewed a Google rep called
"John" I made him aware that I will be conducting an interview on
behalf of the Shadow Compendium blog, he has made specific notifications not to
mention him be full name, it was over the phone and I’ve called quite a few
times as a few has denied the interview. Please note as well guys the questions
asked are specifically aimed at the employees well being and metal state and
not a reflection on how good or bad the company is, "John" is also a
supervisor for the Nexus 7 product line Manufactured by the company I work for
"Asus"</span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">The interview took 35:45m and was very enlightening.</span></span></span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><o:p><span style="color: blue;"> </span></o:p></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"> On requesting to speak with a supervisor after calling the Google
line I heard "hello my name is John and thank you for calling Google’s
Nexus 7 support line, how may I assist you?" In my mind I was like "I
hope you can" but then I explained my motives and john happily granted me
the interview, my first question to him was "how did you get your job? Was
it epic or a regular interview and stuff like that?" Johns answer was
"well it’s a bit boring but at the same time interesting, you see I was in
college at the time but my parents weren’t the riches people I know, and there
were a few complications, I was in medical school and as you know it’s
expensive and couldn’t pay for it in the end. I was 2 months away from being
kicked out when a friend of mine asked me if I would consider being a Google rep.
I replied with I’m a medical student and by far not good with technology, my
back was against the wall and money was needed so I took a chance" I interrupted
him and said "from that point on it must have worked out cause here you
are as a supervisor?" He laughed and said "I was in medical
school" and I was like "oh something life changing happened?" he
said "yes, I did get the job but there was a lot to learn, I soon spent
the next few months learning as much as I could from the wiser employees and
got so interested in it I dropped out of medical school, of course my parents weren’t
too happy but I felt it was a huge burden instead of an advantage, I decided to
go to IIT tech instead to learn computer engineering and information
technology. I finished the courses in less than 3 years and it was all thanks
to the overwhelming amount of information I learnt here from Google. currently I
restarted medical school, not as a main course of study but as a second choice"
I said to him that, that story wasn’t boring at all that it was amazing, to
think that Google changed your entire life enough to change your course of
study and the way you look at technology he said "the day I graduated from
IIT tech I was promoted" I genuinely felt happy for John as I know how
hard it must have been, so I asked "So working at Google makes you a lot
of money doesn’t it?" John laughed and said "not really, it’s all
about how you use the money, since working here I literally don’t have to buy
food or mostly anything, I save a lot" I laughed and said wait Google pays
for everything?" "Technically yes and they also gave me a part
scholarship so yeah" replied John, I was amazed. </span></span></span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"> </span></span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"> I went on to ask Hey John
what are your dreams for the future? and he answered with one word
"Promotion" I smiled and basically I could tell John was extremely
happy and comfortable in the current job at Google, he didn’t seem stressed or
forced into a conversation, he was natural and collective and really a source
for motivation in my mind, he was smart and cooperative and really understood
what he was saying and even more, at the end of the conversation he suggested
that I Google or YouTube when perks employees get and that most of what I see
will be true.</span></span></span></h3>

left feeling happy and accomplished, I shall leave some links at the bottom of
the page on Google including career links, but basically working at Google you
will be around technology a lot and a lot of cool people according to john, Not
much stress and your boss always gets you, it feels more like a theme park than
actual work and the company itself is a great place to be. You will always be
able to afford to eat well both in real food and knowledge. You will feel
wealthy and love to brag. So if you’re into technology or even not into techy
stuff and you are of age you can always visit Google for job postings, be
warned however you can be shipped off to foreign countries, which isn’t always
a bad thing. I myself would love to work at Google, every time I speak to a Google
rep which is like 10 or more times a day I can tell they are really happy with
the job, plus free food isn’t at all bad thing or maybe that just me.</span></h3>

weather you are young or old you can find a place at Google. Maybe not the job
of your dreams but who knows, maybe like john the company will change your
life. Always look closely at the opportunities you have and change them for the
better, life isn’t as bad and sometimes a little can be a lot. Thank you again

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Since the announcement of Pokemon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire, or ORAS for short the Pokemon community has grown impatient for its release.

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Personally I want to believe that ALL Legendary Pokemon will receive a
Primal-Evolution to allow them to bring out their olde powers that they
had when the World was new. As well, since stones are a recurring theme
in Pokemon and since they're made from earthen material that the Stones
of Mega-Evolution and the natural-like theme of the three Primal
"Weather" Legendary that they're somehow connected. Perhaps the Stones
of Mega-Evolution bring out an older power from maybe the Pokemon
ancestors or maybe they draw on the power of a Legendary Pokemon and
then it fuses the Pokemon's current power and the older power using the
stones as a type of satellite to transfer the energy?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyways, on the topic of Rayquaza. I personally think that he'll
receive a Primal-Evolution. Not just because of my reasoning above but
also because it would make sense and create a decent balance since his
siblings have one already. Plus being all ancient </span><span style="font-size: large;">and stuff and having
an Ability to cancel out weather effects I feel that Rayquaza will
receive a new "windy" weather effect that boosts the power of Flying
type moves and cancels out all other weather effects including the Heavy
Rain and the Extremely Harsh Sunlight.</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, IF Raquaza gets a Primal-Evolution I expect him to grow hair, a
bigger...longer body. A bright glowing green pattern tattooed all over
his body, and an extension of his spikes and horns that make them appear
almost like wings. And with theses appearance changes I also expect his
Speed, Sp. Attack, and Sp. Defense to increase drastically so that it
follows the idea of allowing him to match the speed of a jet, being able
to fire a single Hyper Beam towards a falling storm of comets, and to
protect him from the magic of Faerie-type Pokemon.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">In conclusion; along with Rayquaza's Primal-Evolution I hope that he
gets NOT ONE, BUT TWO Special Moves. The first one being a Physical
attack and a Sp. Attack. In my mind I'm thinking:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aurora Storm ~ Special ~ Flying ~ 7 PP ~ Base Damage ??? ~ Base Accuracy ???</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">While we're on the topic of Primal-Evolutions. Do you think that
they'll allow us to capture Regigigas in OR/AS? Provided we have its
three creations? And with Regigigas being captured do you think it will
get a Primal-Evoluton? There's a video on the said subject and I found
it to be interesting. Check it out. . .</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">I figured that it wouldn't be returning to OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire
which is a huge disappointment. I would appreciate it if GameFreak
follows through with some of their newer mechanics. Example: Character
customization, combining the Poke Mart and Pokemon Centre (I actually
had an idea where they could take the two themes from both of those
places and make them into a remix and then insert it as the main theme
from now on.), roller skating, changing seasons, animations for Gym
Leaders when you enter battle with them, music when doing the battle
facilities of that region, and different gym looks like what they did in
B&W.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lastly: If GameFreak continues to follow the current pattern we can
expect to see a remake of Diamond and Pearl next. Maybe they'll
introduce a Primal Dialga and a Primal Palkia of some sort? Also, do you
think it would be wise for GameFreak to remake the First and Second
generations...AGAIN for the 3DS and modernize it with the current
mechanics? </span></span><br />

And the cool thing about this set up is that when you scroll over one of them a set of smaller tabs pop up known as subcategories and they allow you to find a specific group of items. For example say I wanted to buy a Rental Mount. I'd scroll over the Mounts tab and a window would appear such as this one. And now all I have to do is click Rental Mounts and I'll be directed to a page full of only Rental Mounts. </span></span></div>

As we all know Autumn is approaching and it's that time of year when KingsIsle releases all of the fun Halloween Quests. But the question is; do you think they'll add more to them this year apart from the ones we already have? And do you think that they'll update the Nightmare Packs and if so, what do you think will be inside them? </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"> ~ Next, I'd like to introduce a new Pet...or rather olde Pet. The Grandpa Piggle. You can find this new Pet in the Crown Shoppe for Crowns. Concluding, since this Pet is new some of its Talents are unknown. Which makes it even more exciting to train!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please Note: If anyone says that they bought the Grandpa Piggle with Gold they are not lying. KingsIsle unintentionally made it available for 1000 Gold and since then it is now only available for purchase with 5000 Crowns. ~</span></span></div>
