Ditto hears weird music, heads to Stormriven

After completing all quests in The Floating Land, Ditto heads back down to the undersea domes of Celestia – hearing strange music as he travels down that dark undersea elevator…

Once he delivers the submarine parts to Peter Benchleys’ niece, it’s off to Stormriven for more exciting adventure… That sounds so nice and friendly – not!

And in Stormriven I need to defeat these Celestian revenant ghost thingys and collect something from them – once again this seems like a ’1 chance in 20′ drop rate, as after 5 or 6 battles (they start to blend together) I’ve yet to collect a single quest item! I do understand game mechanics that extend people’s play time, but this is absolutely my least favorite!!

New Video – Ditto hits Level 56! #wizard101

While finishing up in The Floating Land, I was talking to one of the lovely water moles turning in a quest when – Ta Daaa! – I level up to 56!  It’s so rare that I catch a level up while I’m filming, I was very excited!  I like the end of the water moles quest, too – they’re so cute and fuzzy…

Ditto Versus the Soul Tearer

Getting towards the end of The Floating Land series of quests, I have to light a torch, which then summons a nasty Rank 10 boss monster named Soul Tearer.  For once why can’t I fight someone like ‘Cute Bunny’ or ‘Tickle Monster’…  Anyway, facing down this Rank 10 Life Boss and his Rank 9 fire minion was a tough fight, but I had help when Chris Lionflower ported in and started casting some major life damage.  I was pretty low on life, but I finally defeated the boss with a well placed Helephant…   So now I just have to talk to those nice water moles and get the submarine parts back down to the base…

Video for Malistaire’s Lament! As heard on The Daring Adventures of Ditto and Ravenwood Radio!

I have gotten so much great feedback from this song, and had so many people ask me for an MP3 of it, that I wanted to do something fun and new with it, something I had never tried before, so I created a video for the song!!  I used cuts from the original Malistaire commercial for Wizard101 and some parts of the Malistaire battle cutscene.  I hope people like it – I really like how it came out!

The MP3 is also available here:

Malistaire’s Lament – MP3

Lyrics: (To the tune of ‘Jack’s Lament’ from Nightmare Before Christmas)

There are few who deny at what I do I am the best, my dark magic is renowned far and wide.
When it comes to surprises in the dragonspyre night, I excel without ever really trying,

With the slightest little effort of my death school charms,
I have seen grown kroks give out a shriek!

With the wave of my hand and a well placed spell,
I have swept the best of wizards off their feet…

But year after year it’s the same routine,
and I grow so wearing of the sound of screams…
I tire of this role, if they only understood,
I’d give it all up if I only could….

Ditto and Madame Jasmine search for lost dock workers!

While exploring deep in the jungles of the mysterious Floating Land, Ditto gets an urgent summons! It seems that some of the Marleybone dock workers are lost in the deep jungle, so Ditto and Madame Jasmine need to go search for them and help them get back. I won’t even make a joke about Marleybonians and trees…

So far the floating Land is really exciting, but I’d love to get back down below and keep exploring the lost civilization of Celestia… Its so beautiful and cool down there. Hopefully I’ll be able to find those submersible parts soon!!
