Captain Ditto and his crew on the search for Gunn’s Treasure

Ditto and his crew are out searching for the fabled treasure of Gunn, an infamous pirate.  Ditto searches through Gunn’s house and finds a note that sends him to the Ruined Lighthouse, looking for another clue at the grave of Gunn’s first mate! The crew sail to the Ruined Lighthouse and begin to search for dear old Ned’s grave.


Ditto and Paige MoonShade versus Queen Tanei

After Ditto’s rather embarrassing defeat against Queen Tanei, he gets help from the one and only Queen of the Wizard101 housing and decorating scene, Miss Paige Moonshade.  With Paige’s help Ditto makes short work of Queen Tanei and saves the day once again!! This is a great battle and Paige is great help, she’s an amazing wizard!


Ditto Versus Queen Tanei – Take 1

Ditto is back and still in the Savanna, with a cure for the GhostMane Queen – unfortunately she’s not really into taking medicine (maybe she’s more into homeopathic remedies?)  and there is quite a fight.  Unfortunately for Ditto, she REALLY doesn’t want to take her medicine, and Ditto doesn’t fare particularly well.  I probably had too many cards in my deck, as I didn’t get the fire prism I needed until pretty late.  It’s a good battle, and like they say – you can’t win all the time.

Ditto versus Queen Tanei

The next video has a special guest star as Ditto looks for help to finally defeat the GhostMane Queen!


Ditto Plays With Phillip The Cat

Since people seem to like it when Phillip shows up in my videos, I wanted to make him the star of one, so here is me playing with Phillip… Happy Friday!


Ditto is Picking Fruit Now – Will he Make Pie?

So yes, after defeating giant bugs, Ditto now has to collect fruit and cook it, in order to make medicine to cure those pesky Firemane lions!  Ditto is a little nervous having to go into another hut to cook the medicine, since every time he enters a hut he gets attacked by giant bugs.. Lets hope it doesn’t happen this time!


Ditto Wizard, Savanna Exterminator?

Ditto finally collects all the staffs from the Ghostmane Tribe – boy did THAT take a while – and gives them to Tik Tik, who tells Ditto to go into his hut to see some evidence about the missing students.  Unfortunately, Tik Tik’s hut is infested with bugs.  Great big bugs. Something smells a bit fishy about this one…


Ditto gets a new ship and searches Flotsam for One Eye’d Jack!

Ditto, still on the search for Ratbeard, needs to find One Eye’d Jack, who owes the Frogfather a favor and might know where Ratbeard is, so Ditto is off to Flotsam!  Ditto does get a new ship, which which is pretty awesome, but it’s not quite the same level as the cool ship I already have – it’s still nice though!  Once on board the ship, Ditto heads out to the amazing town of Flotsam and makes his way to the infamous ‘Black Spot’ tavern, where all kinds of crazy things happen!


Ditto’s Prehistoric Party!! Contest Fun!!

So Ditto has some prehistoric prizes to promote, and he’s positively… um… purple?  No that doesn’t work, purple clashes something terrible with Orange…  Anyway, Ditto has some great prizes to give away throughout November, including scaradactyl pets and mounts, magic treehouses, and a couple full prehistoric bundles! So how am I going to give them away?  How does a daily giveaway sound?  Sounds pretty exhausting to me, but for you, my fans, it’s totally worth it!  And how do you take part in this daily giveaway?  Send Ditto an email at dittocontest@gmail.com with the subject ‘Daily Giveaway’ with your wizard name, and every day I’ll choose a random winner and a random prize – you only have to send one email and you’re entered, you don’t need to enter every day.  It’s that simple (because I am a simple monster).

I’ll probably do some Twitter giveaways, too – we’ll see what happens!

Play Safe and Have Fun!!


More Help from Friends in The Savanna

Ditto has more help from Duncan, Lindsey Goldengrove and Seth Ghostsmith, taking on the Ghostmane tribe, hunting for tribal staffs. I did finally get all the staffs collected (It was over 25 fights!) and will have that posted soon!


Ditto gets Some Help in The Savanna

Trying to get through The Savanna and find the eight staffs to finish the quest, Ditto got some help from his twitter friends Duncan, Lindsey Goldengrove and Seth Ghostsmith – we had a great time and fought a few good battles.  It’s great playing with friends!


Ditto is Searching for Lion Staffs on the Savanna…

There are so many glowing lions around here Ditto feels like he’s in every season of Voltron all at the same time…   So Ditto is once again fighting the Fire Lion Ravagers out on the savanna, looking for guide staffs.  Ditto needs to find eight guide staffs, for some reason, and these guys drop the staffs about one in five times, so I’ll have to fight a LOT of them…This is one of those times where Ditto would certainly pay crowns to dramatically increase the % chance of the required quest item dropping.


Happy Halloween from Ditto! I’m a Puppy!

Ditto wants to wish all of my friends, fans, and followers a happy, safe, FUN Halloween with lots of candy and not TOO many scares!!  Ditto is all ready – I am dressed as a puppy this year, because I’m a monster all year round and I kind of want to change it up this year!  I’ll have to post pictures!!


Ditto Builds a Better Mousetrap!

Ditto is again begin helpful in the Savanna, making a mousetrap out of whistling torn trees to catch little squeaky mice!  It’s very cute – wonder if Oni are afraid of mice 🙂


New Video – Ditto fights the Ghost Mane Tribe Again… #wizard101 #zafaria

In searching for the students, it turns out Ditto needed to fight the Ghose Mane tribe yet again to find some clues – he could have done this earlier, of course, but his guide tik tik whatever just didn’t think of it, apparently.  He’s really not very helpful as a guide.  He kind of just stands there and makes odd comments.

Ditto plants a Garden in The Savanna

In continuing his ‘Ditto, Handyman of the Savanna’ theme, Ditto is now doing some amateur gardening.  He gets seed from Narley the mole-guy and helps Eden, one of the students, to plant a nice little garden so the Darkmane tribe has food to eat.  It’s good to feel helpful – though I do hope I don’t forget how to use my wand after all of this handyman stuff…


Handyman Ditto builds a Spear!

Still adventuring in the Savanna, Ditto has apparently gotten quite a reputation as a handyman! He has fixed fences and towers, and now Ditto is helping an Ikea warrior build a spear. Anything to help, right? It would be nice to get back to magic, though…


Pirate 101 Ship to Ship Combat Could Be My Favorite Thing!

I’ve been having some grand adventures in the Skyways of the Spiral, and one of my favorite things is ship to ship combat!! The roar of cannons, the clash of spells, the smoke in the sails and the clashing of massive timbers as we board the enemy ships! There’s a lot of strategy involved, and there are a few different ways you can fight from your ship. There is fighting ‘natural’ enemies like flying fish and sharks, who swarm your deck if you get to close! Then you have other ships, where you fight ship to ship either until you can board the other ship and fight the crew hand to hand, or else just blast them to pieces and send them down to Davy Jones’ Locker! It’s exciting and lots of fun – I know I’ll be focused on upgrading my ships with bigger and better guns and spells!


Ditto faces the Fire Lion Ravagers

After fixing some fences and watchtowers and I think waxing someone’s car and doing a few loads of laundry, Ditto is sent out to fight Fire Lion Ravagers, which are scary and awesome!  The Lions are fire and the lionesses are death, a scary combination, so Ditto re-tools his deck a bit for the fight.

I have to say, once again I love the design of these enemies; the blue fire effect is pretty awesome, and they were a really good fight.


Ditto P. Monster, Savanna Handyman!

Ditto has rounded up a lot of sticks to help fix a fence, and then had to go fix a watchtower that had been knocked over in an attack. In Zafaria it seems like Ditto has suddenly traded in his wand and amazing pyromancer’s skills for a hammer and some heavy lifting… but it’s all to help people, and Ditto is always happy to help!


Pirate101 Head Start is Officially Open! Welcome Daring Digby Devereaux!

That’s right me maties, Pirate101 is officially open for headstart players, and will be open to everyone on October 15th!  Ditto was able to get into the head start, and I have a fun new video of me creating my first character, a Swashbucker named Daring Digby Devereaux!  Here is all the character creation and tutorial quests!


Ditto Finds Another Student in the Savanna

After Ditto found all the biltong for Chief Hakuna Matata, the chief let Ditto know that one of the missing students was there in the village, trying to help them grow some plants.  So Ditto has found another student, and has a new quest too!


Ditto get into a Food Fight!

After many, MANY fights with the Ikea guys, Ditto got the six spears he needed and gave them to the chief. Unfortunately, while Ditto was gone some other tribes came in and stole some food.  Well, Ditto will not abide people stealing food, even if it’s not pie, so he headed into battle to get the food back…


Ditto Battles Striped Iklaws

Ditto is on a quest for one of the tribal chiefs of the savanna, Chief Kakuta. Ditto has to defeat Striped Iklaws to win spears, so Chief Kakuta’s tribe can defend themselves. I’m thinking that maybe if I take all the spears from the Iklaws and not give them to Chief Kakuta’s tribe, then nobody will have spears and I can RULE THE WORLD WITH MAGIC!!! Um, I mean, I can make everyone sit down and talk and be peaceful…

This is a pretty textbook display of Pyromancer awesomeness – blade, blade, Fire Dragon, VICTORY!
