Ditto Seeks a Drake Egg – Part 1
Now that I have the fabled Dragon Rider Staff, I need an actual dragon on which to ride… So I go and speak to the ancient dragon matriarch, who sends me on a quest to seek out the last of the drake eggs… Something tells me this isn’t going to be easy…
Ditto completes the Dragon Rider’s Staff!
After a lot of hard work and SO MANY duels, especially against spiders, Ditto has finally completed the awesome Dragon Rider’s Staff! Next up, I have to find a drake to ride into battle!
Ditto’s House-A-Paloza contest – The Winners!!!
So here they are, at long last, the winners of Ditto’s House-A-Palooza contest, all randomly chosen from the qualified entries that were sent in, and all winners have already been notivied via the email address they entered the contest with.
I got so many great entries, thank you so much for sending them in!! There were a bunch of people who even sent in pictures to go with their monsters! I had a great time reading your entries, and I hope you had fun entering the contest! Anyway, here are the winners:
Why couldn’t it be spiders??? Ditto versus Chronius
So, still working on that Dragon Rider’s Staff, I need to get a jewel crafting table that was stolen by a big mean fire boss, Chronius. Why I can’t just go to Ikea and find their nice ‘Jewel Crafter Table‘ I have no idea…
So of course the boss AND his minion are huge, cranky, and mostly immune to fire, so this was a LONG fight… but a fun one! If you’ve got twelve minutes to kill, check it out in it’s entirety… (more…)
Well, At least it’s not spiders…
After fighting 437 crystal spiders to get the spinnerets needed for making my crystal staff, I have yet another quest to continue on the path to Malistaire! At this point, I think she could tell me I need to defeat the Dragon Titan himself, using only a spoon and some twine, and I would grateful for it, simply because there are no spiders involved…
An unnecessary change of location…
So after defeating about a hundred spiders for little miss ‘I can’t be disturbed’, she decides that she STILL can’t work in her shop, and we need to relocate to a tower in the middle of the spider-infested Crystal Grove. Ah well – it’s not too far to travel. Of course once we get there, I have to help her get more equipment so she can work, and what’s the FIRST thing I need to get for her? (more…)
Ditto finds a jewelcrafter stuck in a jewel…
So I was wandering around DragonSpyre, looking for a crystal headpiece for my snazzy Dragon Rider’s staff, when I came across Milaka Jewlbender, a jeweler and crystal crafter, who happened to be trapped in an actual bock of crystal. This did not instill a lot of confidence in her skills- kind of like finding out your mechanic was late for work because his car broke down… Anyway, since she was the only person around who might be able to help me, I helped her out of her predicament, and in return she… sent me to kill crystal spiders… Sigh. (more…)
The Path to Malistaire – Creepy Prospector guy…
Along the path to the dreaded Malistaire, I have met many strange and interesting beings. Most have wanted to eat me, of course, but there are some who are happy to help me out – though usually for a price. In searching for the perfect crystal head to my Dragon Rider’s staff, I came across a person I will simply call ‘Creepy prospector guy’, who was camping in the Crystal Grove in the middle of a bunch of spiders. Of course he wants me to find HIS pet spider… you know how I am about spiders so… creepy guy!!
Ditto’s House-A-Palooza contest!
The contest has ended as of 12:01am PST on August 22nd, 2011. All winners have been notified by email.
Thank you!
Ditto hangs out with Ashley
SO I’ve finally gotten all the pieces of the Dragon Riders’ Staff – you know, they could have made that a little easier to get if it’s so important for saving the Spiral – I’m just sayin’… I return to Dragonspyre and talk to Ashley the fire tree, who tells me I’m not done yet… yes, now I need to find some special crystal in a grove full of my dreaded arch-enemy, the crystal ice spiders… And once again – if this staff is so critically important to saving the whole world, why wouldn’t they make it a little easier to get? Maybe just give it to Headmaster Ambrose for safe keeping, that way if someone needed it…. oh, never mind.
Weekly Video Bloggy Thingy – Technical Difficulties
So for the past week,we’ve been having some technical difficulties here at Dittomonster.com, so I haven’t been posting much or even doing much on Twitter. I’m happy to say that the technical issues have mostly been resolved, and I’ll be posting game videos and Carl videos again soon, probably tomorrow, and I’ll start walking that final path to Malistare… and infamy!!
Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy August 3rd
So here is my weekly video bloggy thingy for this week – I haven’t been online too much, but I did finish the ‘Onyx Chests’ quest for Dragonspyre and made it one step closer to facing the dread Malistaire!! The transcript for this video is below, as well…
Transcript:
Twitter – 474 followers! I’m almsot at 500 followers, which is a big deal for me! I can’t wait until I hit 500, that will be awesome!
I haven’t been online much in the last week or so – the weather has been beautiful and I have been out enjoying it a lot, so that’s why there are not many videos lately. I’ve been swimming and biking and we had a big cookout this weekend – Gardein ‘ultimate meatless burgers’ are the best vegan bugers I’ve ever had, by the way. It was rainy yesterday and looks cloudy already today, so I’ll have more videos up soon, don’t worry.
As far as Wizard 101, what play time I have had lately has been focused on the Onyx Chests quest – I think this was a fun re-use of the old quest areas, and it was lots of fun to go through Krokotopia – still my favorite – with a level 48 Digby armed with fire dragon. Not many bosses or fights in the game can last long against that spell – and it’s AOE, so that’s awesome.
So I was able to finish the onyx chests quest – which I didn’t film, because I’ve filmed all those fights before – and I’m ready to continue my way into Dragonspyre – I don’t think there’s too much left, so we really are getting close to Malistaire! I’ve got big plans for that fight, me getting very excited!
Finally, tonight is another edition of Ravenwood Radio, including an all new Daring Adventures of Ditto! I can’t wait – I’ll be there even though it’s at the same time as ‘Shark Week’ – that’s just the best thing on TV right now, isn’t it? I loves me so shark week!
Anyway, remember to play safe, and I’ll see you in the spiral!

The Return to Crab Alley – The Big Finish!
So here it is, the big finale for ‘Return to Crab Alley’! I didn’t get the final fight with Amadeo, we had technical issues (Carl!) and honestly, that fight only lasted two turns. Amadeo was big, but he wasn’t all that tough… (more…)
Ditto’s Adventures Continue in Crab Alley…
So Ditto has found King Thermidor and unlocked to Storm Chamber! He is finally getting to the bottom of the whole mystery… Whatever shall he find deep in the depths of the, uh… deepness…
Ditto defeats Doctor Zigmund – Meteor Strike!
Ditto finds the Storm Batteries.
Ditto fixes the storm batteries!
‘Ditto of the Deep’ – More from Crab Alley!
Ditto FINALLY finds King Thermidor and figures out what’s happening with the riverclaw Amadeo and Crab Alley and, as expected, it’s not pretty… Two videos today because they’re fun and I just want to get through Crab Alley!! 🙂
Ditto’s Weekly Video Bloggy Thingy – July 19th
So here it is, my weekly video bloggy thingy – as I’ve been doing lately, I am including a transcript – it’s close, anyway…
The twitter report – I now have 451 followers! Oh wow! That is still pretty amazing to me!
Currently in Wizard 101 –
Digby has finished ‘Return to Crab Alley’ and is back in Dragonspyre now, making his way towards the evil and naughty Malistaire. I should be there pretty soon! Fire Dragon is the most amazing spell, talk about damage! It’s awesome!
Destiny is level 20 now, I’m posting a new Destiny Project report this week, just need time to finish it. This project is really interesting, I’m learning a lot about playing and especially deck construction, since having a deck that can only hold a handful of cards makes deck construction really critical!
The big question for me this week was should I keep Madame Jasmine or swap out with my new level 48 pet, my helephant. I’m going to take the advice of a number of people who told me to train the helephant up and see what skills manifest, then use the helephant when I need her, and keep Madame Jasmine as well. Sounds good to me, so that’s what I’ll do!
It has been HOT around here lately – this is not a good situation when you’re covered with thick fur, you know? It gets pretty toasty, but I’ve still been spending a lot of time outside, enjoying the fresh air, riding my bike (always wear a helmet!) and things like that. I hope everyone is having a nice fun summer, there’s so much to do, it can be lots of fun!
That’s about it for now. There’s a new Ravenwood Radio tomorrow night with another thrilling ‘Daring Adventures of Ditto’, so I’m excited for that! It’s definitely going to be a good one.
So until next week, Have a great week, and always play safe!!
PLOX!
Ditto returns to Crab Alley – With FIRE DRAGON!
That’s right – once Professor Falmea trained me up on the amazing Fire Dragon spell, I just had to try it, and I still needed to finish up that pesky Crab Alley quest and rescue silly King Thermidor, so I decided to kill two birds (and a lot of river claws) with the proverbial ‘one stone’ or, in this case, dragon. It IS an impressive site, too… just amazing!
Ditto Gets Fire Dragon! Mavra Flamewing defeated!
After my somewhat humiliating defeat at the hands of Mavra Flamewing, I got a lot of great advice, so I re-tooled my deck and went toe to toe with Mavra and her pain-in-the-pox minions again, and this time defeated her easily! (more…)
New Video – Ditto and the worst duel ever…
On the path to get the amazing Fire Dragon spell, I had to duel Mavra Flamewing. This, as it turns out, was about the worst duel I’ve ever had and did, in fact, lead to my defeat. There are some clear reasons for this, though, so I wanted to post about it so maybe others can learn form my mistake. (more…)
Ditto and the Fire Dragon – Part 1!
Digby reached level 48 recently (woohoo!), and at level 48 got a summons from Professor Falmea. It seems I was ready to learn my most powerful spell yet, the mighty Fire Dragon!! Of course to get such a powerful spell, a quest must be undertaken!
First I had to quest through Wizard City, my beloved Krokotopia, Marleybone, and Mooshu, defeating fire bosses and collecting special fire gems. After that, I had to find a special gold necklace to hold the gems, which was in a fiery forge in Dragonspyre! What will I have to do next to master this amazing spell? That will have to wait for part 2! (because let’s face it, nobody is going to watch a 20 minute video of me wandering around Dragonspyre…)
Ditto’s Weekly Video Bloggy Thingy – July 12th
Here it is, my weekly video bloggy thingy – it’s been a slow news week and I’ve been camping and enjoying the outdoors a lot – being outside is fun and awesome. I’ve also got a somewhat accurate transcript posted below, because a few people ave asked for that previously. (more…)
Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy – June 28th, 2011
Here we are again, my weekly video bloggy thingy, which I have kept to a pretty much weekly schedule for a while now- yay me!
So this week I talk about the amazing Ravenwood Ball, I got over 400 followers on Twitter, my current status in game for Digby and Destiny Hexcrafter, and I discuss the finer points of the Wizard 101 blogging and fansite community, which is pretty awesome, isn’t it?
Madame Jasmine and the Pet Derby
So I wanted to do some fun and exciting Pet Derby videos. Getting set up to play pet derby this time was, for some odd reason, far more problematic than I remembered.
The first video is just a comedy of errors trying to even start a Pet Derby race, and the second is me doing not very well in a race. I thought it was pretty funny… Madame Jasmine did not.
Ditto’s 200th YouTube Video – behind the scenes with Ditto and Miss Narrator!
So here it is – after about a year and a half (My first video was posted on February 16th, 2010) and over 100,000 total views, I have reached the near-mythical 200th video! Well, it’s a pretty big number to me, anyway. My 100th video was… well… sad. For this one, we wanted to do something very different, something we had never done before, so we decided to shoot a behind the scenes video as we recorded the latest episode of ‘The Daring Adventures of Ditto’! Miss Narrator and I had a lot of fun doing this, and I REALLY appreciate the fact that Miss Narrator happily agreed to be on camera for the first time ever! I didn’t even have to bribe her with strawberry scented shampoo! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
