Ditto and ‘Pet Farming’
After listening to Ravenwood Radio on Wednesday night I decided that ‘pet farming’ sounded kind of fun – or at least interesting – so I headed to Unicorn Way and started fighting Rattlebones. After a couple fights I streamlined my deck down to just Sun Birds and Leprechauns, so that I could take out old ‘bones and his minion in either 2 or 3 turns, minimizing my downtime. I am very pleased to say that after ‘a while’ of pet farming I won a 1 day pony mount and Miss Madison, a Myth Sprite. I know she’s not a super-duper pet, but I was pretty thrilled just to have gotten her, and she’s very pretty – here are pictures and a quick video of me doing some pet farming and kicking some Rattlebones butt…
DItto’s video blog – June 17th
Another video blog – I went back to my old camera, I haven’t been as happy with the newer rig I was using. It was easier for me to use – you know, three fingers, furry, makes a lot of technology tricky to use – but the quality wasn’t as good…
So this week I’m just talking about pets, pet farming, and other fun in Wizard 101. I like the video blogs, they are fun to make, I hope you like them too…
Ditto’s Video Blog – June 9
Just me, your favorite furry orange monster, talking about other games (gasp!) like LOTRO going free to play and the new Clone Wars free to play game that was just announced. Also – a big announcement regarding ‘The Daring Adventures of Ditto’….
More Pet Pavilion – Cannon Time!
Yes, Ditto gave into peer pressure and shot Madame Jasmine out of a cannon. It was actually kind of fun, and I think Madame Jasmine liked it.. She loved cupcakes apparently.
Madame Jasmine goes to the races…
My first try at the Pet Derby in the Pet Pavilion – we came in third, but it was so fun! Madame Jasmine had a good time too. I’m going to be doing a lot more of that…
Ditto Explores the Krokosphynx
I have started my explorations of the dark and mysterious Krokosphynx! I don’t get very far before I find myself face to face with my arch nemesis the dreaded Ice Spiders…
I made it to the Krokosphynx!
So I finally got my videos transferring again – had a bit of technical difficulty thanks to a virus software upgrade. And as a helpful tip – if you run AVG anti-virus, the ‘link checker’ scanner can prevent you from successfully transferring files to YouTube. You need to disable it to get that transfer to work. Something I wish I knew a week ago…
So without further ado – Ditto reaches the Krokosphynx!
Ditto’s vBlog for May 23
Here’s my Video Blog this week – just me chatting about stuff. I didn’t put any script together so there’s a lot of babbling I think…
Ditto’s Video Blog for May 6, 2010…
Ditto was on Ravenwood Radio last night!! I had so much fun making my ‘Daring Adventures of Ditto’ spot – did people like it? I hope people liked it! I’m going to do more of them and hopefully will keep getting them played on Ravenwood Radio – thanks so much to everyone who helped me do that!!
Anyway, here is this week’s video blog – Ditto is trying a new camera and it’s not as high-def but much easier to use so let me know what you think of this week’s vBlog… PLOX!
Battling Pike SpiritCrusher
Here is the finale of my epic boss fight. After defeating those nasty ice spiders I had to duel their boss, the cyclops Pike SpiritCrusher. Pike was pretty annoyed with me after I told him Pike was the name of a fish, and the battle commenced. Thankfully I was victorious, since I did not want to duel those ice spiders again…
And does anyone know why his Ghoul spell was able to bypass my Spirit Armor? It absorbed damage from his other spells after that, but Ghoul seemed to do full damage? Do death spells bypass those absorbs? If so, that’s pretty sweet… For death school, anyway. Kind of a bummer for me.
Ditto versus the Ice Spiders…
Here it is, my epic (10+ minute) battle against two ice spiders in Spirit Crusher’s Tomb. Many fire shields and no fire elf cards made for a really long fight, but I was victorious in the end!! It does teach me that I need to work on my treasure cards more and that I need a good shield breaker, as my staff (Ascendant Staff) casts balance, not fire….
Ditto’s vBlog of the week
Hey folks, time for another Ditto’s Video Blog, where I talk about Mr. Krabs in Celestia, general Krokotopia fun, and ask about what other videos you want to see… Hope you enjoy!
Indiana Ditto and the Temple of Krok!
As I adventure through the spooky old tombs of ancient Krokotopia I feel like a daring archeologist, battling evil villains and avoiding traps to collect priceless artifacts and, some day soon, the Krokonomicon itself!!!
Oh, and can I just say I’m really happy about the Lovecraft homage there – made me laugh when I heard about it.
Also, in this video, I make level 16!! Just got my fire trap spell, which really amps up the damage. I just wish that the damage bonus would apply to each round of a DOT spell, not just the initial hit. It’s frustrating when I’ve got a fire trap and a fire blade ready but all I have to cast are fire elf cards…
Ditto defeats the Nirini Boss!
Second time’s a charm – I fought Biti Nirini again and got him this time! Good fight, I was able to sunbird the sentry on the first turn (thank you again Ascendant Staff!!!) and then was able to focus fully on the boss.
At a critical part of the fight I actually discarded a Sunbird instead of casting it – one of the curses of only having three fingers, clicking on the wrong button – and the fight went on a bit longer than I had hoped. It was a real nail biter there at the end, I was left with only 78 points of health when I finally took him down!!!
Ditto’s first Krokotopian boss fight….
And it doesn’t go well. I lost! Very tough fight, and I fizzled at just the wrong time and went down in flames… Very sad.
Ditto arrives in Krokotopia!!
After much questing and dueling, I have finally arrived – via my trusty in-game avatar Digby – to the amazing Krokotopia!!! What amazing adventures await me in this mystical and magical land!! I can’t wait to find out!
Ditto defeats the Gobblers!!
My final battle against the Prince of the Gobblers was a good fight, came pretty close to losing thanks to a couple fizzles, but a well placed heal spell kept me in the fight. Once I defeated the two barons and the prince, the Gobbler King had no choice but to bow to my pyromancer skills…
Ditto fights Baron Rotunda!
One of the big Gobbler boss fights, Baron Rotunda was tricky but I beat him just fine!! I did learn the agony of the dreaded ‘Two points left? He’s only got two points left!” when I hit his minion with a Sunbird…
Ditto Battles Baron Greebly
The first of the Gobbler Baron fights, this one went just about as perfect as a boss fight can go! Sunbird first turn to take out the minion, then lots of DOT stacked on the Baron, taking him down quick and clean!
Ditto’s Weekly vBlog
Just me, DittoWizard, talking about my favorite game and some other general stuff…
Ditto, The Headmaster, and The Kindly Tree…
After finding out that the Death school had fallen into Nightside, I went to tell the headmaster (Of course). He sent me to talk to the great tree Bartleby. I fed him a potion and he told me quite a tale! OK, I didn’t understand a word of it, but I don’t talk to trees much…
So THAT’s where the Death school went…
I was sent on a quest by the Headmaster to explore the waterfall near rainbow bridge, so I hurried over there and – careful not to get my fur wet – peeked through the waterfall there. You’ll never believe what I found!!
Ditto Finds Stormdrain tower!
On a quest I find the very spooky Stormdrain Tower, where Madame Jasmine and I have to fight Lord Nightshade, a terrifying bad guy, and his field Guard minion! It was a good fight, touch and go for a little while, but I was eventually victorious!!
Decorating the Dorm Room
So in all my adventures I had been getting lots of little items that were for ‘decorating’ – so I decided to decorate my dorm room. It was very fun and I was amazed at all the options that were available. Now I REALLY can’t wait to get a house – especially since I couldn’t plant my elm tree in the middle of my dorm room! I’ll bet if I were a dedicated life student I could do that…
School houses seem pretty expensive but I’ll bet by level 20 I could probably afford one…
