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!

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.
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 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!
The big ‘Pet’ question…
SO at level 48, in addition to the amazing Fire Dragon spell, I got a new pet – the ‘School Pet’ for Pyromancers, a Helephant named Miss Oliver. She’s very cute, and I can already tell she has a sweet disposition, but… There’s Madame Jasmine. Jasmine has been by my side and sharing my adventures since March of last year. She’s like a trusted digital companion to me – that might sound silly, but she’s been with me so long it just seems like putting out to pasture would somehow be… wrong.

So what do people think? Train up my new Helephant or stick with my faithful sidekick Madame Jasmine? Or a little of both?
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…)
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.
Ravenwood Ball – Thank You Fallon!!
Tonight was the wonderful and amazing Ravenwood Ball, put together by Diary of a Wizard! I had a REALLY good time, got all fancy in my new outfit, and saw so many friends from Ravenwood Radio and the other great blog sites and a lot of the Twizards. I know I probably added another 20 people to my friends list too!
It took me about ten tries to port into the main party at Ravenwood – I’ve NEVER seen it so full! The place was a SEA of people! It was pretty slow, but we could move around. I took a ton of screenshots. After a while at Ravenwood I stopped at a few of the satellite parties and saw some AMAZING houses, beautifully decorated. I really need to be better at decorating my house!
Here is a gallery of screen shots I took at the party. If I didn’t get to meet you or talk to you, I do apologize – there was just so much going on, I couldn’t possibly say hi to everyone, but I gave it my best shot!
Tonight – Ravenwood Radio AND my 200th video!!
Tonight, be sure to tune in to Ravenwood Radio as they record Episode 43!! There will be an all new Daring Adventures of Ditto, Episode 27, as Ditto and Madame Jasmine enter Dragonspyre, PLUS a special announcement at the end of the episode about my very special 200th YouTube video!! It’s a big first for us, so you definitely do not want to miss it!!
Return to Crab Alley, Part 7 – a breakthrough!
Through the use of calm reasoning (and dropping meteors on people) Ditto finally learns where King Thermidor – the REAL King Thermidor – is being held captive! Now it’s a race against the clock to save him!
Return to Crab alley, Part 6! Into the Breach!
So there I was, minding my own business in Crab alley – sorta – and I see this big hole in the wall, with guards around it. I wonder if maybe this is where King Thermidor is hanging out?
Return to Crab Alley, Part 5
Well this is taking a lot longer than I had imagined… I might post these with a little more frequency now, as there are still a bunch of parts still to come!
This was my favorite part so far – we finally reach the throne room in Crab alley to speak to the king, only to find… some big scary looking purple guy saying he’s King Thermidor! Yikes!!! So now, instead to clearing things up, getting to see the king has only increased the mystery!!
