Ditto’s Massive Fantasy Palace winners!! #wizard101

For House-A-Palooza Ditto had a simple contest – if you could guess which house I was giving away based on a single, tricky screen shot, you would have a chance to win!  Well, I thought it was a tricky contest – but lots and LOTS of you knew right where Ditto was! So here are the four big winners – each of the winners gets the mystery house  – a Massive Fantasy Palace!

  • jasmine rainbowriver
  • Thomas DragonRider
  • Calamity Daystalker
  • Rowan Moonstone

I’ve got more codes for things like teleporters I’ll also be giving away to random winners, so keep checking your email today and tomorrow!!

Thanks to all who entered, and thank you to KingsIsle and the awesome folks at Wizard101 for helping us fan sites put together so many awesome contests!!


Ditto faces Killmore Spiritwalker in Zafaria!

Ditto is back in Wizard 101 – and completely forgot what he is doing, so he followed the yellow arrow to the cave of Killmore Spiritwalker, a Rank 11 life boss. So yeah – first 10 minutes back in Wizard101 after vacation, and Ditto is in a big boss fight – so exciting!!


Ditto’s Win a Wizard101 House Contest! You just have to find it!

So Ditto has another fun and crazy contest, and in this one, you can win a HOUSE!  Which house? Well, that’s the contest – you need to figure it out!  I’m posting a single screenshot of me in the house that I’m giving away, and it’s a tricky one!  Email me at dittocontest@gmail.com with a subject of ‘House Contest’, your wizard name, and which Wizard101 house you think I’m in (With the name that shows up in the game menu), and you’ll have a chance of winning one of the same house!!  Don’t worry if you can’t figure it out, though – I’ve also got a bunch of codes for random Teleport Tapestries, and I will choose random winners for those too!  Lots of winners in August!

Ditto investigates in Stone Town

Ditto takes the Bill of Lading he found on the waterfront to Hrathi Irontrunk to decipher, then talks to the queen, who sends Ditto to talk to the Stone Town historian. Hrathi also discovers that the Bill of Lading had the queen’s top counselor’s name all over it – not good!


Ditto searches for clues in Stone Town – and gets in a fight….

Ditto is still in Stone Town, and after defeating Belloq, Ditto has to find Sobaka down by the waterfront and explore Belloq’s barge to look for evidence…  Of course the evidence is being guarded by several Black Tusk Cultists — not a problem for ‘Pyromnacer Power’!    Of course ‘Pyromancer Power’ is no match against ‘Kitten Power’ as Ditto is attacked again mid-quest.

Ditto Loves to Rock N Roll!! Wizard101 July Contest!

So here we are with a fun new July contest, and it’s music themed!!  As you probably know, Wizard101 just added a great new fun feature, musical instruments!!  You can decorate  your house or dorm with these fun instruments and jam!  They’re really fun, even for someone not particularly musically inclined.  (more…)


Ditto Defeats Belloq!

Yes – after his serious defeat at the hands of Belloq, Ditto did some research at Wizard101 Central and the Wizard101 Wiki, and I learned that Belloq cheats!! He will taunt you and hit you with a zero pip Ra spell if he doesn’t take any damage during a round! Once I learned that, I changed my deck a little, adding as many zero cast damage and DOT spells as I could, and then changed my strategy and hired a few helpers. Once I figured that out, Big Bad Belloq didn’t stand a chance!

 


Ditto versus Belloq, Take 1… Know your enemy!

Ditto faces down Belloq on the Waterfront, and is very, very un-prepared. It seems there’s a trick to the Belloq fight – a trick that Ditto did not know… and it did not end well. At all. I haven’t been defeated this quickly in a long time, and found out the hard way there’s a ‘trick’ to this one…

Ditto really doesn’t like Queen Aryanah in Stone Town.

So Queen Aryanah Silvertusk has a headache… and Ditto needs to take care of that before he can help the student trapped in the zoo.  I really don’t like this queen, I have to say…  Ditto has to talk to the queen’s head of security, Hrathi again, and he tells Ditto to go fight the greyhorns making all the ruckus in the streets.  That’s right, I said ruckus…  So Ditto goes and puts the smackdown on some annoying greyhorns.

Of course after Ditto clears all the fire prisms, etc… out of his deck, the greyhorn is assisted by a fire enemy, who throws a firezilla on the first turn!  Anyway – it’s a pretty good fight, With Ditto showing those annoying rhinos who’s the boss….


Ditto goes to the Zoo!! Oh, and there’s a wizard held captive there.

Ditto has finally found Hrathi Irontrunk’s pen and parchment, and returns to get the royal order.  Ditto heads to the Zoological Garden to speak to the evil captive wizard — who ends up being one of the missing students!!  He wasn’t a nasty evil wizard at all, just a poor lost student!  Bugs attacked him and the group, and then didn’t understand that he was a victim — they thought he was an agent of the zebras and kidnapped the prince!!  A frightened prince that they keep in a zoo!  That’s pretty awful, actually…

Ditto ALSO takes a tour of the most amazingly fun zoo ever!!  There’s a full sized Firezilla, and ice cats, and these cure little gobbler thingys!!  I love it — I spent bunch of time exploring and seeing the animals!


Old McDitto Had a Farm… Contest Time!

Well May is here and Ditto has a fresh new contest – this month is all about farming!  That’s right, Ditto has seed packs to give away – these contain random seeds AND Moolinda Wu packs – as well as the BIG prize – the amazing Red Barn Farm House (with additional castle elixir) .  Now this is serious farming – Farmville has nothing on Ditto and the Red Barn Farm House!!

To Save the Spiral, Ditto must recover…. A Pen?

Ditto is once again at the Darjani palace (and finds another game of Shock-A-Lock!) – he has to get the queen’s ring as the royal seal for a royal letter to get him past Rocksteady to interrogate the wizard prisoner. However, the captain of the queen’s guard cannot complete the royal letter, because some bad guys stole his pen and they are too tough for him to fight – so he asks Ditto to go and do it. Yes, you read that right – the big tough war elephant captain of the queen’s guard is sending the student from wizard city against some big tough fire bad guys to recover his pen. His PEN. Seriously – I would just go and buy him a new pen if I could….

Anyway, ditto fights some of the bad guys, and naturally doesn’t find the pen, so there will be lots more fighting and stuff and Ditto will make another video once he gets that done…


Ditto meets the queen in Stone Town

Ditto is back in Stone Town, and after defeating a bunch of bad guys right there in the courtyard of the palace, Ditto finally get sin to see the queen! It seems that the Queen and the resident sof stone town think that the Zebras stole the elephant prince, and now Ditto not only has to find the missing Wizard City students – he apparently has to stop a war! How’s that for an extra credit assignment!

Ditto has to talk to the queen’s guard to try and sort out the situation, and learns that they have a prisoner who is confirming the kidnapping story! Ditto really needs to get to the bottom of this, but the rhino guarding the prisoner – named RockSteady (kinda) – won’t let Ditto investigate with the proper documentation. Seems a bit suspicious to me!!


Ditto is Following the Yellow Arrow to adventure!

So, it’s been a while since Ditto has played Wizard101, and I have pretty much forgotten what I was doing.  Luckily, there are handy yellow arrows to follow that will tell me where to go and what to do.  First, the arrows tell Ditto to talk to the Librarian, Kilman Copperleaf.  Apparently Ditto fought some bad guys and recovered the pages of Kilman’s favorite book. That was nice of me.  Next, the yellow arrow tells Ditto to go defeat bandits in the market to find a purse, so Ditto does that too.  Overall it’s a fun way to get back into the game and remember what we are doing…

Ditto makes it to Stone Town, immediately gets in a fight…

Ditto makes it to Stone Town as an envoy for the Oliphant Queen – but the guard can’t take him to the queen until he fights off some bad guys. I have to say, this is a terrible plan – the guard is afraid to leave his post because of the bad guys are all around, but if he can’t see them then he can leave his post? What if they are hiding, or they just left to get ice cream and they come back while he’s gone? It really is a terrible plan…

Ditto does go through his deck and discusses the best way to fight fire minions, since the Rain of Fire spell does minimal damage on the first hit, which is where the prism conversion kicks in. In a case like this, even though it might take longer to get two Efreet spells out, the damage is much higher due to the prism converting all of the damage to ice.


The Winners of the ‘Where’s Ditto’ Contest!

Here are the winners from Ditto’s ‘Where’s Ditto‘ contest – this was a fun contest to do, and I’ll probably do more of them in the future.  Maybe next time I’ll hide in three locations and you’ll need to find all three, something like that.

For this contest, I was hidden in the School of Tempest in Pigswick Academy in Wysteria – I thought it was a good hiding spot! (more…)


Handyman Ditto fixes the Zafarian Queen!

In the last video Ditto was able to get the steamship boiler back, but the captain can’t fix his ship, so once again we have Handyman Ditto to the rescue!! Ditto heads to the library to find  book about fixing steamships – see, libraries are awesome!  The instructions to fix the boat are really cute.. one of the many fun little touches I love in Wizard101.


Ditto Recovers the boiler for the Jungle Cruise…

Still adventuring in Zafaria, Ditto now needs to get the boiler for the boat so he can go on the jungle cruise and go talk to the elephants… You just can’t make this stuff up, folks. Of course nothing ever goes as planned and Ditto ends up getting into a fight against some fire foes, and doesn’t have a single fire prism – time for some big volcano action! In other news, I have to admit – the T Rex rampaging through the savannah is one of my favorite things ever.


Ditto follows the little yellow arrow in Wizard101

It has been over a week since Ditto was able to log into Wizard 101, and I really didn’t remember what I was doing, so I just followed the little yellow arrow and it led me on all kinds of great adventures! That’s a great feature of Wizard 101 – you can’t really get lost.  Very helpful for a furry orange monster who can be kind of forgetful sometimes.


Ditto’s March Contest – Where’s Ditto?

So Ditto has a brand new contest running for March, with some pretty AMAZING prizes! The contest is very simple – but it could be pretty tricky, too. To enter the contest, look at the screen shot here and tell me where in the Spiral Ditto is – it’s that easy.

Ditto faces Shaka Zebu, greatest living Zebra Warrior!!

Ditto has the magic hatchet and heads to the palace to destroy the evil spirit vine that is corrupting the great baobab within!  He faces Tse Tse Snaketail, who manages to steal the magic shield artifact and then sends the possessed Shaka Zebu and a Carrion Flower warrior to fight Ditto.
The fight goes mostly according to plan, but Shaka Zebu is a fearsome warrior and Ditto needs to call in some extra help in the form of a hired life henchman to help him win the duel. Once Shaka Zebu is subdued, Ditto is able to defeat the evil vine thingy and free Shaka Zebu from Tse Tse Snaketail’s evil spell!
