Ditto gets the ‘Rain of Fire’ Pyromancer spell – Full Walkthrough!
As soon as he hits level 68, Ditto is summoned back to Ravenwood School to learn the amazing new ‘Rain of Fire’ spell from Professor Falmea!
Of course not everything goes as planned, and learning the new spell takes Ditto from Wizard City, to Celestia, to Dragonspire and beyond!!
This is the full end-to-end Walkthrough to get the spell and, at around 22 minutes, is probably Ditto’s longest video ever!
Ditto visits the Tranquil Grove and does Tranquil things.
Ditto heads into the tranquil grove and talks to Queen and Princess AutumnRain – they are so nice. Ditto has lots of quests to turn in to the Princess and gets access to the Star School trainer – hooray!
Then Ditto talks to the Queen and learns that he has to take his magic choppy thing and dislodge the evil vine spirit thingy form the great magic Baobab to save Shaka Zebu.
Finally, Ditto goes wandering about Zamunda helping people and finishing up a bunch side quests before facing the evil in the throne room!
Ditto’s Mount Contest Winners!!
So here they are – the winners of Ditto’s great Mount contest! Ditto asked everyone to write in and tell me what mount they would want to win, out of the list of codes he had, and then I chose winners randomly (using random.org) from all entries – and I got a LOT of entries! So here’s the list of lucky winners!!
Ditto faces Zanga Zebu!
Once he defeats the lesser minions of the dreaded Tse Tse Snaketail, Ditto has to face one of the greatest Zebra Warriors of all time, Zanga Zebu, under the evil control of Tse Tse.
This is an interesting boss fight, mostly because Ditto forgot to equip his boss fighting deck, and has to use a lot of strategy to beat Zanga. Well, if by ‘strategy’ I mean ‘throw as many fire dragons as possible at him’.
Ditto enters the Sacred Tomb of Kings in Zamunda!
After collecting the magic smoke dust or whatever it was, Ditto can enter the sacred temple thingy! Ditto has to light the braziers in the right order to open the big door, then fight his way through several chambers to face down Tse Tse Snaketail and his evil minions – including Ditto’s long-time nemesis, ICE SPIDERS! But even though Ditto makes short work of the minions, the worst is definitely yet to come!
Friendship Festival Contest! Ditto’s Mount Mania! Pick a Mount, Win a Mount!
Here it is, another fun contest for the Wizard101 Friendship Festival!! Ditto has been given prize codes for a bunch of AWESOME mounts, and I am excited to give them away to my fans! So how can you win a mount? Well – just tell me which one you want, and you’ll have a chance to win it!

Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy Feb 1st, 2013
Hello, it is the Ditto with another Video Bloggy thingy!! Ditto has been a busy monster this week, oh boy!! But before me get into all that, I’ll start like I usually do – the Twitter report! (more…)
Ditto meets King Shaka Zebu – and the news isn’t good…
The great mystery of Zafaria is starting to become more clear! Much like Ditto’s previous adventures in Mooshu, Shaka Zebu, the great ruler of Zamunda, is under a terrible spell, tied to some creepy sickly baobab tree!!
Unfortunately, news of the kings illness is spreading quickly, and there are people rioting in the streets!! Ditto must act quickly to quell this civil unrest!
Ditto Investigates Tse Tse’s hut and meets lovely Queen Amahle
Ditto is still in Zamunda (how big is this place?) investigating that nasty Tse Tse guy and finds – get this – black and white paint. Like he was physically painting rhinos to look like zebras. Seriously? This is the worst scheme ever! The good news is that Ditto also levels up – yay!!
So once Ditto finds the paint he has to take the evidence to Queen Amahle AutumnRain – which may be my favorite name in the game so far. It’s a very pretty name!
Ditto in Zamunda – A bucket full of water… Elementals?
Ditto finished showing the water elementals who is boss, having defeated a whole bunch of them. Once he has completed his final battle, he is able to – I kid you not – put the water elementals in a bucket and use them to put out the fire!
I know the water elementals are trying to beat me up and everything, sure, but this just seems cruel and unusual… well, it’s definitely unusual!
Ditto finally completes the quest and heads back to town to see what’s next…
Ditto fights fire with… Water Elementals.
Ditto has to put out a burning watchtower, and the only way to do that is to apparently command some water elementals to put it out. Of course Ditto has to fight them to show them who is boss… A great fight against some tough storm school enemies.
Ditto Talks About his Deck, fights Greyhorns!
A number of people have commented on the size of my deck and the number of cards I carry, so I show off my deck and talk about my strategy. I have a very straightforward strategy, nothing fancy, but it’s effective. For standard street mobs, I rely on Fire Dragon with multiple damage buffs. For boss fights I use a different strategy that adds more buffs and bigger damage (obviously) – I’ll show that off in another video.
I also fight a couple Greyhorn Mercenaries and play my most favorite mini-game, Shock A Lock!!
Ditto’s Pie Contest Winners!!
After judging this Pie contest, Ditto is suddenly very hungry!!! There were so many awesome and yummy looking pies – Ditto has already sent out all the prizes, and here is the list of winners and a gallery of all the yummy winning pie entries! (more…)
Ditto the Handyman fixes another fence…
Once again, the fearless handyman Ditto is called upon for general contracting work deep in the heart of Zafaria. The Greyhorns have been getting in ‘Somehow’, and Ditto discovers a hole in the fence roughly the size of a truck that, for some strange reason, the defender guards did not see. Using his now legendary handyman abilities, Ditto finds some prime lumber and fixes the giant hole in the fence, getting the job done on schedule and for a very reasonable price.
.
I wonder if all this handyman work is just special pyromancer training, like in ‘The Karate Kid’, where Mister Miyagi made Daniel wash his car and paint his fence and all that stuff, but was actually teaching him karate… I’m wondering if my new fire spell requires some sort of vigorous hammering motion to cast…
Ditto’s 500th Video!! 500!! Happy Holidays!!
Ditto’s 500th Video!!
Hi everybody – it is the Ditto. Wow, so here we are – 500 videos. That seems like a lot, doesn’t it? I’m pretty sure it is, yes. I’ve had a lot of suggestions about wacky things to do, from doing a Christmas video to doing a parody of ‘Gangnam Style’, but when I thought about it, I think the most important thing to remember about this milestone is why I reached it – and that is for everyone out there, all of you who follow my blog, and watch my videos, and listen to my silly adventures on Ravenwood Radio or Pieces of Eight Radio. To all the wonderful people who I have met in-game, from people I met and friended at parties to all the wonderful and friendly strangers who helped me get through tough quests or beat tough bosses.
In the nearly three years since my first video I’ve done a LOT here – I’ve played all kinds of great video games, I’ve talked to people about staying safe , I’ve run I can’t remember how many contests, I’ve gone to PAX East and interviewed all kinds of people, like Fred Howard from KingsIsle, I’ve beta tested new games, written for an online gaming magazine, gotten over a thousand twitter followers, I’ve been attacked by Kittens and had a lot of fun with my Fabricated American friends. The most important thing of all, though, is that I’ve made lots of friends with all of you – from people I’ve met online at game parties to the complete strangers who helped me out with tough quests or nasty bosses, everyone I’ve met and talked to and made friends with have been great, and all my my friends and fans and twitter followers are the real reason I keep doing this, and why I love it so much and have so much fun with it!!
So thank you everyone – thank you for being my fans and my friends and for sticking by me and for enjoying and sharing my blog and my videos so much! I’ve got 500 videos done, and with all your support I’m sure I’ll do another 500 before you know it!!
Thank you all and happy, happy holidays to each and every one of you. I couldn’t do it without you all!! Well, I guess I could, but nobody would watch it, so why bother??
New Contest – It’s All About Pie!! Yummy, Delicious Pie!
Ditto has been running lots of contests lately, and I like to keep them interesting, of course. Ditto hates to be boring, after all. Well, I have been having a heck of a time thinking up something new and exciting for this next December contest and asked for ideas on Twitter (OK, I complained I was out of ideas, and the wonderful people on twitter helped me out. I love my Twitter followers) . My favorite suggestion was to come up with pictures of Ditto to color – but Ditto has no idea how to make a line drawing of myself for people to color in a short timeframe, so I”ll have to work on that one a bit more. Instead of coloring Ditto, I was able to come up with the next best thing – PIE!!
Below are two line drawings of Pie – a slice and a full pie – and you can color either one of them in and send it to me at dittocontest@gmail.com. The email should have a subject of ‘Pie Contest‘, and you have to tell me what kind of pie it is, and tell me your wizard name.
You can print the picture out and color it and scan it back in (or take a picture of the picture), or you can digitally color it on the computer – whatever works for you. The end date for this contest is Saturday, December 29th – that’s over a week and a half (because I know lots of people will probably be busy with family stuff during that time).
What are the prizes? Well… everything I have left. Bundles, crowns codes – ‘Everything Must Go!!’ That’s over 25 great prize codes!!
And there you have it – make Ditto a pie and win prizes!! Have fun with it, get creative, and good luck!!

Ditto Uncovers a Conspiracy in Zamunda!
Ditto returns to the slightly scary Tse Tse Snaketail in Zamunda after defeating a bunch of bad guys, and he sends Ditto to round up the troops and strike a mighty blow against the enemy Rhinos and Elephants. However, once Ditto gets to the barracks, things are not at all as they appear…
The zebra defenders have been subdued, and – I’m totally serious here – Rhino warriors have painted themselves in zebra stripes to try and blend in to infiltrate the camp. Amazingly, Ditto does not fall for the ‘rhino disguised as a zebra’ trick, and a mighty duel follows! Pyromancer Powers activate!
Ditto’s Week 2 December Contest Winners!! Great Job Helping!
Ditto here, and I want to say thank you to everyone who entered this contest – Miss Narrator and I were completely overwhelmed by the number of entries and the wonderful, amazing things everyone did to help others. I did this contest to get everyone thinking about helping others, which I think is really important, and all you wonderful wizards out there surpassed my wildest dreams with all the amazing things you did to help others! From selflessly helping new players level or get through long dungeons to writing letters to US servicemen to helping in your communities, the emails and pictures I got for this contest were amazing, and I enjoyed every single one.
In response to the amazing responses I got, I’ll be awarding a few additional prizes for this one. Winners and their stories and pictures are below – this will probably be a really long post…
Ditto has to Prove Himself to Tik Tik Snaketail…
Ditto meets Tik Tik SnakeTail in Zamunda and, even though the legend of Ditto is apparently awesome and amazing, Ditto has to ‘prove himself’ once again by defeating a bunch of bad guys (20 of them!) – sometimes I think these guys are using Ditto to clean up the streets so they don’t have to pay police or something…
Ditto’s Week 2 Wizard101 Contest – Helping Others!
It took Ditto a while to come up with his Week 2 contest, and since we’re in the middle of what Ditto likes to consider ‘The Giving Season’, I want to encourage my fans and readers to help others – and give you big prizes for doing so!! Week 2 is all about helping out others, either in-game or in real life.
So how do you enter? Well, first you need to help someone. That could be helping someone with a quest or assisting a new player in-game, or it could be helping someone in real life to rake leaves, shovel snow, read a book to a younger sibling, put away the dishes… there are many options, the main point is that you’re helping out and doing something nice for someone. (more…)
Ditto’s Week 1 December Contest winners!!
Ditto’s contest this week asked players to tell me which of Ditto’s awesome prizes they wanted to win, and why! Ditto got a LOT of great answers, and out of all the qualified entries, did a random drawing for each winner. Here are all the winners, with their entries – enjoy!
Ditto is helping out in Zamunda, stacking shields and ‘training’ defenders
So once Ditto took care of helping out in the Savanna, Ditto started helping out in Zamunda.
Ditto collected a bunch of cool looking shields (After a bunch of fights…) , and then Ditto had to go round up some zebra defender guys and ‘train’ them. Of course training them pretty much means putting a good old-fashioned pyromancer beat-down on them… After a good Fire Dragon, they see the error of their ways…
Ditto faces Amara Blackmane in the Savanna.
After finding the Staff of Solomon for Indigo Montoya Whitestripes, Ditto is sent to rescue Indigo’s friend from Amara Blackmane, a nasty bandit type lion who just happens to be a rank eleven fire boss! Yikes! Ditto has everything under control, of course – but decides to hire a life henchman… just in case.
Of course during the fight, Carl was so caught up in the action, he missed the fact that the camera stopped recording for a couple minutes, so there’s a bit of a gap in the middle… but it’s still a great fight and Ditto is finally victorious, defeating the boss and saving Indigo’s friend, gaining greater knowledge of magic (a training point) in the process…
