Ditto versus General Greystone…

Once again deep in the heart of Dragonspyre, I need to defeat ‘General Greystone’ and his Irate Banshee minion. Wonder what makes her so irate? Maybe it’s just a Dragonspyre thing…
The duel went well overall – I took out the Irate Banshee first, with a ‘monstrous’ buffed Helephant, and then focused on the General himself. For the general my winning hit was 4201 damage – not bad!
With the higher health levels in Dragonspyre I find that I’m not using Meteor Strike much at all, mostly using helephants and damage buffs against my opponents.
I do want to try to find an ice trap spell, then I can cast ice trap, fire prism, fire trap and increase damage even more.

The Tale of Tomar and Kimerith, a Happy Reunion

The grand finale of the tale of Tomar the dragonrider and his old friend Kimerith.  After a bit of a blooper (Ditto did not pay attention to the quest details, oops…) Kimerith the Dragon is reunited with his old crazy shut-in friend Tomar.  It’s really a touching scene… I feel all happy now 🙂

The Destiny Project, Week 1

So I’m going to try and report on Destiny HexCrafter every Friday, because hey, it’s Friday.

As a quick recap, I am playing a new character in Wizard 101, Destiny, who will not use anything but the starter deck, wand, and robes she was given upon entering Ravenwood, going through the game with only starter equipment.  It’s an interesting challenge and really makes you think about the game in a whole new way and I’m already asking questions like ‘How am I going to win boss fights using only 14 cards and 5 treasure cards??’

The Tale of Tomar and Kimerith – When it Reigns it Pours

I’m still happily helping Tomar and his dragon friend Kimerith in Dragonspyre.  Kimerith wants his old reigns, I guess for old time’s sake, but of course, they have been taken by a nasty bad guy and furry little Ditto has to lend a hand.

Am I the only person disappointed by ‘The Hoarder’? I was hoping for a tower full of piles of junk, old broken wands, and stacks of old books from wall to wall, maybe a bunch of small dragons hiding in the corners or sleeping on top of stacks of stuff?  A simple landscape boss was a little underwhelming – though a great fight…
