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.  Read the rest of this page »

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 the Final Quest for Gunn’s Tomb!

Ditto and his crew have reached Bounty Island and have finally found Gunn’s tomb!  Now Ditto needs to prove his mettle as a pirate and sailor by completing all of Gunn’s tasks to unlock the tomb!  What happens when Ditto completes these tricky tests of skill?  It’s a surprise!!

This is my favorite quest so far in Pirate101 – it’s cute, it’s clever, and completely makes sense relative to the storyline.  The results of all of my preparations with the cannon and the rope are great, too!  I loved this quest.

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…
