KingsIsle Hits Home-Run with the Addictive Mega Snack Pack

I haven't even used one of these new packs on my pet yet, and I already know I'm going to have to buy one. JUST one pack...

That's what I'll be saying when I've got Lord Zeus to Epic off of Mega Snack Packs. *sigh*

Let me tell you, KingsIsle was really smart as a business with this one. They make the system to level your pet incredibly slow, and then just when the community is screaming for a solution, they release a (for lack of a better word) cheat that lets you level your pet with incredible ease. Really smart on their part. Especially since these things cost 5 bucks a pop.

Anyway, that's just my take on the Mega Snack Pack. I'll be getting some Crowns pretty soon and Lord Zeus is going to get to Ancient... Hey, maybe if I spend 10 more bucks I'll get Lord Zeus to Epic... Then again, that's exactly what KingsIsle wants me to think...

Before I sign off, let me apologize for not being around to post for about 3 days. My weekend has been incredibly busy. This is my last full week of school, and then I have 3 days until summer. My school's out on the 16th, so I'll be coming to that Ravenwood Radio episode :) Stephen knows how excited I am, don't you, Steve? Maybe little Dustin can do a segment on all the awesome stuff we might get during this summer because I'm SO EXCITED!?!? Just kidding...

Hybrids Have Arrived

In the latest update to the Test Realm, KingsIsle has been very gracious and added a system where the Level 48 Spell Quest Pets will manifest their appearance in the next generation. Excellent!

I'm not going to go through all of the information here on how it works, because Elijah DeathShard and his pals explained it so well over on this thread on Wizard 101 Central. We've really got to thank you, Mr. DeathShard, for collaborating with the entire community and putting together this excellent guide for everyone to use when making awesome hybrid pets!

There's just one thing that DeathShard might want to explain a little better in his guide. Here is what you see when you get down to Orthrus in the guide:

Alright, so it says "Orthrus with...". And then lists all the Level 48 Pets that have been tested yet. For example, here is says "Hydra-". Then whatever comes after that is what the description of the hatched pet is. Hydra + Orthrus = Rockythrus, in other terms.

Excellent guide! And the reason I haven't posted for the past few days is because I was away on a family retreat bit with my family. Since the day isn't close to over, I'm going to listen to the 16th Ravenwood Radio and then hopefully (Haley MoonCatcher beat me to the computer when we got home; she's fast learning the ways of Wizard 101 :P) get some "hybriding" time on the Test Realm, etc.

May 2010 Ravenwood Bulletin Is Out!

Well folks, if you didn't know, the May edition of the praised Ravenwood Bulletin is available TODAY!

Yes, today. And all you have to do is click here!

This edition is really good. Guess who's "hosting" it this month?

Our good old buddy from the Pet Update on the Test Realm... the guy who loves alliteration with P's?

Anyway, this Ravenwood Bulletin is a testament to just how great the Wizard 101 community is. Within... what is it now... 3 weeks after Autumn DuskHunter's dramatic return (see Homework in a Graveyard blog in our Blogroll/Other-W101-Blogs-List) to the Spiral, KingsIsle addresses it in a Ravenwood Bulletin.

Pretty big.

Enjoy reading!

P.S. Dang, D. MoonCatcher sounds so cool. Lookin' forward to WandCast 5!
