#wintertusk

[baeoh22]

Chat are you supposed to do Wintertusk AFTER sections of arc 2 🧍cause I was doing it while going through Dragonspyre, granted I was level 52 going through Dragonspyre but still, was I not supposed to do that? Is that why Wintertusk felt kind of hard? IS IT NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT HARD?? I DONT KNOW

On the opposite note though Malistaire was almost embarrassingly easy and I don’t know if that’s just because I’m 21 years old or if I was level 54 for that fight (life wizard)

Not only is the ice school bullshit to play, fighting against ice mobs (especially lvl 50-69) is bullshit too.

All of these mfers have that dumb fucking 4 pip Ice Kraken and 5 pip Icezilla which is literally just a reskinned Storm Kraken, and Stormzilla. Like literally, same damage and everything.

So we have ice mobs (which ya know is supposed to be the FUCKING TANK SCHOOL) HITTING LIKE STORMS WHILE HAVING THE HIGHEST HEALTH, THE BEST SHIELD IN THE GAME, AND STUNS!

WHY TF do the ice mobs have reskinned Storm Krakens, and Stormzillas??? Ice was ALREADY annoying to beat, thats why its the tank school!!!

This was the ONLY school where I had to put ice defense jewels on my wizard because EVERY. SINGLE. ICE BOSS was kicking my ass!!!

Ice mobs were absolutely cakewalking my wizard!!! I'm unable to hit because i'm stunned, then BARELY able to hit because they're shielded, and then getting my ass blown tf up with reskinned Storm spells!

One of my favorite things in Wizard101 is how storylines that were once released across multiple updates are now available all at once. The professors tell you to relax and take a well-earned rest, but as soon as you walk out the door, a bubble appears to direct you to the next world-threatening struggle.

When I finished Grizzleheim on my Ice wizard a couple of months ago (just before starting Wintertusk), Ambrose called me even before I had stepped outside. I thought it was so silly that I decided to make a comic out of it! C:

[image ID: a four-panel comic with digitally drawn characters and with backgrounds taken directly from Wizard101 (using photomancy) then edited slightly to fit each image. In the first panel, an anthropomorphic polar bear (the king of Grizzleheim, Valgard Goldenblade), says, "Thank you, Young Wizard, for saving Grizzleheim." There are two yellow boxes that read, "BZZT!" to signal a phone buzzing. The wizard, the back of whose hat you can see in the bottom right corner, says, "Hang on, I better take this..." In the second panel, the same wizard (wearing gear from a holiday pack and wielding a Sky Iron Hasta) says, "Hello?" It's Merle Ambrose! In the same type of yellow box as before, the text reads, "Young Wizard! Terrible news! Grizzleheim is in grave danger! You must go there at once!" (A disembodied Merle Ambrose head drawn in yellow and orange signifies that he is the one speaking.) The third panel is a close-up of the Ice wizard's face. Her glasses have glazed over menacingly, and her upbeat smile has turned into a disapproving straight line. The speech bubble next to her features a lone ellipses. The fourth panel is a similar close-up of the king. His expression has fallen. His eyes are comically blank, and there's a large bead of sweat dripping down one side of his face. His speech bubble features a matching ellipses. End image ID.]

My favorite areas of each world :)

These are based purely on visuals and not story 

Wizard City- Shopping District/ Elik’s Edge 

I just love Elik’s edge so much because i love the little Bart root and how it has it’s own little name in the shopping district, i just think it’s super cute and kinda underrated 

Krokatopia-  Upper Zigazag and Kemmbaalung Village 

I know this is kinda cheating because it’s not part of OG Krok but it’s so much prettier than anything old krok has going on, Frozen Lake is nice too but this one is so mm

This too even tho it’s technically part of Mooshu lololol

Marleybone- Barkingham Palace 

It’s a shame that this isn’t a part of Marylebone's main questline because good gosh it’s so pretty I love the walkway up to it and the fountains and the blimp it’s just so pretty and it reminds me of Pirate 

Mooshu- Jade Palace 

Jade Palace’s main area/ garden is the prettiest part of Wiz Mooshu and i really hope that Mooshu gets a visual update soon because look at Pirate Mooshu, like it still holds up and then Wiz Mooshu is so 

Wysteria- Arena Halls 

I do just think this area is so cute, like all of it not specifically this screencap but the whole arena is so nice and it reminds me of Valencia and i sob and scream i miss pirate so much 

Dragonspyre- Dragon’s roost

I LOVE SEEING THE DRAGON SO CLOSE i just think the mountain and the steep incline up to the end of arc one is so cool but honestly all of Dragonspyre popped off, for sure the best and most diverse looking arc 1 world 

Grizzleheim- Hrundle Fjord 

I think other than Northgaurd this is the prettiest part of Grizzleheim, i see water and rocks and lose my mind but honestly this part is so cute 

Wintertusk- Grandmother Raven’s perch 

GRANDMA!!!!!!!!! i just love the animation that plays before this and she has such a good design, I like other parts of  Wintertusk but  she's just so cute look at her its mom! 

Celestia-  District of Stars 

I remember going her on my death and looking around being like “I don't remember Celestia being pretty?” I just think that all the shapes are neat 

Zafaria -  Boabab crown

I love this tree gosh darn it, it’s just so cool it's a giant treehouse! 

Avalon- Crystal Caves and Lake Shore 

Avalon is one of those worlds where I cant really tell because Crystal Caves are so cool and the story we’re told in there is so MMMMM but also look at all the pretty colors of Lake Shore! 

Azteca- Floating Mountains 

My photography here is so bad but the floating mountains are pretty cool but in all honesty all of Azteca is really pretty it’s just everything about it is so 😐

Khrysalis- Moon Cliffs

I love Moon cliffs so much but again Khrys is one of those worlds where all of it is so MMMMMMMMMMMMMM to look at 

Polaris- River of Frozen Tears 

LOOK AT HOW PRETTY, i love the northern lights, i love the mountains, i love the snow, i love the Raven i love all of it and the ice makes me go zoom! \

Arcanum- Docking area 

I think this is a pretty obvious choice from me because of me being an Empyrea stan but also its just so darn perty and grand like its such a good area 

Mirage- Eerem Palace 

This place is gorgeous, i hated it here, but at least my eyes were happy, like look at the SKYYYEHAYHH

Empyrea <3- Aero Planes 

My windows95 baby, i love her so much, again the skybox is so good and Empyrea again is one of  those worlds where all of it is so delicious to look at but I just love how peaceful this area is 

Karamel- Von Trap Estate 

I know we shit on Karamel because it looks like Roblox but legit look at this, its SO PRETTYYYYAYHAAHAHHA 

Lemuria- Heap

I haven’t played through Lemuria yet but Heap is genuinely one of the coolest looking areas in all of Wizard101

Grizzleheim ✨Aesthetic✨

picture this: you’re front row at a nick jonas concert. in between songs, you slide a note onto the stage. nick jonas comes over, picks up the note, reads it. he looks you dead in the eyes and nods, a silent but profound understanding. he runs to tell his backup performers something you can’t quite catch. he returns to his mic, tells the crowd that he’s going to play a request, something not on the setlist, something a little different. everyone goes nuts. what could it be? a new single?? a song off of an unreleased album??? but you know better. 

and seconds later, you hear it. the unmistakable drumbeats of the hrundle fjord main theme.

[theravenwoodbulletin]

Forget Icarus, hubris is breezing through Vestrilund, Sudrilund and Nordrilund’s main questlines in under an hour with the help of a Fire Wizard and thinking you can finish Wintertusk in less than an hour because you’re at the last dungeon and its always hard finding people to quest with so you might as well stick with this one guy.

Then you spend a grueling three hours battling through Nastrond, the first part agonizing because as an Ice Main because you’re basically useless and burning through two full sets of potions because your health takes a hit every battle and there’s not enough mana and health wisps in the dungeon to heal after the battles, and by the time the dungeon is over it’s 4 in the morning, you’re exhausted and you’re happy to see those giants die.
