Minecraft

Yes I know I started this blog to be a Wizard101 themed blog but..........since I do play other games why not blog about them also.

Several years ago I tried Minecraft and really didn't care for it.  Well a friend talked me into trying it again recently and I have to admit, with all the updates, mods and texture packs, it has gotten a lot better. :-)

And yes, now I am hooked.  Not so much on the actual lets go out and kill things and then kill everything and get to the Ender Dragon., but with the creativity part of the game. 
As you may know, I love to decorate homes in Wizard101, well with Minecraft it gives me the ability to build homes, cities and anything my mind can dream up, from the ground up all on my own. 

Here are some examples of what you can do.  (No none of these are mine. But I am learning and will post what I am doing on the actual Minecraft page of this blog.)

Amazing huh?  So yeah I am going to make a page here for Minecraft so I can post my creations.

The Helephant Tower

For those of you who don't know what The Helephant Tower is, let me explain. 

Once you finish the new world 'Wysteria' and you are a level 60.  When you first get there you come face to face with 4 enemies.  Taurus, a myth boss, with 17,110 hp ( health points), Ervin, a death boss, with 16,130 hp, and he uses Levy btw, and 2 other minions, both balance with 2,625 hp.  And yes they cheat.  :-)  Did you expect them NOT to?!?!?!


The next few fights are really not bad at all, until you face Lyon, a storm boss, who summons a minion every round, all myth, every round and when all 3 minions are with him he will use Blizzard as well as his own attack.  Not fun at all.  And yes, the minions do use earthquake.  So be prepared.


Needless to say if you do die, you can flee, use potion and then run back.  Just make sure when you go back in

Wizard Homes

One of the things I love doing while playing Wizard101, besides questing, farming, collecting and haning out with good friends is decorating my houses.

I have maximum houses on all wizards and two extra on storm, thanks to the housing elixirs that came with the Sultans Palace and the Massive Fantasy Palace.  So I will be adding videos and pictures of my homes, as well as videos and pictures of friends and various happenings from around the spiral on my Pictures and Video Page.  So head on over and check them out.

Hello

Let me start off by introducing myself.



My name is Gabrielle, Gabby to family and friends, both in and out of the Spiral. 
I have several wizards but Storm is my main so she is the one who will be using
this blog the most. Oh you will hear about adventures with the others as well.  There
is always something going on in the spiral worthy of reporting.

What?!?!  Could it be you, dear reader, do not know what the Spiral is?  Well
let me tell you about it.  It is a magical place where you can become a wonderful
all powerful wizard.  You can choose from one of  seven schools. 

The Spirital Schools are:  

• Death
• Life
• Myth

The Elemental Schools are:

• Storm
• Ice
• Fire

Then There is
Balance  (not to be underestimated, it contains a little of both spirital and elemental qualities)

This is just the tip of the ice berg.  There is much more about the spiral, which you will learn here
in my blog.  But if this has peaked your intrest head on over to Wizard101 and sign up.  Never know
we might run into each other.

My friend code for Wizard101  is  29870-04124-97083-63887 
Enter it when you sign up for Wizard101 and I will be your first friend and you will recieve a unique
