Castle Blocks - Part 1 - Crafting with Savvy

     

      In previous articles I have mentioned castle blocks, at first I wasn't sure about them. The possibilities are really cool but they seem to lack the personality that I was getting from using the tablet/marker combo. However, I decided that it was unfair to judge the newest items without giving them a chance first. Most of the recipes are fairly cheap and mainly use reagents that are easily accessible, which is nice. The pieces fit together with ease where as the markers had to be arranged in a certain way to form an extra room. Unfortunately the walls can not be placed at a diagonal and there are only two different styles.

Introduction to Krokotopia Crafted Clothes - Myth Clothes

     One of our residents at the Castle of Crafts is a tiny little Ice wizard. As her farming locations are understandably limited, she often finds herself lacking gold for trips to the bazaar to buy better clothing. I was already beyond the Grizzleheim Wintertusk outfits by the time that I realized the value of crafted outfits, so decided to take a look at some of the outfits available for the little wizards.

Crafting with Savvy - Kitchen Items

     Today I’m going to discuss kitchen items; I mean we all have to eat right? We do eat eventually, right? Well, even if we don’t it will make for a nice place to craft pet snacks anyway. Besides, a house is just not complete without a kitchen. The recipes for almost everything you could want in a kitchen can be bought from the big ‘ol teddy bear, Tarold Wayfinder in Northgaurd, Grizzleheim. He sells recipes from kitchen cabinets to gold place settings.

Floating Gardens - Gardening for Reagents Part 2

     Have you ever visited someone's home and run across a floating garden? You can actually float gardening plots and then plant on them which enables you to plant the equivolent of two or three large areas of plants in only one area - using only one gardening spell to care for all the layers.

Crafting with Savvy - Intro

     

As you may be able to guess by Savvy’s Attic holding the housing items, I love to decorate. Starting with an empty property and filling it with all sorts of things until it looks perfect, looks as though you actually live there instead of it just being storage, adding personality. The Spiral only offers so many styles of houses, so a lot of people end up having the same type. However if you've ever visited the different castles posted with Myrella Windspar you may have noticed that it all depends on what you decorate your house with that makes it home. In this series I’m going to point out some of the many wonderful housing items that you can craft so that you may also know the joy and sense of accomplishment of a fully decorated house.

King Parsley - Gardening for Reagents Part 1

     Gardening and crafting can go hand in hand as many reagents can be easily harvested from plants every day, or even several times a day depending on the plant. Today I will discuss one of my favorite plants that I grow primarily for reagents.

King Parsley

     One word: Amber. I know rumor has it that Professor Greyrose has let slip that the White Tiger Lily is THE best gardening source for amber. While it MAY be true that you have a better probability of amber drops with the White Tiger Lily, I have found that what this plant does not drop is more seeds. Sometimes you can find them in the bazaar, sometimes you can actually get them dropped from boss fights, but for me personally I would rather grow King Parsley. Especially when you figure in the fact that White Tiger Lily can have explosive gnats (rank 4 pests) which takes way too much of my energy to combat. On the other hand, King Parsley plants only get ghoulish wisps at the worst. 15 energy for a pest zapper and I'm pest free for 48 hours!

Updates

     Recently Wizard101 had a few updates introducing new craftable items including: teleport tapestries, castle blocks and a few other items. In turn, that added to the items that needed to be entered into the website's database, and caused others that had already been added to be edited. I am proud to say that I am all caught up and all of the craftable housing items have finally been added! Now on to the next set of items!
