Item of the day: Grumpy Snowman

When this 'Item' dropped for me today, I had an epiphany: the Loot Drop System (LDS; "I think he did a little too much LDS.") is toying with me. It refuses to give me any equipment I can use and then turns around and tosses RARE pets at me left and right. Oh, Well.

BTW: I want this so much. If there's a housing item for this, I want it. And if there isn't, there needs to be, cause I still want it.

Item of The Day: Black Spider

I was working my way through Knight's Court today and when I got to the Black Widow, she gave up one of her babies. I have to say this is easily the cutest and most terrifying thing I've seen in game to date. I'm afraid that if I look at it wrong, it's going to leap out of my monitor and eat my face, in the cutest way possible of course.

Marleybone Big House Walkthrough

I promised you guys a walk through of my new house and here it is.
Not: I'm not done decorating, so really this is just a walk through of the island.

This picture was taken from the Spiral Door and shows most of the island.

Looking towards the greenhouse.

Looking towards the Main House.

Greenhouse and lawn at the top of the stairs.

Between the Main House and Greenhouse is an area that seems custom made for statuary.

There's a path under the bridges that runs the length of the island.

At the foot of the bridge leading to the Main House.

Behind the house there's a bit of open space for anything you may want.

Here's the entryway. Not much to say.

The second floor, plenty of open space.

Here's the entrance to the 'secret' room.

And here's the 'secret' room with all my looted Krokotopian artifacts.

The third floor, not as much room as the second floor but still plenty of room.

And last but not least the walkway leading from the third floor to the greenhouse.

New house

I took the plunge and splurged for the big Marleybone house and all I can say is "Squeee!" It's really big and has plenty of nooks and crannies to poke around in. Expect a walk through posted on Monday.

Cause for Celebration

After spending all week avoiding Marleybone because of how much harder it was then Krokotopia, everything just fell into place today: I reached lvl 30; I got my Judgement spell; I got a new hat and staff; I finished Chelsea Court and soloed the Ironworks.

Friendly: I'm afraid the person who told you that Pioneer Dragons give a Balanceblade was wrong. They give a DragonBlade.

Item(s) of the Day: Robes

I haven't gotten any housing items that really stand out lately, but I did get a couple of nice looking robes from trash while struggling through Hyde Park.

Vestment of Tragedy (Myth robe)

Distressing Garment (Death robe)

Item(s) of the Day: Mailbox and Letter

Today's items come from the Postal series of quests in Marleybone. The mailbox looks exactly like the ones you see on the street in Regent's Square, except you can't stuff them full of mail. The letter is a nice little touch. I haven't decided where it'll end up going but for now it'll live on the ground by the mailbox.

BTW: after defeating Lady Blackhope multiple times, I finally got the Life Stone Pedestal and the Unicorn Statue. Unfortunately the statue doesn't want to sit on the pedestal, oh well. Once I get Rattlebone's feet, I'll be done with Unicorn Way.
