Jewel update live on UK server

Enhance Your Gear With Jewels! Players can now add jewels to many of their Amulets, Athames, Rings and Decks! Wizards level 15 and above who have completed the crafting quest “The Razor’s Edge” will need to visit Eloise Merryweather in the Wizard City Commons to take on the quest “Digging Into a New Challenge.” Katherine Rockhammer, in her newly opened shop in the Wizard City Shopping District, will then teach you the ways of Jewel Socketing. You will notice a new button at the bottom of the screen when viewing your Amulets, Athames, Rings and Decks. Select the item you would like to socket and click “Add Jewels.” This will then open the Jewel Socketing screen that will allow you to modify your item. Archytas in Celestia also sells perfect gems. Sockets Items may have up to four sockets, each in one of four shapes: Square, Triangle, Circle or Tear. To socket a Jewel, it must match the shape of the available socket. Select the Jewel you would like to place in the socket and click “Affix.” This will add the Jewel to the item and give the corresponding stat increase associated with the Jewel. Each Jewel has a minimum level requirement and can only be used by Wizards that level or above. Socket Wrenches Some sockets on items may be locked, indicated by a lock icon. These can be unlocked by using Crowns or a Socket Wrench. Socket Wrenches are obtained by defeating bosses throughout the Spiral and come in 5 different types: Novice, Adept, Expert, Master and Artisan. Socket Wrenches can be placed on the walls of your house for display. Jewel Each Jewel can only be placed in a socket once. If you decide later that you’d like to remove the jewel, it will be destroyed. To remove a socketed Jewel, click on the name of the Jewel and choose “Shatter” in the Jewel Socketing window. Once a Jewel has been shattered from a socket, you can place a new Jewel in the empty socket and continually improve your favorite items! Jewel Crafting Jewels can be purchased from vendors, found as rewards from defeating creatures, opening chests, fishing, gardening, or crafted. Jewel recipes can be purchased from vendors throughout the Spiral including: Katherine Rockhammer and Eudora Tangletree in Wizard City, Wul’yahm in Krokotopia, Felicia Worthington in Marleybone, Toshio in Mooshu, Bathazar Dragonthorn in Dragonspyre, Aegeus in Celestia, Marwa Jadetusk in Zafaria, Shane Macgobhann in Avalon, Yaxche in Azteca and Wozina the Edgecutter in Khrysalis. Each Jewel recipe will require a Metal, which you can receive as rewards, a Gem, which you can find or purchase from a vendor, and a Treasure Card. To craft Jewels, you will need to use a Jewel Crafting Station. Crafting Jewels, however, is unlike crafting other items. There is an element of randomness that will affect the final product’s outcome each time. You can craft using the same recipe several times and receive a different result each time! Some rules to note with relation to Jewels and socketed items: Jewels are stored in a new page of your backpack which holds a maximum of 100 Jewels. Selling items with socketed Jewels at the Bazaar will destroy the Jewels within the item. You cannot put jewels into an item that you cannot equip. Jewels can be placed into the shared bank. Items with socketed Jewels cannot be placed in the shared bank. New One-Shot Gauntlets Baddle of the Bands King Thermidor’s reign as King of Rock in the Spiral has been challenged. His former bandmate, Cyn De Lobster wants to seize the throne by having a Baddle of the Bands! Are you the back-up Wizard to help? Tanglewood Terror Mrs. Dowager is in a sticky situation. Something sinister has possessed the vines of Wysteria and turned them against everyone. Worst of all, they’ve taken over using terrible puns! Oh my gourdness! These two new one-shot gauntlets are available in the Crown Shop, and if you thought our Hoard Packs were cool, you’ll love these new adventures! One-shot gauntlets are unique in that they are like a hybrid between Hoard Packs and Housing Gauntlets with some special rules and some considerations on buying them: Like a Hoard Pack, one-shot gauntlets will provide you and three others with a chance at new unique gear, weapons, pets, and a mount. Better than a Hoard Pack, one-shot gauntlets provide you and your guests with adventure and experience (per normal dungeon rules) on the way to the boss. Better than Housing Gauntlets, you can set the difficulty of the adventure that you’d like to undertake before you enter. Just click on the gauntlet housing item while in "Place Object" and click the star icon to select level. The sigil only activates once, and only when the owner starts the adventure. You may use dungeon recall if needed, but be sure to allow yourself time to finish the adventure as the sigil only lights once. Even better, when your adventure is over, you’ll also be left with a cool housing item! If you’d rather not have the housing item, we hear the item is such a tasty treat, you can even feed it to your hungry pets. Cast a Line in Lava! Are you ready to fish for the deadliest catch? Visit Lucky Hookline in the Wizard City Commons if you are ready to up your Fishing game. He will introduce you to his friend Yuri Smokesnare in Dragonspyre who will teach you the ways of fishing in lava, which presents a unique set of challenges. Sentinels are a new tricky type of fish that are out to keep their fellow fishy friends from being caught. You’ll need to use all of the tools at your disposal to outwit the Sentinels! New Fishing spells are available including: Rank 3 Lures for all schools, Winnow spells that scare away all fish except those of a single school, Reveal spells to help you find those Whoppers and Small Fries, and a special spell to help you get rid of those tricky Sentinels. Visit Yuri Smokesnare in the Atheneum and Timor Flamecaster in the Labyrinth to learn these new spells. Yuri Smokesnare in Dragonspyre also has several Lava Aquarium recipes for sale! The Fishing spells window now has a Favorites tab so you have easy access to the spells you use the most. Spells are automatically added to Favorites as you use them, or you can right click to add or remove a spell from your Favorites. You can disable the Spell Favorites option in the Advanced Gameplay Options window. Press the “V” hotkey to open the Fish Basket. The Pharoahmari fish will no longer shy away from players who come near it while in an aquarium. The Fishing level and energy window will remain visible while casting Fishing spells. The viewing angle has been adjusted to help you see your lure better when fishing high above ponds. The badge “Fisher King” is renamed “Fisher Queen” if the character is a girl. Broom will be deactivated while Fishing. Join a Team Visit the new Join a Team kiosk in Wizard City Olde Town to find a group for adventures! It will display a list of all teams that are waiting for additional members. Only the dungeons and worlds that your Wizard already has access to will be listed. Press the “Refresh” button at the bottom right to update the list and look for additional teams. Players are no longer frozen in place while waiting for Team Up! Click on the Team Up button in the upper right of your screen to view the Team Up window while waiting for players to join. In addition, a sound effect is now played whenever a player joins or leaves your Team Up team. If you leave an incomplete dungeon after using Team Up, you will have to wait 10 minutes before you can Team Up or use the Join a Team kiosk again. In major dungeons such as Sunken City or Darkmoor, only the first player to abandon their team will receive the 10 minute timer. This timer is removed once the major dungeon is completed. In minor dungeons, such as those with only one battle, the penalty is removed after a single battle. When you leave a dungeon after using the Join a Team kiosk, you will be returned to Olde Town. Players are prevented from playing mini-games while waiting in a queue for Team Up! Two new badges for helping players using Join a Team have been added. New Skeleton Key Bosses Three new skeleton key bosses have been added throughout the Spiral. Defeat these denizens in Cave of Solitude in Mooshu, the Crystal Caves of Avalon and Darkmoor for new challenges and some epic rewards! You will notice that zones which include a skeleton key boss have a new sigil appearance. Quests Many quests in Krokotopia, Grizzleheim, Marleybone, Mooshu and Dragonspyre have had their defeat and/or collect requirements reduced! Additional Teleporters have been added to Marleybone, Grizzleheim and Dragonspyre. Fixed an issue that caused Quest Helper to disappear for portions of the quest “Induction Then Destruction.” The cage holding Skullin will properly open when you rescue him for the quest “Bustin’ Loose.” The Crazed Forest Spirit will no longer reappear after being defeated during the quest “Forest Foray.” The quest “Second Serving” will correctly list Koto’s location as Koto’s Dojo.

Fixed an issue that caused shadow pips to not be used after casting a Shadow-Enhanced spell when the player had been hit with Mana Burn on the same turn. Potent Trap can be used with Fire From Above. The Storm Cat Treasure Card is now a 1 Pip spell. Treasure Cards A trove of Treasure Cards have been re-distributed throughout the Treasure Card vendors in the Spiral! Treasure Cards at the vendors throughout the Spiral should be much more useful to you in that particular world. Wizard City and Krokotopia focus on damage and protection, and therefore contain mostly damage spells and shields. Harold Argleston & Zan'ne respectively. The Archivist in Celestia introduces Blades, Prisms, Traps & Manipulations to the mix, all of which are a little more advanced dynamics that players will need in this challenging world. Celestia also brings in some more damage spells, mutates and the fun polymorphs! Kiliman CopperLeaf in Zafaria brings in Globals, Minions and Dispels. Francis Lux in Avalon features Mega Manipulations and Spears. Lamat in Azteca is all about Mass Prisms and Minion manipulation spells, with a dash of higher level spells. Once you unlock Una MoonDancer in Khrysalis, this Treasure Card vendor is your one-stop shop for everything you should need for this challenging world.

Click on an item while visiting another player’s house to learn where to find that item. Items currently available in the Crowns Shop can be purchased directly from this screen! Players will no longer receive an error message about moving housing objects when pressing “Z” or “K” during a housing game. Additional phrases have been added to housing signs. Teleporters will no longer stack in the Place Object in housing window, so that players can better tell them apart when placing multiples of the same color.

Fixed an issue that prevented items from being removed from some of the walls in the Sunken Palace. Fixed an issue that prevented the Banner of Apollo from being removed from walls. Fixed an issue that caused some mannequins to become No Auction. Gardening The Crown Shop has new planters available that are large enough to hold up to 3 plants! The Gardening spells window now has a Favorites tab so you have easy access to the spells you use the most. Spells are automatically added to Favorites as you use them, or you can right click to add or remove a spell from your Favorites. You can disable the Spell Favorites option in the Advanced Gameplay Options window. Pets The Ninja Piggle is now correctly displayed as a Death school pet. The Red Panda pet now has some bamboo to chew on. An Equip/Unequip Pet button has been added to the bottom center of the Pets page of the Spellbook.

USA - new pets obtained by mixing

Hello, Today I would like we to talk about 2 pets. You can get them by mixing or at least that are the rumors.

First pet is hybrid per and it is confirmed it can be obtained by mixing. The pet is dragonfly. You can obtain dragonfly by mixing bumble bee and armor dragon or bumble bee and defender dragon. Of course you can hatch with the hybrid pet too. The dragonfly pet is life school pet and gives guiding light card at baby, live trap card at adult and life scarab card at epic. Second pet is Winged Catastrophe. This pet is first generation pet, death school. The rumor is that you can obtain the pet by mixing meow wing and black cat, but it is very hard to get it. The other source is Harrowing Nightmare Pack. This pack was introduced by KingsIsle last year (2014) for first time. The pack is Halloween pack. The pet will be in Harrowing Nightmare Pack during Halloween 2015 at USA server. So this year the players from USA server can try them luck to obtain this little cute pet.

If I get information about other pets obtained by mixing I will update the thread. Have fun!
