A Tour of Wysteria

A Picture Expedition is about to commence, you ready young wizard?
More After the Jump.

Test Realm Open!


Welcome to Wysteria


Wysteria was once a trade post and pleasant enough small town in the Wizard City cluster, not too far away but of little consequence in the overall scheme of things, until a magical incident occurred that caused a crawling vine to grow and completely overrun the town.

Players who are level 25 or higher should speak to Merle Ambrose in his tower. He will offer you the quest "To the Registrar".

Pigswick Academy; Pigswick Academy is located at the heart of Wysteria and is a rival school to Ravenwood.

Inside the walls of this city a very special Magic tournament is about to take place and in your journey to solve the mystery involving the theft of an important school treasure it will be up to you to defend the honor and good name of Ravenwood School of Magical Arts! 

Pegasus Place: Normally home to a host of pegasus aerie, this street has been overrun by a wave of goblins and hobgoblins, fierce and horrible creatures who escaped to Wysteria by hitching a ride with some unwitting students. They have blocked off the street, run amok and caused considerable damage to buildings, and are storming around, menacing students and residents alike. 

Tanglewood Way: Tanglewood Way is ruled by the forces of nature. The gates are completely entangled with vines and seemingly are impassible, and two guards stand outside it keeping people away. Near the gate entrance is a crack in the wall that looks large enough to for a Wizard to sneak through...

Why so Few posts from the Professional Theorycrafter?

You might have said to yourself recently "Why haven't I gotten more posts from the fabulous That Pyromancer, recently?" well the simple answer is I am a theorycrafter and I need story to be able to theorycraft, You might be asking this, "Wizard 101 is the best story I've ever heard! Why if you say that you need story to right, this isn't enough?" and my answer is this: The Wizard101 story is just to awesome, they fill in all of the details. Now this is where you say "What about the Morganth thing?" and I say That's just it, what about the Morganth thing?, we just don't know squat about her, other than two main things: she's a horrible poet and she doesn't like the ever so lovable me. Until the next bit of story comes out (which I expect to be soon) Expect the world from me, but for now, when I can only feed a bone to the Suntier I'll be eerily quiet.

Safety Post: Always Read the Warning Label

Time = Money                                            
With the new "Dragons Hoard" pack out, I would like to remind you of something. Everything in life is a gamble. I've heard people asking, or saying, if this new pack is gambling and the answer is yes, but that's not it. Going into a dungeon or fighting a goon is worth enough to be called gambling, especially when it comes to looking for an item to craft, but you might argue because it is free it isn't gambling, but is that truly free? Being that you may have put well over $100 into this game already it isn't. Not anymore. But saying that playing this game is a gamble is true, you may or may not enjoy it, you may or may not find happiness in it. But If you say that only games are a gamble your wrong at that too. Everything in life requires gambling, from the moment that you are born there is gambling. Weather you pick up a controller or a football is gambling. Driving is gambling your life, as is much in life. But when worrying about gambling money for a game, you might as well go out for a drive. 


I feel as if I have strayed from my point. There's a line between Life and Games, but when they become intertwined do things become truly confusing, what to do, and what not to do. 


Gambling is important, yes, and there is no way to know when it's good or bad, so always think to ones self "Is this really what I want to do?" or "Can I do this?" or even sometimes you can't say  "No I can't do this" just because it's new, you always have to try something.


There is Good Gambling, Bad Gambling, Choice Gambling, Money, Time, Life Gambling, and many other types of gambling. 






I feel as I may have "missed the mark" with this post but I also feel as if I have carried my thought through okay. leave your comment in response below.
