Talkative Time: The History of Mounts.

Mounts, mounts, mounts... You know 'em, you love 'em, and you want 'em! Heck, they're stylish and increase your speed. But is there any downside? Find out in today's installment of...

TALKATIVE TIME!
(With Alia LotusPetal)

Okay, so mounts are REAL big. Like, REALLY REALLY big. Literally, as well. In fact, we're so familiar with them that we always know that they're located in that little famous crown button.

 

 *sigh* The Crown Shop has been a benefit in our Wizard City adventures.


But MOUNTS!


MOUNTS!


They are the most awesome accessory EVER.


It's like the latest style in one of those fashion mags. Or the perfect addition to your favorite outfit. I'm getting too girly here. xD


Anyway, it all started one October day. The test realms opened. Everyone eagerly logged in. It was time to test out some mounts.


A certain girl, Alia LotusPetal, bought a lovely Royal Lioness and Royal Outfit set. The test realms were AMAZING! This would be the first time she was on the test realm.


Of course, there were hundreds of mounted wizards... Riding along on ponies of different varieties... Brooms... Even tigers and Lions! It was one of the best updates ever made in Wizard101.


Then... Weeks later... There was an update to the live realm.


All bloggers went crazy.


Mounts were out.


Anyone who was ANYONE had one. Mountless Adept Alia LotusPetal was fine. She went through all of Krokotopia, Marleybone, Mooshu, and a bit of Dragonspyre without one. Finally, one December evening in the Grand Chasm, Alia LotusPetal bought a White Mare. Pretty much everyone with Crowns had one of these awesome things!

Another morning in February, something totally epic happened. Overnight, there was an update! No test realm or anything. No waiting. Just log in and get your new WING MOUNTS!

Everyone wanted to grab them. Crownless ones fled to Kraysys in an instant for wing farming. And that week, you could not walk anywhere without hearing the word "wings." Alia LotusPetal then bought some, and passed her White Mare down to Rachel LotusBlossom. It was wing chaos.


With Celestia coming out, will there be any underwater mounts? Who knows?


But, are these awesome accessories a ripoff?


I, Alia LotusPetal, will interview Rachel LotusBlossom on her experience.


Rachel... How do you feel about your White Mare?


Hmmm... I'd say... I WANT FREAKING WINGS ALREADY!

Be patient, young wizard. I'm gonna pass the wings onto you as soon as--

"Young wizard?" Who are you, Headmaster Ambrose?

Rachel, please, just share your experience.

Ugh. Fine. When I first got them, I thought I was going to have so much fun on my mount. I would go faster, and be higher in the air. But... Mounts are kinda bulky. I loved the shoe idea... I'd say I want increased speed without always having to be on a dang horse.

*writes down on notepad* Interesting...

Readers, followers, NOT enemies anymore because of a little incident on last post comments, I want you all to please share your opinion.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Okay, back to the stuff about what I did. Last night, I did something I'm gonna love doing and remember for a while... Farming WC bosses for statues. Yep. George Lopez was on my TV screen... I was chewing some strawberry citrus Trident Layers... Blowing huge bubbles with it... I got a Triton Statue and a Cyclops Statue! I can't wait to try for the Firecat...

I didn't get my Blue Ghost, sadly. :(

I hope I get my Sprite pet AT LAST! After I get the Firecat statue, I'm gonna try for some KT statues. Then MB. Hopefully, MS. And DS? Don't even get me started...

Okay, errm, anyway...

THE LOTUSPETAL IS OUT!

Which boss drops the Triton statue?

Samuel, the answer to your question is Sergeant Skullsplitter. He's on Triton Avenue. Just make sure you've finished his quest first!

To make sure, just enter Triton Avenue, go left, and just keep on going along the sidewalk. If you can't get in the tower, check and see if you have any quests from Gloria Krendell in Olde Town. IF you don't, head to Gloria!
