Hi everyone!

Pursten has really out-done himself now. He's devised a special brew that increases the power of ordinary wands. As an trial, he's applied the concoction to a bunch of Basic Brimswood wands, increasing their power to 1600.

He'll only sell the Enhanced Basic Brimswoods to wizards who have proof they can handle that much power. If you don't have a Royal Wizards Coil, you're out of luck. Supplies are limited, so he's only willing to sell each wizard a single wand.

Because this wand has the same power as your Royal Wizards Coil, which wand you use is mostly a cosmetic choice.

This is [b]not[/b] a trade-in. You'll keep your Royal Wizards Coil. You can go to your satchel to change wands whenever you like.

A side note: You can also equip pots and seeds from your satchel now.

We'll try to add more wands over the next several months. Most of these will be in the game, but a few will be available exclusively through Pursten's premium shop.

[b]Seed Mastery[/b]

We're also adding rewards for mastering seeds. I would like to make the reward for mastering, something unique and special. [b]So, right now, there are only mastery rewards for two seeds: the Dragon Seed and Tiger Shells.[/b]

If you've mastered either of these seeds, cast them again and you'll receive a visit from a mysterious stranger. This stranger will make you an offer, fulfill your end of the deal and you'll receive a special item.

We'll add more of these seed mastery bonuses later. With all the seeds we have, I suspect it'll take a long time before there is a bonus for every seed.

Happy Casting! : ))

MAN I AM CONFUSED Now DUDE DO I HAVE ANYTHING YOU ARE ANNOUNCING?

Thank you, Dude, I'm especially happy about the mastery, off to cast my dragon seeds now! I'm undecided if I want to buy the wand, but thanks for the option, and the promise of future enhanced wands :)

@Candy: Sorry, you're not quite there yet...

I should clarify one thing: [b]Everything in this announcement is for fairly advanced players! You must already have the most powerful wand: The Royal Wizards Coil.[/b]

Dang I'm shy 70 gold on getting the wand. And I think I've mastered those 2 seeds.

OH but its OK your always bringing out new items and I love the game will make it one day lol Keep up the good game & ideas.

Rewards for seed mastery is a great idea.... and if I understand it I must first cast dragon and tiger shells if I have mastered them and I will get a offer of a reward! I hope all the seeds once mastered will bring the offer of rewards... Welcome back Dude! I just love all the excitement you are generating....

Hey dude, I thought i did what the guy asked, is there any way he can come back to say what he needs??? I must of wrote down the wrong plant...... Is there any way to have him come back?

welcome back Dude.. I trust you had a great weekend :)

Yay! Thanks Dude :)) Love the idea of re-buying the old wands. The mastery rewards will give more incentive to them as well!

Kyles - the new material I'm sure will be in the island wiki in a bit for you to go double check on it :)

Kyles Mommy...sending you a scroll

Thanks Kianna and Lauren!!!!

Just noticed a small bug: Sometimes the wrong wand is displayed when you view someone else's profile. I'll get this fixed in a few minutes...

Thanks Dude and keep them coming we love every bit of it.

Thanks very much for equiping seeds& pots in satchel./:~)

Bug fixed. : ))

Welcome back!
I am looking forward to the new content, but I think I'll wait on mastering Tiger Shells.

I've always wondered how it would be possible to master the tiger shells. How can you get the **spoiler** when you don't have any **spoiler**?

Mararet there is only one way to master those seeds... sending you a scroll

Hi meela could you send me a scroll also? thank you!

Hi Meela, could you send me a scroll also? I would be very grateful, thank you.

Wow, that's so cool! Thanks, Dude! *goes off to explore* =D

Thanks Dude got my first special item!! Yayyyyyy!!! Whoaaaa cool when you cast!!! haha

Rien and Nimue.. scrolls sent.

Yay! I like the look of the Basic Brimswood wand better than Royal. ◠‿◠
Thank you !

Me too, please, Meela? Thank you. :)

Dude you are amazing!!

So is there a benefit to buying the basic brimswood wand? or is it just a fun kind of thing?

Crystal it appears to be a 'fun kind of thing'

ok thats what I thought. Thanks!

I'm confused - my wand already has 1600 power. So what will the new wand do?

Fiona... scroll sent

Will it make any difference with this new wand "less duds maybe !"

Terri I believe this is a fun thing.. for those players who just want to switch things up a bit. Kinda of like paying premiums for different outfits when they go into the premium shop.

I haven't noticed any difference, but it is a nice change to switch the wands.

Saw someone posted Dragon Master - then saw the announcement - nice for something new, but will have to wait for space on the stand for 3 of a kind! ;0

Yes, Terrie -- as Meela said -- the new wand is just for fun. In terms of actually growing things, it is no different from the Royal Wizards Coil.

It's just something nice for players who want to give there wizard a different look, or see one of the old animations, or complete a collection. : ))

Am I missing something about the wands? I have the coil one which is 1600 power. I dont get why I would want to spend 400 gold on a plain old wand with the same power? Seems sorta like a waste of gold but I guess if your gold rich then its ok. I would like to see new wands with more powers and that look cool. :)

Meela, could you send me a scroll about the shark too please

Can I please get a scroll too about the Tiger Shell seed mastery? Have I already mastered it by growing every plants, which I have?

@Ariana, no you have Completed the seed by growing at least one of each plant. To Master a seed, you have to grow 3 3-of-a-kinds of each plant and sell each plant at least 4 times in a row.

Cheers.

Meela please scroll me with how to master tigershell? thanks so much in advance

Quick question...

I've Mastered the Dragon seeds, so started recasting...
The 'visitor' came to see me and I agreed to his 'terms'... how long do I have to wait for him to come back?

Bella - you must complete his terms in order for him to come back, and grow the necessary plants.

Hi, I am fairly new to this and just get on to cast spells. What are the scrolls? And how do you get them and what do you do with them? Sorry for all the questions. But really have no idea what I am suppost to do on here.

Grandma, scroll are like and EI e-mail system. You can send messages to a specific player instead of posting in the forum.

O, I don't know anyone, so Thank You.

Thanks Dude! It's a great news to the Island =D

@Meela - Can I please also get the high demand scroll with the information on mastering the tiger shells? :)

Love the new wand, nice to have a new animation. Thanks for all the fun you keep bringing to the game Dude.
