Wizards had a huge update today. Lots of new items and changes. Most of it costs gold or crowns. There are also a bunch of halloween quests.
Also, if you haven't been on lately there is voice overs and quest helper option that point you exactly where you need to go and how many steps away. It makes things SO much easier.
From the Wizard101 website (lots more details there):
"Welcome to the October 2009 Patch Notes. There are quite a few updates including Wizard Mounts, a new Crowns Shop, New Elixirs, Henchmen, Seamstress, Gifting, Housing Previews, Transmutation Crafting, and much much more."
Let me know if anyone plays and wants to meet up in game. I have a grandmaster, a level 42, and a few baby wizards < level 10. I can send a friend code.
