Crafting the Watchtower Hall - Finale


Hello and welcome to the finale of this amazing tutorial, crafting the Watchtower Hall! I made a vow months ago, when I was given my spell book by Headmaster Ambrose and told how great I was going to be, that I would be frugal and save enough gold to craft all of my other houses - the Watchtower Hall being the first of them. And now, rejoice - the time has come to craft it! But first, the final three objects you need to craft before you can craft it(other than the Blizzard cards, which I got from the Bazaar, and Ghost Fires, which can be bought from reagent vendors from Mooshu onwards), which require you to become a Master Artisan to learn the recipes:


This was an effort undertaken by me and two of my pen-pals - first off, I convinced Amber to not give up on me and create the eight Grassy Mounds*, which are very easy to get the ingredients for. You need a total of, and I quote:
  • 32 Nature's Wrath Treasure Cards (the bazaar is swimming in them)
  • 48 Shadow Oil (easily purchased from Krokotopia)
  • 8 Glass Vials (buy from Marleybone onward)
  • 544 Deep Mushrooms (these are so common in the bazaar it's not funny, luckily Amber had a fungal garden in her backyard so it wasn't hard to get this insane amount)
  • 208 Water Lilies (this is probably the hardest thing to get, but they are easily transmuted from Cat Tails, and you should be choking in Cat Tails, which can be easily harvested from the fountain in Hyde Park, I mean they should really put some plant killer there!)
  • and finally, 160 Parchment (get your weaker wizards to donate their hauls from Krok 6_^)
* She didn't have any room in her houses to display all eight mounds so she put one down and showed it off. This was the last thing crafted and it took forever as the Water Lillies take moons to harvest and I had to rush to the store to buy some more Parchment for her as she had run out.


Next up, Chris Storycrafter was nice and helped make the four Wooden Water Towers, which requires a total of...
  • 16 Evil Snowman Treasure Cards
  • 20 Shadow Oil
  • 4 Glass Vial
  • 200 Mist Wood
  • 96 Scrap Iron (if you're out, you can spend 499 Crowns to get 100 Scrap Iron, but it's costly - he ended up spending the Crowns to get the required amount of iron)
  • 64 Frost Flower
  • and finally, 240 Bronze Gears

Last but not least, I took it upon myself once I became a Master Artisan(which takes three tough quests to get your badge) to make the two Water Fountains, which requires this much stuff:
  • 4 Seraph Treasure Cards (if you still have that one Lady Oriel gave you, keep it)
  • 2 Shadow Oil
  • 4 Glass Vials
  • 240 Ore
  • 120 Water Lilies
  • 72 Frost Flowers
  • and, finally, 128 Bronze Gears


Now we have all the items, so I put them in my pack(make sure you have enough room for 32 items - if you have a sub/time you will 120 slots of inventory, so make sure you have 60 free slots) and hoofed it to Grizz to visit the Hall of the Ice Forge. (I was in the neighborhood anyways to help stop the Ravens from doing evil deeds, so why not?)



This is the place you'll go to craft all of your houses... ready? (Get on the sigil, or Ymir won't be happy and you can't craft the house.)


Let's do this!


SUCCESS! (The Watchtower Hall was crafted at 9:00 PM on August 2, 2014.)



My first crafted home! Woohoo! How about a brief tour? Come on!

It looks like something out of Northguard, this is just awesome! It was a long journey I started since Wizard City but I've finally constructed my first house and I did it on minimum budget! ^_^

But I'm not done yet! Once we get to Celestia, you'll see me working with my pen pals to form...



Chris: "Oh Nooooooooooo!!!!" *everyone screams and runs away*

(Yep, THE CELESTIAL OBSERVATORY!!!! *evil cackle* Ciao for now! ^_^)
