Advanced Friends List & Interface Improvements
First, the Friends List is now larger, easier to use, and contains more information. To access your new friend list features, click the "More Friends" button from within the friends list. Click "Less Friends" to return to your basic friends list.
Second, you can now see a list of all the charms, wards, and other effects that are applied to characters during combat. Roll your mouse over your character label while in combat and you'll see a complete list!Third, you'll now notice a new option to the side of your chat window, which will allow you to darken the transparency of your chat window background to provide more contrast, so you can see text more easily in areas where white text is difficult to read. And there's also a brand new option to make chat much larger in the chat window! See your options interface to try out this new feature.
Fishing Update
Ryoshi in the Jade Palace of MooShu has two brand new fishing quests for you! Please note, however, that you must have completed the quest "New Fishing Buddy" from Grizzleheim to begin Ryoshi's quests. Ryoshi also has a couple of new winnow fishing spells that will make isolating those prized catches a bit easier! Furthermore, new Doodlefish have arrived in your favorite magic-school-themed houses of Wizard101. Take a housing tour and add them all to your collection!
New Boss in Polaris
KingsIsle recently played host to another amazing Wizard, thanks to the Make-a-Wish foundation.
Brandon has a brand new quest, "Trial by Dragon's Fire", for those Wizards who have completed the quest "Into the Bleaks". Brandon will also be able to help you on your journey through a minion spell, and you'll even be getting a free treasure card with the Brandon spell right when you first accept the quest. If you like to hunt for cool gear, don't miss the new Dragonborn Helms you have a chance to get from repeating this awesome boss fight!
