A couple of trophies and some Thoughts from the Treetop: May 2, 2017

Sometimes the real world keeps me busy and I get behind on my Webkinz blogging. 🙂  I’m having an easy day today, just enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the birds at the feeders on my back deck.

I’ve got some fun news and some random thoughts to share, so I figured I’d do a Thoughts from the Treetop post and just collect it all in one place.

First I want to share my exciting news (well, it’s exciting to me, anyway) – I finally got a Pet Party Parade trophy! 🙂 I got the trophy a few days ago on my TreeHuggerJess account, and it’s really cute.

When you complete all 30 levels of the game, you’ll see this message:

Then because it was my first time winning the whole game and earning a trophy, I got this message:

Last, here’s a look at the trophy in my Trophy Room:

Have you won the Pet Party Parade trophy yet? How many levels have you been able to beat so far? Do you have any tips for winning Pet Party Parade?

It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means a new Deluxe Monthly Challenge. In order to meet this month’s challenge, you’ve got to earn 150 kinzcash playing Color Storm.

I’ve actually got some tips for playing Color Storm. To read the tips, click here for the blog post I wrote during the Color Storm Trophy Challenge.

Speaking of trophies, I finally won the Candy Bash 2 trophy – and I won it on both of my accounts!

The Candy Bash 2 trophy looks like a chili pepper:

Here it is in my trophy room:

(And there’s my Grumpy Cat giving us a photo bomb!)

The Candy Bash 2 trophy is actually pretty easy to win once you know the secret/trick to unlocking it. The trophy is awarded randomly, BUT the only way you can have a chance of winning the trophy is by first getting “4 in a row” while you’re collecting the falling candy.

That means “catching” four of the same type of candies/sweets in a row, like this:

Once you’ve collected four in a row, keep playing and wait for the cat (named Gato Loco) to float by across the top of the screen. If Gato Loco is holding a trophy, hit him with a bean – the trophy will fall, and if you catch the trophy before it hits the ground, then congrats! You now have the Candy Bash 2 Trophy! When you catch the trophy, you’ll hear Poncho say “Arrrrrribe!”

The random trophy counter will reset after each appearance by Gato Loco. So if you see the cat but don’t get the trophy, you need to do another four in a row in order to have another chance at the trophy.

Have you won the Candy Bash 2 Trophy yet?

I’ve adopted a couple of pets recently. One of them was the Baby Bunny. The Baby Bunny was a special pet in the month of April because Baby Bunny owners got a extra activity each day. (Like the Reindeer Games in December and the Lovely Fox bonus activities in February.)

I named my Baby Bunny “Gidget,” and I think she’s a cutie:

Here’s Gidget wearing the Farmer’s Wife dress you can sometimes find at the Ganz eStore. (The clothing selection changes frequently.)

If you want your own Baby Bunny, the plush is still available at the Ganz eStore.

The Flower Collection Event just kicked off – if you want some tips on collection event success, click here for a blot post with advice on how to collect flowers quickly.

I’ll wrap up my Thoughts from the Treetop with a picture of the Super Token I recently won – this Super Token was worth three wish tokens!

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic week!

Wish Factory Prizes: Letters R and S

Hello my Webkinz friends! I’m back with a look at a couple more prizes in the Wish Factory. These are the more expensive items – not the ones you get when you adopt a new pet and the ones that max out at 15 tokens.

We’ve been working out way through the alphabet, and now we’re up to the Letter R (there’s no items starting with P or Q). The Letter R brings us to Raziel’s Slide, which costs 300 tokens.

Raziel is a dragon that lives in the caves underneath Adventure Park. You encounter Raziel when completing certain Adventure Park quests.

Raziel’s Slide was an item you could win during a mega collection event way back in 2013. It’s an interactive item – your pet can slide down it:

Here is another picture of Raziel’s slide so you can see its size in relation to other slides:

Let’s move along to Letter S. There’s only one item beginning with Letter S, and that’s the Sport Soaker Tub:

The Sport Soaker Tub costs 100 tokens. It was a prize you could earn during a collection event called “I Love My Webkinz.” This collection event featured other items you can use to keep your pet happy and healthy, such as a treadmill and a blender. These items were helping to lead the way for the transition into “Webkinz X,” which is the version you’re now playing (family scores, filling hearts, etc).

As you probably guessed, you can use the Sport Soaker Tub to give your pet a bath:

The Water Treadmill, which I’ll talk about in the future, was also part of the heart collection event. Both items fit very well with a fitness theme and would look great in a gym-themed room.

That’s all for Letters R and S. Are you planning to save up for Raziel’s Slide or the Sport Soaker Tub? Let me know in the comments! 🙂

The Great Trophy Chase: Dogbeard’s Gold

Dogbeard’s Gold is a Webkinz Arcade game featuring your favorite pirate – Dogbeard!

The goal of Dogbeard’s Gold is to launch Dogbeard from one spinning platform to the next, collecting jewels and gold coins along the way.

You can either press the spacebar or click your mouse to make Dogbeard jump. There’s a handy arrow that shows you which direction Dogbeard will “fly,” so you can line the arrow up with the jewels/gold coins and get as many as possible.

Here’s a look at the arrow:

Dogbeard’s Gold actually gives medals rather than trophies, but they still look great in a trophy room!

You get a bronze medal at 10,000 points, a silver medal at 50,0000 points and a gold medal at 100,000 points. So far I’ve only been able to earn the bronze medal. My highest score has been just under 28,000 points.

I have a couple of tips to help you earn your medals. First, I use the mouse rather than the spacebar. For me, the mouse is quicker and more accurate.

Second, really pay attention to racking up those jewels and coins in the early stages of the game. When you hit all of the gems/coins without missing any, you start building up a “combo.”

You can see your combo progress in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Your combo number is how many gems/coins you’ve hit in a row. As soon as you miss a gem/coin, your combo goes back to zero.

Creating high combo numbers is important because you have the ability to quadruple your score. When you get a combo of 30, you start getting 2x the points, at 60 it’s 3x the points and if you can hit a combo of 90 you’ll get 4x the points. The points start to add up really fast at 4x, and you’ll hit the bronze medal very quickly.

In the beginning stages of the game, the platforms spin more slowly, so hitting the coins/gems is a bit easier. Also, you don’t have to rush. You get a full rotation of the platform before your combo number starts over. So while you can’t just spin around endlessly, you can complete one spin without losing your progress.

A little compass-shaped clock in the lower right hand corner of the screen shows you how much time you have before your combo starts over:

Another tip – and this is something I only recently learned – is that you actually get TWO jumps per platform. If you miss the platform on the first jump, you can click one more time for a second jump. This second jump can save you when Dogbeard starts to plummet.

As the game progresses, you will come across platforms that are triangle shaped map pieces:

For me, these are a bit trickier than the round platforms, but the more you play the game, the easier it will become to time your jumps from the map pieces.

One last thing to look out for – sometimes the jewel/coin chain is really steep. Here’s a picture to show you what I mean:

In those cases, I usually focus on jumping to the next platform, and I don’t worry about trying to collect the gems/coins. Even though you lose the points, you’re still progressing in the game, and you’ll have plenty more opportunities to earn points.

Currently Dogbeard’s Gold is only available to Deluxe members. (Visit the Ganz eStore to learn about Deluxe memberships.) But, if it’s the Game of the Day, anyone can play, and you can earn yourself some medals for your trophy collection!

Good luck!

Doug the Dog and Trading Gems

Do you trade gems with Doug the Dog in the Clubhouse? For the past several months I’ve been working harder at finding Doug and trading with him. In the past, I never really had much interest in it, but now I’m on a quest to get those trophies!

It was only recently that I learned that in order to make progress in your gem trading, you must use the SAME pet each time you trade with Doug! For a very long time, I had no idea that the progress was tied to a particular pet. You can imagine that I was very confused when it seemed like Doug kept making me start over and go back to all those ice cream and rock candies!

 

My progress has really picked up speed now that I know to use the same pet each time I find Doug. In fact,  I finally earned all those trophies I’ve been wanting so bad!

Here’s what the three trophies look like:

Here’s a little bit of info on Doug in case you haven’t traded with him before:

Doug is Arte’s brother, and once a day, for only one hour, you can find Doug in the Clubhouse. Click on him, and he’ll ask you to give him a specific gem. If you have the gem, and you’re willing to give it to Doug, then he’ll award you a prize.

Doug starts out by asking for common gems, then he moves on to uncommon and rare gems as your trading progresses. Sometimes he’ll ask for more than one type of gem at a time.

Here’s what Doug looks like in the Clubhouse:

Doug can pop up anytime, but I’ve noticed that he’s generally in the Clubhouse in the evenings, usually between 5pm and 7pm. When he’s there, he stays for an hour, so if he shows up at 7pm, he’ll be there until 8pm.

There are 20 prizes total to collect from Doug – that’s a lot! I’m doing pretty well on both of my accounts. I especially love the wallpaper and flooring that you can earn from trading with Doug:

Do you like to trade gems with Doug? How many prizes have you collected? Which are your favorites? Let me know in the comments for a gem trading food prize via Kinzpost!
