Hello and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brenton today. We are doing some bad stuff. Welcome Dylan How's it going today? I hope you're doing well Please let me know if stream dies. I am trying to have higher higher um bit rate today So we'll see how that goes It could go really badly or it could go great. Let me just mute that. What does it look like? Does it look better than normal? Because theoretically it should look a little bit better than normal theoretically But yeah, welcome welcome welcome. We're just gonna quickly do this planty thing real fast Yeah, if you didn't see Was a one-on-one put out a new teaser today for Novus very exciting I did a whole deep dive into what I my thoughts on it And onto it So if you want to see my thoughts on that you can go read my long thread Honestly a little bit weird a little bit weird not gonna lie weird teaser if you haven't seen it Let me get a link for you If I can do it correctly the buttons and things Let me just plant these now, so I'm just getting some event points because it is good This is this this is like that is like Very long link, but it is like it is a tiktok video that they released of Of fish I am fish is the code for three spiritual spiritual is off. I think it is yeah So that's cool.  Anyway, um, let us do some badge stuff because that is what you're here for probably or not Currently for you waiting. We are at 26 of 60 badges We're finished off the imperial ones that we're doing on stream for now, which is cool Caramel is where we are next and we have to defeat a whole bunch of marshmallows and a whole bunch of gummy bears and gummy worms and honey badges and candy strike up watch my golem Sorry and gummy bunnies and Brutals and gnomes and all of the above all of those all of those and then also do a Whole bunch of challenge badges, which are gonna be painful and annoying. Hi, Sharia. Welcome. The stream is lagging up a storm Might be just you though if it is I will have to restart and retry again because Because it could go wrongly it could go wrongly it might just be you I am trying it at like a higher bit rate. So Usually I go for six thousand, which is like the most that you could ever do on Twitch Whereas now I'm doing it at 10,000 which is like a little bit more. So it should look a little bit nicer But if you're if people are lagging too much, please let me know and I will change that for next time 100% Yeah, hi CC. Welcome. You're building up a ton of monster domes so that I can create the world's World-based boss jewels where you can fight bosses in various worlds just finished wizard city and one and Just finished wizard city one and start a crocodile one. Nice Nice, you're kind of struggling with Celestia. Somebody told me to put jewels in my own In my own blade and etc I have no idea what that means But Celestia can be a little bit difficult that is for sure For sure agree with you on that one Especially if you're kind of low-leveled if you went straight after dragon spire where you haven't done any side quest can be a little bit slow Anyway, what's bad should we start with let's just do some marshmallow Just get them out of the way with because I don't want to fight them anymore. I don't want to fight them They don't deserve this fate. They don't deserve it. What is the daily assignment today? You know not doing that Jewels on your athame. Yeah, you can put jewels on your athame. You can put jewels on your rings You can put jewels on your on some of the weapons Weapons being wands and stuff and then also deck and Yeah, and amulet as well and some of those can help Generally if you're thinking about jewels the square ones are for defense the circle ones are for offense the tier ones are for health and manner Generally and the triangle ones are for utility like power put accuracy and cards If that helps a little bit You have a similar amount to yours got but it's the blue one got after three packs nice I like I like this one because it's RGB color and obviously every every pro gamer Has to have RGB everything so RGB mount is what it has to be Obviously Now I really like that. I really like this the rocket ship now. It's they're pretty cool. They're pretty cool. Honestly pretty cool Some monsters are at 1k HP. Well, I'm at level 50 and not good with putting right cards. Well trying to Boss with 4k HP. Yeah bosses in Celestia, especially early on are quite bad I would recommend having a small deck as possible But carrying a lot of shields so have like a few hits and a few blades Remember reshuffle and have a few shields that you can put in While you're blading up for your hit. That would be what I would recommend That that's generally how I play Crip Lock. No, this is so sad. Yeah That that's what I would recommend, but it can be a little bit challenging. That's for sure tin tin Oh my gosh, how how many were we up to of these by the way? We are up to 105 let's get up to 200 today Because I'm not gonna get to a thousand today. That's for sure and then we'll move on to another one We will move on to something else after that as in another mob to defeat You put shields The ones with 50% or something and others depending on what element the monster is fair enough fair enough Hi all Betsy game. Welcome. How are you? How's it going today? How's it going? Hope you're doing well Yeah, if you haven't seen by the way, there is a code at the moment for azoth. It is I am fish Fun fact fun fact.  I believe Yeah, that is cool because they released a new teaser today And it is about novice and it is pretty cool pretty cool a bit weird but pretty cool Yeah, so if you want to see that I put the link in share earlier Can I be mod or so? I don't I'm not taking any mods at the moment I am fine with how many mods we have currently Yeah, I Also don't generally just give out more to Like just anyone either and I've already got a couple people that are on the list for next To be mods next once once I need them Design appears to be speaking at the end of each teaser video he does that's probably because he is he is No, that is my assumption. That is my thought could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he is nervous Design is nervous. He has become fish. He is fish. He is fish. He is here and he is fish That is what he is He is no longer nothing. He is something 100% You got in the three a soft cards from Takenobu the master is nice Um Usually getting on the wrong time when I do team ups for the dungeon in Celestia Yeah, sometimes Sometimes there's slow team ups and sometimes there are not usually around about What is the time currently in America? What is the time currently in America? It's about 4 p.m. So in Central America. So like That that's generally around this time is generally when the most people are online Obviously, there's only one full round today, but yeah, usually usually around this time is around the busiest time for was at this moment Friends of you He has become something My story from nothing to something by design exactly It won't let me tp to you. I apologize that'll be because I have friend teleports off you can tp to me now There we go, I have fixed it I have fixed it Have fixed you may teleport to me as you wish Yeah, right they did they're dead Adam deathblood welcome to the fight just kidding How's how's La Maria going for you? Are you doing well? Have you are you winning? Are you winning yet? Are you winning? What is your level your max level? Yeah? Are you winning? Are you winning? You're not winning is hard. Oh, no. Oh, no. This is so sad This is devastating Honestly devastating. I'm so sorry La Maria is a little bit difficult. I agree Um just a little bit. It also depends on your gear as well Which is not Terrible It's not terrible. You are still using waterworks, which is interesting interesting choice very interesting choice Yeah, it's not like the worst it's not the worst it could be worse Yeah I got On at like two or three a.m. European time, but it's UTC plus three sometimes in To do it, but no one was going to team up So I've kind of dropped the game fair enough Fair enough it like completely depends on when you're on also a lot of people I Think there's a lot of people who haven't done Celestia or are not in Celestia currently So therefore they're not really helping and max players can't really see those Team-ups for Celestia and stuff because they're too high level and it makes it unfun apparently So unless you've been sitting in team up for a long time most max players won't see it And then also the fact that they don't usually check Celestia stuff either Yeah Seems like novice and all the native creatures are designed and I love that concept. I think it's really cool I am I'm really excited for novice. I cannot wait. I'm hoping it's gonna come out towards the end of this month Testrum that is my that is my thoughts could be wrong. I don't know. I am not King's Isle I Feel like I have to state that because people ask me about the game I don't know. I don't I don't make the game. I just play game. I just play game I have as much information as you I don't get any sneak peeks from King's Isle I just play game is is all I do all I do is play game is it I do however feel like I'm pretty accurate on my assumption of of Novice after that teaser. I think I'm pretty accurate on it. I feel like the monk physician is gonna make a comeback And what make a make her return to law For a bit and also their first like mention and was I feel like that is probably gonna happen Because currently they've only been mentioned in pirate which is cool But it is it is a big part of the spiral that hasn't actually been touched by was yet So I'm feeling like that's gonna happen Yeah You're thinking November for test run beginning of December for life from because they said end of 2022 not towards the end Interesting interesting you just got this level 78 spell is that monster mash not monster mash. Oh juju juju Fair fair fair point. Okay Undisturbed Stormblade I was a blade and shield his blade and shield only Stormblade what it's played in shield gives a random blade and a random shield Yeah, it could be But then I don't know usually it's around October November. We don't releases so It'll be fine. It'll be fine. It'll come everyone will be happy I would prefer if they spent longer and made it better than if they just rushed it though I don't want it rushed because that's bad Test drums have been released later this year. That is true. That is true caramel badges. Yes caramel badges We are defeating Marsh fellow for a bit and then we will move on to some other badges because I can't bear to see these guys Harm to anymore. They don't deserve it What kind of jewels should I put on my? Blade and FM or something when I'm done Celestia since I haven't done jewels at different elements instead of ice plus 14 It depends on what you're wanting And what the slots are so each there are specific types of jewels There's a square which are generally defensive. There's triangle, which is generally utility so accuracy that chance and Blades or cards I should say Those are generally what they are circle are for damage and crit and also outgoing kills Tier is for health and mana and also fishing luck and No, there's no energy. That's will start and then star jewels are for pets only so it depends on what things you have and Generally, I don't really touch jewels until the end of the game because generally it doesn't make too big of a difference But yeah Can you help me get Luma quest done? I would love to but I really need to get badges today That is that is my sole goal of the day is to get some badge progress done Because I want to get as many badges done before Novus comes out as possible So I would love to but I'm going to decline unfortunately, I Will decline this offer. I'm sorry I am sorry Scarecrow Scarecrow what month did La Maria release on the test drum last year? That's a great question Let's find out shall we Let's find out Profbox extra Videos playlists Let us find out where is I put that in the playlist the Maria side quests I put La Maria in there as a thing. I don't know if I did Don't think I did Put caramel on a playlist not La Maria though. That's fun Let me let me find let me find out for you. It's just gonna be scrolling for a little bit just a little bit just for what like 300 days of videos That's myth that's fire where is Maybe it was that one Do we go straight do we go buy a first? I think we did buy a first because I didn't do it in um that so It came out on live rum around the end of november Because the first video that went up was on the 4th of december And that'll be probably a week or two behind what what I streamed it at which if we go into video producer onto which We can try and find it maybe Um A little bit hard to find but I can try There's 21 there's 21 We did it on the 1st of december my time So like the end of november is when it was released into live rum So I would say it was in test rum for about three weeks So about the start of november I would say is when it was um when it was released On test rum November 8th. I was right. It was the start of november. Whoo. What's the harm my calculations are great Because I knew I knew as soon as we did it It was on like the first or second day and that was december the first So generally there's about three weeks beforehand when test rum was live So that would place it at about the start of november on the first week of november ish So yeah If you want shipper falls Shipper falls is great Very cool spell 11 hour 10 would recommend did I just hit I think I must have just hit that was stupid That was stupid of me That was stupid Yeah So That's cool. That's cool Very exciting man. We've posted so many videos on the second channel this year. Holy moly. I haven't missed a day I nearly missed a day the other day, which was quite funny Until I decided actually I can't miss a day. I've gone so far I've gone so far That I can't miss it miss a day That's illegal literally illegal Um remove ship since you can't one shot No, I'm not going to remove shipper falls because it's good for if I don't one shot with scarecrow, which sometimes I don't Because they block too much So it's better to have it instead of waiting for a reshuffle so Yeah, I could probably remove another blade, but also I don't like changing my deck too much Because otherwise I forget to change it back and then I go into a fight and I'm like, oh Where is spell that I have in deck? And it is not there. It makes me sad I just need to pay attention That's all I needed.  You don't have to play efficiently to win Okay You can just play how you want to play Efficiency sucks when you can simply Not efficient It's pretty simple pretty simple Right gg amazing Oh amazing Finally got the last judge veg veg last week. Oh my gosh. I am not looking forward to that at all Like not at all looking forward to that. It is going to be pain 122. Let's go to 150 and then we'll um And then we will move on to something else. We might go and do we did gummy bears last time I think So we should probably do something different We might do watching my golems because we're close to a badge for that or no It's one of those two It is pain and suffering.  They did love to see it get out of here Get out of here. Oh, also I'm so excited that we actually see the crit block animation again because that has been bugged and not working for the longest time So it's great that we actually see it again I like that. I like that change because it makes it feel like I don't crit all the time Which is nice Some people will disagree with me on that one But it's better because theoretically you weren't critting all that time. Anyway, it's just the crit block animation was bugged fun fact I love seeing myself crit block as well. It's so satisfying.  Honestly such a good feel um You used immolate the only time I ever have I killed myself and didn't kill them all No That's kind of funny, but also.  We don't need them anymore. We don't need them Get out of here marshmallows I just want you dead. So then I don't have to deal with you I don't have to fight you ever again. It'll be so good and amazing and cool and good And I'll never have to fight you and it'll be great It'll be great and cool. Please just let me destroy you Don't make it hard. Okay one damage love to see it 26 damage love to see it flight resistors honestly op RIP to the woman who voiced grandmother raven. I know She died the other day. It's so sad It's so sad my childhood My childhood narrator is dead What am I ever going to do? I'm happy that they managed to like conclude her storyline Before she she died though. That's that's good But it's very very sad It's very very sad Um Welcome to episode 500 of emulate only as you can see I'm still in crocotopia. Now. That's the storm walkthrough That's the storm walkthrough episode 500 will be at least an imperia Episode 500 of storm walkthrough. That's probably still gonna be in crocotopia Maybe moosh who if we're lucky I'm molly bone. Sorry. Can you eat the one chip the one chip challenge? Um I don't know if it would ship to new zealand Firstly and secondly it sounds painful and I don't like it It sounds painful Sounds painful the last time I did anything spicy. It did not go well for me Those people who remember that series that I'm referencing will know that it did not go well for me Okay It's sad, but at least they didn't continue her storyline because we would have had an abrupt stop to the narration true true I mean, I feel like I feel like it's a good thing that they um Stopped the narrator. I feel like the narrator was good Um But I don't think it's really needed. They've they've actually done quite a good job I was a little bit skeptical and caramel because I'm like who's gonna narrate the story But now that there's no narrator. I feel like it flows a lot a bit better um, because there's no like Random dialogue in the middle like you have collected the the the mushroom you know I feel like I feel like it's a little bit nicer Plus it gives the other characters a little bit more chance to like, you know, tell their story a little bit more Which is quite cool. Um But I feel like I feel like for the first two arcs first three arcs the narrator is key Because yeah, and I was actually hoping that Bartleby would be the narrator I feel like that would be cool because he's literally we are literally Bartleby mostly So he would be like and I hear narrating the story to us. I feel like that would be cool But that is not how it would work But that would have been cool Um, but yeah, I don't think the game necessarily needs a narrator um, yeah um Are they using insane? Well, that would explain why they're still in croc. No, my storm wizard is running his life on a spreadsheet Of pain the spreadsheet of pain as we like to call it Um, where he has to collect every single unique drop craft a whole bunch of stuff Um, do all of the monstrology stuff in a world before he um progresses on to the next world Currently we're on episode Um youtube.com slash the uh craft box extra craft box extra He is currently on episode number When was the last storm walkthrough episode quite a while ago? uh 21 Month ago. Holy moly. We need to do some more storm stuff. Oh, no 23 23 they all blocked me. No tragic um and we're what? Let me find this spreadsheet Episode 23 and we're currently 22 of the way through wizard city only 22 percent So Yeah, what are we up to here? 133 Not too bad It didn't go well when you drink spoonfuls of hot sauce for the buck now walk through enough It certainly didn't it certainly did not go too well. It was funny though, but um, don't think I would do that again per se um But it was funny. It was good content. I feel you just used the item card emulate on your death On a dessert ghost nice But it'll be as you pull deliver and the mysterious door slowly creaks open exactly that would be so cool Bartleby is one of my favorite characters in the game and I feel like it would be super cool if he could narrate it, but no But it would be cool um Didn't realize I'm late now gives a heal over time after using it It does if you upgrade its spell on path Only if you do its spell on path it does which is kind of nice It kind of goes against the like spirit of the card, but it's kind of nice Um, yeah, this is what 33 34 35. So this is 37 38 No 37 I can count I can math. Don't worry guys. I am I am math math genius man That is me That is me Everyone comes to stream and like ah, it's math genius man Brent back at it again. I'm like, yes, definitely 100 percent completely I am a math genius. Haha.   We just get sick of it So we'll move on to something else because I need to get at least one badger day Each time we do this so we might go for watching my golems. I feel like that would be cool Cripp blocked. No, please don't block me That's sad That's makes me cry Right There we go. I think that's like 37 Yeah 137 This is 39 um boom boom boom lovely And the late was supposed to be a card that punishes you for doing high damage at low level, but it's fine Yeah, the other thing is like at a low level. You're not really going to be getting this fellow. It's really anyway So it's not too big of a deal But it kind of it kind of in my opinion goes against the whole feel of the spell One damage. Whoo. Nice work. Nice work Nice work Yeah, but hey, that's fine. That's fine. I guess Um, right. Yeah, let's just do this. Let's just do this Do we have 10 people online at the moment? We need to get 10 people online for the guild because we've got a couple of things that we need to unlock And that would be cool if we can get 10 people online That would be very cool Because we have at least I think two islands that we can unlock now, which is interesting Which also means that we can put more things down in that house as well Um Yeah, I can math when you can't english I bring my doubts I can't english or math, okay It's okay. I'm just not remarkable in anything. It's fine. I don't have to be I don't have to be remarkable at anything at all As long as I somehow exist, it's fine We need to set up a stream just for unlocking islands. We do we do We do I also need to figure out what we're doing for the next eight hour stream next month. I'm going to try and do an eight hour stream Actually, if it's next month it might actually be The another stream I don't know if I should count that as the eight hour stream though I feel like we need to figure out what we're going to do for the next eight hour stream Eight hours of medulla. Yeah, let's go. Whoo. Imagine that. What are your thoughts eight hours of medulla? Save unlocks for all at once That's all very well, but some of the unlocks that we've got at the moment are quite cool in order to get more stuff Um in order to unlock more so we kind of need to unlock a couple of things And I can't remember what the name is of the character that's been doing like all of the hard work for us um And I apologize for that But um, so we're never for to know On discord honestly The best character ever Absolutely amazing putting in all of the hard work all of the hard work. I can't remember who they are though um Is it no, it's not that one um It's someone in here someone in here I can't remember who it is. It might be Robert's Maybe No, they're 120. It's a level 150 someone Can't remember who it is, but they are honestly amazing and they're doing all of the hard work and I appreciate them I really appreciate them Really really appreciate them Yeah If only raids were actually working that would be cool because we've got the battle island ready to go But raids are currently locked off and are not working at the moment so We're gonna have to wait for that, but yeah um Eight hour stream of just chrysalis and imperia badges. Well, I've already done all of the chrysalis badges and imperia is just whirly-burly storm titan uh medulla and um The beast man fight club Left and those are all gonna be different stream series so Yeah, those ones we can't do Yeah, especially the whirly-burly stuff because I like doing that as like just random videos on the second channel if I need them Because they're not too hard to record um So I don't actually know what I need a new I need a new thing for eight hour stream unless we do like eight hours of like Life-questing and just like Transspeed level my life. Oh, no. I just broke my pen Oh, this is why I shouldn't fiddle with stuff during a stream. I broke my pen. This is so sad Oh, this is devastating I'm crying crying um Somebody in there was one on one game got icicle with 1500 health. Yeah, I says ice can have ridiculous amounts of health I mean, I've got 10 000 health which for me is crazy like I feel like that's a little bit insane for a death wizard to have Especially with what 157 basically 160 damage Why does it say total 160 but it's 157? I don't get that. What the heck? Hold up. What is this? This is six plus three plus 27 plus 22 plus 30 plus 23 plus 18 plus 15 plus 10 plus 6 139 27 22 30 Oh, that's because I put two instead of uh, 23 Whoopsies 23 160 What the heck? Oh, I guess it's because of because of the damage curve I'm so I've got so much damage. I'm being affected by the damage limit That makes sense That makes sense. Um Yeah, okay It is actually 160. I didn't realize I had 160 damage. That's insane Um, yeah But yeah, like with 160 damage 150 whatever with 10 000 health Is kind of ridiculous and also like 40 something resist 48 or something 45 45 to 48 resist kind of crazy in my opinion Would be 165 But you're at 161 due to the damage cap there Fair enough. I have to say the damage cap is great. I think it is a good idea I think it's a very good idea that the more gear you get the diminishing returns you get As long as it keeps increasing over time It I think it isn't a terrible idea because it means that you can kind of focus on other stats as well And you don't have to just solely focus on damage Which I quite like The Storm Titan Amiga way back when I died to it six times on your ice oof Oof yikes Yikes. Yeah, the Storm Titan is painful and I am not looking forward to those streams Um, but we will do that once we're finished medulla But yeah, do you think that we should just do eight hour lifestreams And just save my life wizard for eight hour streams So I can cry during those eight hour streams Or would you prefer like something else? Because otherwise we need to figure out a new series to do. Let's let's move on to something else now um Need to figure out a new eight hour stream series because I don't want to do a storm for eight hours Because that just sounds painful Let's do honey badges They're over here Life eight hours only Fair enough um honey badges The only issue at the moment is my life isn't um Isn't dragon spire Which is not really cool because I don't like questing in dragon spire I really hate questing in dragon spire.  Why did they matter burn me? Oh my gosh This is devastating.  Hopefully should be okay Ka-blam We also need to work on my balance as well Basically the only characters that I have left to complete are my storm character Which is a long-term project my life my ice and my balance That's four plus my fire store myth and death Five six seven. Yeah, those are those are my other characters my ice character my life character Which are just questing and then my balance character Which I don't know what I'm doing with and then my storm character, which is a long-term project Those are the only other characters that I have to do in order to like complete the game though yeah Um, just had to mute to hear the awesome battle music from the autumn monster dome. What is the autumn monster dome music? What is that? Because I assume it's not its own track. It would just be autumn monster dome Um, what is the music for that? I don't know Wow didn't kill tragic um Do they still have ship opposed packs they do I don't give away packs on stream Because otherwise I have to give away packs to everybody And that's not fair because I don't have that much grounds to do that. Sorry So I don't give away packs on stream And they're specifically doing a giveaway, but I don't really do giveaways much. I used to do giveaways every stream But I don't know I just Just too but then I have to just give to to everybody And then if I give to to everybody then then the people who aren't here I'm watching this later will be upset because they weren't here Which is really their fault because they should be watching me live on youtube.com slash the crop box slash live Um, or join my discord so you can know when I am live or just hit the bell and ring the notifications and select all That is also another way to find out when I'm live. Thank you for the shameless plug. I appreciate it Um, right let's continue with these You ain't gonna get it into exactly you unless you get extremely lucky and get the jackpot on the first two packs You're not going to be getting it into because you have to get the spellments So, yeah You can do it when you're off streaming. I don't give away packs to people generally. I just don't do that Unless you've done something absolutely remarkable and like thank you for your your amazingness then I will give you packs but Occasionally, but otherwise I don't really give packs to people on stream or off stream because I prefer to save my crowns as much as possible so I can spend packs myself Because I'm like that and if I have crowns and also because I am saving up for the next law spell pack, which should probably be I think at the start of next year maybe Because that should be a death spell So I'm saving up for that at the moment Saving my crowns like I save my pennies I don't have pennies because we don't use pennies in New Zealand, but That was an American reference to hopefully make me sound a little bit more cultured and um, yeah Yeah, thank you for listening He's got 40,000 crowns. Yeah, exactly. I've got 40,000 crowns. That's not That's not a lot to me. I usually have a lot more And I like to have them just so I can do random things that I need to do if I need to do them So, yeah, I just don't give away packs. I do not give away packs. I'm sorry These 40,000 crowns have to last me till probably the end of the year and then a little bit more So Yeah Why don't you have 40,000 if you're parking like that? Yikes Yikes Um Right cool badge lovely Badger of pride very cool. That is an amazing badger an amazing badge. Um Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? There it is a hundred. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh a hundred of them yikes We'll do this for another couple minutes A few minutes, then we might do something different other than badges Um, yeah, what should we do next? What should we do next? What is the time 10 40? Okay, I've got like another hour What should we do for like an hour? What should we do for an hour? What would you like to see we could do beast moon we could do um What else could we do we could probably do storm stuff if you wanted Um, we could do some monstrology You wish you had a million crowns I wish I did not have a million crowns I feel like I would be way too willing to spend them way too much on things that I really don't need Also because I'm like very anti just spending crowns in general Like I don't really like doing it I really don't like spending crowns if I don't have to The only things that I am willing to spend crowns on I don't agree with this first one But stitching not that I believe that crowns should be the currency for stitching But I will spend crowns on stitching over anything else because I feel like that's at least Not a like huge detriment to the game um Elixirs like energy elixes. I don't mind doing that um And hatching elixes even though I don't usually use hatching elixes or whatever Those are those in my opinion are okay Packs not really a fan of um I feel like it just Is just a little bit harmful to people's health um And What out what else what else What else mounts are okay?   It's great Um, yeah The only time other than that when I will open a new pack is if the gear is cool or looks cool like this mount here Looks cool. I like it. I won't ever open a pack for a pet That is something that I don't I don't Think I would ever do because I'm not going to be replacing my pet And you can generally just hatch your pet with another pet and get that pet If you needed to um But yeah, if like the gear looks cool Then I will probably get it Or try and get it in the pack, but otherwise, I don't really like opening packs Fun fact Monstrology equals storm character now. We're doing monstrology on both my storm and my death wizard.  It's going to be a massive project And the other day we did all of the um All of the halloween stuff So now we just need to go and do all of the wizard city stuff because Originally I was just going to be completing the monstrology time and then I'm like that's cool But then no one can see my progress unless I show them Whereas if it's in my house Then you can all see my progress And how cool I am at monstrology Desi Meito's interesting So yeah, plus that also that also coincides with like decorating streams, which some people like we still needed Oh, the other option is as well is to decorate my um My lemuria room in my house. That's the other option um But I'm least likely to do that one because I I'm not in the decorating mindset today Um, yeah, if I had a million crowns I would be hesitant in spending them because I have OCD and would hate seeing the number go down To an uneven number true true True so true so true So true Right scarecrow, let's go By pecs and two You could do that you could do that but still one million is just such a satisfying number so many zeros So many zeros such a satisfying number Kablam crit lovely gg block unlucky He's still dead though He's still dead though, which is good right Um, are we done? Yeah, we are right. I'm going to put a poll for what we do next real quick. Um What's next? um monstrology death death wizard um house decor rating for beast moon beast moon Okay, those are the options We'll give that poll a little bit of time And then we'll do whatever wins Whatever wins we will do vote at the top of the chat Um, yeah monstrology will be going through wizard city stuff and collecting animus So it'll just be random fights of things over and over again for a bit So basically like this but for monstrology instead of badges um And decorating will be completing the lemuria room in my house And beast moon is obviously beast moon So yeah, you hate beast moon fear fear Fear I am trying to do a little bit of beast moon each time Because I feel like I like beast moon I like beast moon hunt a lot more than mayhem mayhem's just a little bit chaotic for my likings And requires way too much teamwork and some people are really bad at teamwork. I have found Um, so yeah, and then um What was I saying something about beast moon? So, yeah, that's I prefer mayhem. No, I prefer hunt instead of mayhem mayhem's just a little bit too chaotic for me And you're just really at mercy of Trying to have nice players in your team, which generally doesn't happen Um spoiler alert Whereas Beast moon hunt is a little bit better.  I don't feel that I feel like maybe that's just me because eventually I'm trying to level up I'm trying to like complete beast moon Um, so maybe maybe for me It's a bit different because I'm a bit of a completionist and I want to complete all of the um All of the forms to max tier Um, so maybe that's just maybe that's just me But I don't feel like it's a waste of time and it's also now Definitely not a waste of time because it's a great way to get um, not a great way But it's a way to get gold skeleton keys Um, so therefore spellments. Plus, it's the only way to get spellments for things like um, what are the spells death? or crimson phantom uh, dream golem and the golem spells and the other spell that you've got and monster mash and Yeah, which is iron curse elemental golem obsidian colossus actually Is that I can't remember if that's yeah obsidian colossus salamander um glacial golem uh, thieving dragon uh volcanic golem the storm ones um Golem taunt and The other one for myth like the other golem. Yeah, those ones I did a beast moon match today and turned out the opposite team was a disco team with all had max tier forms oof yikes yikes Had to switch to my fire was it to farm health Bang for gold to get the rest of enemas spells for my main character my balance fair enough Fair enough. I have to say one thing that I just like about monstrology And cantrips is just how much it costs gold wise to get Like I appreciate that there's a way to get rid of gold But also it's quite a quite expensive, especially if you're trying to do it as you level up. It's quite expensive Quite expensive That is for sure Well looks like monstrology is winning so we'll do some monstrology afterwards After this fight, we'll do some monstrology We'll go and do some monstrology on my death wizard Which is this wizard? Right fantastic. How far did we get with this badge today? We managed to get up to 140 I believe of the 145 Marsh fellow and 24 of 100 honey badgers not too bad Could be worse. Um, right monstrology What do we need to do? Um, let me just open up the monstrology guide for wizard city And we'll just go on order Right baron greebly is the first man's to go Which is here. Why is b-bug before that? I don't understand that That's interesting. Um What we'll go baron greebly first because he is first in my heart and this we've already got him No, we don't so let's go to baron greebly I hate spellements. It doesn't make sense and beast moon weeks are enough for max one form um I don't think that I don't I don't believe that beast moon weeks are enough to max one form because you need idols Which you have to get from plants. So if you don't have enough moon stones, you can't craft enough to get there um I think bizarre is going to be the closest um And then also lunari It's it's ridiculously expensive to max it to max a beast form Um, let me explain Let me go over here to the arena so to to upgrade a beast form the proper way Ninja pig death is my highest tier tier four if you're gonna upgrade the tier you need 4,800 lunari and also 48 beast moon idols for death ninja pig which um completely random Out of all of the death forms from the death beast moon seed, which is the death moon seeds Which you need three death moon stones, which you get from the beast moon seeds or the spirit seeds Um in order to get the death bonds and then you have to plant them You have to waste three to plant them and you only get a couple of Idols and you may not get the idols that you want Plus you need all of the lunari and i'm sure if you like farm enough lunari in a thing Sure, you can get 4,800 plus all of the other tiers Unlocking one is a gold to start with. Um, do I have a rank two one? I don't know if I do Um, I don't know if I haven't there's another rank four Um, I don't know if I have a rank two There's a rank three rank three is 2400 They they go up in price as you unlock them Do I have a rank two rank two so to get from two to three is 1200 Which is kind of crazy I can't I can't see what one to two is. Oh here we go one to two is six thousand 600 Which is actually pretty affordable and we can actually do that right now, which is called extra points But then it's 12 1200 So like the price goes up getting it first rank is pretty easy But after that it becomes a little bit more challenging in my opinion um Yeah, I like how youtube displays the poll winner and the actual chat now It only does that if I end the poll usually the time I usually I don't end the poll So that's why it doesn't show. Um, but yeah It should do that all the time Um Now you see why best winners waste of time. It's not a waste of time. I don't think it's a waste of time I think it is fun to Get To rank up things and stuff and do that. I don't think it's a waste of time personally Maybe it is for you and that's fine But I personally don't find it a waste of time. Um, we have the we have the extract spell, right? um Gobler gobbler gobbler gobbler gobbler gobbler Um, I don't think we're gonna need a blade. Do I want to put a blade in? Yeah, just in case just in case we have reshuffle. Yeah, cool Um, yeah, but I personally don't think this man is a waste of time I think it is a fun way side activity for those who want a break of just regular Stuff because at the end of the day you could say that the whole of wiz is a waste of time If that's that's where you're coming from Because what is the point of doing anything after you maxed?  You know, it's just a waste of time for a minor increase in stats What's the point of that?  That's for sure um Yeah, and that's basically other than the decks or you get from That and the decks aren't even that great outside of low level pvp, which should then now be banned from so outside of Decathlon No real use for them Because you're not going to be running only treasure cards and fights. That's just how it is But yeah, I would say decathlon is a lot more of a waste of time than beast moon personally Um, right does this kill or am I trash because of the shield? We will find out I kill that's okay. We're all good. We're all good, right gg So we need 20 of this animus. I think we're gonna get like three each time Yeah, we are swooping necklace. Wow amazing um Yeah, so we're at five We're at five Which is exciting. So we just need a um 20 minus five 20 minus five divided by three five fights five more fights five more fights Couple ham and then we can move on to the next creature, which will be baron rotunda who is down the road We're going first. I think we can kill. I'm a little bit like skeptical because if he puts up a shield, I'm not gonna kill So unless we go first, I'm gonna blade first Just in case he shields right gg amazing Also, the other reason why best moon is not a waste of time is because scroll of fortune exists and beast moon is The best way to get scroll of fortune points full stop blooming hat. Wow. That's something that we needed on my storm wizard so Yeah, it is like one of the best ways because It's unlimited to capture battle rings and win and defeat opponents So I swear they changed that it used to have a there used to be a capture limit But they've changed that so there's no capture limit So like you can just play beast moon as much as you want and you'll get so many points because it's unlimited So you can theoretically Kind of like complete beast complete the scroll of fortune really quickly if you're dedicated enough to beast moon Which for some people They want to do that um Yeah Do I have the time or energy to do that?  So Plus it's treasure cards. So it's a little bit more limiting on On the points that you can actually get So, yeah Out of all of the events beast moon and into cathlon, I think beast moon is the least the least useless Hasty harvests yummy Yummy yummy hasty harvests Right, I wish there was a way to pin these 11 11 11 What do you mean 11? How do we get 11? That's not a multiple of three Oh, we started with five Six seven eight, nine, ten, eleven. Okay. Yeah, that's right That's right. Don't worry. Don't worry. That's right That's right. I just can't count I should change the title to Monstrology Mons Monstrologizing Um blooming hat so many blooming hats. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh The cathlon gives a very good pet beast moon is cosmetic Yeah But at the end of the day Is the pet that good like I personally the hamsters um Death class and hamster was a little one before spring after spring 72 The blades it gives is one sharpen blade and one death blade Which this pet here Gives a death blade And also a faint which I think ultimately faint is far superior to sharpen blade Especially considering that the sharpen blade is a item card which you can get on the dragoon boots.  I believe So yeah So personally, I don't think it's necessarily Like the best pet the most game breaking pet ever the ease of triple double pain bringer pain giver death dealer death giver through spell proof doesn't have spell defying but then also Then also, you're still gonna have to hatch for it hatch a bit for it anyway, and if you're unlucky, you're still not going to get the pet um You're still not going to get the pet that you want Like the amount of times you'll have to hatch either way Is either really lots or really little like this pet I got in about six hatches, which is insane But if you get unlucky with that pet, you could still be going for like six or seven hatches just to get that pet You know, so I personally don't think like it's crazy crazy good The reason why it would be crazy good is if dragoon boots um go out of Like just fall off a cliff after the next world Thus meaning you don't have the extra um sharpen blade Which is dreadful Which is dreadful and then yeah Probably that pet is good, but at the moment dragoon gear still holds up so dragoon boots is probably better to have for A sharpen blade than a pet personally when I would prefer a faint on a pet because that is infinitely more damage generally Um, what are we up to is that five? That is five. Cool. Lovely next next boss greedly That rotunda. Sorry who is over here, which is hildrich This one here and run up this way The main appeal of dragoon boots is utility. Yeah, exactly 100% 100% I could have gone for merciless boots on this character But I decided to stick with dragoon boots because of the sharpen blade and the potent trap Plus it's still not terrible damage And also I don't need any more damage because I'm already at the cutoff where it starts Getting diminishing returns. So there's no point really getting more damage So it's at that point it's better to focus on utility over Over damage in my opinion And until until that is not the case. I don't think that death pet is going to be particularly You know sought after as much Because why have one sharpen blade item card? When you could have an item blade a sharpen blade item card and a potent trap item card On one piece of gear, you know Plus a faint on your pet instead, which I think is infinitely better than a sharpen blade and a shield Personally because this bit here gives age of reckoning which is air and then um Death blade and faint and with the feeling faint thing anytime that I cast this faint It has a chance of the feeling faint, which is a mass faint. So it's The this pet is in my opinion the culture is better than the Death glass pet hamster thinking personally What is the a pet of naming? What is the appeal of naming their pets luna? Well, I named this pet luna because it was I think luna was like the Original I think when I made this pet its name was luna. I just called it lady luna because it is got a litteration But I kind of I personally name my pets all differently. So I know which pet I'm talking about like for example, I have waffles, which is my um healing may cast heal pet um, I've got um What is my I've got simba on my myth, which is my myth culture Um, I have I can't remember what my my file was a pet is I can't remember what that is, but I'm also trying to change it up a little bit. So probably why Um, and then my first pet was zina Um, which I don't know where zina is I think zina has been lost and then we have charlie who is my um, oh we have taz Who is my mana pet? Just because we have charlie who is my um charlie who's my may cast pet for um Decathlon We have nate who is my um pet promenade hatching pet. We have buttercup who is my energy pet And then we have alward who is my crit pet and then waffles obviously So I I name all of my pets differently It just happens that luna was the name of this pet when it was hatched And I just stuck with that and called it lady luna. I believe that's how I named it. I believe I'm 90 percent sure. That's how I why I called it that But yeah, there's a lot of luna around I just think it's a good name as well luna is just like a good name Just a very good name personally Right kablam.  What are we up to here for rotunda? We are up to 11 nice 11 we got goblet tc.  Oh fair enough Fair enough. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day.  This is number 14 I could have theoretically popped the triple animus elixir for an hour, but I'd prefer to actually save that because the amount of animus you get at higher levels is I believe is equated to how much XP you get. So if I use that at higher levels, then I can boost up my monstrology level significantly What is my monstrology level at the moment? 18 18, which is not too bad because I can almost do Um lemuria bosses and stuff, which is cool It's very cool. It's very cool Right, let's do this Kablam they're dead Shipper falls is honestly a godsend for this stuff especially low level when we get up to like Mushi we're gonna have to blade before we shipper falls and then and probably around celestia And maybe not celestia. Celestia probably for the bosses. We have to start using scarecrow a little bit with a couple blades But otherwise very good. Um, right 17 one more one more fight and then we can move on to the next person, which is There's still a gray wind gray wind Very cool Very cool, and then we can do some of the ninja pigs And drain stuff some of the drain people Blue ninja pig and bee bug Bee bug don't awful get up for that. Oh, we should probably get up to that today I would say we should probably get up to that today most likely Kablam I need to figure out how we're gonna how we're gonna put these up I still haven't figured that out I said I would try and figure that out, but I have not figured that out That's a like no damage to him. Why?  There are Ooh The glum the glum thumb and the pirate What are the pirate give again? What are the ones for this? that one What is the is it in this one that the cool? um What are the cool like obi ones are they from the Because I kind of want one for my fire wizard The like cool orb ones I can't remember what they Which pack they're from which ones bestilla? All the way down the end at the arrow Arrow which is this one here Boom and then we go this way. I think I think right this way. Yeah this way cool cool cool cool easy Easy peasy. I think it must be the glum thorn I think I don't think it's the pirate nightmare Because that was the one that was released a few years ago right Yeah, 2020 Whereas the glum thorn I feel like has been updated like three times since it was released Um, right bestilla you're an undead Let me get the right one for you And then we shall destroy you. Oh, she has death as well Um, surely she doesn't have that much resist Well, we'll find out we will find out if she has that much resist Surely she won't this is this is fire cat ally. We're talking about right bestilla bestilla grave When Wizard 101 how much resist do you have? You have 30% that's not too bad. I can basically pierce through a lot of that She'll have like 20% pierce 20% resist Slightly less slightly more. I should say now. We're all good easy peasy kablam This also goes towards the um Towards the undead badges which we are Um All six seven seven of eight thousand So quite a wee way away Why do we way away that is for sure? any six of 20 oof oof six of 20 yikes Yikes Right, let us destroy you bestilla.  I'm sorry. It's not You it's me I need you for my My hall of fame my hall of i've defeated you many times This is not you. It is me right kablam. They're dead They're dead boom Bye-bye easy peasy easy peasy um I'll probably do this for another about 20ish minutes And then I need to go because I've got work this afternoon So I need to have a shower and get changed And also write a little bit more of script for pirates 101 story so far Before I leave so many things to do not enough time nine This will be 12 Time for 12 of them lovely Mama Right crit and they did and they are dead Goodbye boom Amazing amazing and Bestilla sword. Oh unique love to say it Love to say it. My storm would love me for this. However, I cannot give it to him. He has to get it himself. Ha ha ha ha how to click monster enemies wrong monster type For the um For the fire elf They don't have a monster type. I don't think Pretty sure the fire elves do not have a monster type. The fire elves do not have a monster type I wish everything had a monster type that we could anim animise Unstrologize. I think that would be cool I really think that would be cool I really wish they would do more with monstrology That would be cool. That would be very cool if they could Or at least make more more creatures available to be monstrologized I think personally every single creature in the spiral should be able to be monstrologized and like put into the monstrology tone I feel like that would be a good idea.  Yeah We're gonna go up to 18 monster type human I think they'll do like monster type elf or something I think that's probably more likely Um Unless they bring out dark more and then monster type human that may be more likely Probably most likely I would say but yeah, I do think that they need to Create if or make a few more of the monster types Like available to be monstrologized. I feel I think that would be cool They would create extra elf people extract him in exactly exactly. I feel like it would be extra elf, but then also there's not many elves around the game so Perhaps it's a more of a thing of perhaps they should be starting to like expand Expand the Current monster types a little bit more like creating more things that fit those types Perhaps right one more one more And then we can win Then we will win and all would it be good all will it be good?  Where is the blue ninja pig ninja tunnel? Honestly make sense We can also get the other ninja pigs as well while we're there and then we need To get be bug which I think is at the end of that tunnel I think Right that should be all of bestilla Yep, blue ninja pig We need And be bug we need as well And it's free time. He enjoys painting Fired for stealing proprietary garbage out of company dumpsters. He was forced into a life of crime unlucky unlucky Where's the ninja tunnel? Okay, that's on the other side of that Let's quickly Change this up a little bit Because these guys are getting strong We need one of those Then we'll put in another blade as well in a frenzy. I'm not taking any chances I'd prefer the fight to take long then for me to fail That should be good That should be good. I might even put in the shipper falls just in case um, where's the shipper falls? What am I looking for shipper falls?  I went the wrong way It is what way are we going? I'm so disorientated this way so disorientated Geez Um, right ninja pig tunnel not this one Not this one, but this one. I think ninja tunnel Yeah, ninja tunnel cool um I saw a tweet about the new teaser since monkeester will probably be trying to colonize nervous I think monk position will be present too. I think so as well. It just lines up a little bit too perfectly Um, yeah Don't think these guys resist me Oh, they do resist me. I should have known that they're um Red ninja pig does he resist me? He does resist me. Okay. Okay. Cool Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool His pain. This is actually purple and orange. I assume these guys would resist me as well probably Their shadow most shadow resists like a hundred million percent to sort to death. So Probably resists me Let's be honest here Um Yeah, I think I think I think the monk position will be an interesting an interesting discovery for us, I would think Or I was it at least because I was it hasn't really like been in contact with too many monkeys Let alone the monk position itself That's more of a pirate problem whereas I feel like Since it's pretty much entangled with the government of monkeester perhaps Perhaps it'll be A little bit more crucial for us to sort out and deal with Not sure because the only other time we've ever met monkeys in whiz is a nas teka in salt meadow swamp Um, how they got to salt meadow swamp. I still don't quite understand because like it's not really like close to Anything really But hey, that's fine That's fine Um, oh no, we're fine. We fine. We got them. We got them, which is good. I'm like were they resisting me then? A little bit but not much Right, cool. Lovely two purple ninja pigs and also xp. That's a lot of xp Only two though oof Honestly, since we're getting xp Let's just drop a triple animus real quick Just real fast Let's just drop a triple animus Sounds good Sounds good. We'll get these ones And then we're probably gonna have to I'm gonna have to go But yeah napologon promise wants to govern the water of life would Be there so he would leave So he could leave monkeester so kuthe isn't napologon could have less enemies to face true Fair enough But then at the end of the day, why the heck would they trust napologon? Like let's be honest why? Don't quite understand that at all Don't quite understand why they would just blindly trust um napologon We encounter monkeesters and polaris very briefly too true True true true monkeester and polaris have similar influences as well um because obviously monkeester is more spanish orientated whereas polaris is more Russia wrench ish sort of stuff um Which is really interesting blend am I gonna be able to kill? I feel like yes Um, we stunned anyway cool. Um Yeah But then also monkeester and polaris have been at war Quite a lot in the past so it wouldn't it doesn't surprise me that we meet them there, you know like that's That's perfect perfectly valid perfectly valid Right crit and They did Nope, they're not dead. They are alive still. They are very much alive Great off to say it perfect One of them step. Nope, neither of them are dead easy easy clap Let's just try that again Let's try that again. Shall we we'll just blade into a hurt sounds good Blade into a hit and we will kill and it'll be amazing and cool and good and we're gonna actually probably should We should have probably prismed Definitely should prism now Definitely should prism they have like 70% resist to me. So Prism is kind of crucial Kind of crucial. Do you think that if they never released polaris? Would they have been hesitant to release it today due to you know? I don't think so. I don't think so because it's more of a it's more of a Dig at the russian influence than the wrench influence and it's more like trying to overthrow that So I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing You know, I feel like if it was the other way then yes, definitely, but it's not um I don't see anything wrong with polaris as a world Yeah, exactly So like it's more it's more kind of If it was the other way then yeah, they would probably they would probably They would probably not be as obliged to do that, but it's the french trying to overpower The russian influence. So it kind of makes a little bit more That's a little bit nicer. I guess I don't know. I don't know. But yeah, I don't think I don't think that it would be not released today because I don't think it's necessarily like Painting certain countries and certain ways that are good if that makes sense, you know It is painting one country particularly badly um So I don't think it would be like Terrible Right gg They're hopefully dead They are should be maybe hopefully dead Love to see it. Oof 204. Oh my gosh, that was a lot Whoopsies that was a lot that was a big lot blue ninja pig eight of ten Oh, we only need 10 of these guys. That's good That is very good. I agree with what you're saying. I like past these questions like fair fair enough fair enough Um, what other ninja picks are there? blue red purple purple orange um red purple and orange purple That's four of ten red is eight of ten and orange Orange is five of ten Not too bad Not too bad. We can probably defeat this Pretty quickly and get that Um, we will prism first Prism then double blade Into a hit Sounds good or These elites they are elites Maybe not double blade Frenzy blade Maybe into a hit Another question that has to do with was in general is would they have dark more gear be the same if it was released? In present day, or would they have the current game model? It would have the current game model It would a hundred percent not be the same hundred percent Because dark more gear is A complete mistake Like an absolute mistake some of I saw a picture of some of the um The new chrysalis gear and it's like pretty good like it's basically like dark more but slightly Worse in some stats and slightly better than others Like it's insane the wands for starters are way better than the dark more wands because the dark more wands The melee wand only gives ps basically. Um, that is rude. That is so rude of you. Please cease um and and they give like Like 13 14 damage to most schools Which is ridiculous Like kind of crazy Yeah, the dark more storm road still holds up most of the most of the robes hold up The wands are like better than this guy in arsta and better than dark more because It does more damage than Totally just ps Because ps is great, but at low levels doesn't really like it's not really like crucial It's not really crucial because if you're going up against the boss If you're going up against the boss, it's easier to just carry a prism Than it is to have a high ps If that makes sense So you don't really need a wand that gives 10% ps Don't get me wrong in certain situations. It's a great wand, but for most of them It's not great. Most situation is not really great. Did I kill that pig? I don't think I killed that pig. I think I killed one of them I didn't kill either of them oof Man they took away my blades and now I am dead Not quite dead, but now I am set very upset. How much do we get from this with double enemies? Six each Six each not too bad That should be enough to get these up to a hundred percent collected Or a hundred percent of what we need collected. Um, we will blade and then hit Hopefully they don't enfeeble me next Watch them do that. That'll be funny. That'll be super funny if they just enfeeble me next And by super funny, I mean super unfunny It'll be very not cool Very very not cool Ka-blam Stop shielding Shields are not cool Cease Cease this Oh my gosh Absolutely ridiculous Right Hopefully this kills Hopefully What is this? It's just a blade. Hopefully yes it is. I thought that was going to be a shield for a second. I'm like no No, please don't do that Do not do that. All right crit Boom don't block. I know you want to block, but just don't just this once don't block. Thank you Thank you for not blocking your participation is thanked Right, hopefully that's both of them dead Yeah, that's cool. Lovely Ho ho monstrology level There you go 204 love to say it level 19 monstrology cool Cool Very exciting And that should be purple and orange collected Orange is here Collected and purple is collected as well So now we just need balloon red which should be this too and done Let me just need to get the the bug Be bug man. Don't know if we're going to be able to do that today Because I need to leave a bit and he probably um Needs like 20 I would say this the bug Is in shredders tunnel And roach steady He can also be animi animus did monstrologize My favorite word monstrologized. He is an insect as well lovely Um need 10 animus for that and 20 no 10 Oh Two fights of that and we can do it I was because both of them elites Okay, easy. Don't stun me. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh, we can probably finish off bees today That'll be cool And then we can start on seas next time Which are just clockwork golem and cyclops legion here Literally only two That will be good That'll be very good Very very cool and good 55 shield. No, thank you No, thank you No, no, no, no No, no, no Don't do this to me right Um this I kind of want to get another blade just in case Just in case because they both have brace and shield. So might as well get another blade Just to counterbalance that real fast That would be better betterer Pip conserved stop conserving pips. It is not cool or good. We're a lot half health as well slightly worrying Slightly worrying Slightly worrying Let's get going. This should hopefully probably maybe kill if not. We can instantly hit with a um What's it called a shipper falls next round And that should kill because this will do a lot of damage. I would say Yeah, they should both be dead now Plus we're now full health again, which is great Are we getting any more exp? Are we too high level for these guys?

This is a little gift I get for Easter. Rama, eight-year-old girl that she made this soil statue is supposed to look like me. She put her hair and that supposed to be my hair. I thought I got flowers, so maybe it was not me, it's her. It's all right, I can look like this.


And good morning, everyone. I hope you've been enjoying the presentation so far. And as you just heard, my name's Michael Caddy, and I'm an engineer on the Service New South Wales website team. I'm going to talk to you a bit today about how we're using our Drupal site as a content store for a number of our product teams at Service New South Wales. And I've been at Service New South Wales now for a little bit over two years, and I've only been into the office a handful of times. Is anyone else in a similar situation or has a similar story? A few of us? Okay, that's good. I'm glad I'm not the only one. So to give you a bit of context about Service New South Wales and what we do and the environment that we operate in, I'll just tell you a little bit about us. And Service New South Wales' vision is to provide every person, business, and community with a world-class experience, accessing the services and support that they need from the New South Wales government. We are a one-stop shop for delivering services to customers, businesses, and our partner agencies. And our mission includes rapid product delivery for crisis response and recovery, including payments and economic stimulus. And across government we work with around 70 agencies to deliver approximately 1,300 services on behalf of our partners. And as of now, there are 113 service centres located across the state with 70 of those in regional New South Wales. And Service New South Wales is a single contact point for transport for New South Wales and births, deaths, and marriages transactions. And a transaction, as we call them, government services that can be accessed online over the phone or in person at a service centre.  And not to mention everyone's favourite, applying for vouchers. So we had creative kids and active kids and you could also apply for Dine and Discover vouchers during the pandemic. And these transactions alone, they ensure a steady flow of traffic to the website from anywhere between four to seven million site visitors every month. And it wasn't so long ago that in New South Wales you needed to check in and check out of venues to assist with contact tracing and overseas and international visitors, sorry, overseas and interstate visitors. They could also do this via a website. And this slide might bring back a few memories for the New South Wales residents. And all of this means is that Service New South Wales is a recognised brand. It's something that most New South Wales residents are familiar with. And that carries a fair amount of responsibility for us and how we approach our work, what we prioritise and the care factor that we apply to every single line of code. So while some select transactions continue to require a visit to a service centre, many transactions have moved to online or are moving to online services or digital products. So you can do all of those things like renewing your driver's licence without any face-to-face interaction in a lot of cases. And I'm old enough to remember going to being forced to go to the RTA, waiting for what seemed like hours at your seat, waiting for your number to be called up to approach the desk. And thankfully that hasn't been the case for a long time now. And you only need to visit a service centre in some situations. In addition to being known for providing great customer service, Service New South Wales has delivered a reputation for being agile and responsive. And Service New South Wales has played a critical role in disaster response and recovery over the past few years. And for our current team, it started in September 2019 when we had bushfires, which carried through to March 2020 when COVID hit. We then had a mouse plague and when drought ended, floods began. So if we have an alien invasion next, we're going to be well prepared. However, in all seriousness, during COVID, our site traffic increased significantly and it doubled at times. And many residents relied on our website for critical information and support during this period. The digital services team at Service New South Wales has grown significantly over the past few years. And we work in multi-disciplinary teams where engineers or developers sit alongside designers and content designers and product managers. And there's a large number of technologies used across digital services and new applications are mainly written in React on the front end and Java in the back end. And for Service New South Wales, digital transformation is continuous. We're always looking at ways how we can improve. So you might be wondering where Drupal fits into all of this. And Drupal powers www.service.nsw.gov.au. And it serves as a front door for all of the services that are offered, be it online or via digital kiosks in our service centres. The website's also used for frontline staff to assist customers with transactions and for information. And the team's been using Drupal since the Service New South Wales website was launched in 2013, which was on Drupal 7. We've since moved to Drupal 8 and now we're running Drupal 9. The website's part of Service New South Wales's omnichannel approach that gives customers access to services 24-7. And it's critical to the functioning of the agency. It's the glue that holds everything together. And our site consists of various content types that perform specific functions such as content pages, campaigns and guides and many more. And the wide range of products at Service New South Wales, they're not siloed and they don't exist independently. They utilise shared functionality such as proof of identity and authentication through the My Service New South Wales account. They also share common components and many are built using a gel, a gel framework, a global experience language. And Microservices Architecture is baked into the DNA of the organisation. Product teams are very used to creating APIs and calling APIs and that's very much second nature. And all of these apps or products, they need to move quickly in responding to rapidly changing customer and stakeholder needs. And Drupal is the only customer-facing enterprise-grade CMS at Service New South Wales. So as such, other product teams have been encouraged to leverage off the CMS capabilities that Drupal offers, particularly the ability to store content reliably and retrieve it via an API, which I'm hoping this slide here demonstrates. The website team is responsible for running the public website, which is a heavily customised Drupal 9 site. I would describe it as hybrid Drupal, and I also heard the term yesterday partially decoupled. And we're using decoupled elements through the site, such as the store locator, which you can see on this slide. That's an embedded React app that pulls in store entities via JSON API. And the team is multi-disciplinary and in the development team sits alongside a content design team and a product design team. The website carries a heavy content design workload and the content designers work hard to keep the site at a lean 3,900 published pages. And over the past 12 months, the team has averaged 1,830 page edits with 1,070 block edits, so that's every month. And to put that into perspective, that's roughly a change every five minutes. And the team's also archived 507 pages. So considering our site is transactional and barely contains any imagery, that editing effort ensures that our content is kept current, accurate, and up-to-date. So how can Drupal be used to benefit the other product teams in the organisation? And as Service New South Wales expands its functionality, its capability and scalability to deliver new services and content as we saw as seen during the various statewide emergencies, such as bushfires and pandemics, the agency needs to be able to deliver new services quickly. And it's envisaged that having content stored in a CMS, it allows for rapid delivery of content to any device and dramatically reduces the time to market. And for almost all product teams at Service New South Wales, any change requires a deployment. And the lead time for getting these approved via the change approval board, it can be as much as three days, unless it's an emergency change request. Some product teams have fixed release schedules, so out-of-cycle deployments need direct level approval to proceed. And deployments also need to happen after hours, unless it's urgent. So it's often after 10pm or could be midnight for really high volume transactions. So deployments, there's a lot of process involved and they can be resourced and they incur a cost as overtime needs to be involved is incurred. And other product teams might need to be brought in for other rounds of testing if there's shared components or other integration. So for simple changes where it might just be a small text change, this sort of deployment process, it can be overkill. So some typical use cases for using the CMS for other product teams. It might be for text snippets such as terms and conditions block or for error messages. It might be for form control elements or for graphics or icons. And team storing content in Drupal, they get all the benefits of a CMS, such as scheduling content to be published or archived at certain times. They get revisions, so changes can be tracked over time. And often content is entered using a rich text editor. So changes can be made by non-developers outside of release windows. So how we manage all of this content is with the micro content module. And the micro content module is a lightweight contributed module that was developed by Lee Rowlands for one of previous next clients. The code is of high quality, so it's very stable. There are lots of automated tests. So we can have a lot of confidence in using this module. The issue queue is actively monitored by the maintainers, most of whom are here this week at the conference or presenting later today. And micro content allows you to create micro content types or bundles. So you can add your own fields and it allows the creation of custom content models. Micro content is revisionable, so changes can be tracked over time. And micro content entities, they're like nodes in many ways. However they have separate permissions that you can assign to different roles. Micro content is also a good choice for content rendered outside of your main Drupal website as there are no canonical routes. So you can rest easy that when you publish a piece of micro content it's not going to appear accidentally on a website page. And the other big benefit is that micro content appears separately in the administration area of your site. So you can see on this slide here how micro content is petitioned off from your main site's content listing. And this ensures that there's no cross-contamination of regular site content and content used for an external purpose or not being rendered on your Drupal website. So there's no confusion for content editors and the risk of content being accidentally deleted is virtually zero. And as the last screenshot showed you might have seen that the information architecture for our website editors is fairly detailed. Which is fine for our team as they're experienced content designers and they know where everything is. But for other teams, other product teams that only need access to the micro content part of the CMS that view could be a bit overwhelming. So to improve the editor experience of these other teams by simplifying the admin view we've created specific user roles that only have access to certain parts of the CMS. The two new roles we've created are an API editor role and an API publisher role. And editors can only make changes whilst publishers can make changes as well as publish those changes that editors make as well as they make on their own. And we're using a layered permissions approach for these roles which makes them easier to manage as permissions aren't doubled up. So the API editor role contains the lion's share of permissions and that includes all the fundamentals like access to the administration pages access to the administration theme, access to the administration toolbar as well as all the micro content permissions such as access to the micro content dashboard and create micro content, edit micro content. Whereas the publisher role only has maybe a dozen or so permissions which relate to workflow transitions mainly. So this role is deliberately kept lightweight so it's easier to manage. And so here's a view the website team members see with the master publisher role as we call it where you can see how detailed our information architecture is. And this shows the scale and the volume of the types of content that we're managing at Service New South Wales. And just suppose that here's the view that API editors see when they log into the CMS in the administration area which you can see is a lot more streamlined. In addition to specific user roles we're also using a custom workflow and the workbench access module to further restrict what external team users or non-website team uses see what they see and what they can do in the CMS. So you can see here we have a separate workflow for micro content and a separate workflow gives us the flexibility to change workflow states and transitions without impacting the workflow that the site's main content is using so the main content editorial workflow. And it's also another control mechanism to preventing outside team users doing anything with the site's main content as the roles that those users are assigned they only have access to this micro content workflow and they only have transition permissions on that micro content workflow. We're also using the workbench access module to ensure different teams can only access their own content and not content from another team. So workbench access allows you to assign content to sections based on other taxonomies or menus and we're using a taxonomy called API project and this is a shared field that we've added to all of the micro content types as an entity reference field and this ensures that users that belong to team A can only see and edit content belonging to team A and users that belong to team B can only see and edit content that belongs or is marked as belonging to team B. Really important to write quality tests for any of your micro content and workflow configuration just so when you're introducing new features you're not causing any regression so you're alerted when any of your unit tests are failing through a continuous integration tool. We're really keen observers of a test-driven development approach so this is South Wales. And how are the teams fetching their content out of the CMS and they're using JSON API queries and we offer guidance to the other teams about how to best craft these queries as they can end up fairly complicated. They can also return a lot of stuff that might not be needed and so the use of filters is really important and we've created a number of computed fields in addition computed fields to make it easier for these other teams to traverse the API response as some of the entity reference fields can be nested a few levels deep in the API response. So computed fields are convenience fields that we've added to the entity code so a little bit more work on our part but they do help with overall performance. We're also using collections so collection is a micro content type we've created to group micro content items together so they can be retrieved in a single API call so we're not making separate calls to the API. And we also have to be mindful of caching with cloud CDNs such as CloudFront and also with the Drupal cache so have to ensure that we've got lots of test coverage to cover those scenarios. Now quickly to some real-world examples and the first example I've got is for the Service New South Wales for Business team which supports businesses for all stages of their journey and up here on the screen is the Booker call with the business concierge form and this is a React application and everything you can see that I've highlighted with boxes and arrows, they're micro content items that are being pulled in via JSON API including the drop-down items that appear... I don't know if you can see them but the help topics drop-down item, that's all micro content. So the React app then uses its logic to render those items into the correct location in the layout. This here is the collection data entry form where related content or related micro content items they're being grouped together and you can see here they're using entity reference field so it's a multi-cardinality entity reference field. And so here on the screen is the help topics drop-down list which you can see is just a very simple micro content text type and if the Service for New South Wales business team discover they need a new help topic they can do it very quickly without the need to go through that full development and deployment life cycle and it can be done by non-developers and that new feature can be up and live within minutes. The second example I've got is the new Savings Finder application which is another React app and this is a new build of an existing application that has an improved customer experience but this application is not live yet so you won't be able to browse to it and the Savings Finder helps customers find savings that they might not be aware of through a simple multi-step questionnaire and all of the form fields that I've highlighted on this slide with the boxes and arrows again they're coming from Drupal as micro content items and to reduce the load on the API we've similarly grouped these items together in a collection to group customer micro content types together and at the end of the process of the Savings Finder process you're presented with a list of service offerings that you might be eligible for such as vouchers or rebates and again I've tried to highlight on the slide what items are coming from micro content and that includes the icons that appear adjacent to the headings in those offering boxes as the Savings Finder application it was a specific use case we needed to develop custom micro content types to fit the required content model including this question type that I've got up on the screen now and that included a answer options field that was an entity reference to an answer option paragraph type and this is one of those examples where we needed to develop a computed field to surface the data attributes of that field cleanly in the API response just so it makes it a lot easier for the other team that's calling that API to traverse the response we also did a similar thing for the service category icon as well so what's next for us we have a few teams lining up to start using the CMS in this way such as the mobile app team and other grant related products we're continuing to monitor and review our approach just to ensure that the architecture and the solution is scalable and robust as the services that we add grow and so far we've had a few wins and the word is spreading and so far the results have been very positive just quickly, well I've got an audience so I'll be a bit cheeky and just mention that we're recruiting Drupal engineers at the moment so feel free to come and have a chat to me during one of the breaks you'll be helping deliver groundbreaking and innovative services to improve the lives of our 8 plus million customers quick reminder of the code sprint that's happening tomorrow and that brings me to the end


I'm standing in front of the Silvio Conti National Polymer Research Center here at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and this is an example of just one of the new buildings that's been built over the last 25 years as a result of three bond bills that I've been able to help usher through the legislature and this one has an interesting story this bond bill because as a freshman state representative I was getting resistance from the budget committee to undertaking any consideration of a bond bill for higher education and I had pointed out that it had been many years since there had been any money coming to these institutions of public higher education for renewing their physical facilities and in particular if you looked at UMass the average age of a laboratory on the UMass Amherst campus was about 40 years and that they just desperately needed to modernize their labs and their facilities so that they could provide quality education and really keep up with their fields and so there was enormous resistance at the Ways and Means Committee and finally I decided under the rules to collect signatures from my colleagues requesting that the committee release the bill and it took 107 signatures to force the committee to release the bill I chose to stop at 105 members of the House of Representatives and then submitted it to the Ways and Means chair by doing that I basically provide the opportunity for the chair to recognize that there was a very large majority only 81 takes creates a majority in the house and I had 105 who wanted to have this bill move out of committee and so he knew that there was enough interest in the bill that he really didn't have much choice by stopping at the 105 we got the message across but we also didn't force the committee to send the bill out the happy result of this is that a few weeks later the committee decided to release the bill and it produced 188 million dollars in new projects a substantial portion roughly half of that money were for projects on this campus and then about 10 years later I helped get another capital bill through and then right after Governor Patrick came into office I went in to see him and showed him a piece of legislation I had just filed for about 4.4 billion dollars of new construction necessary on our campuses and that would be new construction and renovations and improvements of physical plant and that's because the board of higher education and the UMass system had done a study which demonstrated that they needed to do that much maintenance and repair of the campuses and to build that many new facilities in order to meet the educational needs of the Commonwealth and so now if you go all across this campus you see new integrated science building under construction another one finished you see a renovated building which is the new nursing building nursing program building this polymer science center you see the moral science center and the graduate research center have been significantly improved and renewed you've seen improvements at the fine arts center and a brand new studio arts building the entire telecommunications system all of that networking and all of the wires and for computers and telephones were replaced and renewed and so this campus is now looking more and more like the flagship campus that it really is and this is this is the the one thing that I would have to say is over these 25 years has been the sign of progress around our interest in public higher ed because with each recession funding for public higher education in the state budget has been reduced and after each recession even though the budgets went up and student charges were able to be lowered we were not able to get up to the full amount of funding for the campus required by the formulas so we're going to continue to push for more funding for an affordable quality accessible public higher education here in massachusetts and these new buildings are going to be part of what's going to attract the best faculty best graduate students and the best undergraduates in massachusetts and beyond and those people 80% of those people who attend this school will stay work live raise a family here in massachusetts and contribute to our economy
