The Academy - part II

The Principal Mage just announced that there's an opening in the exchange program and you're eager to jump on the opportunity and teach at the Witches and Honourable Banshees university for the next semester. To get the job you have to prove that you're a Goodreads expert and know your way around without a map.

Complete the requirements to apply successfully for the new teaching job. You do not have to complete the requirements in order.

I plan to open a "Hero Academy" thread that would lead newbie adventure..."

Thank you for the help! Some threads are easy to understand thats why I was able to do some basics. Also been reading some suggestions from other players.

I usually read 3-4 books per week. Depends on book length. If romance and thrillers I can finished 5 books a week lol.

Hi everyone, I'm Christene just started playing this month and I forgot to introduce myself. Btw, I'm 29 years old from Philippines and work in hospital as an Occupational Therapists. I'm excited to explore quests and ofc read more books. I've been eyeing this challenge for a long time and just got courage to start it. Nice meeting y'all.

Zuzana wrote: "BTW I missed your post in the Tavern. (task 2) Did you say hi?"

oh I thought it's the same thread with "Hello my name is" quest. I'll do it right now.

I've been checking a few threads for how to start. And it's overwhelming, I'm confused as to what type of quests to start lmao if its midas, healing or potion. I've been eyeing the rabbit task and practice makes perfect.

Congratulations to Queen Skye on the birth of her daughter, Princess Lyra

Finished!
