Those 5,000 crowns are a great prize, considering the new items in the crown shop that you can work for - these include the Great Hornocerous! Wolf Shadowstrider was kind enough to let me ride his!

For those of you in the US, take a look at the above item! The UK commonly has unique items in the Crown Shop, including these Blacksmith Tongs!

A message regarding Gift Cards from Thrace:

Hello Wizards, 

The Sainsbury's Wizard101 UK gift cards pet has been updated! You will now get a Hulking Cyclops pet for the month of June.

The Friendly Dragon has flown away. Though if you can find someone with one, you can hatch and get the Buddy Dragon hybrid from them still. 

Have fun! 

This gift card is available to buy in UK and can only be redeemed for Wizard101 UK.
