NXP Party: Amber Hoard Ships

Hey again everyone! I just want to announce the results of the poll, as well as my next event.  First, the poll.  It looks like the overwhelming majority of you would like me to have events on a weekly basis.  So.....once a week it is :)  I am going to switch them to Friday evenings though. Having said that, the next event will be this Friday, February 1.  I am going to make this party a little earlier, at 4:30pm EST.  And due to popular demand at my last NXP party, we will be fighting Amber Hoard Ships in Subata...

Gold Rush Event

Ahoy! Last night was the Gold Rush event aka farming Friar Sand for lots and lots of gold!  Quite a few people came and we had a good time.  Well....At least everyone seemed to have a good time :) I started out with about 12k gold and ended the night maxed out.  I'm not sure what I will spend it on yet, but I am sure I will figure out something.  Maybe housing items or something!  I didn't get a chance to take pictures,...

Imperial Lion Pet

Hey there fellow Pirates! I have some news to share today.  Over the weekend, I got this super awesome pet on Pirate101, an Imperial Lion.  A friend of mine had one, and I decided to make it my goal to get one. He looks kind of like the Wizard101 Foo Dog. And here are his stats at level 50: This pet is a reward for getting this badge: Now I will be honest with you.....I don't really know how to get this badge.  Well, not...

All Grown Up!

Ahoy! I have finally gotten all of my companions to level 50 and higher!  This was a huge goal for me to accomplish.  When I started farming for gold to buy training tomes, I had only 6 or 7 companions at that level.  Now, all 28 are!  It took a lot of work, and a lot of gold, but here they are! As you can see, some of them are higher than level 50. This is because I got them after I had already reached max level.  It...

Gold Rush Preview

Ahoy! Three days until the Gold Rush Event! If you haven't heard about it yet, you can see the post here: Gold Rush Event. I have been farming Friar Sand (the guy we will farm at the event) for a few days now, trying to get gold to train up all my companions.  He is fairly easy to fight, and the battles go pretty quickly, because you only have to defeat him, not his minions.  I have gotten so much gold (around 600k total) as well...

Gold Rush Event!

Ahoy me hearties! D'ye need a new ship? Or d'ye be wantin' a place fer keepin' yer loot?  All these thin's be costin' lots o' gold! Okay, that's the extent of my pirate talk for now.  What I am trying to say is that pirates need lots and lots of gold!

I Cannot Tell a Lie....

....I did it with my hatchet.  Okay, well maybe my companions helped too.  And maybe we used swords instead of hatchets.  And you might be wondering what I am talking about right now.  Well, here's the thing.  Me and my companions did something bad.  We cut down a whole bunch of trees......Treants to be exact.  I had a couple of side quests in Mooshu that required me to fight Treants.  I know I haven't been...

The Supa Dupa NXP Party!

Ahoy! Wow, the NXP party last night was great!  It lasted from 6:30 until......well I don't really know. I had to leave at 9:40 and there was still around 10 or so people there!  Thanks to everyone who came!  If you couldn't come, don't worry, because I am planning on having lots more events in the future! My favorite part of the party was all the great pirates I got to add!  So many people showed up! I think at one point there...

Packs and Contests

Ahoy! I know that I am a few days late with this post, but Kingsisle released a new pack called The Tribal Crew Pack.  I wont go into too much detail about it, because I know you have probably already heard all about it from other sources, but I will say it is a really great pack.  The drop rates for mounts, pets and gear are awesome!  However, it is much harder to get the new companions.  I had a chance to open 5 packs, and...

The Amazing Celestial Dragon!

I did it! I got my Celestial Dragon pet!  Thank you everyone who gave me advice. With your help, and help from the all powerful Google, I managed to figure it out!  If you haven't gotten yours yet, read on to find out how :) Step 1: Promote your companion To get the Celestial Dragon pet, you need to train your starting companion to level 46, and then complete its second promotion.  I had finished this part a couple weeks ago. Here...

Two Steps Forward

Hey there fellow pirates! (and wizards too) The other day I had listed a few goals for my witchdoctor. (You can see the list here.) Well I am here to say that I have met 2 of those goals!  Keep reading to find out which two :) Cat Ninja Companion I completed the quest "The Silk One" and at the end, I received my cat ninja companion. The coolest part is that since I was already level 50 when I got her, that makes her level 52......which...

Coming to Pirate101 (Maybe)

Ahoy Pirates! Today I would like to talk a little bit about some features I would like Kingsisle to add to Pirate101. While this is a great game so far, it definitely has room to expand.  And I have no doubt that Kingsisle already has at least some of these ideas in the works already.  So anyway, here we go, in no particular order, a list of the top 10 things I would like to see added to Pirate101 this year! A Bazaar-type area:  I don't know what the pirate equivalent of this would be, but some type of auction house would definitely...

To Be Continued.....

Yeah, so you may remember Autumn Walker the Witchdoctor from a couple posts back. Well......she has completed the main story line on Pirate101!  Or at least, she has completed the part that has already been released.  I can't wait to see what happens next and what the new world will be whenever it is released! Now, I'm not going to go into too much detail about what happens for now, mostly because I know many of my readers haven't completed...

Pirate101 Crafting

Ahoy Mateys! One of my favorite things in Wizard101 is crafting.  I love the challenge of finding the right reagents to make something I can use in game.  Pirate101 doesn't have any type of crafting, but I hope they add it in the future. It would be really cool to be able to craft not just gear and weapons to help with game play, but also ships and ship parts.  And of course we can't forget about houses and housing items! I have been thinking about it, and while any type of crafting would be cool, I have come up with some ideas...

Pirate101 Glitches

As much as I love Pirate101, it is still new, and a work in progress.  There have been many "bugs" and glitches reported since it was released to the public, and I have to say that Kingsisle is pretty quick about fixing them. They are definitely an amazing game team! Sometimes these bugs and glitches can be annoying (not being able to pick up a quest, quest arrow not working right, etc) but sometimes they can be kinda cool, and make for interesting...
