Marco Pollo Contest Winner

G'Mornin' Pirates! Yesterday afternoon was my Marco Pollo event.  It had a lot of fun exploring the world of Skull Island while people were trying to find me. I was posting clues to my locations on Twitter throughout the event.  I'm not sure if I will do this in the future or not.  It seemed to make it easier for people to find me and the event didn't last as long.  Anyway, I would like to say thank you to everyone who participated!...

Turret Bosses

G'Mornin' Mateys! Recently I had a chance to try out the new turret bosses in the skyways during an NXP event and then solo as well.  First let me recap what a turret boss is.  Here is Kingsisle's description of them taken directly from the update notes:           We've noticed our players enjoy grouping up to fight ships together, so we've added three new turret bosses to the game that are meant to be a multiplayer...

Autumn Walker - Crokagator (Bounty) Hunter

Ahoy! The last time I posted about my questing, I had finished the Marleybone main quests and was getting ready to head to Aquila.  However, I decided that first I would finish up the extra side quests that had become available.  There were several that I found, but my favorite was for Crokagator Dundee!  Here are some pictures: When I talked to Crokagator Dundee, he needed help getting his "knife" back from the Crokagators,...

The Wreck of the Victory

Ahoy! It's time for another questing update! When I left off before, my crew and I were going to track down Admiral Nelson who had gone to intercept the Armada in the skyways.  Well, when we got there, it was a mess!  Admiral Nelson and his crew had been pretty much blown out of the...um...sky.  And they had been captured!  But never fear! Super Autumn Walker and crew were there to save the day! This is the dungeon where we...

Construction or Destruction?

G'Mornin' Mateys! My witchdoctor is almost to the very last quest in Marleybone!  After I helped save the Isle of Fetch from the Armada, I was given a quest to go talk to a guy about the construction of some golems.  These golems would help the war efforts a lot! First I had to track down a bunch of missing parts.  Of course this led to many battles on land and in the skyways!  Everything went pretty smoothly, and I am happy...
