I Had a Scrip(t) For This Test Realm Post

Ahoy, pirates! Test Realm came out several days ago, and I've been, well, testing it and figured I put my own two gold pieces in on the latest upcoming updates:

1- Shipyards- This is a really nice concept. All those ships that you no longer use and that you are keeping basically for show, can now actually be shown off at your houses. You can only put out 5 at a house, But hey if you're like me, you have plenty of houses to use.

2- Companion Placement- I'm on the fence about this one. You can place your companions in your houses, if you so choose. This would have been good before advanced companions, but now that all the comps can serve a purpose, I don't really see a need to take them off the current roster of shipmates, unless there is going to be some sort of crew capacity coming in the future. I have 3 pages of companions so this might actually be a good thing ;)

3-Ship Cabins- Your ships can FINALLY have a cabin. Frank, fire the confetti cannons and drop the balloons! Frank? Nevermind him. I have always wanted to go below deck. My only complaint is it's one cabin for all the boats, so different boat cabins will all be decorated the same. That said, however, the decorative items for the cabins are fantastic.

4- Black Market- This has the biggest controversial part of this TR. The Black Market has come into play and with it, its own currency known as scrips. Scrips can be found in various ways. Most notably, turret and boss ships, and the Smuggler's Arena, which can be bought in the crown shop and placed in your house. The problem with Scrips has been the obtainability compared to the prices of the items in the market. I think the concept is interesting, but it needs to be tweaked.

Conclusion: I think this TR has some interesting concepts and with some ironing out and tweaking, these updates can lead to some new gameplay twists and I'm looking forward to seeing how they are implemented further into the game.

Captain Logan starts with his first post!

Ahoy! Of course most of ye know me, And some not! My name is Logan, A Great Dashing Swashbuckler Questing in Mooshu! Also working on some other pirates, I did really like the idea of being a blogger here on Pirates Unite, Not for fame, But just because i feel i wanted to share my great experience with you pirates out there, My Favorite companion? Of course with no argument, El Toro is the best! So here are 5 Top Things I love about Pirate101

1- Storyline
We all know that the storyline is amazing, Kinda I like that story of an orphan pirate who is just a prisoner for the Armada. Makes me feel it is a true story i made, And I'm living it!

2- Worlds of The Spiral
Some worlds made Pirate101 more Attractive and awesome, Lets be Honest, Marleybone, Home of dogs and Isle of Fetch, Nothing more great than that AMAZING World, Comes after it, Cool Ranch, I know it's horrible for some people, But i love that world because it shows how to be a Hero, Lets not also forget Mooshu! The world of Warriors, Beautiful, From Skyways to the lands there!

3- El Toro
No need to discuss that.... The Great Espirit De Corps Buff, His amazing Hits, he is EPIC!


4- Combat System
First of all, When Pirate101's Wesbite got launched only, I was wondering how the combat system looks like, Will it be hard and confusing? Or easier than i think? But actually when i saw it's a board combat system and simple to use, The game started to get more Exciting in my eyes!

5- Community and Friendships In-Game
Everyone there is so friendly and peaceful than i thought, Even in PvP, I can see the great Congrats and Great Match messages to the winners team from the team lost their PvP Match! Very Friendly!


My Next Projects and Events?
Well these are not announced yet, They're just surprises for now me and Captain Kyle only knows about it ;) But gladly you will love it!


That is all for now, Wait for my Interview with Swordroll This Thursday! Catch y'all later and see ye in th' Skyways!

Where Have I Been? Bean? Bean Salad?

Psssst. It's me. I'm back. I have returned like the shambling undead that I control (just with a little more... life, of course). It's ok. You don't have to cry about it any more... You weren't? Oh well *ahem* this is awkward.... Sooooooooo.... Any way, you are probably wondering (or not) on where I have been. I have been in deep meditation with Cowfucious to come up with some new things to throw at the site to spice it up.... Mmmmmmm. Pumpkin everything. Where was I? Get it? Boy, tough crowd. So in any case look for some interesting new post styles and topics coming. Note I said interesting, not good. Anyone? Sheesh. Well if you're wondering about my Aquila house, I have completely remodeled it and am in the works of making it AWESOME!!. We are also looking for a new blogger as well. So keep yer eye peeled on this site for some new content on the horizon. And as always....

What's Next?

     Hello, Pirates! A little while ago, I finished up Aquila on my swashbuckler, got the 3rd map piece and completed the current string of main-line quests on every school. Today I'll be sharing what I'll be doing until the next world update. Don't worry, I'll still have plenty of posts!

1. Side quests

     My friend always scolds me about not doing my sides, so this'll be the perfect opportunity to work on them. I just finished my swashbuckler's sides a couple hours ago, so now I have my privateer and swashbuckler done and my buccaneer, witchdoctor, and musketeer to go. That's still 82 pages with 24 on my witchdoctor, 25 on my buccaneer, and 33 on my musketeer, heh. But hey, I finished 27 pages on my swashbuckler in about half a week.

My favorite quest in the game: Propaggrandizing.

2. Moo Manchu Runs

    The same friend that scolds me to do sides also does many Moo Manchu runs with me - sort of ironic considering I should be working on my sides. I plan to at least get the "Charmbreaker" badge on my Musketeer and get full sets of clothes on every character.

3. Decorate my swashbuckler's house

     While questing on my swashbuckler I had too much gold, so I decided to buy the Rake's Lagoon (swashbuckler) house. I hope to decorate this and post a housing showcase just like I did with my other characters.

4. Practice some PvP

     Just like in my Summer Gaming Goals post (Click HERE if you haven't read it), I want to acquire more skill at PvP. I hope to bring more guides to the site to help our supportive viewers to PvP. (I have to update the witchdoctor one, now that I think of it). I'd also like to try team PvP on my Privateer. I've only done 1v1 on Pirate101 so far.

5. Work on a good pet

     So far I've gotten Sneaky Sneaky 3 on a pet (combined 2 and 1 talents), Merciless 2, grants bladestorm, and some other pretty good talents for a pet, but none are really my "dream pet." I'd like a pet that has charming gaze 2, and grants elusive, turn the tide, and bladestorm. I'd like the same pet for ranged units, only it grants extra base health instead of bladestorm. It'll be a lot of work, and it'll definitely take a long while.

     That's what's to come from me in the future! Have anything else that you suggest I do in-game? Please comment below! Fair sailing, Pirates!

Happy Birthday Pirate101!

So I have some very exciting news! If you didn't know Pirate101 is now 2 years old! Its so exciting! It feels like as if the game was opened to the public yesterday. I remember starting with my first Witch Doctor Isabella, of course she is now retired but still quite a memory. If you have been keeping up with Pirate101's twitter feed, you would know they had a livestream to celebrate! If you missed that or wanna watch it agin, its now available to rewatch on their twitch channel or Youtube I believe. There were a few prizes given out, questions answered, and of course cool stuff that was shown to us and is so cool!

So as a gift to us amazing players, they posted a code for a birthday eye patch, party hat, and a 1 day prancing pony rental mount for all their players! check it out at the link below and claim yours before November 2nd :) You can see what they look like below. I love that they brought the items back since they were given away before and its the perfect time to give them away now.

My baby WD, isn't she cute?

And other stuff. Avery's Court is covered in decorations black and orange just for Halloween. I love it so if you didn't get a chance, go check out how pretty Avery's Court is. There are also presents around you can open but it seems pirates had looted them before we found them. Oh well, we still get to open presents, that's the fun part of any birthday party right? :)

I've been working on my new WD, Crazy Destiny Vinter, and now she is level 15 and in Chapter 7, which I have to buy since I'm a crowns player, but its worth it. So I'll be coming back with more posts soon. Pets and stuff, I'm working on training my Hoggle to level 65 which is gonna take a while, but I'm getting there slowly.

Until next time my fellow pirates, ship captains, and Armada crew :) Be safe and have a fun time sailing the skies.
