I just wanted to alert you about the changes made to That Swashbuckler tonight (10/23/13). 

1. As you probably noticed, there are now skulls falling from the top of the site. (If this bothers you, scrolling down a bit will make the skulls stop falling). This will last until 11/1/13.

2. A new poll! Located at the right side of the blog. This poll will last until 10/30/13 and the question is "What do you want Kingsisle to add to the Crown Shop?".



3. A new cursor! The "Pirate's Sword" cursor should stay until the end of November.


4. And lastly, if you want to look back at some of the older posts, scroll all the way down to the bottom and use the Numbered Page Navigation feature!


Happy Sailing young pirates!

Let's Get To Know Brave Alex Richmond

Ahoy there!

I know most of you know pretty much know nothing about my pirate, and I think that should change. So how about we get to know him a bit?

Brave Alex Richmond is a level 48 Swashbuckler currently questing in Mooshu. He wears a really ugly outfit and refuses to stitch because he can't make up his mind on what to stitch to. 



I guess the Pennyfarthing mount looks pretty cool. I'm glad we agree on that because no matter how many times I tell him to buy a new mount he always says no..he seems to have more fun on his bike than he should though..especially ever since we removed his training wheels!



Oh, do you see that cool ship in the background? It's his! Well maybe it's not so cool..he himself actually has more health than his ship! He doesn't like to listen to me, but when it comes to buying a new ship, he's already sailing to the nearest ship vendor. Unfortunately he  doesn't have that much gold at the moment, which is pretty sad since we've been questing all day, oh well, just need about 10,000 more! We've been looking for ship vendors and as we were doing that we stumbled upon a really nice ship. He's been staring at it ever since! 



He also managed to take a look inside!..until he got kicked out by the owner. He got pretty mad and things didn't go too well for the owner..and yeah, I've been taking him to anger management classes, okay?



Aww, Monkey King ruined the picture! Well speaking of Monkey King, that's his newest companion! He really loves this companion, he tested him out in one battle and then immediately put him as his first mate. He doesn't like his name though..the monkey gets to be the king and he's just a captain..so he changed his name to "Funky Monkey", don't tell him, but in my opinion, I liked Monkey King better. 



Another  one of  Alex's favorite companions is Sarah Steele. Especially since we finally got to complete her promotion quest.





Okay, how about we talk about his stats? He's really proud of them and he wanted to share them with you. They're not the best, but we're working on it! 



Well most of it is awesome..except for one little thing. Can you guess? Oh, too lazy to guess? Okay, I'll just tell you. His horrible nautical level!! His level is 47, but his nautical level is 26..that's not good. As a matter of fact we died at least 10 times today trying to defeat Amber Horde Ships, glad we got that over with. By the way, if you're reading this, do you know of any nautical XP parties or events? Comment below! He's got his nautical XP boost elixirs waiting to be redeemed! 

Four Hours Worth Of Nautical XP Boost Elixirs!

Oh and another thing he's proud of and wanted to share; his house! Yes, a house! Sadly not one of the class houses (he never has gold), but it's a house! The Volcano Island!



He was lucky enough to get the BoochBeard bundle before it had to leave back when P101 first launched, so that's cool! Yes, he's had this house since October 2012. He's had it for about a year, and guess what? He hasn't even decorated it at all! Not even one housing item! I don't know what he's doing, but maybe he has some secret house decorating skills he'll unleash soon.

Well that's all he's willing to tell about himself! Leave a comment if you have any questions for him. He'd be happy to answer them ASAP!

Cya in the Spiral!

Finding Argos

The mighty eagles have finally conquered the city of Troy, but our side still endured heavy losses. Sadly, Eagiles has fallen, downed by the Ophidians. We won the egg, which turned out not to be what we expected. I also finally recovered the sacred water that the Oracle requested, and recruited another companion in the process. The Oracle, now with her sight restored, tells me that she still can't locate Argos. She is, however, able to direct me to someone who might know where he is. Before I can talk to them, I need to sacrifice my memories of my first 5 years after I was born. They inform me that I need to find Thessseusss. Before I can do that, I need to travel into the giant underground maze, created by Daedalus. More dark areas, most likely filled with monsters. Oh joy.

Entertaining an eagle and taking Troy!

After gathering the food ingredients for the feast that Eagilles requested before he goes to combat, it was my job to go and gather the grape juice to drink, and to find a source of entertainment for during the meal. Sadly, the greatest writer of odes in Aquila, Pandion, has been captured by the vultures and is being held for ransom. Once I rescued Pandion, he informed me that I needed someone to sing the ode. Unfortunately, my crew isn't exactly American Idol-class singers, so I need to try to convince Orpheus to sing during the feast. Orpheus is unavailable, about to go on the ship the Argo. Even though he can't perform, he tells me there is something called the Lyre of Apollo, which will give anyone the ability to sing. Not surprisingly, getting the lyre requires me to go into a cave, beat up some ettins, and steal it from Khagan, who guards it. Now it's time for feasting!

Once Eagilles has eaten, drank, and listened to the beautiful singing of Bonnie Anne, Ratbeard, and El Toro, he is impressed, and agrees to go into battle and help siege the city of Troy. Now all we need to do is find a way through the thick, high walls of Troy. To get in, the Aquilan engineers decide to build a giant wooden mouse with a compartment full of soldiers, much to the displeasure of El Toro, who would much rather have the engineers build a giant statue of his love, Caballine. Now it's time to sneak into Troy and finally win the war.
