Daedalus' errands

Ahoy everyone! Again, I'm truly sorry for the delayed post. My life has been crazy busy, but I hope to get back into Pirate101 soon.

Anyway, when we last left off, I was told I had to find a hero named Thessseusss if I wanted to find Argos, and my next piece of the treasure map. Argos has the map piece, but he is underground, hunting the Minotaur with Thessseusss in Daedalus' giant maze, the Labyrinth. He is willing to surrender a key to you, but for a price; you need to go get him some things. The series of quests is a little bit tougher than just going to the dry cleaning and picking up his laundry: he wants you to recover his plans for one of his new inventions from some pesky centaurs, some iron ore off the ground, and a hammer from a boss, Cyclopean Anax. The dungeon with the cyclops is not very difficult, with only 2 fights, so I was able to solo it with some difficulty. The enemies there are mostly, if not all, buccaneer, so plan accordingly. After that, you acquire the key to the Labyrinth, but the entrance is under the Hall of Minos, on Knossos. Unfortunately, the place is infested with vultures, and your very first quest as soon as you land on the island is to defeat some of them. After that, its on to a variety of tough dungeons. Yay.

Pirate101 Sneak Peeks!

Ahoy there!

Pirate101 released yet another sneak peak today! Third one this month! I sense a new update coming soon... If you haven't seen the sneak peeks yet,  we have all three of them for you to see. 

Sneak Peek #1

Bonnie Anne: “The Ancient Ones aren’t the only ones who’ve gone. He’s gone . . . gone completely barmy, Captain!”

Released on 11/1/2013

Sneak Peek #2

"Hmm . . . What could bring such a grand occasion?" - Pirate101

Released on 11/5/2013

 

Annnd...

Sneak Peak #3!

"Hola, tiny Captain! I seek passage with you!" - Carcarius Grimtooth

Released on 11/8/2013

These images seem to be very different from each other, making it hard for me to make a good guess of what this next update will bring.  #1 is a crazy old man, #2 is a very fancy place, and #3 is some sort of shark in what appears to be the Witchdoctor school. Perhaps they're separate updates? I can't wait to see what it is, it should be interesting!

Leave a comment below with your best guess(es) on what you think this next major update will be!

Happy Sailing young pirates!

New Pirate101 Teaser!

Ahoy there! 

Today Pirate101 released a little teaser of what's possibly to come, via their Twitter page!

Pirate101: "Hmm . . . What could bring such a grand occasion?"

Did you notice that eagle back there? At first I thought he was wearing a hat... but after taking a closer look, he appears to be holding some sort of Colosseum. 

Some guesses from the Twitter Community:

- Pirate101 Ship PvP? - Kelsey FireHeart

- Musketeer-related update? - Swordroll

- Thanksgiving Quest? - Kelsey FireHeart

- Aquila-related? - Nicholas LionRider

- Gladia Portitrix as the new PvP tutor? - Kelsey FireHeart
- Dungeon Challenge based off of the Colloseum in Hercules? - Johnny 

What do you guys think it will be? Leave a comment below with your guess(es)! 

Quick update from Perilous Oliver Paisley

Ahoy there! I know it's been a really long time since I've come up with a post, and I am truly sorry about it. Life has been incredibly busy with school and extracurricular activities, so, unfortunately, my posts will have to be more spaced out. My plan is to have a post ready every weekend, my free days. Again, I'm sorry for the lack of blog posts, but now that I have a routine and school has begun to settle down, I hope I can be more active on the blog and Pirate101.

Site Updates

Ahoy there!

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!
