The Shadow Fortress: So Many Ninja Pigs!

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope you're having a nice weekend! Today I had a chance to quest my Swashbuckler again. I don't like taking long breaks, but it seems that I will be questing a lot the next month as I'm planning on making more Pirate101 posts than I have as of late.

On my last blog post, I had to fight the Monkey King after I returned his staff to him so he could get out of the cage he was locked in. The fight wasn't that difficult but I was still able to make it through. :) Shortly after defeating him, I found a letter from Shunzang The Wize and in that letter he said he wanted me to return to Subata Temple. Once I returned, Shunzang told me that the only way Monkey King would cooperate would be to get The Crown of Command (which commands him to cooperate). Shunzang told me that I would have to fight my way through the Shadow Fortress to put the Crown of Command into Monkey King's helmet and then return that gear to the monkey king.

I actually remembered what the Shadow Fortress was going to be like because I remember questing through this dungeon not long ago on my Witchdoctor. I knew I would have a lot of Ninja Pigs to fight! I think I had to fight about 20 Ninja Pigs (including one last main boss). There really isn't much to say about this dungeon, only that you should have your main companions, yum, and Doubloons if you need help. I soloed this dungeon and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :D Minions from the Crowns Shop also are very helpful since you're able to pick the attacks for them. There are a few fights that you can avoid in this dungeon (shortly after defeating the six Ninja Pigs that are required for one quest in this dungeon). You can avoid those fights by just running around them and that's where you'll meet the boss, Kirigi. This part of the dungeon requires you to only defeat him so you can get all of your attacks ready and attack him as soon as you're ready. Now.. I bet the next few fights will be very difficult because I remember saying many times in the past that I was ready for more dungeons like this. I'll be ready. Nobody can defeat The Cringle!

Shortly after obtaining Monkey King's gear, I had to sail back to Subata Temple to tell Shunzang the good news. Monkey King also arrived to take back his gear and we almost used the Crown of Command on him until he agreed to help us. He told us that he didn't have the Turtle Ball and that somebody else actually had it. Monkey King also said he would help guide me to the Vortex where this boss is located. That's where I decided to stop because I knew I would have a lot to type on this post. :P I love making posts like this, but sometimes it is very hard to remember what happened in the game. I like making posts like this for the storyline and any difficulty I had when questing this character. I hope these posts are also helpful for you. :) Well, it looks like I should take my leave before this post gets too lengthy. By the way, Happy Father's Day to all of the Fathers out there and I hope you have a great day. :) Until next time, I'll see you around the skyways.

OH, and I leveled up to 48 and got Monkey King as a Companion! #WOOT

Daily Blogging?!

Hi there!

Yesterday I planning on making a post as a start of Daily Blogging for an entire week. Emy Anemsalok actually came up with the awesome idea for bloggers to blog for an entire week and it looks like I'll make posts for an entire month - I was planning on doing something like this before anyway - since I'm a day late. I'd like to give a shoutout to Emy for this wonderful idea of daily blogging for a week (http://anemsalok.org/?p=896). :D Keep in mind that this is not my first daily blogging post. I'm going to try to make a post every single day through the 19th of July whether it's Pirate101 or Wizard101 related. I hope you stick around to see what I have planned for this month. This next month is going to be a lot of fun! By the way, if you would like to see the daily bloggers on Twitter, you can search up the hashtag: #OneWeekDailyBlogging for all of their wonderful posts. :)

Farming Rasputin!

Hello Wizards!

It's Thursday! You're not far from Summer Break or the weekend if you're still in school. I've actually been on Summer Break for over a month now and my past two weeks have been spent questing and farming in Wizard101. I've had level 58 gear for awhile, but recently I've been able to farm Rasputin (last boss in Polaris) with Autumn Dreamwalker. :D

Let me first start off by saying that Polaris was an amazing world. My fire and Autumn's life and balance wizards were able to make it to level cap (110) and fight Rasputin. I'm not going to pretend that everything went well the first time around. :P We went through the dungeon before this last dungeon and not one of the bosses cheated! We were pretty happy about that, but I would have loved to know which bosses cheated or didn't cheat before we join battle (Please add that feature, Kingsisle). Once we got to Rasputin, we knew the fight would be tough but not so tough that the minions would cast a Bolt that would do a lot of damage and eventually defeat us. :P We read the guide wrong the first time around! I guess I can say that everyone makes mistakes, and that's okay as long as we learn from our mistakes. :)

We did learn from our mistakes and decided to make up a plan because we didn't want to give up. Our plan involved Autumn using sandstorm on the minions the first round after we would blade and trap my fire wizard (since Rasputin would summon these minions and every round they would transform until they spammed bolt on us and themselves). The blades and traps placed on Rasputin would eventually help defeat him once and for all. Well.. I guess I shouldn't say once and for all because we went through again to get more awesome gear. We were able to collect our Level 110 Deck, Amulet, Boots, and Wands! I guess the purpose of this post is to never give up. You might not get it right the first time, but that doesn't mean you never will if you don't keep trying! Thank you all for reading. Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral. :D

VL2: The King & Queen (Level 65-66)

Ahoy Pirates!

I'm happy Book 15 was finally released to Pirate101's Live Realm. We've been waiting for a long time to quest again and learn more about the Armada. Today I decided to quest again to see where I could get without losing too many of my pirate's companions.

Before I talk about what I did today, let me first start out by saying that I do love Valencia Part 2. I'm happy Kingsisle was finally able to release an update and I hope all of you log into the live realm with a membership/crowns to test it out too. I promise I'm not getting paid to say any of this or any support I have given Kingsisle in the past. I love Pirate101 AND Wizard101 and I've been a huge fan of their games. I want all of the fun to continue just like you do if you're reading this post. :D 

I mentioned in the beginning of the post that I was able to quest again on the game. I have missed Pirate101 these past few weeks. I need to start playing a lot more! Today I was able to quest one level (from 65 to 66). It seems Kingsisle fixed all of the bugs we encountered while questing on the test realm. This time,  I decided to quest a little slower  than I did in the test realm and listen to every part of the story so I know what to blog about when I bring Edward Cringle through this part of the game. :D I love Kingsisle's Valencia Part 2 storyline even though it seems like it was rushed to the game (since they were still working on the Kane battle - animation - can't think of the word :P). I still think they did a great job fixing everything. The Royal Guards were a little tough, but I was able to make it through. The Battle Angels were tough, but I was still able to make it through that second fight. So far I think that the difficulty might be right for the update after Aquila. I'll let you know what I think about the next level in another post soon! Until then, I'll see you around the skyways. :D
