Pirate101 Test Realm: The Nautical Gauntlet!

Ahoy Pirates!

I promise you I'd make a post about the new updates on the Pirate101 Test Realm that was just released today! The first thing I decided to check out was the Corsair's Challenge, or Nautical Gauntlet. This Nautical Gaunlet is an amazing gauntlet where you can earn Scrip, Pets, Gold and of course Nautical Experience if you're not at Nautical Level cap. Today I decided to test this out so you know more about it before you enter the test realm. Caution: SPOILERS!

Once you log onto the Test Realm or Live Realm (when Kingsisle adds it to the game), you'll need go to Avery's Court and talk to Mickey Dugan to obtain your quest, "The Pirate's Regetta!". You must be Nautical Level 45 or higher to collect this quest! Mickey will send you to The Skipper, and Skipper will tell you more about what a Pirate's Regetta actually is. You will find have to hop onto the Sigil after talking to Skipper and it'll take you to the Corsair's Challenge Cut.

• Defeat Five Ships: The first thing you have to do during this dungeon, or the Corsair's Challenge is sink five ships. The five ships you sink will give you Nautical Experience and Scrip. This is probably the best area (my opinion) to farm for Scrip! I've added a few pictures above of the first wave.
• The Unsinkable Boss Ship: The moment you're done sinking the five ships that appear, there will be another ship that is unsinkable. You must attack this ship until it's on low enough health to board the ship. You can defeat all of the enemies on there to actually destory the ship. You can earn pets from doing this.
• Repeat The Waves! You have to repeat this many times, but this really does help you earn Nautical Experience & Scrip by sinking the ships, earn gold and possibly a pet by destroying the boss ship, and a challenge that you're sure not to get bored of. If you say that there's nothing to do on the live game, wait until they release this to the live realm! :D It's a lot of fun. There will be different enemies and ships to fight each time you enter a different wave in this dungeon.

This really isn't a guide, but I wanted to share what I think about this Challege and a heads up of what you should expect. This dungeon is a lot of fun and I think most of you will love it if you're not into PvP. I'll have more on PvP on another blog post, but until then I'm going to keep at this dungeon to see how many waves there are! :D Here's a slideshow of a few amazing screenshots I wanted to share with you. :D

Pirate101 Test Realm: ONLINE

Ahoy Pirates!

Kingsisle released the Pirate101 Test realm with many great updates, such as: Ranked PvP, a Nautical Experience Gauntlet and mysterious trainers! The updates were added to the test realm for us to test out before they're added to the live game, just in case there are any bugs. If you would like more information about any of the awesome new updates, click HERE or on the image attached to this post. I will have more posts about the test realm this week, so make sure to stick around to read that. Thank you for your time and enjoy the test realm!

Wizard101 Test Realm: Meowiarty Archmage Dungeon

Hello Wizards!

Last week I tested another dungeon, the Meowiarty Archmage Dungeon, with Autumn Dreamwalker! I want to make posts like these over the next few days so you know a little more about the new Ultra boss fights. I'll make more posts like this and about other updates that'll be added to the game soon. Until then, here's more information about the Meowiarty Archmage dungeon and my thoughts about it! :D

The new Mewoiarty Archmage Dungeon on the Test Realm costs 500 crowns and can be farmed for from around the spiral. This post isn't a guide, so I'll tell you to look around to see if you can find a perfect guide for this dungeon. There were cheats and I promise he's not as easy as he was in Marleybone. :P All of the enemies in this battle had under 10,000 health which made it easier to defeat them. There were four different enemies, Meowiarty, O'Leary Thug, Midnighter and Dr Von. Katzenstein. The O'Leary Thug and Midnighter were not bosses, but they cheated just like the bosses. Each time one enemy hit us, the Midnighter would cast an Empower which would do damage on him and give three pips to everyone who hit. There were plenty of cheats during this dungeon and it's better to check them out on a guide (if one is created) before you enter this dungeon.

Do I like the Meowiarty Archmage Dungeon?

• Do I like the Drops? This dungeon is similiar to the Rattlebones Master Dungeon (and all of the other dungeons) in drops. This dungeon should drop the new school mounts and amazing level 70-80 gear. I think the drops in this dungeon are just as amazing!
• Do I like the Challenge? The challenge in this dungeon to me is just right for wizards at this level. It should be easy to defeat Meowiarty and his minions if you're prepared and know the cheats. We didn't know the cheats when we entered, since everything was new and there was no guides at all. There are some cheats that might seem crazy (like the Shadow Bolt spell) for an Archmage wizard, but it should be easy to prevent with a guide!
• Do I like this Dungeon? I think this dungeon is an amazing dungeon that has awesome drops to help your wizards look cool. This dungeon and all of the others also give you something to farm for without getting upset that the dungeon is too difficult or too easy. I actually love this dungeon!

The Shadow Bolt Spell, one of the cheats used during this dungeon!

Wizard101 Test Realm: Rattlebones Master Dungeon

Hello Wizards,

I hope you had time to stop by the Wizard101 Test Realm to check out some of the new updates that will be added to the live game after being tested! I decided to make a post about one of the Wizard101 updates, the one-try boss fights, and what I like or don't like about them. I will also make more blog posts about some of the other updates over the next few days. :D Today I'm going to talk about the new Rattlebones Master Dungeon.

The New One-Try Rattlebones Master Boss fight costs 500 Crowns in the Wizard101 Crowns Shop or can be farmed for around the spiral (currently only on the Test Realm). Rattlebones, Fairy Queen Boss and the other Dark Fairy ice minions are not as easy as they are in Unicorn Way. The bosses in this dungeon use many new cheats and advanced spell cards such as  which made it different from the Unicorn Way boss fight! I really didn't think think fight would be that difficult since we bought the Master Rattlebones dungeon. We don't have the best gear of the game for any of the Exalted ones, but it was fun to try a few out, including this ultra dungeon.

Do I like the Rattlebones Master dungeon?

• Do I like the Drops? I really do like the new drops from this dungeon. After we finished this battle, Autumn found out she had the new death school-themed mount! You can also get gear to help your wizard (around level 40 if you're currently questing), and if you don't get gear, you can always get the new crafting material to craft your mount.
• Do I like the Challenge? The challenge for a wizard around level 40 might be a little difficult if you ask me, but if you go into the dungeon with a higher level wizard, should be a lot of fun! :D If this dungeon was only intended for level 40 wizards, maybe the difficulty should be adjusted. 
• Do I like this dungeon? I actually do like that this dungeon is a one-try dungeon and the price isn't bad considering you can get a mount from it instead of waiting a very long time to craft a mount (not that it's bad to), or to buy a mount like this from the crowns shop for over 10k crowns. I like that this dungeon is a one-try dungeon and the dungeon itself! :) Thank you Kingsisle for the amazing dungeon!

Pirate101 Test Realm Is Online!

Ahoy Pirates!

The Pirate101 Test Realm is now online with a bunch of updates such as the Tower of Moo Manchu. The Tower of Moo Manchu is a ten story tower where high level pirates can team up together and get gear, badges and much more! The good thing about this tower is that you can enter it with three other friends and try to farm as much as possible. I think this tower is going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to try it out. :D Kingsisle has been working hard because they also added something in Cool Ranch where you can get to areas faster than you can if you sail on your ship. I know I've had trouble getting to certain areas in Cool Ranch when questing on my swashbuckler so I'm happy to hear about this Cool Ranch Transport! I haven't even began to talk about everything Kingsisle released so I'm going to send you over to their website so you can read through the August 2014 TR update notes so I can test everything out. I promise I'll make a blog post about what I think about the updates later tomorrow or Friday! Thank you for reading and thank you Kingsisle for the awesome updates. If you would like to read through the August 2014 TR update notes, click HERE or click on the image attached to this blog post.. :D Remember you have to have a membership or have made a purchase of at least $6 in the past 30 days. You can click HERE for a link to download the test realm. :D
