Is it important to Nautical Level?

I wanted to make this post to help anyone that is leveling in Pirate101 and not nautical leveling. I played Pirate101 since beta was released and noticed that there is a huge difference between just leveling without paying much attention to nautical leveling other than doing your quests where you have to defeat ships and where you nautical level with your quests and without. Would you like to see the difference between a Pirate that has been nautical leveling and not nautical leveling? Keep reading!

Pirate that Nautical Levels

A pirate who decides to nautical level will have many advantages on the game. You may notice it is a lot easier to defeat tough Pirate ships alone, get new horns for your ship (spells), or even get a better ship. Leveling your Pirate while nautical leveling with quests and nautical leveling in general is easier than you think. You will level your Pirate a lot faster because Pirate101 is a pirate ship game no matter what you do, you have to sail your ship and sometimes you may get caught in a battle that you really don't want to do and you may be worried about being defeated. If you've been nautical leveling, there won't be a problem at all! Make sure you are nautical leveling it will help you a lot more than you think!

Pirate that doesn't Nautical Level

I played Pirate101 since Beta was released in August. In August when I first started I had a difficult time trying to level and not be defeated in ship battles. I thought I was terrible at ship battles. My ship was always defeated by another ship and I didn't know what to do. By my surprise I noticed that you had to nautical level to get a better Pirate ship and all of the other things you could equip to your pirate ship. I am glad I finally found this out because if I didn't I would not be level 49 on Pirate101. There's a lot of ship battles in Pirate101 and you will need to nautical level. If you don't nautical level, you will have a tough time trying to defeat other ships. Make sure you are nautical leveling!

Now that we covered the differences between nautical leveling and not nautical leveling, I decided to give you a few great nautical levels for each world. Nautical 10 leaving Skull Island, Nautical 20 leaving Monquista, Nautical 25 leaving Valencia, Nautical 35 leaving Cool Ranch, and nautical 50 by the end of Mooshu. These are all great nautical levels by the end of each world. I hope you take these numbers and make goals of nautical leveling while Pirate leveling! Good luck in the Spiral everyone :)

Our 500th Post!

I'm surprised we made it to 500 posts! I really can't believe that its been more than two years and 500 posts later and I'm still wanting to blog another 500-1000 for all of you :) So many great things have happened on this blog, Wizard101 and Pirate101 since I started this blog. Here's a year by year schedule of all of the things I loved since I started blogging :)

2010

I started blogging in 2010, and most of my posts were about Celestia (Wizard101) that would be released soon and I was very excited about that. Most of my posts that year were about Celestia, new pets and my first parties on Wizard101. I would love to go back and do it all over again :) 

2011

2011 was a huge year, it was my first whole year of blogging and I've had some downs during that blogging period but I've had a lot of ups too! I hosted my first contest thanks to Autumn Dreamwalker, I started blogging again right after my hiatus from blogging and made 270+ posts that entire year. This isn't my favorite year of blogging though... look at 2012..

2012. 

MY FAVORITE YEAR SO FAR!

Like it says, this is my favorite year of blogging so far! I've had so many accomplishments thanks to all of you, this blog reached 100 followers, then 150 and then 200 followers in one year! All three of these were huge goals. Another goal was accomplished that I didn't mention, to have fun with you all. This year has been a fun year full of excitement :) Oh and lets not forget to mention becoming an official Pirate101 blog, I owe a huge thanks to Friendly Necromancer and the community management team and all of you. I wouldn't have submitted this site if it wasn't for you :) This site will remain a FANsite :) One more thing... Contests. Wow, I've had a lot more contests this year than any other year! I have a end of the year contest going on, an Admiral contest, a 500th post contest.... SURPRISE! This is for you, thank you so much for all of the great years of blogging and here's to more years of blogging!

Boochbeard Clause!

Ahoy Pirates!

The other day I made a post about my idea of a Pirate101 Christmas . Have you ever wondered what Boochbeard would look like if he decided to dress up like Santa? I have since August. You're probably wondering if I have a picture of Boochbeard dressed as Santa, the truth is... I do! :)

Thank you Cody for making this, what do you think of this picture? Do you think he could be a good Pirate Santa? Or do you think he should stick to be only a Pirate that gets into a lot of sticky situations? Maybe he could do a little bit of both! Comment below and tell me your thoughts about Boochbeard Clause! 

Beautiful Mooshu Scenery

Ahoy Pirates!

Today I lost connection on Pirate101, and you wouldn't believe the pictures I had a chance to take! I couldn't believe that even if I lost connection I had a chance to take these beautiful pictures. If you would like to you can take these pictures as your own, enjoy! :)

Beautiful Sunset

Look at that view!

If you lose connection on the game, don't get too mad because you may get to take pictures like the pictures above! See you around the Spiral :)

A very Merry Pirate101 Christmas!

Ahoy Pirates!

I don't know if you've noticed but some time ago I made a post about Wizard101 Christmas and a few ideas I would love to be added to the game with Christmas. I really wanted to make a post about my Pirate101 Christmas ideas! I really hope you like it, It may not be the best ideas but we'll see what you think about it :) We have to ask ourselves something though... Do Pirates even celebrate Christmas? Or any other holiday?? They can if they want to. I don't know if they have time though since they're sailing on a ship. Who would put a Christmas tree and presents on a Pirate Ship?? I thought of something though.. What about Gold and a Life Fountain full of yum? It may sound crazy right now but it isn't!

Chocolate Gold Coins for the Kids

Gold coins for the kids? No.. Chocolate Gold Coins! I think this is a great idea for Pirate101. You can have little treasure chests around in Avery's Court and other areas in Skull Island and you can get a quest to gather all of the chocolate up for Boochbeard (We'll get to that). That's the idea I'm thinking of. Let's bring up the Halloween Pumpkins, we go around in the Commons in Wizard101 going around to collect the treats and then go back to Jack to turn in the quest, that's exactly what we'll be doing here!

Boochbeard Dressed up as Santa?!

This may sound silly right now, but... I have to say he sure does look like he would be great dressed up as Santa! He can be the one to collect the Chocolate Gold coins once you turn them in. I may be wrong but if you change the Pirate Gear and put him in a Santa suit. He would look like him! Lol :)

Christmas Decorations

Now let's go back to the life Fountain filled with Yum. I was thinking maybe.. this could be some sort of Pirate Christmas Tree? I don't remember seeing or hearing anything about Pirates celebrating Christmas, so maybe it could be their first time and they want to start Celebrating Christmas this way. Decorating the Life fountain with Christmas decorations. Instead of water they would fill the (Tree) with Yum instead? I don't know about this idea but its something that showed up in my mind! And of course decorate the schools and Avery's office a little bit. :) I think that would be great!

I can't think of any Quests! I really do hope you like the ideas though that I would love to be added to Pirate101, who knows maybe one will! I hope! I think this would be a lot of fun on Pirate101. I can't wait to see what the holidays on Pirate101 will really look like. Until then... Have a very

Goodbye Boochbeard Bundle (November 11th)

Our Community manger today post an announcement on the message boards and announced that the Boochbeard Bundle will go away permanently on November 11th. This means you won't be able to get any of the items on the game ever again. You should try to buy this bundle before November 11th if you would like to have something future players won't be able to get. I think this bundle is a really great bundle. This bundle costs $89.99 and with all it offers, I think its the best bundle this game will ever have. It saves you a lot of money. Let me add with the items above, you can also get a choice of 60,000 C. Or a 12 month Membership. That's a save :) Here's the items in the video they gave us a few months ago!

Pirate101 Test Realm!

The test realm is now open for the very first time! You can go and download it at this link: https://www.pirate101.com/free_game/test_realm Remember you have to have a membership or bought 6 dollars worth of crowns in the last month for Pirate101! Its just like the Wizard101 test realm! Here's Kingsisle's response of why the Test Realm has been added so soon!


Kingsisle:
Since we are making a number of small changes to Pirate101 that will affect gameplay, we've taken this opportunity to also "test the test realm!" There are some noticeable changes you will see such as sped up combat, combat rule changes for late arriving players in multi-player combat, and further adjustments to design issues like dreaded white buffaloons. Please see the complete list of upcoming changes in the Update Notes page.

Maintenance Update

We're halfway through the maintenance! You're probably wondering where the pages have gone, they will be added soon. Its not going to be like it was before, there will be a few links to posts below the header and all of the Information Pages will be down at the bottom of the blog! The drop-down menu is going to be removed, I will try to figure out how to do that on another update to the blog. This is the biggest update we've had and trying to take time. Soon I'm going to submit for Pirate101 Fansite! I have a good feeling about submitting this time :) If it isn't true don't worry, everything is going to be okay. I am planning on blogging for quite some time and having more interesting posts :) And lets not forget the big contest we're having. Have you check out that post? Click the picture of the header above to see it! Good luck to all of you. It will be ending awhile from now but we will be having great contests before then. Hope to see you during the contests. See you around the Spiral, I'll be blogging soon!

End of the Year Contest begins!

Ahoy Pirates! Here's one of the contests I'm having! All you have to do is follow this blog or leave a blog post comment, you'll have until December 25th to enter. It will be on this post for awhile. (Note: Time may be changed) If you win you get a $10 Pirate101 Gift Card, Good luck!

Blogs/ Sites to follow! (November 2012)

Hello there!

I'm sorry I haven't made a post like this in awhile (last time being Spring), I really wanted to make these posts again! There are so many sites I haven't mentioned but there a few new ones that I would love to mention during this post. Here they are!

The Spiral Wonders is a great new site that I'm sure you'll love! The author Pavlina (Sophia) has been a friend of mine since this Summer. She's very nice and I'm sure you'll love reading her posts! Did I mention she did an interview with me sometime ago? Go read it on her blog when you can. (first interview) Keep of the great work Sophia! 

Blake's Guide to the Spiral is another great new blog! The author of this blog (Blake Ravenhunter) sent me a link to his site the other day and I think he's off to a great start. So far he's made one post, I'm looking forward to more Blake! :) Thanks again for showing me your site, I needed a few blogs to put on my post. Good luck and keep up the great work!

I'm glad I made this post. Make sure to look at these new great blogs :) See you around the Spiral!

Blog Maintenance

I'm doing a maintenance for the next few weeks on this blog! You may have heard about it in recent posts, I won't be closing the blog down because this maintenance will last awhile. I'm going to spend more time on this maintenance than any other. I'm hoping it will be the biggest update we've ever had on this site! Here's a list of a few updates being made..

• Pages: More information on pages will be added on all of the pages, not to mention an easier way to get around. The drop-down option may be removed! 
• Background: The background will also be changed. Its not Halloween anymore so this background should be changed to a Pirate101/Wizard101 related background. I will be adding a Christmas background the day after Thanksgiving! 
• Header: The header will be changed too, I would like to thank Cody for a great header for the past few months, I'm going to miss the header, but we never know, it may come back! The new header will be a mix of Wizard101 and Pirate101 also.
• Blogging: In the next few weeks, I'm going to try to start blogging about Wizard101 and Wizard101 UK a little more, I've been taking a break from both games to start playing Pirate101. I hope you wizards don't mind me taking a break!

I really do hope you like the new blog design and everything to be added! I can't wait for you to see all of my new guides, pages, and my background and header. Wish me good luck! You will see a lot of changes in the next few days on the pages. I will still be making new posts. Oh and I hope you liked the red and green! Happy Holidays! :D (Been waiting 11 months to say that again)!
