Edward continues to side quest through Monquista!

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope yer day is going well, mine certainly is :) I had a chance to quest again today through all of the Skull Island side quests and now I'm in Monquista finishing up side quests. As I said yesterday sometimes its important or good to finish up those side quests. I have received many companion training points and gold from all of my side quests so far. Just about all of my companions are caught up to my level! I leveled through this area on my witchdoctor Edward, I had no idea there were so many quests with companion training points and nautical experience because I sailed right by most of the side quests. This time I'll know to get most or even all side quests through future worlds/characters! Here's my Monquista side questing pictures.

This should be an easy quest! :)
Experience, Gold and two companion training points!

I've quested a lot more than this through this world, but I only wanted to blog about this quest to show ye that there are great quests out there in the skyways that can level yer pirate or give nice experience. I'm very glad I decided to start on side quests before blogging about my adventures to Valencia. Watch for my next Edward Cringle post since I will be blogging about my adventure and in Valencia. See ye around the Spiral!

3rd Bloggaversary!

Hello everyone!

Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem has been around for three years! These three magical years have been great, surprising and sometimes difficult. Don't worry about it being difficult because this made me way stronger as a blogger and I'm glad I had difficult times to build up this site. I consider this blog one of my biggest accomplishments and this counts as one from real life. I can't believe that I've been blogging for three years, but I'm glad I continue to blog each year no matter what. This is not my last full year of blogging so I will have plenty of more birthdays! This one is a very special one though, I haven't had a chance to thank all of you for all that you do to make this blog. I'm not the only one that creates this blog, you also create it!


This blog has provided me with so many adventures and made questing through Wizard101 AND Pirate101 so much fun. I love sharing my adventures on the game with all of you wizards and pirates. I'm guessing ye pirates are wondering how I got started on Wizard101 blogging right? Well it all started, well three years ago lol, and I created a blog with a great friend, Mary Dreamshade. We created our blogs out of the inspiration of other bloggers one of the bloggers including our Pirate101 community manager, Tom Purdue. His blog has inspired so many people to create their own blogs. Thank you Tom (Friendly) for everything that you do! I'm very glad I created this blog I have had so many great accomplishments in the past three years that include: helping wizards and pirates with online safety tips, having more great friends, and official Pirate101 Fansite! Thank you all for helping me accomplish those three things and thank you Kingsisle for accepting this site, I know some of my posts aren't "normal" but hey, I'm not normal :P Thank you for reading this blog, I have many more goals and surprises for the future of this blog and all of you are included. I don't want to make this post too long because I want it to remain special. I'll look at this post years ahead but I won't forget anyone who made this blog happen and continue. Thank you for reading my favorite blog post of the year. Make sure to read my other blog posts from years past to see years first and second bloggaversary! I'll see all of you around the Spiral!

Edward Cringle starts Side Questing!

Ahoy Pirates!

Its been awhile since I've blogged about Edward Cringle, I've noticed that I'm actually just about ready for Valencia! Last time I've had a quest was with Fin, after I defeated him I went to Avery and went back to Puerto Mico to receive a quest to defeat wharf rat ships! I'm not going to complete that quest just yet though. I looked through my quest book and I have quite a few quests I need to complete before accessing Valencia.

The first I'm trying to complete is Skull Island, I have a lot of quests they I have skipped or haven't finished. I'm glad I'm finally completing these though, I have received a lot of gold, gear and a few Training Points to level my companions! I was out of gold and companion points I'm glad I leveled through Dark Jungle though. I've also battled ships with side quests I have collected and received Nautical Experience!

I had to join a ship battle since my ship isn't strong enough. Completed
the quest though, I'm glad I completed this quest received about 200 NXP
all together from two different quests by sinking these ships!

Sometimes its nice to go back to see what you've missed with side quests, if ye've left out any side quests, you never know what rewards that side quest could have. Ye can get nice gear that you've always wanted or ye could level that one companion that's not far away from leveling with a free companion training point. I hope ye enjoyed reading this post, check back tomorrow for another post. Edward Cringle will quest through Monquista looking for all of those nice side quests, until next time, see ye around the Spiral!
