Thank You

Hi there!

I usually don't make posts like this on my website but I wanted to tell all of you something that has been on my mind lately. I'm very thankful for all of your support over the past Six years! I really don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't blogging about the games we love, Wizard101 & Pirate101, for this amazing community. I don't even know where I'd be in real life if I didn't join these two amazing games and the communities.

Many of you know that I decided to become a Computer Programmer/ Software Developer so I started attending College in 2014 to earn my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - which most likely explains the lack of posts in the past two years. :P I already know what I'm going to do in my future because of that. The community has helped me with communication. I'm actually a shy person, but a few years ago I was very shy and awkward (all of the time - seriously my weird funny blog jokes didn't work). I'm so glad I was able to talk to everyone here because of that reason.

Now... Where am I going in the future? I want to hit 2,000 posts! I'd love to have more events for the Wizard101 & Pirate101 community too. :D My future is already looking bright mostly because I still feel like I'm supposed to be here for a reason. I joined Wizard when I was 15 years old. I'm 22 (23 next month) now and I still love Wizard101, Pirate101, and this community! These were just a few random thoughts I was having this morning. Thank you all so much for all of your support! I really do appreciate all of you. :)

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. :)
