Pirate101 Test Realm!

Ahoy Pirates,

The Pirate101 Test Realm has opened with Stitching! What is stitching? Well if you're getting tired of weird looking gear and you see other gear you would like to have instead with the same stats of the gear you don't like because of its looks, you can stitch where your new gear has the cool looks and regular stats! I think its the best thing that could be added on Pirate101, other than the bazaar of course :) You should go test that now and tell Kingsisle what you think about it and report bugs if you see any! It costs 100 crowns to stitch one thing, such as a hat to another hat! Kingsisle provided helpful hints on how to stitch, I'll post them on this blog also! You have to have a membership or spent $6 to access the test realm.

Step 1

Select the item you want to use for the Appearance

Step 2

Select the Item you want to use for the Stats.

Step 3

Click create and you'll have have a whole new outfit (one by one) with the look and stats combined in one!

New Gear

Hello Wizards!

I'm sure you heard that Wizard101 released another pack, Shaman's Lore Pack, it looks like it has some pretty cool looking gear, pets and spells! I asked myself something though. Why game card packs? A few years ago Kingsisle had main level gears that you could farm a boss for and at the time it was epic gear. Now though, a lot has changed. I love the game card packs but I think Kingsisle should release the gear with bosses now.


Don't get me wrong, I love the new gear with all of the packs, they are very epic! This goes along with the world release rate though. They haven't released any good gear (from what I can see) with any of the new worlds. They release it with crowns packs though. I know crowns gear is always supposed to be better than the normal gear you farm from a boss but.. Its weird to see people who can't buy crowns and can only purchase members have level 58/ 60 gear on and you find out they're level 90. People who can purchase crowns can get all of the good gear. Since the gear in the crowns shop is really the only good gear you can get, it makes it unfair to the other players who only purchase memberships. I'm one of the people who doesn't have crowns at all times. Please take your time releasing worlds so you can have time to make some good gear for those who can only purchase a membership. This is a blog and yes, I do make posts like these sometimes, I have to. I won't buy this pack (25 crowns), so I'll have to see what I can do on my fire when reaching Azteca. Please, with the next world (hopefully not too soon), release some nice gear!
