Pirate101 Questing: Where We Ended Up (Week 7)

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope you're having a wonderful week! Today I wanted to share what we did for our 7th week of Pirate101 Group Questing. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching us, we made a lot of progress for our 7th week. Keep reading this to see what we did & where we ended up!

A few weeks ago, we ended on the quest "Hear No Evil, See No Evil" which was the first quest of Monquista. We started questing through Monquista for our 7th week of questing. Monquista isn't too long of a world, but we meant business this week! It has been a while since we've quested due to health issues & technical difficulties. Those two things, thankfully, didn't stop us from zooming through the majority of Monquista!

Monquista has always been my favorite world in Pirate101 because of its uniqueness. It was so nice questing through the majority of this world with a group of amazing friends. We also have a few pirates that join in to help our quest - thank you to all of those who do. :) Anyway, this week was great because we ended on the Final Dungeon of Monquista! This is great progress especially since we've missed out on a few weeks and we'll be taking next week off for Thanksgiving. So let's talk about where we ended up & the next time you can catch our Pirate101 Group Questing Stream!

Quest: "The Monkey's Paw" in Diablo Cut

Transparency Matters!

Hello Wizards,

Today I wanted to talk about a crowns feature that was added to the game. The Knight-Night Crowns Reward Weekend (which lasts 3 days) gives you rewards based on how many crowns you spend in the Crowns Shop. This would be a great idea, however, the prices are very high.

If you view the image above, you'll notice that you can get a Night Dragon Mount (from the list of exclusive rewards) for $700! While you'll also get everything in the lower tiers, it is very expensive! On top of that, you would have to spend $700 within 3 days to get the mount. The Holiday season is upon us and it's nearly impossible for most (if not all) people to throw $700 to a game. 

So the point of this post is to ask Kingsisle to be more transparent in their actions. Why would you need to throw out a Crowns Benefit that requires you to spend $700 to obtain all of the rewards? Did you know that a Mana Elixir costs 100 Crowns? You would have to spend 330 crowns to obtain the Mana Elixir from this new crowns award system. This is an unfair system and I hope Kingsisle fixes it as soon as possible. I also hope they are more transparent in the future. I am not a hater. I love Kingsisle & their games, so this post is more of a constructive criticism type of post. Please listen to your community, Kingsisle.
