A couple weeks back I jumped back in to Pirate101 to check it out since, you know, THERE'S A NEW UPDATE TO THE GAME! Kind of crazy that the KingsIsle team has managed to pull off a couple of new updates for this game, right? Who woulda thunk it. There was definitely a time that I didn't think it would ever happen, but . . . things change when you're under new management. There you go Negative Nellies -- games under Gamigo's parent company CAN AND DO receive updates! Take that!
So, Pirate101's newest update is a rotating daily quest given by one Reginald P. Jowlsley. He's a Marleybonian Bulldog full of spit and vinegar.
Each time you finish one of Reginald's quests, he'll drop a "Royal Key" on you. This key can then be used to enter a dungeon.
Solo, I found the fight I encountered to be pretty difficult, but when I was with a group of four, it was cake. Well, it might have just been that my group mates were a bit OP.
It was kind of funny. One of my groupmates had me on their friends' lists and had no idea who I was. Oh, you know, I just used to be the CM four years ago . . . now I'm just a guy who used to know things, a has been, and some chump wannabe coming back to see what's up with the new update. hehe. I actually like the anonymity. Before I would log on and get swarmed with questions (most of which I could never answer). Now I log on and I'm a complete rando. I like it.
Supposedly there's some cool weapons and gear that drop for the instance, but I mostly got vendor trash loot and a MEGA TON of gold. That's one thing about Pirate101. They always overload you with gold. Gold is absolutely not a problem you need to worry about. Someone should put a big magical gambling well somewhere in the game where you can toss in 250,000 gold in exchange for a chance at something legendary.
Here's to future updates to Pirate101 and more fun in a fantastic game that's dear to my heart!
Happy Dueling!
Yo ho ho!
ReplyDeleteI quit this game too soon... that one quest with the item that would never drop killed me.
Cool Ranch buffalo quest? yeah, that ended up changing . . . I imagine a lot of people dropped because of that.
