Hi Awesome Pyromancer, welcome to the message boards.
That is a little low but not unheard of. If you haven't done all your side quests I would do all of those first to get some more leveling under your belt or those scorpions will be chasing you to the life fountain and making your companions loving their bedrest.

That's pretty much normal level for entering cool ranch. 3 of my pirates entered at level 16, with one entering at level 15.

I would recommend that you do all other quests before going to Cool Ranch. I think that you should be about level 17 to 18 when you go and doing quests will help you level up. And, even then, you should do all the non-fighting quests first to level up as much as possible. Cool Ranch is Hard when you first get there, even at level 17 or 18.

wow! really? this is like the 3rd (counting Avernus 4th) sky way we have visited and level 16 (i am actually level 19 now) is normal. In Marleybone (in wizard101) your supposed to be level 30 when you leave. i guess pirate101 is very different, using other icons, and phrases, and what not.

Well, the nice friendly and helpful community we have here is another difference I've found between Pirate101 and Wiz.

If you follow just the mainline quests, you should be exactly Level 15 when you enter Cool Ranch.

A couple of notes:

1) With the new content at the beginning of the game, you might be a little higher than L15 now. (I'm not rebalancing or removing any XP to compensate for the new content-- just enjoy the little power boost!)

2) You may find it too challenging at L15. Lots of people do; don't sweat it! I recommend that you go back and complete some side quests from Skull Island. I usually avoid most of the side quests in an area until I enter a new area-- and then I go back and do the side quests. That way, you'll be higher level, and you'll speed through the side quests that much easier.

So when I get to Cool Ranch, I go back and do Skull Island/Monquista side quests. When I get to Mooshu, I go back and complete Cool Ranch. When I get to Marleybone, I go back and finish Mooshu side quests, and so on.
