We've landed on another Friday, and that means it's time for a new topic of discussion. Shall we?

This last month of the year, we'll have a common theme, retrospect on Pirate in 2017. This week, we'll start with our trusted companions. This is a two part question:

#1 - what is your favorite pet from 2017?
#2 - what is the pet that we haven't made yet that you desperately want (either something from Wizard101 or something new entirely)?

Looking forward to your responses! Have a fiesty Friday and wonderful weekend!

Also, we realize that some of these topics may have been addressed before in other threads - sometimes it's good to pick up a discussion again. Chances are I have read your threads and would like to hear more!

Hiya, Dalia!

#1: My favorite Pet in general is the White-Tailed Jackalope. From 2017... Eh, that's hard to say. Maybe one of the new Birthday Pets?

#2: Probably RRRRZZZZ419/Two-Faced Dino Clegg, Level 70 Privateer's idea of a Milky Way Baubleloon Pet, mentioned here in these Message Boards, with the Rocket Strike Power and the Furry Egg. Great idea!

Have fun,
See you piratin' somewhere in the Spiral!

I think I really liked all the new Heckhounds imported from Wizard City and their new color schemes.

If I wanted any kinds of pets from W101, I want all the BEETLES and SNOWMEN. Thanks.

Favorite pet of 2017: Heckhound
Dream pet: Heckhound + Ram A Lam = Wolf in Sheep's clothing

Welcome to the Message Boards, Inky In! That's a very clever pun, I it!

Thanks! Hadn't thought much about it beyond the possible combo. A punny name would be fun. How about calling the Heckhound + Ram-A-Lam = Woolf (Black Woolf?/Black Sheep) Basically a cute fluffy cloud with teeth.

Yuletide in the Spiral has inspired me to request a Gingerbread Boy/Girl pet.

"Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread man!" That would be so much fun, great idea!

Dinosaurs. One must always have more dinosaurs.

A dinosaur, in a space ship, like the little UFOs in Azteca, with a dinosaur riding on it.

How about a Russian Doll pet. It could hop along after you, and could open and re-nest itself. It would open and turn into a crowd of tiny dolls, that would then re-stack, hopping back in, and become one bigger doll. I would love to see what a special attack for it might look like.

It could be a version of Mormo's "watermole army" attack. The Mother Doll opens and a horde of baby dolls pops out, then swarms the target!

Perhaps it's name would be the Polarian Doll.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone, and the great ideas for future pets. I'll make sure Decius has eyes on this post if he hasn't already. ::grin::

Speaking of favorites - you can keep with the pet theme if you'd like, but if you'd rather, let's talk gear/weapons. What's your absolute favorite in the game and why? Great stats? Looks awesome? Let us know!

In the question of gear, there are 2 sets I especially like for style/looks alone - Captain Swing's Luddite gear & Captain Blood's boots with his jacket. Yes, there's a powerful card attached to Blood's jacket, but if it didn't have that card, I would still place this outfit very high for style ( except the hat ). It has that "pirate" look that many players seem to crave and can now be only achieved through stitching, if you're at a high level.
Now Captain Swing's gear appeals to those who like Marleybone, it would be great if similar looking gear was available ( dye-able too, please! )
I have asked many times for more feminine options for us girl pirates. I love Contessa Argento's fancy swashbucklering outfit, please, please, I would like very much to dress as this companion!

Armor- Personally i find the marleybonian officer style my favorite however i wish there was platemail armor to go along with my favorite weapons, and when i say platemail i mean different variations, i dont want everyone running around looking exactly the same

Weapons- The flamberge, kraven blade, and the new silent knight swords are my favorites, i find realistic weapons the best looking, i do however wish there were more visual effects on weapons with the option to turn them off, thats just looks however, in terms of stats the spring and fall champ weapons reign supreme for every class as they should, however my issue lies with the fall weapon, even for a champ weapon it is too overpowered in my opinion, more weapons like the summer or spring is needed where they provide something niche only they can, summer flames provides a powerful barrier or even attack in the right situation and spring allows certain classes to run different gear instead of the norm although only slightly
