Pirate101 Monthly Newsletter

Welcome to another edition of the Pirate101 Monthly Newsletter! February is sure to be a great month, and January was definitely exciting. Many smaller updates were made to the game to help every pirate’s quality of life! Of special note last month was our improvements made to the “Go Go Stormzilla” encounter, adjustments to a number of quests, and the release of our first ever Card Pack in Pirate101.

Introducing our new Rogue's Gallery video series, with our first look at Captain Avery!

“Captain Avery is the most successful pirate who ever lived! He made his fortune in the Polarian Wars where he got so rich, he bought an entire skyway--a haven and republic for pirates. He collects antiquities from all around The Spiral, and he's accompanied by his pet cockatoo, who contrariwise to popular opinion is quite jovial in nature. These pirates and more await you when you play for free at Pirate101.com.”

Hey there, Pirates! We added a new fan site to our list this month called Duelist101. The Duelist101 site is definitely more than just a PvP site, but they do have a lot of great PvP information there that I’m sure you’ll love reading about. The fine folks at Duelist101 asked me a lot of great questions about the new Practice PvP system in Pirate101--Here’s a small snippet from the interview that you might find interesting:

Duelist101: “Do you have any favorite Epics that you’d choose for a companion in PvP?”

One-Eyed Jack: “Personally when it comes to PvP I’m a big fan of a defensive play style. Outlasting my opponent means I’d be investing in armor/hitpoints/resistance/dodge, and like epics that pair well with what skills I’ve chosen, e.g., raising a companion’s Dodge works great with training the Riposte epic.

At the same time, doing that can come with a cost to Agility, Accuracy, and Damage, which are also needed to keep up with players strategically—striking a balance and choosing the best companions that pair well with my class is key. But to be honest, there’s nothing quite like having a trick power literally up your sleeve on a piece of gear! The eventual inclusion of a Bazaar in Pirate101 will further balance the playing field here.”

Read the whole article with Duelist101. See you in the Skyways!

Fin: “Remember this moment, pirate. This is the moment when after defeating me I gave you the haircut you asked for.”
