Ahoy, mateys! Your ship has come in, an exciting new update has arrived to Pirate101! We know you’ve been waiting a long time for the winds to pick up along the skyways and what new content might be created. Are you looking for another great adventure with yarrr fellow pirates? While no new world is planned at this time, we are still very excited to see you check out what was released!

New Sinbad Adventure and Chimera’s Anchor Weapon

null

A legendary sailor and his crew have come to Skull Island... and they need your help! Does your Pirate have what it takes to win the title of Best Pirate in the Spiral? Take your corner in this quick, no-holds-barred adventure full of thrills, chills, and much crushing.

To get started, your pirate needs to be level 70 and then you can speak to Albano in Avery’s Court to begin the adventure. You can find Albano between the Coin Drop Minigame and the Privateer’s Office. Visit the June 2021 Game Update post for all the update details.

And check out these Sinbad stories from the community!

KI LIVE: NEW GAME CONTENT


We had a lot to talk about and many excellent questions to answer during June’s KI Live with the release of the new update! We also teased a few things for our Wizard101 community in that game’s next Summer Update (now on Test Realm).

Missed the show? Watch it now YouTube!


Secret Reader Bonus - The giveaway code was also changed up a bit with an exclusive Pirate101 code provided this time. As of this newsletter's announcement, for those who didn't get a chance to redeem the KI Live giveaway code yet, we opened it up again (KILIVEXPBOOSTELIXIRS) for another 500 redemptions!

For more videos and livestreams, be sure to subscribe to KingsIsle's YouTube channel.

A great gameplay tip submitted to KI Live comes from Senor Spicy: “Be careful where you step. Some of the musketeer enemies in the new Sinbad dungeon have Repel Assault which can knock you back if you walk into an adjacent square. Best to attack them from afar!” - Senor Spicy

THE FRIENDLY NECROMANCER CLEARING QUESTS



The Friendly Necromancer (previously a Community Manager at KingsIsle!) is always sailing the skyways somewhere. While he’s been an adventurous pirate for many years and gained experience all the way to level 68, he hasn’t quite been able to complete his journey to level 70... until now!

Check out Friendly Necromancer’s latest blog post about his 2021 questing efforts:

“I decided to start my quest cleaning project in Marleybone. I did a few odd jobs here and there, then eventually landed on what felt like an extreme epic side quest. After a bit of research, I realized I was actually on the companion promotion quest for Ratbeard. (Yeah, I never finished that.)” - The Friendly Necromancer

ZADOK'S FREEDOM - PLAYER STORY



null

From Adventures of the Spiral, Loveable Melody and Humble Misty help Zadok gain his freedom!

“Loveable Melody and Humble Misty met in Traitor’s Cave after a long-rested week. Once they united, Melody explained how she felt a need to find Zadok and look for a way to free him. A chest with a key was there to unlock the door to the inner cave. Once through the door, Egg Shen became excited and exclaimed, ‘Captain Zadok! We found him!’”

And Loveable Lindsey Lewis shares her tales of combating boss ships along the skyways!

"Moving down the Skull Island Skyway, Lindsey knows of two ships available for battle. They are Deadeye Diedre’s ship, Deidre’s Delight (Gave her gold), and Mack the Shark’s Ship, The Threepenny Race (Acquired a Jumping Ahi Billethead Figurehead, and the second time, gold.) Both ships were located off the blue skyway toward Jonah Town. After these two ships, she moved off to the next area.”

GUIDE OF THE MONTH - SHIPS SPOTLIGHT

Beginner's Guide by Final Bastion

null

New to Pirate101 or just looking to revisit your knowledge of which ships are right for your characters? Check out Final Bastion’s Best Ships guide and let us know which ship is your preferred one to sail the skyways!

“Ship PvP hasn’t been around for too long, but it feels that the motivation to actually go out and fight isn’t quite there yet. I feel this is partially due to people being unprepared to fight. They don’t have the latest and best gear possible and possibly don’t understand the tricks to surviving. I have fallen in love with ship PvP and with this mini series I aim on helping our readers boost their chances of winning in a 1v1.” - Final Bastion

Also be sure to peruse the list of the many other guides available on the Community Guides list!
