Ahoy, Pirates! This past June we celebrated the start of the next chapter of Pirate101. NEW UPDATES! On June 30th the Event Update was released and Pirates have been hard at work obtaining over a dozen new pieces of gear and weapons. Let's take a look at all the wonderful news from June!
PIRATE101 HAS BEEN UPDATED
Pirates, prepare for a journey to acquire new gear, weapons, and a mount! Reginald P. Jowlsley, located near the Skull Island main fountain, will offer one Event quest per day to obtain the week-specific event key. Complete these weekly quests for a chance to obtain new rare gear, weapons, and the ultra-rare new mount, Crow’s Wings.
Members of all levels can talk to Reginald P. Jowlsley to enjoy these new events.
KINGSISLE PRIDE STREAM
Happy Pride Month! This Livestream was focused on raising money for Charity with OutRight Action International. We had Andrew and Momma Rose on the show as guests to discuss some LGBTQ+ topics.
We raised $1,200 and it's all going to charity! Thank you all so much for joining this stream. Pride means so much to us and we are overjoyed to see so many community members feel the same way. For those who didn't get a chance to redeem the KI Live giveaway code yet, we opened it up again PRIDESNACKS622 for another 500 redemptions to get the new KI Live Snack Pack in both Wizard101 and Pirate101, and Small, Medium, and Large Rainbow housing items for both Wizard101 and Pirate101!

PIRATE101 OST LOVERS REJOICE
Good news, everyone! Nelson Everhart, the composer for Pirate101 (and featured artist in Wizard101) has a youtube channel where he talks in-depth about the music theory behind his work in Pirate101. If you’ve always wanted to hear remixes of Pirate101 music, he also does just that! This incredibly talented artist deserves all the love we can throw at him.
MIA DOES IT AGAIN

HUMBLE MISTY AND SHELDON GUIDE NEW PLAYERS
"….it’s an exciting time to get into, or back into, Pirate101. Starting out in the game can be quite challenging, there are a lot of systems to learn, and especially if you’re coming from Wizard101, the combat system is completely different."
Humble Misty, also known for her storytelling, has co-written an incredibly helpful guide for new players to the game! While answering roleplaying questions is fun, knowing the mechanical impacts of your answers is important. Sheldon and Misty are writers from adventuresofthespiral.com, so if you like this article, you’ll love their other works too!
For this month’s art spotlight, we are showcasing MEMES! That’s right, the heart and soul of any good community is here in the art spotlight.
Do memes need to be HD quality images to be funny? Do memes need to be made by artists with years of experience? We submit NOT! The players of Pirate101 know a good chuckle when they see it, and it truly can come from anywhere. Here are a few that made us laugh from June.
Do you have a drawing or other art piece to share? Let us know and it may make an appearance in a future newsletter!
