A NEW GAME PATCH


Pirates! We released the first game patch of 2022 on February 23 that fixes a few things, including a long-standing quest issue. Check it out:

  • Bring Me My Bow quest should now able to be turned in properly
  • Buccaneer’s Obsidian Warlord’s Boots lvl 65 and 70 exclusive class item now properly restricted to just the Buccaneer class
  • Resolve a couple of issues with punctuation in chat text improperly being highlighted red
  • Prepared some new items to be available later in the Crown Shop
More to come! Let us know what you think of the changes in the forums and on social by using #Pirate101!


KI LIVE: NEW FRIENDS OF THE SPIRAL


It's a friendly festive time, so we invited new KingsIsle team members on last month's KI Live to talk about their work. They had a lot to say about what they are looking forward to for the rest of the year and beyond!

We also had Mike Sears back to voiceover some of the Wizard101 Lemuria characters he did. Let us know if you want him on the show regularly, as he has even more voices to present!

Missed the show? No worries! You can watch the recording of KI Live now on YouTube:


It's always a blast hanging out with the community, so let us know what you most like about KI Lives so we can continue to make them even more fun to watch.

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 (KILIVESUPERBOOTS) 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 Caladbolg: “In the early levels if you want to level up and gain gold quick do the aztecosaur dungeon, you will fill your backpack and get you a decent chunk of experience.” - Caladbolg

LOVEABLE MELODY TO PUERTO MICO

Adventures of the Spiral continues the story of Loveable Melody Morgan, this time adventuring to Puerto Mico:

    “Leaving the Kraken Skull tavern and getting her crew up and about, Loveable Melody Morgan sailed to Puerto Mico. All she knew was to go see the Majordomo in the Governor’s Palace. Looking toward the palace she was amazed at how big Puerto Mico looked. There were merchants bustling about and tall towers among the mountains in the background. The crew was complaining about all the stair climbing they had to do! (Quest: A Diplomatic Mission)

    “Ok, let’s go see this Majordomo. Looks like he is up these stairs to the right. When entering the door, Majordomo was at the bottom of the stairs and inquired, “You have business with His Excellency? I trust you have a letter of introduction. Let me see. So you are…” - Loveable Melody
