FrogFather Friday -- Wizard Mounts?

Hello, my Pirate friends, let’s gather ‘round the lily pad for another FrogFather Friday, yeah? I know what you’re thinking…FrogFather…it’s been too long! The sad truth is I… uh… had to go see a monkey about a ship, and one thing lead to another, and let’s just say badabingbadaboom I had to lay low for a while, eh? But, it takes a little more than that to bring down the FrogFather, and now that things are on the up and up, we can get hoppin’ again.

Last time we talked about a birdie and bein’ below decks, and I’m happy to say that ships cabins are, as the hatchlings say, the bees’ knees (ohhhhh frogetabout it!). And, while I can neither confirm nor deny my involvement in anything shady, I keep hearing about this Black Market and may have to investigate, y’know, just to make sure no one is cutting into the FrogFather’s profits, capeeps?

Max! All this skull doggery makes me want to play a happy tune on my clarinet about the finer luxuries in life, am I right? Hand towels *honk* …Ship Cabin Sectionals *bleet* …class banners *beep* …creepy spider pets…well maybe not the creepy spider pets, but a frog likes to keep good company with insectible delectibles like that. Am I right or am I right? Of course, I’m right. I’m the FrogFather!

Speaking of the finer things in life, how about those pillows you can find all over Skull Island? I hear there’s been some fun events going on where Pirates can get a bit of that exclusive Crowns currency. Yeah. Yeah. A Pillow Fight. It all sounds a bit soft in the middle to FrogFather, but THOSE CROWNS! Excuse my drool, friends. Those Crowns make the undergrounds go rounds, and if collecting a mountain of pillows could get me more crowns? I’m hopping on top o’ this pile King of the Hill style!

So now that we’ve got our pleasantries and how da ya dos out of the way here, how about a question for you all to mull over like a fine plate of fly wing bowtie pasta? I’ve been thinking about the things you pirates ride to get from place to place. “Mounts” is what you call them, right? If it’s up to me, the Frogfather prefers to be carried around in luxury. Have you seen that Mander Palanquin mount from Krokotopia? That’s just about my speed . . . except max would be doing the carrying instead of some manders. He’s well paid, no worries. Anyway, that Mander Palanquin, it’s usually reserved for Wizards see, but I could see a few richer pirates or three riding around on that mount here in Skull Island. Speaking of which, what other mounts usually reserved for Wizards could you see a Pirate parading around on?

Thanks for the conversation, friends! It’s always a pleasure, and it’s been too long. We’ll be sure to do this again sometime, and I hope you’re finding new and fun ways to keep busy in the world of Piracy, Black Markets, and…Pillow Fights.

We'll see you and your bunnicorn (and your bunnicorn hybrid?) next time!

Ciao Mein,

The two person whale mount.
The whale fits right in and solves the issue of no two person mounts yet.

The two person hawk too. We have the parrot mount, well some of us early bird buyers do, so the hawk would let others fly too and hey, just dangling another pirate around in it's talons is quite the piratey thing to do.

I am so happy to see another one of these hints! To be honest, I was so excited that I hadn't even read it yet! I'll post back soon(Like in a minute!) with what I think of it!!!

My mind: YES

Monkey with a ship: New script shop in Monquista?
Mander Palanquin: Hint of a new mount? (and or Krokotopia world)

Okay, not as exciting as I thought it was going to be, but it's cool to have FrogFather Fridays back. Anyways, I would love to have the Celestial Wolf mount. It's this cool greyish wolf with a cool turquoise outline, just like in the game Sonic Adventure, when he charges up his energy. (I doubt anyone would know of that old game anyways :P)

Respectfully FrogFather it has been waaaay too long since we've seen your verdant countenance here! But this is one pirate who's happy as a cricket to see you!
Now mounts from Wizard101? I've had my peepers on a two that would be a pirate's dream! The Whale mount! And I've also have drooled over the Aquilan Chariot! That's all for now.

Oh my frogfather! finally your back! I was dying for a frog father Friday to come. Is there a update coming very soon? I want A NEW WORLD!!! It has been to years. Also new mounts sounds interesting. Max will hopefully enjoy them.

From my days of playing Wizard, I think a rickshaw would be useful from Mooshu as well as the chariot from Aquila. And, as pirates traveling the skyway finding treasure, we could find a flying carpet maybe? Since we do go to the mines and the railroad in Pirate101, what about the minecart?

well hello you are an awesome frog to speak to love ya in the story, and love reading your comments on this forum pygmy whale be an awesome from-wizard-addition since its 2 passenger and sounds amazing....fits our theme nice as well..or aquilan chariot again 2 passenger fun fun fun....or the single passenger one that came with pagoda gauntlet...all wizard tranferrable
but how about the suggestion i posted a couple of weeks ago? be unique to pirate101, but i think be cool.. 2 passenger mini covered wagon pulled by buffaloon? didnt want to upstage that grand stagecoach any but i think it would be quite fine here especially since cool ranch is signature world to pirate atm....even a 2 passenger native american bison canoe be lovely complete with a sweet paddle(even dyable in our colors :O plz plz)...a gold miners's cart with lanterns hanging off of the edges and picks shovels etc crazily banging on the sides (that one being very fast could be hillarious XD)...for april fools day how about a sack? lol like a sack race sack burlap bag go hopping along in XD(says potatoes)...MB automobile that you can drive?...hot air balloon....pogo-stick with a horse head top...bicycle-made-for-two....many many more ideas but for now i say adieu...

Good morning, honorable FrogFather.

You have lured me into loading one of my Wizard accounts for the first time in many months, to refresh my memory about some of the more interesting mounts. I did not need to refresh my memory for my first request, though, which is:

More ponies! The pony makes a great pirate mount, but in terms of permanent mounts they all look exactly the same. (More clones, like those crockagators?). It would be awesome if they came in a variety of colors, as they do in Wizard. White (really gray, I know), black, brown, chestnut, palomino, appaloosa, buckskin, etc. Of the Wizard variants, my personal favorite is Moonlight pony.

Of other Wizard mounts not currently available in Pirate, my next choices would be the gold-wrought eagle (which would fit in nicely with the Toymaker plot), the Nightmare, the reltively new and spooky harrowings, and the frostfang tiger. The Malorian Dragon and the War Board are also nice.

Thanks for asking! My pirating wife and I have frequently lamented the lack of variety in pony selection (I think for both of us, ponies ore the preferred mount).

"... what other mounts usually reserved for Wizards could you see a Pirate parading around on?"
Mighty Steed Mount.
Skeletal Dragon Mount (I have it on my wizard ).
Mech Birdy. (Mechanical Eagle thingy)
Arcus Cloud Mount. (And possibly a spaghetti and meatballs variant, ay Frogfather? Ah frogetabout it!)
Black Panther Mount. (And one for those who know older cartoons, the Pink Panther Mount.)

Oh, yes, Esperanza, a Seahorse would be so lovely!

But thinking about your question, Frogfather, a number of those wizard mounts my wizard girls love (the butterfly wings, the ice skates, dragons, that sort of thing) just don't feel right here, though it could be argued that we certainly get into conflicts of mythical proportion as pirates too! However, I fully agree with Indigo and Fiorenza, that more ponies would be very welcome indeed (my privateer even has a stable ready and waiting for one!). I also really love Esperanza's notion of a seahorse (though I think a seahorse pet would be equally delightful). But as far as wizard mounts for our pirates, I might think-- the magic carpet. Yes it is magic, and we pirates are not necessarily eager to put our complete trust in magical things (put it in our sails, figureheads, and whatnot, but let us walk on good ole wood) but it would have a wonderful 'Sinbad the Sailor' sort of appeal. I don't recall Sinbad ever having a magic carpet in the text of the 1001 Nights, but some movie versions certainly have him doing so.

And, um, Black Market? What Black Market? Oh, that Black Market. Oh, no there isn't anything interesting at all about that. Just very... urm, humble things. Yes, that's it. No spices or gold or things like that that would interest the Frogfather, certainly. Nothing you need concern yourself about, hehe... (That's all we'd need, yet another struggle for power in Skull Island even while the Armada breathes down our necks...)

The Flying Carpet is from Aladdin,Sinbad the Sailor never had a carpet.I'd be interested in seeing Sinbad in this game,though.

Ooh it would have to be the Hippogriff for me. It was my absolute favorite mount in Wizard101 and ever since I left Wizard, I have missed them dearly. I hope one day the FrogFather can smuggle some in Skull Island for us Pirates!
