KINGSISLE GAMERS EXTRA LIFE GOAL REACHED


null

Congrats KingsIsle Gamers Team, we did it!

Hundreds of Wizards and Pirates joined together on the KingsIsle Gamers team, to play games and raise money for a great cause. Saturday, November 6, was the final grand finale where we livestreamed on KingsIsle’s Twitch channel to raise over $500 in a single day toward our goal. The team’s original goal was $10,000 but together we achieved $17,500 raised overall!

Our team’s top fundraiser this year was the community group, “Wispy” FireWispGames, with an amazing $1,020 raised! Team leaders who raised $100 or more received the new Wizard101 Sky City Bundle. These rewards are currently being sent out over the next several days.

LONG LOST COMPANION: NANU NANU


null

Last month we featured a mainline quest guide from Final Bastion, and now the community site Adventures of the Spiral. Continues the story of Humble Misty Morgan with Tiny Tiffany’s new adventure!

“Privateers receive Nanu Nanu in the first Jonah Town quest by going to chat with Ahab. It begins with a quest to find Norville, which is out on the skyway in a vortex outside Jonah town. Protect Norville and fight the sharks, then bringing Norville back to Ahab. The next quest “A Fishy Business”, goes to Rapa Nui and speaks to Chief Omurtu. He gives you a quest to go talk to his friend Hunter Raku. After talking to Hunter you end up fighting 3 Waponi ships and returning to Chief Omurtu. At that point, Nanu Nanu becomes your companion, A Water Mole Spearman. In the future when leveled to 30, Nanu Nanu gets a promotion and becomes a Water Mole Warrior.” - Humble Misty

GAMEPLAY GUIDE OF THE MONTH


Main Quest Line Guide: Monquista & Valencia Part 1

null

Are you new to Pirate101 and getting stuck on some of the mainline quests? Community fansite, Final Bastion, is here to help! The site has an excellent series of guides of all sorts. One of their latest is a step-by-step sequence of events through the Monquista & Valencia main quest line. Check it out!

“After years of user requests, we are finally adding a new series of Pirate101 main quest line guides! This Monquista and Valencia Part 1 main quest line article is intended to help you track your progress throughout these worlds.

I list the quests you have to do in a certain area. The areas are listed in the order you should do them in (unless otherwise specified). The area is not always one hundred percent correct, as certain quests can require you to run back and forth between areas to talk to people. To simplify matters, I have not listed this kind of running; the quest will say “talk” but not where the NPC is located. Also, if there is only one quest in an area, I will not mention the area separately. Located between brackets are the different parts of each quest, as many quests require you to do multiple things. Pirate101 is also notorious for making you travel all over the Skyways and Spiral, so while we may list a quest as being assigned in a certain area, it may have you travel to other zones.” - Final Bastion

Do you have a guide to share? Let us know and it may make an appearance in a future newsletter!
