Ready For Advanced Companions!

Miracle Mitch – Companion Healing Center

News from One-Eyed Jack!

If you thought yesterday’s article on Advanced Pets was interesting, don’t miss our Developer Journal on MMORPG.com about Advanced Companions! Soon you’ll be putting your crew to work for you and bringing all new levels of strategy to your game–coming to a Test Realm soon!

One of the interesting changes:
Companions can now be wounded, and they must either wait until they are fully healed or be cured by Miracle Mitch, a new NPC in Avery’s Court to get back in action quickly, but for a price.

The new “healing center” is right next to the Buccaneer’s training house. Seems Avery has been busy building and reconstructing Avery’s Court over the winter! I think he’s getting ready for an Armada Invasion or something!

Check out the new features and changes at MMORPG for the Pirate101 Advanced Companions Incoming!

Can’t wait for the next Test Realm to open! Can you?!

Companion Promotion – Bonnie Anne #2

Mar23

Bonnie Anne – Fox Sniper

The Fox Sniper –

Near the beginning of the game, every Pirate meets up with Bonnie Anne. She’s a great Fox and good Musketeer who lends a helping hand from the start of your questing through the spiral.

You can visit our Companion Guide to find a list of all the companions available to each Pirate class within the game. Or return to our Epic Promotion guides for Pirate101 Companions.

As you level up your companions they will occasionally reach epic promotion opportunities. When you first meet Bonnie Anne she is a Fox Musketeer. Bonnie’s second epic promotion occurs when she is promoted to Level 31. At the end of this promotion quest, she becomes a Fox Sniper. You can learn much more about her abilities and skills at this level from Pirate101 Central.

After you applied training points and she reaches this level, she’ll tell you she needs to speak with you. Let’s go to a nearby Tavern so you can talk.

In the Tavern she’ll tell you “Captain – I’ve just got word from Mary, an old shipmate of mine, that my first Captain, Calico Jake, is looking for me – and you too. The letter says Jake needs to find me straight away for some kind of hush-hush job.”

This quest will require you to have access to Port Regal.

News – Working Through Port Regal

Game Guide Updates

Well today we had time to sit back and relax with some Pirate101 adventure. It’s been a while since we’ve been able to enjoy a quiet Saturday, so it sure was nice to play with our favorite characters today!

Last we left Port Regal, we were heading over to the Scurvy Dog Hideout to pick up the Toloc Idol. We completed that quest, saved a few of the Marleybone crew, kidnapped the Governor’s daughter Mabel and deliver her to Catbeard.

One of our Captains also helped Ratbeard pick up his latest promotion to a Rat Captain. And most of all, we were able to update some of our guides here on the Portal. Check ’em out!
