Worlds In The Stormgate

Traveling Between Worlds

While you’re sailing through the spiral, you will come across different skyways within a single world. For instance, in Skull Island you’ll travel through the Skull Island skyway, but you’ll also visit the Tradewinds Skyway, Flotsom Skyway and the Port Regal Skyway. These skyways are all within the world of Skull Island.

During your travels you will come across Windstones that provide you with a key to activate Stormgates. Windstones were first discovered by the people of Valencia, who used them to travel through the otherwise impassable Stormgates. They are powerful crystals that come in a variety of colors. And they are required to enter the Stormgates.

Stormgates are openings between worlds. These areas also have windlanes that take you from the gate of one world to another. And you’ll find beasties and enemy ships, along with a few treasures in these areas as well.

You’ll also notice a few world bubbles floating around in the sky of these stargates. Some you are probably familiar with. But some you spy, might be new worlds that have not yet been released by the Royals at KingsIsle.

As you’re traveling around the Stargates, don’t forget to look around. You might see something that gives you hint of what might be coming soon in the Spiral. Here’s a chart for the worlds I’ve seen floating in the stargates. Some I know and some I haven’t the faintest clue. Maybe you’ve seen these too. Continue reading →

Really Big Updates on 09/26

Sep27

KI Makes Several Small Tweaks and Adjustments

If you were excited to participate in the Ship Party on Wednesday and were disappointed it was cancelled, here’s you’re chance to find out why. Check out One-Eyed Jack’s Captain’s Log—Spiral Date 413802

Check out the updates that occurred Wednesday evening and see what’s been done to the game to prepare Pirate101 for its opening day!

And if you were like us and you showed up for the party anyway, you got a chance to see a lot ships hanging out in the Skull Island Skyway. It was truly awesome. I wish I had thought about it last night and had taken a screen shot to mark the event. But I didn’t think about that until today. Even at 7:30 there were 10 to 15 ships gathered around checking each other out. It was truly a neat thing to see.

Jack has mentioned that the party wasn’t completely cancelled, it’s simply been rescheduled. So stay tuned and look for the next gathering coming soon to a skyway near you!

Pirate101 Ship Party

We’re throwing a game-wide ship party this Wednesday at 7:00pm Eastern!

Bring your best ship and prepare to recreate your own version of Flotsam with all the other players of Pirate101. After a few cool screenshots of our groups, we’re encouraging the entire fleet of players to destroy Cutthroat and Waponi ships in a giant mass as we all slowly sail our way to Jonah Town!

Woohoo!! It’s Party Time!!

Date: this Wednesday, 26 September 2012

What: The Beta Ship Party!

Where: Avery Server (In as many areas as we can accommodate) between the Blood Shoals and Skull Island proper in the Skull Island Skyway (you know . . . it’s that big safe area between the windlanes just outside of Skull Island from the Skull Island Docks! Just look for the mass of ships hanging out!)

When: 6:00 – 6:30pm Central / 7:00 – 7:30pm Eastern (feel free to keep the party going afterwards!)

Who: Everybody in Beta who can captain a ship of any kind! Come meet other players and introduce yourself!

Why: We’re having a giant ship party

1- to get a lot of users online at once.
2- to test what it’s like out there in the skyways when you get a lot of ships together in one place, and
3- TO HAVE FUN! We know when the game launches our awesome players will find every reason to party, and we think that’s awesome.

We’ll see you there!

Beta Pirates Say “Good-bye”

Character Reset Happening Tonight 9/18/2012

Beta Pirates! A lot of great changes are incoming with the new build of Pirate101 scheduled for tonight, and this will make it necessary to say goodbye to our old characters and hello to new faces. While it is sad to say goodbye to our characters during Beta, we hope you will continue to enjoy exploring Skull Island and beyond as we draw ever closer to the launch of Pirate101.

From One-Eyed Jack.

Beta Victoria Bristol Levels Up

Sep13

We Enter The Presidio

Bold Victoria Bristol has worked her way up to a Level 7 Pirate. Along with her level 5 companion and first mate Subodai, they enter the Presidio. The first battle dungeon in Skull Island and the Pirate Spiral.

Now if you’re not familiar with dungeons, these are areas that must be completed in one shot. You can’t leave and come back where you left off unless you’re sent out of the dungeon by a quest. Leaving and coming back before you have completed all the quests in the area will cause you to start each quest all over again.

So make sure you have plenty of time to work through a dungeon from start to finish.

We Enter The Pirate Spiral

Welcome to the Pirate Spiral. As you enter the world of Pirates, get familiar with how things work. Take some time to read A Pirate’s Life – Things to know BEFORE you start the game and The Pirate Spiral Worlds – What to expect and how to get around. These two posts will cover some basics that you may not know about Pirate101.

When you enter the Spiral you’ll be in the world of Skull Island. You will be in Avery’s Court. Here you will find the shops for this world, training teachers and ports to other areas in this world. Like Skull Island itself.
