A Pirate's Portal

What’s New & Improved
Summer 2018 Updates for A Pirate’s Portal

After 4 years of rarely posting on our Pirate Blog, we’ve made some new posts and updated some old articles as we return to the Pirating world. Last time we made any significant game updates, Marleybone, Aquila and Florenza hadn’t even been added to the spiral yet! So we not only needed to make some updates, we also wanted to share some new information too. Here’s what we’d like to highlight.

We’ve added a couple of Quest Journals for epic battles:

Quest Journal: The Tower of Moo Manchu
Quest Journal: The Machine – Raising Kane

We’ve also included some new tips and hints for making the most of your Pirate gear:

Stitching: Dressing Your Pirate
Buying & Selling Gear: The Bazaar & The Vendors

And we’ve updated some old posts to add new information that extends to Level 70 Pirates:

Worlds In The Stormgate – Windstones & Skyways
You might find some new worlds floating out there in the Stormgates.
Prospector Zeke Quests – Finding Lost Things
We’ve completed Mooshu and added Marleybone and Aquila
Pirate Spiral Tavern Locations.
We’ve updated the Taverns for all current locations.
World of Dreams
We cover the new area in Scrimshaw, behind the Obsidian Door. Learn about the Skeleton Key Bosses and where you can pick up extra keys when you need them most!

And we’ve updated a couple of our most popular posts too:

The Pirate101 Crew
– Updated 09/2018

Each Pirate class has its own set of companions that can become part of your crew. You can also buy companions from the crown shop, or in bundle packs. You can also acquire special companions through Pirate101 game promotions and Fansite contests.

Some of these special companions are offered one time only and if you don’t pick one up, you may never have a chance to acquire them again. But not to fret, you’ll probably like some of the new companions offered through game upgrades.

You can learn more about Companions on the Pirate101 Companion Wiki. And you can learn more about the quests that provide the companions on the Pirate101 Quest Wiki.

Here we have our own information about Companions that may help your questing through the Spiral.

Companion Guide – A simple list of the current companions in Pirate101 by Pirate Class. Why do some pirates battle with Subodai and others with Egg Shen? How do you acquire Mormo the Witch Doctor or Sarah Steele the Mouse Fencer? The Companion Guide can tell you who’ll find in the Spiral and how they come to be part of your crew.
