Dividers In your Bunkhouse

Living space

 Small Dorm rooms for Wizard101 and Bunkhouses for Pirate101 have always been so much fun to decorate. So I wanted to try the new room dividers from the crown shop in my bunkhouse. I have to say these new furniture pieces make for an cozy bunkhouse. 

Small Kitchen

Bath area

Wizard101 Update- All Fish Caught!

I have finally caught all fish known to date.  My storm house is getting really full, which makes me happy. Five days after starting fishing for the Errol Finn  and I finally catch him. So proud of this fish.  I now have a total of 1151 fish caught, 75 types, 36 small fry and 21 whoopers! I even have tanks waiting on new fish to come out.

Pirate101 Test realm- Nov 2014

 Introducing Captain's Quarters, these ship cabins are on all ships. The basic cabin above is about the same size as the bunkhouse but on your ship.  There are three sizes to these cabins at this time. The basic, the deluxe (below) and the kings retreat from the black market.

 New furniture , room dividers  check out some of the designs in the above image. I think my favorite are the bunkbeds and the tub. Some of these you can buy with crowns/ gold and some of these are for scrip.

Check it out, you can now place ships and companions in your Pirate house, doesn't that look awesome. I think it does, makes your houses so much more alive.

The Black Market is a place where you can by  items for scrip. What is scrip you ask?  Scrip is a new currency coming to Pirate101 and it's in test realm right now. You can acquire scrip from battling ship, turrets and from the new dungeon in the crowned shop. To read more about the test realm up dates check out Pirate101. You might have to log in to read them.

Pirate101 Vine - Captain's Quarters? Maybe?

OMG! Pirate101 released a vine on twitter today. Looks like we might get to be able to decorate our Captains Quarters? What do you think it could be?

Evergreen Bundle- Gamestop

Introducing the Evergreen Bundle from Gamestop. This giant bundle comes with this adorable Botanical Gardens Mansion and when I say mansion I mean it. The land area trails around and through many areas of this house, where you can build and create the prettiest of gardens. Hidden passages take you to many other trails and water areas. This house is also a plant like for all gardeners out there! There's also a PVP ring what else could you ask for?

The inside of this house is huge! Massive areas to create and decorate , I think I'm going full on gardens , if you have ever taken a stroll through the Botanical Gardens I going to do my best to recreate. Hidden cracks in the wall can lead you to other areas all you got to do is look. Did I mention the large plant in the room? This plant gives daily rewards with a bit of humor.

The Evergreen Bundle comes with up to level 100  Evergreen Gear and Thornblade wand, the Spirit of the Forest pet that can help you with gardens and the Celestial Wolf mount. This mount is so pretty I think it will fit into my theme perfectly.  All this for only 39.00? What an amazing deal.

Let me talk about the plant that grows throughout the house and trail areas.  As stated this plant gives daily rewards in the form of levers that take care of the plant. You get a choice of three levers; pollinate, rain and sun. Each of these have very fun animation while taking care of your plant, like the pollinate actually tickle the plant you can see him laughing!  I cannot wait to see how all the different wizards decorate this house I'm sure there are going to be some beautiful creations. Until next time, happy house decorating.

Wzard101 test realm- Nov 2014

Wizard101 test realm will be back Monday Nov 10, 2014 but you can still read the notes HERE. So much going on in this test realm four new area dungeons,  one in Wizard city, two in Krokotopia , and one in Marleybone.  Each new area has fishing spots that have new fish for the fishing wizards to catch. I think my favorite are the Pharoahmari and the Gargoyle fish. I have to say Kingsisle out did themselves with these new dungeons. 

New silver chest game Catch a Key is a hit! To my understand it will be 50/50 chance with Shock a lock when this game goes live. This game is fun and so easy just catch the keys in order but watch out for those bombs.

New school spells! These new spells will cost one shadow pip to cast. You will need to be level 100 and finish the first 2 dungeons of Darkmoor.  I do wonder if these come from the phantom zone just look at the balance spell, its got its eyes on everything. ;)

Member Benefits

I know we have had member benefits for a while but KingsIsle has added to this with more friends and backpack space, dance moves and limited membership benefits like double xp at times! Maybe they can add crowns player if they bought crowns in the last 30 for more than 20 dollars or so? I know it only takes a purchase of 6.00 to get in test  Isn't that the same price as a monthly family membership? That's all for today, don't forget to to check out the test realm notes to find out more.

P.s.

LOTS OF NEW WALL PAPER AND FLOORINGS ;)

Jungle Houseboat

 In the crown shop today this fantastic Jungle House Boat  available for 5000 crowns or 50,000 gold a steal in my eyes! When you go through Myrella Windspar's tour she welcomes you with a big Ahoy! fitting for a boat house . 

 Next stop is the old trading post , you can still see items that would be sold , I think I'm going to go with the theme and keep it a trading post by creating a little store ready for all the visitors that come to my post. If you go up and around the rope bridges you come to a nice grassy area for plants or even pets? (Image at bottom of this blog post.)

As we travel onto the houseboat Myrella Windspar talks about the sides of the boat good thing she isn't a Pirate she would of failed that test. ;) There is nice spaces to put items on the main deck , even a ships wheel so we can give tours?

The upper layer of the inside haul space is a wide open room ready to haul all your guest or items, you can even make it a actual houseboat looks at all that living space. The lower area is what Myrella calls the living quarters, I have to agree. There is two side rooms where you are under the water and can watch the fish swim by and two end areas. Wonderful if i do say so myself.

Well hope you enjoyed my tour, Im off to sail to the bazaar . I got some big plans for this houseboat. So what would you decorate it like? I have a few ideas. Fish hauler , actual houseboat, jungle tours or how about a pirate ship trying to sneak its way into Pirate101?

Fear the Bunny?!

Pirate101 Newsletter- Nov 2014

Wizard101 Guest Poster-Michael Moonhunter

Hello I am Michael Moonhunter. a blogger for my own site and today i want to talk about all the different hHalloweenthings Wizard101 and pirate101 has to offer for this grand holiday. The first thing they usually do is bring us Halloween quests and spooky bob which sells things like our own version of the black cat and witch outfits. This is special due to the fact that they brought in fishing and a new event for us that is kinda of a spin off to a awesome tv show. With fishing they have added three more different types of fish and the different type of fish you can catch are only if you do not know already, which i pretty sure you knew. On to the box event which takes place in a time machine and has two new chars in it the professor and it seems to be his ccompanion who only sells mounts. I have only gotten the Ravenwood mount next year i hope to get the other one. This is barely the start of what Halloween is in the spiral. Lets move on to the pirate side, which has a new mask set which i have gotten from Paige(Ty). The new mask is a unicorn or a horse mask which i thought was really cool how it look and how it was designed i give a thumbs up. They also added a black cat unlike it's Wizard101 counter part this one is more cat in real life and less firecat. There will be more in the future and i hope to post about those as well but until then keep reading this site and have a wonderful Halloween.

Wizard101 Exclusive Sneak Peek

Fansites got these exclusive sneak peeks! One of this awesome Boar Boss the other of this amazing temple. So what are you thoughts I'm just in awe over this temple!!

Wizard101 Guest Poster-Lucas Firedust

Sometime after the new Arcane Builders Bundle was released I was walking through the shopping district. I noticed a new NPC who sold housing block recopies. So I decided to give the new items a try and was astounded of all the possibilities that were possible with this. I immediately started experimenting with them at my Royal Playhouse home and found fun new ways to decorate, or even make completely new structures. 

One of the best places I found was on a little piece of land. Once I saw the area I knew I could do something cool with it. So I decided to make a study/garden nook for my wizard, and amazingly I did. It turned out even better than I expected. And the ways that I could furnish it was endless. I ran over to Krokotopia to get some fence and I went through my endless inventory of housing items to make the perfect place. After a few days I was finished. I put a Mooshu incense candle in the window, put so bookshelves and a desk in there, and even a nice tree to make the space seem even more natural. 

This comes to show that many things can be done by opening up your imagination and expirementing with different areas and plots. If you want the full houses though the Arcane Bundle is still available, this is just for the crafted pieces.
