Talk Like a Pirate Day 2017 Preview
YARRRRRRR You Readyyyyyyyyyy?!
We've got a boatload planned for this year's Talk Like a Pirate Day event, and art (and teasers) are starting to come in! We won't spoil the event for you yet. Instead, I leave you with 5 words -- Skypirates. Dragons. Kaiju. Naval battle. (And all the farmable rewards that go along with the event... ok, 15 words.)
WHAT ABOUT QUIBBLE'S SHOP?!
We know one of the most anticipated shops of the year is the Talk Like a Pirate Day Quibble shop, and this year our artists have outdone themselves! There were so many great ideas, and so many requests for colors and styles that not even a warship would be able to carry all of them! So here's what we're going to do!
We've locked in plans for 2 of the 3 Naval Commanders (a 4th may happen... if the sea gods are with us) and a Pirate Captain. Those are:
- Dragonborn Naval Commander
- Paladin and Obsidian Paladin Naval Commanders
- Kaiju Pirate Captain
- (Plus the returning Naval Commander Class)
You'll be able to get the Dragonborn Naval Commander (that's the green one you see below) or any of our other Naval Commander armors from Quibble's shop for 1100 AdventureCoins, just like always.
But because we love making you guys happy, and we received so many requests for color variations on the Dragonborn Naval Commander,... we're introducing a new way to get additional versions of our planned Naval Commander sets. (Plus, and we know that a hero can only carry SO MUCH LOOT before their bank pets cry)
Because dragons come in many colors, so will the DragonBorn Naval Commander: currently, we're planning for red, orange, gold, blue, purple, brown, black, and pink.
In order to create the color variants, you'll need the:
- Dragonborn Naval Commander and either
- (Color) Parrotgon Pet to quest for and create a specific color variant (900 ACs)
- Pirate Wyvern Pet to quest for and create ALL of the color variants! (10000 ACs)
To get the DragonBorn Naval Commander + 1 Color Variant and accessories:
So if you JUST want to get the Blue Dragonborn Naval Commander shown above, you'll want to get the:
- Dragonborn Naval Commander armor
- Blue Parrotgon Pet*
Then you'll be ready to set off in search of the draconic dye which will let you turn your Dragonborn Naval Commander from green to blue! The quest will also reward the accessories (helms, capes, weapons, and pet) so it is a pretty sweet deal! (You'll get to keep your original Dragonborn Naval Commander armor)
To get all 8 sets (120+ items + house items)
If you want to get ALL the Dragonborn Naval Commander color variants and all their accessories (over 120 items!), you want:
- Dragonborn Naval Commander armor
- Pirate Wyvern Pet*
That will unlock quests for ALL the color variants AND all the regular (green) Dragonborn Naval Commander accessories.
- 9 color variant armor sets
- House items
- Damage boosts on items
- Exclusive bank pet
This is a BOATLOAD of loot, but for you collectors out there, the dragon-themed treasure will overflow!
* The Parrotgon pet will not be sellable until after the Talk Like a Pirate Day event ends. Due to its value, the Pirate Wyvern pet cannot ever be sold... so no one will be able to take your booty. YARRRR!
