That Swashbuckler Celebrates Their First Birthday!

Today That Swashbuckler has been in the Pirate101 Community for 1 whole year.

We'd like to thank all our mateys for all the feedback and support you've given us in the past year. Without all of you, That Swashbuckler probably wouldn't be here today. So to thank you all, I've put together quite a few contests for you this month. They aren't quite ready yet. And I apologize for that, but as you wait for the real contests, feel free to enter our Birthday Raffle below. Some prizes are Wizard101-related, but I know that lots of you also play Wizard101, so I figured I'd toss those into the Birthday Raffle too.
Good luck, and keep checking back for more contests!

Bottles of Yum for all!

Marleybone comes to a close

Now that I've taken down Beachhead and saved the Isle of Fetch, I've become better known in the Marleybone circles. I was asked by the army to help fix their war machines, which supposedly can make a difference in the outcome of the war. Unfortunately, these golems can't even stand, much less strike fear into the hearts of Armada forces. I had to journey on both land and sky to gather all the parts to fix them. When I got all the parts and tried to fix them, though, I encountered a nasty surprise. The machines were attacking ME! After defeating the golems, I was tasked with rescuing the son of the fox who programmed the war machines. I reported back to the war room, and received my last combat quest in Marleybone. I needed to save a military official, and stop on of the high-ranking Armada members, Rooke. After a long and challenging dungeon (thanks to Dead-Eye Justin for helping me out) I was granted commision from the Marleybone military, and so was able to rescue Catbeard! Now it's onto Aquila.

I thought Marleybone was a great world. It was very beautiful, and I loved how it was always nighttime. I also loved the story of Marleybone and how challenging it was. You could usually get through the street mobs without much concern, but with the dungeons you usually want a friend to come. I felt the world was relatively short. There is only one skyway, at least that we know of, and there were only a handful of areas in the skyway. Overall, however, I thought Marleybone was a great world. Hopefully Aquilla is just as good, if not better.


Not exactly combat-ready.

Where is Albion?

Private eye Paisley and the case of the rebel kitties

The Kurghas, Marleybone's elite fighting force of tigers, is rebelling. I was sent to investigate the rebellion by the Marleybone navy. The Kurgha rebellion started after Marleybone started fabricating newer and better food for the felines. The new food was suupposed to be better for the Kurghas than their old food, but for some reason they didn't like it. I was charged with the duty of diplomacy to the Kurghas by the Marleybone Navy. After some battles, I encountered a Kurgha that apparently knew my parents, Jabdal Chand. Thankfully, I was able to fix the problem, and get the cats back on our side. Now it's off to the Marleybone Sewers for my next assignment. Why I can't have a desk job, I'm not sure.
Is this the place we saw as concept art before Marleybone and Aquila were confirmed?

How did he know my parents? And where is Rajah?

Zeke Quest Guide - Marquis Mark and the Funky Bunch


Skull Island Zeke Quest: Marquis Mark and the Funky Bunch

 Below are maps of the bananas' locations to help you reach them. They are not in any specific order. The bananas will be located where the red X is on the map. X marks the spot!

Finding the Funky Bunch

1. Skull Island (Free-to-Play Area)

Just cross the bridge nearest to the X and look to your left.





2. Traitor's Cave - Blood Shoals (Free-to-Play Area)

The banana is located behind the table full of food.




3. Light House - Ruined Light House (Cost: 749 Crowns)
First, cross the bridge, there will be a path with foot prints. But don't take that path. The path on the left of it is the one you have to take. Keep walking on that path till' you reach the first spot you can turn left to. There should be this broken house with no doors, windows, and not even a roof. Just a broken house laying in the grass. Walk into it and you will see the bananas.




4. Captain Gunn's Tomb - Bounty Island (Cost: 749 Crowns)

Once you walk into the tomb where Captain Gunn is dead, the bananas are right next to him.




5.  Volcano - Waponi Wu (Cost: 749 Crowns)

Head to the top of the volcano where you will see Chumba Wumba. The bananas will be on the left side of him.




6. Scurvy Dog - Scurvy Dog Hide Out (Cost: 1249 Crowns)

On the right side of the stairs, they are two little buildings. In between them is where the bananas are located.




7. The Gold Mine - Sacrifice Cave (Cost: 1249 Crowns)

This is the easiest way I can put it. When you first enter the cave, don't move. Now, hold your UP arrow key down until you bump into this thing with blue designs on it. Go around it and continue going straight. You will see the bananas.




8. Valley of the Gold Monkey - The Gold Mine (Cost: 1249 Crowns)

Before going up the stairs, turn left, you will see the bananas.




9. Corsair's Cove (Free-to-Play Area)

The bananas are located behind Captain Gunn's House.




10. Puerto Mico (Cost: 1249 Crowns)

Before you enter the San Mandrillo Cathedral, look to the right, you will see the bananas in a grassy area.


Note: Lots of areas come in one package, meaning you don't have to spend crowns on each area.
