Captain Ditto’s first PVP Pet brawl in Pirate101!!

Captain Ditto has been training up two of his pets, Mighty Max and Lord Midnight, and we decided to try some real PVP!  It took a while to start a match (probably because Captain Ditto has only unlocked two slots, versus three or four) and the brawl ended up being two against three!  It looked like we were outmatched, but the Pet System makes sure it’s even.  How do you think Captain Ditto and his pets did?

So I’ve trained up Might Max to Level 42, and I got Lord Midnight my Ebon Spectre to level 39, so they’re doing pretty well!  For training strategy, I make sure I pick the highest level training task I have the gear for, and then I sometimes even set a timer on my phone so I can log back in when the training is done and get another training started. (Yes I’ve actually done that…  Miss Narrator thinks I may be crazy…)  I also make sure I also have lots of yummy pet snacks- they REALLY like that, and it definitely helps with the training!!  I also make sure my crew do a lot of pet tasks, to get more pet training gear – I think that’s the biggest thing that slows me down is when I run out of pet gear, so I’ve got to so more pet brawls to make sure I’m well stocked up!

Boss Fight Video – Ditto versus the Dark Night in Avalon!

It’s Boss Fight time again, and this one is a doozy…. Ditto faces the dreaded Dark Night!  And he’s just a cute little Marleybone doggy, he’s kind of cute!  He’s a 12,500 health Death boss, so Ditto grabs a Life henchman to help out.
This fight is a LONG one, and it’s touch and go a few times – it’s a really good fight, definitely.  I think if I’m going to be facing these massive bosses more often I need a new spell that packs some extra punch!

Captain Ditto learns about Pet Sparring in Pirate101

Captain Ditto continues to learn about Pirate101 Advanced Pets and finds out about Pet Sparring!  Of course, having no idea what he is doing, Ditto doesn’t do all that well…  but it is definitely fun!

New Pirate101 Contest – Petfinder in The Spiral! Have you seen my Flying Fish?

Contest time again, and this time I’ve got a fun one!  Everyone is talking about pets, pets, and more pets, and there are so many pets these days, a few are bound to get lost!  Well, I don’t want YOUR pets to get lost – that would make Ditto sad – but with so many new pets in The Spiral, YOU just found one wandering around lost, and you need to find it’s owner.  How do you do that?  You’re going to create a ‘Spiral PetFinder’ ad for this strange pet you’ve found, describing what it is, what it looks like, and at least one interesting distinguishing trait.  Like so:

FOUND:  Small orange flying rabbit with blue paws.  Seems to enjoy yum and carrots, makes a cute squeaky sound when you pet him under the chin…

The pets don’t have to be real Pirate101 pets, but they can be; it’s totally up to you!  Send your ‘Spiral Petfinder’ ad to dittopirate@gmail.com with the subject ‘Found Pet’.  The contest will run from now to Sunday, June 15th at midnight EST, and winners will be chosen after that.   For winners, I’m going to award the top five best ads, as chosen by me and Miss Narrator, and then the remaining winners will be chosen by random drawing.

So what do you win?  Why, pets of course!  One of three great new crowns pets, plus some crowns!!

And there will be a few other prizes too – a secret for now…   So get your entries in, and have fun with it – I can’t wait to see what pets you found out there!!
