LOOK AT THAT! CURSED BLADES ARE HERE BABY!!!! Davy is happy!!!! :dancetl6:

Its SOOO Awesome!!! Cursed Thunder is great!!! lol

At the bottom of the email, notice the "Raven's Cove coming soon" and new STORY quest....

Sorry guys, I forgot to get screenies. Its pretty cool.

And where does it say Raven's Cove is coming soon?

its a cool weapon

Would somebody please post a screen of said newsletter?

I just copied this from someone else.. however all the info is the same.

Just throwing this out there, anyone else notice that the update involved in the newsletter is normally released on live a week or two after the code expires?

*scratches imaginary beard thoughtfully* Interesting... veeery interesting...

Haha. This looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure about that Sven. Didn't it take forever for them to finally get fishing out with the Blackhat code?

Uh, Sven. I really hope your wrong about that, because the code expires on October 25th. I dont want to wait that long for Raven's Cove... but anyone notice that bandanna that the pirate in the picture is wearing? Perhaps that will be a future clothing item. Small little thing I know, just wanted to share that.

Nice catch on the bandanna Davy! Wouldn't have noticed that. We know that new clothes are likely coming with Raven's Cove... a part of that? More insanely subtle hints? *strokes imaginary beard again* hmm...

Evidence supports that there are.

For more details on the new Cursed Blades, visit The Complete List of Weapons Thread!

The Blackhat was sent to us around the 22nd of July, it expired the last day of August. The update came out a little over a week later. I think they did the same thing with the Darkfire cutlass or Super Flatulent Fizz code (both involved mini-games). If they follow that, Ravens Cove should be on Live by Halloween.

Although only time will tell.

I think that the hat in the image has been worn in past images on the Disney site. It does look familiar, and hopefully new clothes are coming.

edit: On the site, one of the advertisements has that same pirate (with some changes in clothing and tattoos).. haha

I noticed that too Sven, just never got around to posting it... also, maybe some of those tattoos will also be added... anything is possible.... except slamming a revolving door....

hmm... if it comes on live around or on Halloween then when would it come to test? Next week perhaps? :) *gets excited* :psmiley27: :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

This is such an AWESOME blade!
I'm still sticking to my Shark Blade...

It has the black shadow thing that the shark blade leaves behind it when you swing it. That makes me want to use it even more.

That's why I love it. Were it not for the Shadow Swirl, as I call it, I wouldn't be using it as often as I am now. However, that won't stop me from turning into what Del became when he got his Lost Sword :D

Don't forget double rep weekend! @_@

I hope it isn't times again like last time though, that was kinda cheap.

Here's the blade info.

Haha, I love the Cursed Thunder. Makes me feel like a melee Jolly Roger!

Woohoo double rep, time to master grenades :)

I hope it's the whole entire day though, not just 3 hours -_-

The sword looks kind of like a Davy Jones type sword. :) :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2::psmiley27:

See now I was thinking exactly the same thing J. The pic from the newsletter it looks all barnacally and old, like something a Thrall Captain might carry. Interesting that unlike the Darkfire cutlass this thing has a level, and a BIG one. Level 20 required means I can put it on all my little low level basic pirates too but it will be months before they ever get to use it. Interesting... very interesting... Didn't they say in some of the early releases that Raven's Cove has "new more powerful enemies"? Forget where I read that, but I'll try and dig it up. Anyway, it makes me wonder. Things that make you go hmmmm...

Can basics get that weapon?

I hope that they can atleast have a notoriety cap level increase to like level 60 or level 70 and a weapon cap level increase to like level 40. That would be cool too, since technically they did call it a new "story quest".:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you cant redeem the code if your a basic, and even if you could, its rare, not crude.

Now, if they were to raise the level caps past 50, they must change the way in which we level. Otherwise by the time we try to get to lv 70, about 100,000 rep will probably be needed. They should probably make it so to level up, you have to do some sort of quest. Some would involve killing X amount of lv X+ enemies, some would be sinking ships, and some would be just doing a quest. This would give us quests, AND a notoriety raise. And of course with a notoriety raise, we have to have stronger enemies.

Well they also mentioned that there were new ships coming, thats why bowarks were taken off... maybe the Navy bastion is coming...
Woot go Speedway! Now I can't wait for the other curse blades, they seem stronger then normal sword.... you dont really find a rare 60 attack cutlass just anywhere...

Yes, basics can get it. No, basics can't use it.


I'm with you, the not cap does need to go up. I think though that it does tie into this thread. I think this blade might be a teaser of things to come on Raven's Cove, and the more powerful enemies supposedly there. If this is a preview of coming attractions I find it very interesting the turn this could be taking....

Maybe if we send in the idea of raising the level cap for notoriety then maybe they will make it so? Also I think for a little side thing to add in this October is to decorate the game with pumpkins etc. maybe add a creepy outfit to the tailors but thats what I think as well. :)

Well, we're going to have stronger enemies when the Raven's Cove quest arrives. And, truth be told, we actually would need around 1,000,000 Rep. I'm sure for Lv50, you need around 1,000,000, though not sure if that was the same for Lv40 (not likely, though).

I estimate that it'll be somewhere around the 80,000-90,000 range for rep needed for Lv60, and, if it goes to 70, though unlikely, 100,000-110,000.

Anyway, I hate to ask this "again" but, when do you guys think that Raven's Cove will be "accessible" to land/port on, on the test game/server? I've heard sooner than we think etc, so maybe tomorrow since it's an update day :psmiley27: or is it more likely to come next week? :) :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2::william:

It won't come out tomorrow, due to that being a GM event day, and this weekend being double rep. If anything, it would be next week, or the week after.

But would we get another notoriety rasie so soon from the previous one? since I think they were prob expecting us to level from 40-50 from the new weapons levels and story quest, but of course it didn't really work out sa they planned probably, since these stuff came out a lot later, but reading from what the dev team said on the web... level 50 was what they were thinking about. But of course... they havent updated that for a very long time..

If they raise the caps, they need more weapon skills, I'm certainly not going to level up my weapons with 20 leftover skill points in my weapons for no reason

- Wants A cursed blade - to bad i cant get on the game till friday -_-:skull: :skull: :skull:

Yea... I remember the days when I looked at that life drain skill and said, "Wow... if only I could get that skill..." Now, there are no skills left for me, and weapon grinding gets boring... although the loot is nice. If they raise the caps, they should give us motivation to level up, other than for the sake of leveling.

- crosses fingers - hopes dont raise the weapon levels - Truly grenades -

Aye... truly grenades....

:P looks like crossing my fingers worked the island came out today or last night O_O going to do some exploring after school today :P TGIF
