February 7th - Potion Commotion Challenge Winners
Congratulations to the winners of our Potion Commotion event!

January 7th - Help New Pirates This Week
A new year means new Pirates sailing into the Caribbean, seeking adventure, plunder and infamy.

Recall that first time a brave buccaneer revived you during a particularly nasty invasion?

Or the first crew that invited you to share in the plundering aboard their War Frigate?

Aye, helpful and well-versed mates are essential to the life of a Pirate.

We dedicate this entire week, January 7 to January 14, to Pirates helping Pirates.

Crew up, join together, and give your fellow Pirate a helping hand with Quests, battles, and exploration. Helping each other is the surest way to complete tasks, defeat enemies, and level up your Pirate.

You’ll not only get a reputation bonus for crewing up, you'll also level up faster!



Let us know yer tale of a friendly Pirate helping you...
