August 15th - Pirates Expose EITC Plot
For many weeks, Pirates have noted strange comings-and-goings by EITC agents, with many suspicious swashbucklers speculating that the EITC is secretly smuggling new weapons through their more exotic trade routes.

Marceline scouts confirm that the EITC Black Guard are indeed ferrying these new weapons into the Caribbean, landing on Cuba then transporting via a route over Isla Tormenta through Outcast Isle right to their bases on Padres del Fuego.

Find a member of the EITC Black Guard this weekend, and with the right persuasion, ye may possibly find yerself holding a new weapon!

Be on sharp lookout!

These Black Guard agents are stealthy and slick, with no guarantee you'll find one.

Keep an empty slot or two in yer Inventory just in case.

Our scouts report the EITC running their smuggling operations during these times:

WHEN: Saturday, August 17: 3 – 4:30 pm
 * Sunday, August 18: 10 – 11:30 am

WHERE: Padres del Fuego, Outcast Isle,
 * Isla Tormenta, and Cuba


 *  * All times listed are Pacific Time

August 9th - Nemesis Blade Reminder
This weekend is yer last chance to claim the Rare broadsword that packs a punch – the Nemesis Blade! After Sunday August 11, the code for this mighty blade sets sail, so don't ye dare dally, mates.



Just redeem the code:   nemesis 

Click here to learn how to redeem codes in-game.

You will instantly receive the Nemesis Blade in yer Pirate’s inventory. NOTE: You must have an available weapon slot in your inventory when you redeem the code.

The Nemesis Blade can be redeemed by both Basic and Unlimited Access Members. However, only Unlimited Members can equip this Rare broadsword in battle. ==August 9th - Announcing... Savvy Swashbucklers!==

Thank you all for yer scores of Savvy submissions! While we were stupefied by the swashbuckling exploits of the many remarkable rascals and seafaring scoundrels nominated, this fearsome foursome stood out to claim the "Savvy Swashbuckler" summer honors.

Congratulations to ye “Savvy Swashbucklers” one and all! Mercy



True to her name, Mercy stands ever ready and willing to help Pirates in need, no matter their level or Guild. Even if she's just revived a group of Pirates during a swarming invasion and they're knocked right back to the ground, Mercy is right there, getting them all back on their feet and back into battle. In a Guild well known for tangling regularly with their nemesis General Darkhart, facing off with that lethal boss and other enemies is one time this Pirate lass shows no mercy – and she has the plunder to prove it!

Her Guildmates thank Mercy for her constantly cheerful camaraderie and quick cutlass. This is one Pirate who never gives up against an opponent, or on a friend.

Captain A Ron



Now here's a salty dog who's seen a fair share of adventure and plunder! Captain A Ron has long dedicated himself to defeating scores of enemies throughout the Caribbean, from gators on Cuba to high-level Navy on Kingshead. In a Guild filled with many prominent Pirates, Captain A Ron continues to astonish his mates with vast numbers of enemies vanquished, contests won, and a treasured collection of Rare and Legendary loot that most Pirates only dream of!

Both experienced and helpful, Captain A Ron steadfastly keeps to the Pirate Code. By encouraging other Pirates to do the same, he shines as a savvy example both on land and sea.

Captain Andy



Captain Andy charts an honorable course as the level-headed leader of the up-and-coming Lion Hearted Pirate Guild. With his simple rules of respect and a weather eye on fun, Captain Andy organizes weekly meetings for crewing Pirates, recognizing quest and level accomplishments, and enjoying bouts of raucous card play or "pirate says". Several of his Guild members let us know how much they admire Captain Andy's sense of fairness to all, and his tireless efforts to guide new Pirates to swashbuckling success.

The good Captain sticks to the Code and helps other Pirates do the same to keep the Caribbean a safe and enjoyable place for all to plunder. Just don't "steal his cookies" savvy?

Sage Whalemight

Whether ye find her crewing Pirates on the high seas, or battling El Patron himself, Sage Whalemight is rarely seen alone – she's too busy putting other Pirates first!

Selfless, smart, caring, and always sticking to the Pirate Code, Sage insists on aiding others, no matter their Guild, Notoriety, or skill level.

Her hearty generosity is matched by her bravery in battle. Sage Whalemight regularly goes toe-to-toe with the most lethal enemies, and comes out victorious thanks to her savvy wisdom and witty wiles that would do e'en Captain Jack Sparrow himself proud!



Tip those tricornes, mates, and a hearty three cheers to our winners this time around! We hope to see even more praiseworthy Pirates in our next run of Savvy Swashbucklers!

July 31st - French Assassin for August
Those cunning Peddlers play at a bit of cloak-and-dagger this month. August sees the return of an elegantly sinister summer style:

French Assassin

Whether a stealthy spy or an agent for the French (perhaps double agent?), this uniquely sublime gear allows every Pirate to dress their deadly best.

Strike now to catch Peddlers selling this sharp garb, as well as last month's Snapdragon, for a limited time on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba.''

Seek them out under their special Peddler symbol:

July 23rd - Important Safety Reminder for All Pirates
A savvy reminder, mates, on keeping your account safe and private:
 * Never download third-party software that someone promises will give you "rewards" or an advantage in Pirates Online.
 * Don't be fooled – there is no other software you need to download that helps you play or chat in Pirates Online. Downloading such third-party programs can be unsafe due to possible viruses or keyloggers that compromise your Pirates Online account.


 * Never use your username or password on fan sites, online forums, or any applications outside of Pirates Online.
 * Giving out your Pirate's account information to someone, even via social media sites outside of Pirates Online, will more likely result in your Pirate being stolen, a ban, and termination of your account.


 * Never give out your account information or passwords to anyone.

Keep yer account safe under lock and key!

Accounts terminated for hacking or sharing personal information will not be reinstated. No one wants to lose all the time and effort spent building up a mighty Pirate.

NOTE: Disney GMs will never ask for your personal information in the game.

Congratulations to the winners of this year's Smash the Most Skeletons event! Jolly Roger's undead were undone with uncanny dispatch throughout the islands during this most recent challenge. '''Ye Pirates who had a "bone to pick" with the original tally were correct - we missed a few bones out there in the murky swamps. Here are the revised, final counts and winners.''' Though some of the top ten traded spots, all ten remained the same Pirates. Smashing job, mates!

These mighty Pirates who were bumped from that original top forty list still retain their gold prize of course, as well as honorable mention here:



More winners is always a bit o' fortune, savvy?

The top 10 Pirates with the most skeletons smashed win 2-weeks of complimentary Unlimited Access!

If your winning Pirate is Basic, your 2-weeks Unlimited Access time begins around noon (Pacific Time) this Sunday, July 14, 2013. If your winning Pirate already enjoys Unlimited Access, the complimentary 2 weeks are added onto the end of your existing Membership. Keep in mind, this bumps your regular billing date by two weeks.

NOTE: The Unlimited Access is applied to the Pirate's account who took part in the event. Please see your e-mail for details.

All other winners, you will receive your gold code prize in an e-mail on Monday, July 15. Your e-mail will include instructions on how to redeem your gold code in-game.

'''Our undying thanks to ALL Pirates who took part in defeating the most undead!'''

July 3rd - Celebrate Victory Over A Pirate's Nemesis
While many Pirates agree that Rage Ghosts pose the heartiest challenge in the Caribbean, Jolly Roger and his undead forces should never be taken lightly. Fortunately this particular nemesis met a smashing setback thanks to all the skeletons ye Pirates slayed last weekend! While we tally up all the broken bones, celebrate yer freedom from Jolly Roger’s undead grip with dazzling fireworks! Once the skies darken, enjoy the show with yer mates and Guilds on the beaches of Port Royal, Tortuga, or Padres Del Fuego. The fireworks can even be seen from your ship as you sail close to shore!

Captain Jack and island Peddlers await yer call...

'''Many hearty wishes to all our Pirate dads in the Caribbean this Sunday!'''

June 11th - Hearty Congrats to the Feats of Strength Winners!
Competition was fierce, and - we're happy to report - also friendly, with many racers wishing each other good luck, fair winds, and congratulations on their prizes. It does a salty ol' sea dog's heart good to hear, it does!

During thirty-six races over three days, Pirates fought, figured, and flexed their way to finish lines all over the islands. '''We thank all competitors for taking their best shot, and making this Event a great time for all! '''

''For those who think strength has nothing to do with this Event, think again! This brave lower-level Pirate was just steps away from a first place finish, when a high-level Fly Trap knocked him out in a single ill-timed blow.''

Thanks go out to all supportive friends and Guildmates as well, who turned out to cheer on their mates! Whether finishing first second, third, or not making it to the finish line at all, all racers do the Marceline GMs proud by giving it yer all.

Now it's our pleasure to present the fast-footed and quick-thinking winners:



''That's no shark, lad... just GM Thatch Roberts, enjoyin' a post-race cool-off with ye all.''



Flexing in their finest Pirate garb!

Hearty congratulations to all! Enjoy yer well-earned prizes, and the admiration of Pirates everywhere. ==June 7th - Quest for Captain Teague== "I'm glad ye be here. I could use your services. Could ye deliver this card to Capt. Teague? Oh, I forgot to mention... not quite sure where he is..." - Jack Sparrow

Starting this Saturday, Captain Jack Sparrow again seeks yer help finding his elusive father, Captain Teague. To lend a helping hand, visit Jack in the Rowdy Rooster Tavern on Port Royal and begin the Father’s Day Quest.

ALL Pirates may take this Quest, for the reward of gold and Double Reputation points for three hours!

WORDS OF CAUTION, MATES: As in all dealings with Jack Sparrow and his slippery father, the end to this Quest can be somewhat… tricky. Know ye that once you sink the Navy ship, Captain Teague is saved and yer Quest is complete! Your three hours of Double Reputation reward begin immediately thereafter, as shown by this icon over your Pirate:

The clock stops ticking on your Double Reputation time when you log out of the Caribbean.

This Quest is available to both Basic AND Unlimited Access Pirates.

What: Father's Day Quest

When: June 8 through June 17

Where: Start with Jack Sparrow at the Rowdy Rooster Tavern on Port Royal

June 3rd - Feats of Strength 2013 Details
The Feats of Strength Competition begins tomorrow!  The event runs over three days: Tuesday, June 4 to Thursday, June 6.'''  Pirates who are scheduled to compete: make sure you double-check your ' ' race day, time , and Ocean (server) in last week's schedule postings here on the Blog.  Here are the event details for our competitors:   Challenge #1 - Starting Line:   Competitors ALL meet on Devil's Anvil on their  scheduled day and on their scheduled Ocean at their designated start time.     (Example: Mermaid Minnie, 26, Typhoon Guild –  JUNE 5,  4:30pm ,  BEQUERMO )
 * All times posted in the schedules are Pacific Time (Los Angeles). '''

Officially listed competitors ONLY should check in with the Marceline Guild GM that is located on Devil's Anvil beach to start your race. You can identify them by the icon above their heads: The GM will then whisper a pass phrase AND location to only the competitors. Be prepared to memorize or write both down - and hang on, mate! If you leave before the GM says "GO", you will be disqualified. The GM will then put you on yer mark, get you set, and when the GM says "GO" the race is officially on!

 Challenge #2 - The Race: Do your best to get to the location the GM told you. Swift Foot potions, sailing, and teleporting are all fair game! '''When you get to the correct location, type your pass phrase in the chat window. '''Pretty much YELL IT OUT! An invisible Ghost GM will be at the correct location and will hear your cries! '''If you are at the right spot and have spoken the correct pass phrase, the Ghost GM will whisper to you a riddle. '''Mark well the GM's words, mate - this riddle contains clues to the final leg of the race: the Finish Line!

 Challenge #3 - The Finish Line: The home-stretch! Decipher the riddle given to you and make your way to that final location using the riddle as your clue. '''Once you are standing on the exact spot from the clue, yell out your pass phrase again AND use the emote /flex in front of the Marceline GM at the Finish Line. '''Flexing is your finishing move. The GM will acknowledge the First, Second and Third place winners of the race at the Finish Line.

'''GMs will be monitoring all areas of the course. Some GMs may be visible while others may not be, but they will be watching all competitors closely and checking for any sign of cheating. Any cheating or disrupting other racers will disqualify you. ''' All Pirates are welcome to watch and support friends and Guild mates. It's possible GMs may replace no-shows with any volunteers selected from the crowd at hand. Please keep your weapons stowed during the event. Pirates that harass competitors or GMs or interfere with the course in any way will be removed from the game. Good luck, mates!==May 31st - Barbary Corsair==

As the golden days of summer plunderin' sail closer, Peddlers offer another all-new set of Pirate gear this month:


 * Barbary Corsair

Take to the seas in these shadowy togs, and let yer mates and enemies alike know that you take yer swashbucklin' deadly serious indeed.

Seek out Peddlers selling this new gear, as well as last month's Scourge of the Seas, on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba.

Don't delay!

After all, the Pirate who rides at anchor will ne'er put out to sea, and these items are available for only a limited time.

This stealthy new garb makes a smart look for any Pirates competing in this coming week's Feats of Strength event.

If you're signed up to race, remember to check back here on Monday, June 3 for all the competition details!

May 17th - Last Weekend for Wildfire
This is the final weekend to pick up the exotic Wildfire garb from local Peddlers!

This festive finery, along with special tattoos honoring dear ol' mumsie, will no longer be available as of Monday, May 20.

Peddlers and talented Tattoo Artists can be found on the islands of Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba.

Don't miss these special holiday items this weekend, mates!

May 9th - Honor Mum's Day in a Pirate Way
It's dear ol' Mum’s special day this Sunday, so make sure ye mark it well in the Caribbean by sportin' some bonnie ink in her honor! Island Tattoo Parlors carry lovely designs for face, arms, and chest – all paying proper Pirate tribute to mumsy in flowers and hearts.

Peddlers too offer their special holiday outfit to wear for that very special lady – the beautiful and exotic Wildfire!

The Wildfire gear is available starting today through Sunday, May 19.

Peddlers and Tattoo Parlors await yer visit on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba.

Look yer best, and show dear ol' Mum how much ye care! ==May 1st - Scourge of the Seas==

Scores of Pirates proved themselves to be true scoundrels of the seas of late against the imperious Royal Navy. In honor of clearing so much red from the Caribbean, Peddlers offer ye a worthy way to look the part with:

Scourge of the Seas

This all-new garb is sure to strike fear in yer enemies, whether on land or sea!

Take a bearin' on these tempestuous togs, then set yerself a speedy course to a Peddler on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, or Cuba.

Seek Peddlers by their special symbol shown here:



Be quick about it, mates - Peddlers change up their wares every month, and will stop selling older items after a couple months!

April 26th - Sink the Most Navy Challenge Winners
Congratulations to the winners of our Sink the Most Navy Ships weekend event!



Scores of seafaring scoundrels made certain the Navy saw red this past weekend, with much of the Royal fleet now reportin' for duty at Davy Jones' Locker. We've seen a thing or two at sea we have, and tell ye true, these are some truly impressive tallies, mates!

Judging by these three-day totals, Norrington's Spyglass has been well-earned to be sure:



All winners, check your e-mail this weekend for your spyglass prizes and instructions on how to redeem your Legendary loot in-game.

The top 15 Pirates with the most Navy ships sunk also win 2-weeks of complimentary Unlimited Access!

If your winning Pirate is Basic, your 2-weeks Unlimited Access time begins around noon (PST) this Sunday, April 28, 2013.

If your winning Pirate currently enjoys Unlimited Access, the complimentary 2 weeks are added onto the end of your existing Membership. Keep in mind, this bumps your regular billing date by two weeks.

NOTE: The Unlimited Access is applied to the Pirate's account who took part in the event. Please see your e-mail for details.

'''Our hearty thanks to ALL Pirates who courageously cleared our waterways of those bothersome Royal Navy!'''

April 17th - Stop the Rising Red on the High Seas
Methinks the Royal Navy feels a bit left out of the action lately. Have ye noticed? Since all the scuttlebutt on Padres del Fuego recently, there's been a keen increase in Navy patrols on the high seas - no doubt seeking new and nefarious means to keep us prosperous Pirates under their imperial thumb.

Last month we saw the green tides clear from our blue seas; now let's rid ourselves of some red as well, savvy? Starting this Friday, April 19 through the end of Sunday, April 21, we challenge all Pirates to take to the seas and clear as many Navy ships as ye can!

Once the weekend competition is over and we've tallied the results, we’ll award the top 50 Pirates who sank the most Navy ships over the entire three-day challenge:


 * All 50 winners will each win an all-new, Legendary sailing item plundered from the Navy command itself: Commodore Norrington's Spyglass


 * The top 15 winners who blast the most Navy ships from the water will also receive 2 weeks of complimentary Unlimited Access!



NOTE: Prizes will be awarded through e-mail. Make sure your e-mail address is current on the Pirate’s account you’re competing with by clicking here!

What: Sink The Most Navy Ships

When: Friday, April 19 thru Sunday, April 21

Where: On the high seas wherever Navy ships are sighted

UPDATE: Bounty Hunter ships will NOT count toward yer winning numbers, mates (even those employed by the Navy, such as the En-Garde, Tally-Ho, and Battle Royale). However, the Navy's Ship of the Line, Goliath, and all other levels of Navy ships are fair game for this challenge.

As always, using glitches or cheating of any kind will disqualify you from the entire competition.

April 12th - Special Gold Codes Set Sail Soon
If you've not yet filled yer chests with the extra treasure from these two gold codes, then make haste, mates! Both golden codes expire at midnight this Sunday, April 14, 2013. Redeem these codes today (one use only per Pirate on yer account):

loot (1,000 gold coins) bounty (2,000 gold coins) Click here for help with redeeming codes in-game.

NOTE: If yer already at max gold, start spending first before redeeming! Each gold code respects the maximum amount of gold a Pirate can carry.

April 5th - Spotlight on the Heart of Padres
This weekend is yer last chance to claim this all-new, devastating Legendary weapon: the Heart of Padres del Fuego! After Sunday April 7, this special treasure trove of cutlasses will be emptied, and supply will be no more.

'Tis clear why Jolly Roger fought desperately to locate this mighty, lost loot, and why the Marceline GMs steered it clear of his rotted grasp. Harnessing the power of a volcano's core, the Heart of Padres boasts one of the deadliest Attack levels in the Caribbean:



The more you battle enemies with yer Heart of Padres Cutlass, the hotter and brighter its special Blood Fire ability burns. Once fully charged, its Cursed Fire skill deals extra damage to enemies in a blazing blast of emerald voodoo flame.

The Blade Storm Boost's ferocious fury of thrusts is a sight to behold – so why not show it off to some undead soon, savvy?

Supplies are running low, mates, so don't wait! Redeem the code: bloodfire Click here to learn how to redeem codes in-game.NOTE: You must have an available weapon slot in your inventory when you redeem this code.The Heart of Padres del Fuego can be redeemed by '''both Basic and Unlimited Pirates. As with all Legendary items, only Unlimited Access Pirates can equip  this devastating weapon in battle.'''

April 1st - Peddlers' Offerings for April
We're noticing many a Pirate around the Caribbean swashin' buckles with a bit more pride these days; their heads held high with a Legendary blade at their side. Wear admirable gear to match this April, with the attire of this proud office:

Admiral

These stately blues have been a red-hot request to make a comeback recently – and with a chapeau big as a ship, it's easy to see why!

Seek out Peddlers selling this favorite finery, as well as last month's Emerald Duelist, for a limited time on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba.

You'll spot them under their special Peddler symbol:



Remember, Peddlers offer something different every month and stop selling older items after a couple months, so don't delay and get your new threads today!

March 29th - The Heart of Padres del Fuego
Tia Dalma's visions confirm the Marceline Guild's fears – years back, when explosions destroyed Padres del Fuego, a hidden cache of El Patron's weapons were consumed by earth and magma. As Jolly Roger raised the slain Spanish buried on Padres into his service, he learned their dark secrets of the weapons' whereabouts. The volcano's constant lava flows finally unearthed these weapons deep in its winding caverns, and Jolly Roger began searching in earnest. But years baking inside the lava surrounded by Padres' unique volcano soul element has infused these cutlasses with the fiery power of the volcano's core itself... creating a powerful new Legendary weapon the Heart of Padres del Fuego.

While his invading forces gained ol' Jolly deeper and deeper access into the island, brave Pirates held off his last wave of attacks, and the Marceline Guild reached the legendary cutlasses first! To make certain this devastating weapon does not fall into the wrong hands, Marceline GMs will give Pirates access to a Heart of Padres del Fuego cutlass only through a secret code here:

Where: Near the entrance to the Lava Gorge.

When: Friday, March 29 - 11am to 12 noon (Pacific Daylight Time)

Saturday, March 30 - 4pm to 5pm (Pacific Daylight Time)

Get the code from the Marceline GMs, and pass it on to yer Guild and mates!

But be warned, don’t let our enemies catch on. As you'll discover, this new Legendary weapon is unlike very few in its power, and this may not be the end of the mysteries simmering beneath Padres del Fuego’s lava…

The Heart of Padres del Fuego can be redeemed by both Basic and Unlimited Access Members.

However, as with all Legendary items, only Unlimited Members can equip this devastating weapon in battle.

March 25th - Ocean (Server) Maintenance
We are reducing the total number of Oceans (servers) available not only to optimize overall playability, but also to bring Pirates together in a closer community. Sailing forward, the Oceans available after this change still include the most active servers that historically enjoy the most robust daily population of Pirates. We have also retained a good range of less populated servers for Pirates who prefer a quieter, less-crowded play experience.

We hope you find the Caribbean's new server lineup to your liking.

Sincerely, The Crew @ Pirates Online

March 22nd - The Battle for Padres del Fuego in Peril
Jolly Roger's undead hordes continue marching mercilessly upon Padres del Fuego this month, sometimes staging multiple attacks in a single day. While brave Pirates have repelled many of these invasions, we have lost to Jolly's sheer numbers and infernal Curse more times than not.

Each time Jolly Roger successfully breaches our barricades, his cursed grasp reaches deeper and deeper into the catacombs and lava gorges... and closer to what he so desperately seeks.

"Seeks" but has not yet found, which means we still have a fighting chance.

Band together and turn the tide, mates – defend Padres to the last Pirate, and stop those undead cold!

March 19th - Green Tides Soon Subside
We hope all yer quests and voyages have been as lucky as the green shamrock this past week, for those green tides will soon ebb.

Be sure to get yer green tattoos, emerald hair, and grand St. Patrick’s Day gear today – for after March 20 they will vanish quicker than GM Shamus O’Malley himself

Speaking of that rascally GM, Shamus just can't get enough of celebrating with you Pirates.

He's enlisted the help of ALL the Marceline GMs for one last hurrah, and to hand out rare golden knuckles to all lucky Pirates they meet tomorrow, Wednesday March 20!

If you missed out this weekend, here's one last chance to claim this special golden prize!

What: Last Chance for Golden Gift

Where: The northern Wild Islands:


 * Isla Perdida, Rumrunner’s Isle, Isla Cangrejos, and Driftwood Island

When: Wednesday, March 20 – 2:30pm to 4pm (Pacific Daylight Time)



GM Old Sooty materialized right in the midst of many a' grand, green jigs.



GM Shamus O'Malley rallied these lucky Pirates with golden knuckles, as the brave group prepared to defend Padres in the distance.



March 15th - Catch A Bit O' Gold This Weekend
GM Shamus O’Malley and the green-shaded ghost GM Old Sooty will be dashing about celebrating St. Patrick's Day this weekend in the Caribbean, with a new special treat this year for those lucky enough to catch them – a Rare golden goodie no Pirate has yet seen!

If yer lucky enough to spot either GM Shamus or ghostly GM Old Sooty this weekend, ask them politely to share some spot o' golden delight with ye before they vanish. Seek out Shamus and Old Sooty on the Wild Islands: Isla Perdida, Rumrunner’s Isle, Isla Cangrejos, and Driftwood Island.

You may find it easier to attract these elusive GMs by wearing a bit o' the green in yer hair, clothes, and tattoos!

What: Catch GMs Shamus and Old Sooty

Where: The northern Wild Islands:

Isla Perdida, Rumrunner’s Isle, Isla Cangrejos, and Driftwood Island

When: Saturday, March 16 – 2:30pm to 4pm PST

Sunday, March 17 – 10:30am to 12pm PST

Happy St. Patrick's Day, and good luck, mates!

March 8th - Green Gets Pirate Eyes Smilin’
While Jolly Roger curses our islands to overrun Padres del Fuego this March, a friendlier sort o’ spell sets on the Caribbean today as GM Shamus O’Malley’s annual mischief turns the sea a sparkling shade of emerald green!

Not only has the leprechaun Pirate poured barrels of green dye into our sailing waters, he’s also greened-up local Barbers and Ink Parlors with special emerald hair-dye, and Irish-themed tattoos.

While yer out plundering for gold and emeralds, make sure you're wearing the lucky green gear offered at Peddlers, including the Emerald Duelist for March, and the special St. Patrick’s Day outfit also available for a limited time.



Peddlers can be found selling their wares on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba. Seek them out under their special symbol:



What: Green Tidings for St. Patrick’s Day

Where: Only in the Caribbean

When: March 8 through March 20



Keep a weather eye out for more St. Patrick’s shenanigans on the horizon, courtesy of GM Shamus…



'''Upgrade to Unlimited Access ''' to wear all Common and Rare clothing items!

March 3rd - Jolly Roger’s March on Padres
Marceline GM Ben Bowman recently stared down quite a sight, questing in undead-infested Las Pulgas on Padres del Fuego: several of Jolly Roger’s trusted lieutenants holding shadowy council with none other than undead General Darkhart himself.

From what could be understood out of their rotted mouths, Jolly Roger has lately become obsessed with the fiery island.

He’s ordered his undead forces to target Padres del Fuego in full force, marching mercilessly on the island until the object of his obsession has been found.

An undiscovered weapon of power, forgotten by the ill-fated Conquistadors long ago? Or some other deadly secret bubbling deep in the mysterious molten magma?



WHAT: Jolly Roger’s March on Padres

WHERE: Padres del Fuego

WHEN: March 3 - March 30

When you sight the hideous Harkaway circling off Padres, sound the alarm!

Arm yerselves to repel Jolly Roger’s hordes from Padres del Fuego – if his undead forces are finally foiled, perhaps we Pirates can uncover this mystery first…

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!
