New Quests Added!
Outfit Your Pirate in Style

This month marks the introduction of three new Quests that will give Unlimited Access Pirates a chance to suit up in some prime Pirate gear.

Stop by the tailor shop on Port Royal and start the Pirate's Life Quest -- you could earn a five-piece outfit that will cover your Pirate from head to toe. This outfit includes a red and white polka-dot bandana, yellow shirt, short buckle boots, belt, and patched pantaloons. What more could you ask for? How about a six-piece outfit? You'll definitely stand out from the crowd in this unique outfit that's picked up after completing the Clothing for a Pirate Quest. Looking to imitate an infamous Pirate? Try Captain Barbossa's wears on for size. For advanced Pirates, Adoria's Family Quest will give you a chance to earn Barbossa's effects, including his famous feathered hat. Read more.

New Enemies Set to Invade the Islands
Pirates Beware!

In addition to new Quest adventures, rumor has it, new enemies will be invading the Caribbean. These new enemies will pose quite a challenge to many a buccaneer.

Wow interesting! Does this mean that basics now get full treasure does that include treasure quests? And for unlimited it said "TP Access to ALL caribbean islands" i wonder if that includes wild islands if it did then its time to sell the war sloop

Probably not wild islands.
I bet that eventually they'll make a quest for people who turn level 40 to get tp access to kingshead.
Other than that i'd rather sail to wild islands.

By "Treasure" they mean the stuff you see when you type "U" - the things like "Rudyard's Teeth" or "Tia Dalma's Menagerie." I have one pirate stuck at the boss battle stage after that last "free preview weekend" (all the rest had done theirs already) and that pirate CAN NOT do their boss battle.

There are no teleports to wild islands. Basic members have to do all the same leveling to get the teleport totem quests (which means that PDF is still impossible, unless you previously had unlimited.)
