Back by popular demand, this Father's Day Quest returns starting June 17 and will be available through Father's Day, June 21. Complete it and you'll earn a limited time x2 Reputation reward!


Go Incognito as a Stowaway
Hazardous Waters Cause for New Transportation

The EITC has been conducting more patrols and looking for Pirates responsible for sinking EITC ships in the Caribbean. Those patrols have made the waters around the islands a bit more hazardous. Pirates trying to avoid a run-in with the EITC are now being smuggled on ships by becoming Stowaways. Learn how to be a Stowaway and about the origins of Stowaways.



Crew Days Continue
Join a Crew, Make a Friend


Don't forget Crew Days! Every Friday and Saturday night from 7-8 PM Pacific Time, in Antiros and Baraba Oceans, on Port Royal Beach (where Shipwright Darby Drydock is located), Pirates meet to join crews and share tales of adventure. More details.


Guild Spotlight
Meet Black Bart's Krewe

This month we salute Black Bart's Krewe! Led by the notorious LVL 40 Bartholomew Foulsteel, Black Bart's Krewe is a band of nearly 200 rascals and knaves, some of which rank in the top 50 players for overall enemies defeated. A guild of strong Pirates like, Combat Lizzy, Charlotte Firemenace, Molly Bluesilver, and Redfury -- they're not only handy dealing with undead skeletons, but also reach out a hand to help those in need. Many a Pirate's quest (like the liberation of the Black Pearl) has been completed with this guild's help!
