• Enemies and ships now drop loot containers, which contain a variety of treasure.
• Sailing Items can be found in loot containers, which can help improve your sailing skills.
• New skills can be found on some of these new weapons. These skills can only be used when the weapons are being used. There are also two new types of skills:

Known Issues - March 25, 2010

• Mac users are unable to log into the Test Servers. We're working to resolve this soon.
• Crash may occur when collecting an item and placing it in a slot that already has an item. Work Around: Use the right-mouse button to collect items or make sure a slot is empty when plundering items.
• During the Barbossa pistol tutorial, you may not be able to shoot the monkey. You may press 'Esc' to continue with the tutorial.
• Some Spanish and French Undead may have weird motion trails on their weapons.
