Pirate Emporium
*Tia Dalma Costume *
- Dress as the enigmatic Tia Dalma and spread your otherworldly wisdom across the waves.
- This Costume comes with the Bon Voyage emote, where players Summon an apparition of a Galleon, then send it on its way across the horizon.
*Captain Redd Costume *
- Dress as the courageous Captain Redd as you search for treasure in secret grottos, then carry it triumphantly to auction.
- Players wearing this costume can perform the Redd’s Heckle Emote. A pirate can always spot the true treasure at an auction - and it won’t be laying eggs when using this emote.
*Cutler Beckett Costume *
- Dressing as Cutler Beckett is really just good business, with this costume set containing two variants - one with a matching hairstyle, one without.
- Whilst wearing this costume, players can perform the Civilised Drink emote. Afterall sometimes a little perturbation is needed to achieve the perfect tankard of grog for a refined palate.
*Castaway Cat *
- A mystical moggy that, thanks in part to being dressed as Tia Dalma, is as unpredictable as the sea.
*Prominent Prisoner Monkey *
- You may now, henceforth, commence with the acquisition and dispersal of bananas. Savvy?
*A Pirates Life Painting Bundles *
- Captains can now purchase a range of new paintings from the Emporium to hang onboard their ship, reciting the tales from A Pirate’s Life. Captains can purchase individual paintings of their choice or pick up a bundle for a sizeable discount.

- Painting Bundle 2 contains the 'Eternal Freedom', 'The Cursed Ferryman' and 'What Lurks Below' paintings.
- Painting Bundle 3 holds the 'A Broken Blade', 'The Grotto's Hoard' and 'The Bayou Beckons' ready to adorn the walls of the finest ships.
*Spring Blossom Weapons Bundle *
- Spring is all about celebrating new life. You can use these weapons to make some space for it…
- This bundle includes the Spring Blossom Pistol, Blunderbuss, Cutlass and Eye of Reach variants.
*Spring Blossom Fishing Rod *
- With its line spun from sacred twine, any angler would be blessed to use this gnarled fishing rod.
*Spring Blossom Ship Collection *
- Previously featured in the Season Six Plunder Pass, the Spring Blossom Ship Collection is now available to purchase from the Pirate Emporium.
*Tankard Tricks Emote Bundle *
- Grog's your favourite tipple, and you know plenty of ways to fully appreciate its fabulous flavours which you can show off to all your crew when performing these emotes.
*Freebie Roosting Rogue Emote *
- Just because you’re up in the crow’s nest doesn’t mean you have to get so deep into character…
*Blooming Brigand Bundle (Store Only) *
- No matter what the time of year may be, you'll always have a spring in your step when your trusty vessel and even the contents of your armory are bursting with vitality. The Blooming Brigand Bundle contains the Spring Blossom Weapon Bundle and Fishing Rod for your pirate, the Spring Blossom Figurehead and Sails for your ship, 550 Ancient Coins to spend in the Pirate Emporium and a free bonus of 25,000 gold.
