November 3rd - Gold from a Ghostly CaptainCaptain Cromwell haunts areas of Port Royal trying to make good in death what he did wrong in life. To release his spirit from the bonds of earth he must repay gold he stole that was intended to free an innocent man. Read more about Captain Cromwell and John Moses. Cromwell must repay the gold he stole to free his spirit from the bonds of earth. Captain Cromwell now roams the earth looking for 'good, worthy Pirates'. If you are one, tell Cromwell when you see him, mention the name of John Moses, or tell him 'I've come for Innocent John.' Cromwell will then give you a secret code that can be redeemed for gold.

Don't be sorry mates... it was the curse. You couldn't help yourself!
Now that the full moon has gone away, so have Jolly's tricks and terrors... or have they? Since Jolly was forced to retreat so many times, he turned his vengeance to the moon, and cursed all the pirates to fight against once another. That didn't work either, so what will happen next? One thing is for sure... Jolly will return. Count on it. Don't imagine that because you fought him off this time he's given up. Stay ready, and pray for more brave pirates to join the battle. October 29th - The Curse of the Muertos Moon ReturnsThe tides are not the only thing affected by the full moon on All Hallows' Eve.

To acquire the Cannon Swab you must first finish the Cannonball Quest Run. Using the Cannon Swab will earn you a Cannon Loading Skill.

Where: On the beaches of Devil's Anvil (C named Oceans/servers)
March 17th - Green Seas - Irish ItemsThanks to Pirates like Shamus O' Malley and Captain Walter of the Marceline guild, we're happy to report the EITC won't be shipping any green dyes or inks to Europe this spring. In fact, the Caribbean's resources are staying in the islands as several shipments of EITC cargo were recently raided and barrels of dye and ink were "commandeered" for the Caribbean shop keepers.
March 13th - Where in the Caribbean is Shamus O' Malley?Looking for Shamus O' Malley? Remember, Shamus doesn't like large crowds, look for him off the beaten path or in shops, or lonely beaches. When you do find Shamus, greet him and then whisper the secret phrase. Have a pen and paper handy, Shamus will whisper you a code that can be redeemed in-game for gold! Be quick - Shamus looks to spread his fortune with many Pirates (only on St. Patrick's Day) and will be off before you know it! How to use Shamus' code for gold:

Legend has it that algae bloom is an omen of things to come - that green seas attract large sea creatures, like whales and giant squids.
March 9th - Send Us a Sea Shanty and Sing Along!To keep Pirates from tiring of the same old routine, a captain or deckmaster will lead a crew in a "call and response" song - or sea shanty. The tradition comes from Europe where Irish, British and French sailors sing songs to excite their crews. Sea shanties help coordinate work on deck and keep crews entertained during long voyages.
(Chorus) The tide be with us! And just in time! Pull the rope! Haul the line! (Chorus) Captain bringin' us home just fine!
