Friend
From Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki
Rule #1 of the Pirate's Code - Make Friends Wisely
A pirate can try to sail these treacherous waters alone, but its best to sail with mates you can trust. And trust is worth more than gold when it comes to pirates. After all, would you turn your back on just any dog when it comes to plunder?
A friend is another pirate/player that the player wishes to work with, assist, or keep in contact with. Friends can be added to a Friends list of pirates the player can maintain.
In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, a Friend can come in one of two forms.

[edit] Pirate Friend
A pirate friend is simply another character that the pirate player has associated with, sailed with or aided in a quest. After a time, they decide its best if they can keep tabs on another and find each other again if they need help.
To make a pirate friend, simply click on the pirate with the left-mouse button, click on their name in the Chat box (lower-left), or click on their name from your crew or guild mate list.
There is a Friend icon that will appear with the pirate's information. Click on it to ask this character to be your pirate friend.
If they say yes, then you can Whisper, Challenge or Go To that pirate any time you like.
[edit] Player Friend
Since some players keep more than one pirate, it may be difficult to find a friend when you or they are not playing the pirates who are already friends.
To that end, you can select Player Friend instead of Pirate Friend. The advantage is that no matter what pirate you or they are playing, you can still whisper, challenge or Go To them.

[edit] Adding Friends
To ask another player to be your friend, simply click on the character or select their name from the crew or guild list, then select the Friend option.
An invitation will be sent to the pirate to become friends. If they accept by clicking OK, then they will appear in your Friend List.
- Hint - Some pirates try and 'friend' every pirate they encounter. But, one of the first rules of the Pirate's Code is to make friends carefully. Also, some other pirates consider random friending rude.
[edit] Friend List
The friends list can be called up in game by pressing the F key to bring up the Hearties menu or click on the Sea Chest then the Mug Logo. Select the Friends tab is selected in that menu.
If a friend is currently online, they will appear at the top of the list, with a green indicator light. Absent friends will appear greyed out with a red indicator.
A player may only have a finite number of friends (100). After this point, other players will get an error message if they try to befriend you and you will not be able to add more Pirate Friends. Once this limit is exceeded, the only option is to remove another friend from the list before adding more.
However, at times you may see more than 100 listed. This is because the Friend list will also show the pirate of any Player Friend who is currently online.
[edit] Friend Options
By clicking on the Friend's name from the list, a list of options become avaiable.
- Crew - Invite Friend into a Crew
- Friendship - Invite for Friendship or Remove from Friend List
- Go To - A pirate can teleport directly to their friend.
- Guild - A Guild Officer can invite a friend into their Guild. Guild Masters can promote or demote officers, too.
- Ignore - Ignore a Friend's request for the current session.
- Report - Report the player for bad behavior, etc.
- Skirmish - Invite Friend to PvP contest.
- Whisper - Send a secret message only the friend can see.
