Avast, matey! It be the Pirate life for ye when Fish ‘N’ Ships launches on March 31, 2015!

New Class: Pirate

If yer tired of life as a land lubber, prepare to set sail as the Pirate, our new master and commander of the salty seas! Of course, it’s not as simple as pinching a Parrot and plundering booty. You’ll need to hone your Piratical abilities to keep from walking the plank:

Plunderbuss (Passive): Shots from your trusty musket fill your pocket with precious doubloons. The more change you have, the stronger your broadsides be.

First Mate: Set up a cannon for your trusty Parrot and let your enemies taste its lead. With all the power he packs, you’ll owe him a tot o’ grog.

Pretend Pirate: Health dropping like an anchor to the deep? Strap a bomb to your bilge rat and send him out to distract your foes. (He’s also a blast at parties!)

Man o’ War: When you absolutely need to keelhaul your foes, just light the fuse of your Man O’ War and watch as it turns ‘em to chum. Yum!

New Biome: Treasure Isles

While sailing the seas of the Treasure Isles, you best keep an eye out for plunder and privateers both. Pirate fortresses abound, and you won’t be wantin’ them (or their pernicious parrots) to catch your crew unawares. Sure, the shark folk are liable to scupper your kippers if you give ‘em a chance, but rumors tell of a great golden golem (and his seashell treasure) who’s even more perilous yet!

There ye have it me hearties: a quick look at the Treasure Islands and Pirate Class coming soon to a Trove near you. If it don’t quench your thirst, cast your spyglass on our Fishing and Ships preview as well!
