In addition to the mystery gift, every participant of the Tempest Box Promotion will also receive a commemorative "Beach Curiosity" trophy!

* The painted ships will be bestowed as a "sealed deed" item which can be used from your pirate's inventory to cause the prize ship's deed to appear. The prize ship will be docked at your home island. LE-Painted ships are standard ships, and thus do not have a special "Limited Edition" icon on their dock/vessel image.
