This is for the second promotion in November 2013. For the first promotion (i.e. the usual, traditional seasonal promotion) in November 2013, please see "November 2013 promotion".

Prize Purse Promotion

On select days between the posting of this announcement and 11:59 PM PDT November 26th 2013, players will receive one Wine-colored "Prize Purse" for each $9.99 spent on doubloons or subscription time. The image of a Prize Purse will be displayed next to qualifying purchases.

What are "Prize Purses"?

A "Prize Purse" is a one-time use Miscellaneous, in-game item that will grant your pirate Pieces of Eight when opened (similar to a Piggy bank). Most Prize Purses will contain between 400 and 5,000 Pieces of Eight each, with a small chance of a payout of 100,000 Pieces of Eight. An unopened Prize Purse can be held in portraits.

Collecting Your Prize Purse

Your Prize Purse items can be collected in-game by logging in and viewing the "Ahoy" section on the pirate with which you would like to receive it.

Prize Purses will appear in the Miscellaneous section of your Booty. Click on the item and select, "Open Purse". This will destroy the Prize Purse item and deliver the Pieces of Eight it contains to your pirate.
