Monthly Seals
2012
May 2012
An important part of being a Pirate King or Queen, aside from collecting lots of booty and generally causing mayhem, is giving back to your fellow pirates by throwing events and competitions. Unleash your inner Patron in May and earn your Seal o' Piracy by...
- Performing 1 action that earns your pirate Patron Reputation (host a tournament or event blockade, or participate in a tournament or puzzle competition. Note that there must be more than 10 participants in order to qualify for the seal)
April 2012
Some might say it's foolish to voyage into waters as dangerous as Atlantis or the Haunted Seas, but you and I both know that the riches they contain are more than worth the risk. If you're looking to grab your share of that booty, as well as this month's Seal o' Piracy, you'll want to...
- Visit 2 of 3 Sea Monster locations (Atlantean Citadel, Cursed Island, Haunted Seas Graveyard)
March 2012

November 2011
November is traditionally a month of rest and relaxation in Puzzle Pirates after a typically harrowing "Shocktober", and this year is no exception. Which do you typically prefer? Snarling werewolves, or pumpkin pie? Otherworldly terror, or giving thanks for no longer being inflicted with otherworldly terror? Thankfully, you don't have to make such difficult choices: you can enjoy both! And what's the best way to enjoy November? Why, it's earning your Seal o' Piracy by...
- Completing 12 parlor game sessions (Treasure Drop, Drinking, Swordfighting, Rumble, Spades, and Hearts - only sessions in tournaments, at the parlor table or by direct challenge count)
October 2011
October is traditionally the spookiest month of the Puzzle Pirates year. We think this is a little unfair to October, as we've always been a little unduly freaked out by March, but who are we to break from tradition? Thus, if you want this month's Seal o' Piracy, you'll have to...
- Defeat 2 of the 3 monster types: skellies, zombies, and werewolves
September 2011
We all have a favorite Expedition type. Mine, for example, is treasure hauling shipwrecks. I could probably do that all day long, taking breaks only to eat and roll around in a giant pile of coins. But variety is the key to a healthy pirate lifestyle, and so this September we want you to stretch your legs a bit. Broaden your horizons! Expand your boundaries! In practical terms, that means that if you want this month's Seal o' Piracy, you'll have to...
- Complete four different types of Expedition (Imperial Outpost, Viking Defense, Buried Treasure Atoll, Lost Shipwreck, Merchant Hunt, Brigand King Hunt)
August 2011
As we begin to head into the Dog Days of summer, we felt it would be appropriate to reward everyone who is particularly "dogged" this month. Of course, by that we don't mean barking loudly at strangers or sticking your head out of a porthole and letting your tongue lap in the breeze. No, if you're looking to earn your Seal o' Piracy for this month, you'll need to...
- Complete a non-Navy session of 5 different duty puzzles (Bilging, Carpentry, Sailing, Rigging, Gunning, Navigation)
July 2011
The theme for Puzzle Pirates this month is "Summer Vacation"! And what better place to vacation this summer than in a friendly, inviting Sea Monster Zone? The Seal o' Piracy for July 2011 has been brought to you by the Cursed Isles Tourism Board, and if you want it, you'll have to...
- Visit 2 of 3 Sea Monster locations (Atlantean Citadel, Cursed Island, Haunted Seas Graveyard)
June 2011
Don't think we're going to let you off easily this month just because it's the beginning of summer. No way! It'll take some elbow grease if you want to take home the prize this month. Those ships, potions, hats, tables and casks of rum aren't going to make themselves, after all, so get to work! In order to earn your Seal o' Piracy for June 2011, you'll have to...
- Complete sessions of 4 different crafting puzzles
May 2011
With the arrival of Yu Jian's fleet, the seas are more dangerous than ever.

So, if you want to earn your Seal o' Piracy for May 2011, you'll have to make the seas a safer place by...
- Fighting in 3 Brigand King melees at sea (Cursed Isles and Brigand King Blockades not included; credit is awarded for reaching the melee, whether you win or lose)
April 2011
April is the time of year when the weather first begins to change, and young men's fancy turns to thoughts of clobbering brigands. Indeed, it's well known across the oceans that April displays of power bring May flowers! That's a scientific fact. So, if want your Seal o' Piracy for April 2011, and you don't want to be solely responsible for May ending up a flowerless, sad month, yer gonna have to...
- Complete 25 sea battles
March 2011
We're going a little crazy this month: March's Seal o' Piracy can be earned just by taking part in some tournaments. You don't have to win, you just have to play! We assume you were going to take part in a few tournaments this month, anyway, so this is just a fun bonus! It's March Madness! Well, not quite. At any rate, to snag your Seal for March 2011, all you need to do is...
- Participate in five tournaments
February 2011
Thanks to Valentine's Day, February is the unofficial month of love! And what do pirates love the most? No, I wasn't thinking of treasure. No, not rum, either. Look, do you want to hear about the Seal o' Piracy for February 2011 or not?
What I was referring to was expeditions. Pirates love expeditions! So much so, that in order to earn your Seal for this month, you'll need to...
- Complete four different types of Expedition (Imperial Outpost, Viking Defense, Buried Treasure Atoll, Lost Shipwreck)
January 2011
Noooo! It's the Dead of Winter! They're coming to get you! THEY'RE COMING TO... OK, they're actually coming a bit slower than usual, on account of the cold. Well, while we wait for our impending doom courtesy of the shambling hordes of zombies, I'll let you in on how to earn the Seal o' Piracy for January 2011. All you have to do is...

- Complete a non-Navy session of 5 different duty puzzles (Bilging, Carpentry, Sailing, Rigging, Gunning, Navigation)
November 2010
We were going to use this space to advocate that most Puzzle Pirates take some time in November to make certain that their crops are harvested and everything is in order for the coming Winter, but then we remembered that pirates don't typically farm. In that case, we instead heartily recommend you take it easy this month and earn your Seal o' Piracy by...
- Completing 12 parlor game sessions (Treasure Drop, Drinking, Swordfighting, Rumble, Spades, and Hearts - only sessions in tournaments, at the parlor table or by direct challenge count)
October 2010
Every October, the hallowed tradition of trick-or-treating takes on a slightly different form in Puzzle Pirates. There isn't any candy (just Pieces of Eight), and rather than knocking on doors, you shoot enemy ships full of holes. It's generally agreed that this is a much more elegant process. We know Halloween isn't until the end of the month, but why not get a head start on your, ahem, "trick-or-treating" this year and earn your Seal o' Piracy for October 2010 by...
- Facing 10 Barbarians and 10 Brigands in Sea Battle
September 2010
With the rise of a new Sea Monster Lair, we think it's high time you pay a visit to some of the locales on the high seas that you may have previously been neglecting, lest they get jealous.

This August, we want you to shift things up by playing a single session of a whole bunch of the puzzles. Labor, parlor, duty, whatever: just play 12 different ones this month, and we'll give you your August Seal o' Piracy. Sounds easy enough, right? Oh, and your favorite puzzle does count for this: we're not monsters.
Once again, to earn your Seal o' Piracy for August, you'll need to...
- Play 12 different puzzles (Battle Navigation does not count as a puzzle for the purposes of this Seal)
July 2010
A variety of new items from the Eastern Seas have washed ashore this summer, including a new type of vessel, the Junk. The wise pirate does his homework on any possible opponent, so earning your Seal o' Piracy for July will require you to scout out the capabilities of these new vessels. This will require you to...

June 2010
An onslaught of information on their movements have made the Brigand Kings much more prevalent in recent days, but this hasn't made them any less brutal in combat. Test your strength against them this June and earn your Seal o' Piracy by...

- Complete sessions of 4 different crafting puzzles
March 2010
Pirates aren't known to be the most hygienic folk, so in order to earn the March Seal o' Piracy for 2010, ye'll have to get a bit creative with yer Spring cleaning. Rather than pick some of the trash up from yer shack or clean yer ears out, we instead recommend cleansing the ocean of brigands and barbarians by...

Any sea battle counts, regardless of who it is against, as long as the final brawl is completed.
