Trophies are special rewards given to pirates for exceptional achievements. They can be displayed on pirate info pages and in a gallery, similar to portrait galleries. An example of when a trophy might be awarded is when a pirate achieves an ocean wide ultimate standing in a particular puzzle or scores an incredible in a duty report. Trophies are permanent, so they cannot be traded between pirates or taken away when the circumstances with which they were awarded change (e.g. if a pirate later loses their ultimate standing). However, trophies awarded due to bugs in the game have sometimes been revoked. You may view a pirate's trophies in your browser by going to http://OCEAN.puzzlepirates.com/yoweb/trophy/?pirate=PIRATENAME, where OCEAN is replaced with the ocean name, and PIRATENAME is replaced with the name of the pirate on that ocean.
The actual criteria listed below are conjectured, and have not been (nor will be) confirmed by a developer. They should therefore be treated as unreliable until more specific information is discovered through player observations. Only trophies that have been observed on actual, in-game pirate information pages are listed below.
Unless otherwise indicated, the pirate can only meet the requirements through actions taken after release 2006-10-17. A pirate continues to accrue credit towards a trophy over the life of the pirate. For example, a crab cleared during bilging today will always count towards the various crab trophies.
Trophies that are earned are never removed except if they are triggered by a bug. Thus, if a player earned the Ultimate Crafter trophy before the existence of Blacksmithing, they will keep the Ultimate Crafter trophy. Pirates who did not have the Ultimate Crafter trophy before Blacksmithing was added to the game must now earn the Ultimate Blacksmithing trophy in order to earn Ultimate Crafter.
Blockade Trophies
These trophies are awarded exclusively to pirates participating in blockades.
 Battered Hat Awarded to pirates who sail, carp and bilge for at least 15 minutes on two of the stations and at least 10 minutes on the third in a blockade. The puzzling can be done in one or more rounds of the same blockade. |  Weathered Helm Awarded to pirates at the helm of a ship for 50% of a blockade round, whether on the sea battle board or doing other duties while at the helm. The ship must be on the board and able to influence blockade buoys. |
The following trophies are earned based on blockade buoys influenced by ships boarded by the pirate. Each buoy influenced counts, so the pirate may receive credit for multiple buoys in a single turn. The pirate need not be on a duty station to receive the trophy. (Example: To earn the Flag Bearer, the ship must influence two buoys for fifty turns or one buoy for a hundred turns or some other combination that adds to a hundred.) Note: There can be multiple flags on a single buoy, but the number of flags is irrelevant.
 Flag Bearer 100 buoys |  Color Guard 500 buoys |  Old Glory 2000 buoys |  Victory Banner ? buoys |
Duty Puzzle Maneuvers
These trophies are awarded by earning a certain number of maneuver tokens in a blockade, flotilla, or Atlantis attack, while obtaining the specified rating in the duty report for that puzzle. Each level shows a trophy for a higher number of tokens. For example, the Towers of Water can only be earned after the Pillars of Bilge has been earned.

Historical Notes
- On 8-11-2008, gold ore was changed to gold nuggets on the Ice Ocean. The gold trophies had their requirements set to 10 times the original numbers, but anyone who had already foraged gold had their internal numbers set to 10 times what they were. The First Gold trophy was later changed back to needing 1 nugget.
- When zombies were introduced, the zombie-specific trophies were incorrect. "Zombie Hunter" used the "Fresh Zombie Hand" picture and vice versa. Same for "Zombie Slayer" and "Preserved Zombie Hand" as well as "Zombies' Bane" and "Bronzed Zombie Hand." This was fixed in release 2007-11-06.
