Booch Box Promotion

During the Booch Box Promotion, players will receive a "mystery gift" with purchases of $9.99 or more made between 10 AM PDT August 29th and 3 PM PDT September 2nd.

About Colors

Colors in the Booch Box are randomly generated at the time the box is opened. Colors include magenta and seasonal colors Plum, Chocolate, Wine, Ice Blue, Spring Green or Banana. Seasonal item colors are not available for general sale from Tailors or other in-game shoppes. They are available in this promotion as a familiar color, as the color of clothing prizes, as the primary and/or secondary color of the furniture prizes, as the color of the ship prizes, as the color of the trinket prizes and as a special chroma item.

About Chromas

Chromas are items that are carried in the Miscellaneous section of your Booty panel. They can be used to permanently change the primary or secondary color of any existing piece of clothing, except the Savvy Hat and any clothing item that lacks color options.

* The Painted War Frig and Sloop items 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. These War Frigs and Sloops are standard ships, and thus do not have a special "Limited Edition" icon on their dock/vessel image.
