Wine Box Promotion

During the Wine Box Promotion, players will receive a "mystery box" gift with purchases of $9.99 or more made between 10:00 AM PST November 13, 2015 and 3:00 PM PST November 23, 2015. This promotion is open to players using whichever payment method they prefer (including credit card, Paypal, and even mailed check!). Purchases of either doubloons or subscription during the promotion period are eligible. You can be certain that your purchase qualifies if an image of a Wine Box shows up next to your chosen package on the subscription or doubloon billing page when you go to make your purchase.

Your mystery gift will be redeemable on any one pirate associated with your account. If you made your qualifying purchase while logged in to the game, you may need to log out and back on again for it to appear. Available mystery gift items include...

  • Wine Monkey with Tricorn Hat Familiars
  • Wine Octopus Familiars
  • Tan/Wine Parrot Familiars
  • Wine Rabbits Pets
  • Wine-Painted Sloops, Dhows and War Brigs
  • Admiral Finius Figurines
  • Wine Furniture
  • Wine Chromas
  • Wine Mystery Box Trinkets
  • Wine Clothing

Clothing rewards do NOT include rags and are of Good quality or better.

In addition to the mystery gift, every participant of the Wine Mystery Box Promotion will also receive a commemorative "Vinyarrrd Fresh" trophy!

About Wine

Wine is a special seasonal item color that will not be available for general sale from Tailors or other in-game shoppes. It is available in this promotion as the color of all the clothing prizes, as the colors of the pet and familiar prizes, as the primary and 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 Wine-Painted Sloop, Dhow and War Brig will be bestowed as "sealed deed" items 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. Wine-Painted Sloops, Dhows and War Brigs are standard ships, and thus do not have a special "Limited Edition" icon on their dock/vessel image.
