Purchases of either doubloons or subscription during the promotion period are eligible. Please remember that the current payment limits on your account apply and cannot be exceeded.
As with previous events, your mystery gift will be redeemable on any one pirate associated with your account. Available mystery gift items include...
- Banana/Banana Parrot Familiar

In addition to the mystery gift, every participant of the Banana Box Promotion will also receive a commemorative "Skull n' Crosscones" trophy! Arr!
About Banana
Banana 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 a familiar color, as the color of all the clothing prizes, as the primary color of the furniture prizes, and as a special chroma item.
The name 'Banana' was selected by popular vote on several player-submitted suggestions. More information on those contests can be found here, here and here.
About Chromas
Chromas are an item 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.
Promotion Details
Purchases eligible for the Banana Box Promotion must be made between 3 PM PDT July 9th and 3 PM PDT July 19th. This will be referred to as the "promotion period".
Subscription
New $9.95 or more subscriptions during the promotion period will receive a mystery gift. Players with an existing $9.95 or more subscription will also receive a mystery gift. You can become eligible for an additional mystery gift if you are already subscribed by extending your subscription by $9.95 or more during the promotion period. You can learn more about extending an existing subscription here. Coinscriptions and gifted subscription time do not count as a purchase and do not count towards the Banana Box Promotion.
Paypal
All payments completed with Paypal during the period of the promotion will result in a player receiving a mystery gift. It is, however, important to note that some Paypal payment options, including those initiated from a bank account, can take several days to clear. Payments cleared after the period of promotion has expired are not eligible for mystery gifts. eChecks are the most common form of "delayed" Paypal payment.
Checks & Money Orders
Players paying with checks or money orders mailed to our office are also eligible to receive a mystery gift. However, these payments must be received at our office prior to the last day of the promotion (July 19th). Due to the constraints of the promotion, we will not be able to provide mystery gifts for direct payments received after this date.
Collecting Your Mystery Gift
Your bonus item can be collected in-game by logging in and viewing the "Ahoy" panel on the pirate with which you would like to receive the gift.
Mystery Gift Distribution and Value
The selection of items is made entirely by chance (all purchasing players will receive a bonus item, but the distribution is arbitrary) and is not calculated based on the amount of the transaction or the frequency with which purchases are made; the probability of receiving a specific item is the same for your first or tenth purchase.
The distribution of probabilities for various mystery gifts will be as follows:
- 0.3% - Banana/Banana Parrot Familiar
- 0.5% - Tan Octopus Familiar
- 9.2% - Banana Eastern Seas Furniture Item*
- 10% - Banana Chroma
- 80% - Banana Clothing
Three Rings offers no substitutions for these items. These items are offered as a bonus to doubloon and subscription purchases and have no cash or redemption value with Three Rings and cannot be returned for a discount.
If you are unable to retrieve your mystery bonus gift, contact us through the Support Form. We should be able to validate your purchase and assist with any problems.
* Eastern Seas furniture items include the Sake Set, Tea Set, Hanging Fan, Eastern Scroll, Qing Chair, Yoke-back Chair, Lacquered Table and Katana Display.
