Portrait item

When commissioning a portrait, a pirate may choose to hold a portrait item. Specific items are available only if the pirate meets the criteria necessary for those items. (Some items exist that can be held only by Ringers at this time.) In any event, regardless of how many items the pirate has available to choose from, he may use only one such item at a time (i.e. only one item per portrait).

Although the items shown appear to be nearly identical for male and female pirates, there are some small differences in sizes and the way each sex holds items. The pictures on this page show only one or the other, but not both.

Note: It is not possible to hold an item in the free portrait available from the "Get yer portrait painted!" mission.

Bludgeons

A pirate can hold only the bludgeon that they have equipped at the time the portrait is painted. If a pirate has a hook injury, it will not appear if their bludgeon uses both hands. The bludgeon's colors will show up in the portrait. The pictures below list the colors used when taking the portrait shown.

One-handed bludgeons

Belaying pin blue/white

Blackjack red/white

Broken bottle white/red

Gaff red/red

Hammer white/aqua

Two-handed bludgeons

Brass knuckles blue/white	Cane white/blue†	Chain blue/white	Fish brown/red	Gauntlets blue/black
Leather gloves white/grey	Rope coils blue/white	Skeleton bone olive	Skull rings pink/aqua

† The bottom of this portrait item is cut off in single- and double-pirate backgrounds.

Eggs

Eggs are pieces of furniture that were first available during the Easter holiday season in 2006. Most are limited-edition furniture availble only during Easter -- some can be purchased at the palace shoppe, but others can only be won from automated tournaments. Brigand King eggs are available from trading posts. The Ringer eggs are available only from the Ringer they depict (or purchased from other players who have gotten them from Ringers).

The following portrait items are available if the pirate has the required item in his or her inventory.

The cloth portrait item requires the pirate have at least one bundle of cloth on hand. Furthermore, this portrait item is always red, regardless of the color of the actual furniture items in the pirate's inventory.

The hand wraps were awarded to pirates who participated in Fight Club, an event run in 2006, to commemorate the release of the Rumble puzzle. The color of the hand wraps corresponded to that of the pirate's team.

The pieces of eight portrait item requires the pirate to have at least 200,000 PoE on hand, after deducting the fee for the portrait.

Historical notes

• The tankard (for drinking experience) was originally the only mug representing drinking in portraits, regardless of what mug the pirate was equipping at the time, and had two red rings around it. Older portraits show it without the rings.
