Fox Box Promotion

During the Fox Box Promotion, players will receive a "mystery box" gift with purchases of $9.99 or more made between 10:00 AM PDT April 22nd, 2014 and 3:00 PM PDT April 30th, 2014. This promotion is open to players using whichever payment method they prefer (including credit card, Paypal, and PayByCash, and checks and money orders). 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 Fox 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...

  • Fox Pets
  • Emerald Chromas
  • Sea Green Prize Purses
  • Sea Green Furniture
  • Sea Green Trinkets

About Fox Pets

Fox are a new type of pet available in a variety of color combinations. Fox pets won from the Fox Box will have persimmon as their primary fur color.

About Emerald and Sea Green

Emerald and Sea Green are special colors that will not be available for general sale from in-game shoppes. They are available in this promotion as the color of chorma, furniture and trinket prizes.

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.

About Prize Purses

A "Prize Purse" gift is a one-time use Miscellaneous, in-game item that will grant your pirate Pieces of Eight when opened (similar to a Piggy bank). Most Prise Purses will contain between 400 and 4000 Pieces of Eight each, with a small chance of a payout of 100,000 Pieces of Eight. Prize Purses can be displayed in portraits.
