Open Markets!

The ocean calls to all pirates. With a ship under yer pegleg, kegs full o' rum, and the potential for a hold full of booty, ye look to the horizon for the next grand adventure. We're celebratin' World Oceans Day with an Open Markets Event! Set sail for adventure, pillagin', and a bit o' monkey business!

  • Markets are paying up to 25% more for fruit.*
  • Gem thieves are less active, so large quantities of gems are more likely to make it through a voyage.
  • Merchant brigands are operating at an increased rate and shipping their goods to distant destinations. Their attraction to trading posts is increased.
  • Compelled by an abundance of fruit, encounters with the mischievous Monkey Boat are more common.
  • Brigand and barbarian ships are more attracted to islands with a Black Market and are carrying more booty.

The Open Markets event will be active until June 10th at 3:00 PM PST. The ocean calls, mateys!

*Market owners won't be offering this rate until after the 4AM reboot on June 5. They muttered somethin' about labor limits.
