We're Moving! To Weebly!

That's right! We're moving to weebly.com! There are many reasons for us to move to Weebly's free hosting. But, most of the reason is because of the unlimited pages. POTCOtreasure.blogspot.com offers great blogging features but lacks in pages, and there is no upgrading features. We will make this switch and POTCO Treasure will be deleted and moved to our new site Potcoloot.weebly.com! You can check out the progress here.

May's Boss of the Month!

Edwardlohand
May's Boss of the Month is none other than Edward Lowand! Edward Lohand is a deadly Assassin Boss much like Remington the Vicious and Neban the Silent, working in the shadows for the EITC. Not much is know about him since he is rarely seen. He has been spotted in Beckett's Quarry and the Catacombs. He has also been known to guard the jail at the top of Kingshead, and on EITC flagships.

He has appeared at Levels 28-35, so a pirate may need to bring mates or a crew to take him down. He is the most powerful randomly appearing boss. Although, he does not have double health like Remington or Neban, he can sure deal a lot of  damage.

Lowhand's Early Life

Lowhand worked as English Merchant for his father when he was a young child. He learned basics in nautical navigation. He soon applied for the English Navy and rose through the ranks. 

Lord Cutler Beckett soon scooped him up and trained him to become his right hand man. He is the single most powerful member of the EITC Black Guard next to Lord Beckett himself. 

He sometimes appears to check up on the progress of his men. He might not be experienced in  hand to hand combat, however this Assassin can outwit even the most expert fencer.

Rising Red causing Pandemonium around Pirates Online

Yet another legendary give-away from the POTCO team! Many pirates are sinking ships non-stop, so they can claim that they have all the legendary weapons. Just 50 Norrington's Spyglasses will be released for access. That's right you cannot find this legendary in any loot skull chests and loot chests! Making Norrington's Spyglass the most fought after legendary ever! However, this pandemonium has not all been positive. Many players are threatening to quit POTCO because of the legendary spyglass that cannot be found through loot. Many people have said "Pirates is ruining itself." However, I feel that it really doesn't matter. I can just say "I have all the lootable legendary weapons." Really this should be in a class in all it's own, like a "Reward Spyglass" or a "Collectable Spyglass" or something along those lines. However I don't think this is anything to quit the game over. Pirates was just trying to do something positive for a change!
spyglassSo, I must wish everyone participating in the "Rising Red" competition a good luck! And be thankful that something is being added to motivate board players! How can we "Revive POTCO" if all we do is "yell" at the POTCO staff?!?!?!

April's Boss of the Month!

NebanthesilentApril's Boss of the Month is none other than Neban the Silent! Neban the Silent is one of the deadliest members of the EITC's Black Guard in the entire Caribbean, on par with Remington the Vicious. He appears at Level 28-35, and seems to be working as a taskmaster in the dangerous Beckett's Quarry on Padres Del Fuego, also usually backed up by other EITC and Royal Navy troops. He can be found in a lava cave near a group of Mercenaries, not far from the entrance to El Sudoron.
Neban MapNeban works as an assassin for Lord Cutler Beckett and is very hard to defeat alone. He attacks pirates with his daggers and throws with great skill. He has a very high amount of health points and can use all dagger skills, including Viper's Nest.
Notes
  • Neban will always respawn in the same location in Beckett's Quarry.
  • Neban's health ranges from 25,500(level 28) to 32,500(level 35).

Neban the Silent Currently doesn't have a backstory! We need your help! Create one and email it to us at potcotreasurehunters@gmail.com!

Happy Day for Lazy Looters...


Many pirates were thrilled this morning to find that Pirates Online were giving away a free legendary weapon called the "Heart of Padres del Fuego." This sword was apparently a promotional item to keep up the morale   of the player base. This would normally make me happy, but I felt no accomplishment in typing the "bloodfire" code into the redeem code window and getting a legendary sword. (It would've been even cooler if they increased the chance of this weapon to drop in enemies in Lava Gorge.) With the simple code spreading around Pirates Online like wildfire, I felt that this "rare" sword isn't rare! But, what isn't rare now might be rare in six months to a year! But, at least this sword is better than my old sword...

Server List Smaller!

POTCO crew reduced the size of the server list in order to "not only to optimize overall playability, but also to bring Pirates together in a closer community." Therefore, servers will be jammed packed with people. We can't get a good feel for the POTCO server line up will benefit looters, since it came out today, but we can say that it was what I wanted. Some servers had no players at all! Hopefully this will maximize looting too. With a smaller looting list will there mean less chance of getting famed, legendary, or rare items? We just don't know yet. More people looting at General Darkheart is apparently a good thing, so maybe this will boost legendary weapons! We'll post more about this soon!!! Happy sailing on the new server line up!

Boss of the Month (March!)

Jacques le Blanc
Our March boss of the Month is non-other than Jacques le Blanc! He is a boss that can be found on Isla Cangrejos. He is a French Undead Capitaine Boss. 

His Story

James' (Jacques) sly nature caught up with him quickly. The riches he stole from his family prior to joining the British Navy vanished before he reached the docks. They were lost to a pair of swindlers who promised the lad a valued post on the HMS Endeavor.
Instead James decided to start his military career on a vessel bound for a trip around the world, mastering every bludgeoning, blasting and slashing device known to the seafaring man. Upon reaching the Caribbean, James was an experienced Master-at-Arms on a British Frigate.
After sailing the world, James had his belly full of the military life and its half decent pay.
Jacques de blancJames heard that a Spanish Captain was recruiting for an able seaman anxious to scuttle a Brittish ship for profit. Now that was music to James' ears and he was definitely in!
On the arranged day, the Navy was tipped off and suddenly James found himself in chains. Worse yet, he learned the whistleblower was none other than his twin brother - Thomas White!
Crafty as ever and fueled by revenge, James escaped the gallows along with a couple of French soldiers loyal to Pierre le Porc. The notorious Pierre heard of James' shady dealings and courageous escape and was eager to use a man of his skills.
One night, Pierre le Porc had great plans to train James as an assassin and laid out on a table pictures of his upcoming rivals. This is how James White found out that his brother Thomas, now known as Tomas Blanco, was a Privateer for Garcia de Avaricia.
At that moment, the infamous Jacques le Blanc was born ... and the Caribbean would never be the same!
Strangely, Jacques often feels that someone has the evil eye on him during battles. As the sands of time pass, Jacques is unaware how long the hate for his brother has possessed him.
Rumors on the docks suggest a now undead Jacques may be unknowingly sailing for a commander far greater and more sinister than Pierre le Porc...

Learn more about his looting patterns on the side bar!

General Improvements (3.19.13)

Hello Mates! We did some improvements on our site! We hope you like them. We've increased efficiency for those who like speedy looting results. Although we give advice, we can't catch your rare, famed, and legendary items for you. We've added a side bar that allows you to browse for commonly hunted weapon. Such as the World Eater Blade or the Lost Sword of El Patron. We've also added pages about commonly fought bosses. Such as Foulberto Smasho, General Darkhart, and more. We've also added bosses that you might not have considered to drop rare or valuable items. This all can be found on the side bar to the right of your screen! Hope this makes your looting experience easier and more enjoyable!

Join the Hunters Raid Tormenta!

Join Redbeard and Thomas Pondmorgan on their journey to find all the legendary weapons! On Saturday (March 23) and Sunday (March 24) come to Isla Tormenta in the server Legassa and raid the evil crew of Davy Jones! Hopefully we will get something good...

O'Malley & Sooty Drop 'Golden Knuckles'

Redbeard-- GM Shamus O'Malley dropped, not brass knuckles, but golden knuckles! Selling for 150 gold, the St Patty's day weekend was a hit with attendees! Those who wore green and spotted the GMs got the rare prize! Honestly, I would've wished it was something nicer, but beggars can't be choosers! See you on the High Seas, Mates!
