Difficulties:

The game's difficulty will increase fer pirates who have won a season.

SuperBombs:

SuperBombs are a great way to treat ye favorite pirate to a minigame based on "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes".

SuperBombs can be acquired in auctions, random events, or stolen from chests. SuperBombs are planted on the pirate ye wish wit' !Pirates Use <Chest ID> <pirate>

A SuperBomb will explode when its countdown timer runs out or when a module is defused incorrectly. The only way to defuse a bomb is to disarm all of its modules before its countdown timer expires.

Modules: Each bomb will include up to 5 modules that must be disarmed. If ye fail to disarm any module, the bomb will explode. Learn how to disarm the modules by starting at page 5 of the bomb manual.

SuperBombs are defused wit' the !Pirates SuperBomb Defuse

Once a bomb has been fully defused, one of the modules will be destroyed and reduce the bomb's quality. The bomb will then be stored in the chest of the pirate who defused it. Higher quality bombs result in higher rewards, but not higher penalties.

Bomb Quality	# of Modules
Common	1
Uncommon	2
Rare	3
Epic	4
Legendary	5

Bug Reportin':

So ye think ye found a bug, eh? Ye will be rewarded fer bugs that have not been previously reported, listed as a known issue, n' be reproducible!

Please be specific when reportin' bugs by pasting bot messages, why ye believe its a bug, what events may have triggered it, etc.

Ye can report errors, bugs, rats n' the such by messaging the bot on ye ship. See how in-game wit' !Pirates Bug

View a list o' recently reported, confirmed n' fixed bugs wit' !Pirates Bugs

The first message should be why you think it is a bug and the following messages should be bot messages of the issue.

Example:

1. !Pirates Bug Ship tasks were messaged, but not really there:
2. <@CaptchaJack> [P] Tasks need to be completed! P Ship Tasks
3. <mruno> !P Ship Tasks
4. -CaptchaJack- [P] No ship tasks at tis time!

Treasure Hunts:

Treasure hunts are a sort of scavenger hunt where you will receive a clue of where to sail. For example, if you received the following hint: "Tis be the key to the Floridas". The answer would be Florida Keys. To reach the next segment of the hunt, the ship will need to sail there. !Pirates Sail Florida Keys

Once you arrive at the presumed location, use the !Pirates Treasure Search command to find out if you are at the correct place. If you are, you may encounter a monster, gang, cannibals, skeletons, etc and must be defeated to progress. You may have to answer a riddle, or you may get lucky and just be given the next clue. For every leg completed, the crew will be rewarded doubloons!

The commands for Treasure Hunts are:

!Pirates Treasure - If only one treasure hunt, lists details for it. If more than one, lists the names of the sponsors. Use !Pirates Treasure <name of who sponsored> to lists details of the treasure hunt
!Pirates Treasure Help - Help for treasure hunts
!Pirates Treasure Launch - Lets the Captain sponsor a Treasure Hunt for other ships. If a ship is unable to complete the treasure hunt, the sponsor and sponsor's ship receive a reward
!Pirates Treasure Progress - Shows your own ships and other ships' progress
!Pirates Treasure Search - Use this to find out if you are at the correct location. This is also used to answer riddles: !Pirates Treasure Search <answer>

Treasure hunts consist of segments. The expiration for Treasure Hunts is based on the number of segments. Currently, the formula is: Segments * 2 hours = Expiration time

The first ship to complete the Treasure Hunt will be rewarded based on the number of segments. More segments = greater reward. If the clues to where the next location is too hard, they will be revealed every 1.5 hours, per segment.

Buried Treasure:

Ye can bury doubloons n' retrieve the treasure 2 days later for a bonus. After 3 days, the treasure will be unearthed n' can easily be found. After 4 days, the treasure will be lost. Ye can only bury treasure at ports wit' !Pirates Bury. Ye can privately bury treasure by messaging the bot !Pirates Bury

Ye can seek out buried treasure wit' !Pirates Seek. Ye be limited to seeking treasure only once per port n' will be given a list of sites where potential treasure be buried to choose from.

The number of buried treasures a pirate has can be viewed wit' !Pirates Info <pirate> n' ye can view if a port has any buried treasures wit' !Pirates Port Info <port>

Treasure Maps:

See the list of ye own maps n' ship maps wit' !Pirates Maps
You can find where treasure is hidden with !Pirates Search for player or ship treasure maps.

Player treasure maps reward players wit' doubloons n' may require ye to visit more then one port if ye not readin' the map correctly.

Ship treasure maps result in a reward o' rare weapons, vouchers, blackpowder, rum, doubloons, n' more fer the crew that is onboard.
They will either be at a cell/grid such as H3 (see the grid on the map) or at a port. Hints will be given fer the crew to determine where the treasure is located.
If the treasure has not been found after 3 days, the hint will then say what the location is. In addition, the treasure will be reduced.

Treasure Map Pieces:

Tired o' boring puzzles, riddles, n' visitin' ports in order to find treasure from a map? Well look no further, 8-bit quality maps are now available! Ye can get a piece randomly or thar be a chance when you keep a treasure map! !Pirates Use <id of treasure map> Keep

Graphical treasure maps come in 4 pieces, the upper left portion, upper right, lower left, and lower right. In order to find where the treasure is located, you must have all of the pieces or the piece marked with a red X.

Below is an example of a fully assembled map with each of the 4 pieces:

The upper left piece of the map MUST be found before you can retrieve the treasure as it contains the exact location of the treasure. To find what part of the game world the treasure map is showing, use the Atlas.

Pieces are stored in your chest so use !Pirates Chest Details <id> to get the URL of the piece in order to view it. A backup in case piratesirc.com is down is http://beastly.square7.ch/pirates/map/images/treasuremaps/<IMAGENAME.jpg>

Once ye think ye 'ave located where in the world the treasure is n' ye 'ave the piece wit' ❌ markin' the spot, 'ave the ship sail to the location n' search wit' !Pirates Search

Beware, pieces can be stolen from ye chest and the thief can end up finding the treasure before you. If they do, the treasure will respawn after a few days.

Pieces can be sold in the market or put up for auction. Once you already have a piece of a map, the next piece you will receive will belong to the same map. If you get all of the pieces of a map, the next piece will be to another map.

Rewards be: doubloons for the crew, more doubloons for you, a voucher, and a reward. Additional potential rewards be: a special weapon, (another) treasure map, rare cannonball, or an epic reward.
