Anniversary Gifts
While we might have to wait to tune into these live streams to give us more information about this added content, Rare will be rolling out some goodies for players in the upcoming days. This includes:
- New merchant voyages

- For Pirate Legendary they will receive a Golden Legendary Tankard, a Golden Legend Hurdy-Gurdy, a Golden Legendary Blunderbuss and ship customizations

It is hard to believe that this game has already been out for a year and the Anniversary Update is going to be incredible. As a fan of the game, I commend Rare for keeping the game interesting by adding new features and challenges. While I am not yet a Pirate Legend, I appreciate that they keep this game on a level playing field for all players. This allows us to explore the open sea, collect booty, fight skeletons, and plunder and steal from other pirates.
Oh the pirate’s life is for me.
