Ahoy, penguins! What is that EPIC pirate song echoing? Seems like it’s migrating straight from the CPJ youtube channel! Did I say migrating? I meant, VOYAGING…
You guessed it! It’s the sound of a familiar ship docked on the island, and there be only one pirate bold enough to be steering yer way…
The infamous Captain Crimson has returned! You can all make his acquaintance and trade with him at The Dark Cave, a mysterious area in the Cove. Having a sleek, sneaky ship like the Voyager, a red gem on his eye patch and a gold hook for a left flipper makes him a visitor impossible to miss.
A Gem fer a Rare One, Arrrr!
Speaking of trade… Word around the Cove is that the Captain has been sailing through some rather peculiar waters since we last saw him. Exactly where his adventures have taken him remains a mystery, but one thing is certain: Captain Crimson did not arrive empty-flippered. Sailors claim he is carrying a particularly interesting collection aboard; from the most curious finds and rare items to never-before-seen treasures.
Grab Yer Treasures!
Your favorite Captain has brought some special treasures just for you! Some wares be Crimson exclusives, so if you have your eye on one, you’d best seize the opportunity while you can. These treasures be rare, and once they’re gone, there’s no telling when you might see them again. Some of the other items may return in the future, though many haven’t been seen in years. If you’re willing to wait, you can might save your gems for another day… but if you want these treasures right now, take the plunge and risk it all!
Ye need not worry if you’ve only just joined our island or lacked time to complete quests, as the Captain will generously grant everyone 250 gems for free! From future visits onward, they’ll only be granted to newcomers.
He’ll be setting sail in just ONE WEEK, on the 21st of September, so be sure to stock up while you can! After that, you can keep collecting gems until his next visit… or keep waiting to see if the Captain brings even more exclusive treasures next time. The choice be yers, savvy? Fair winds!
Until the tides have us meet again… Waddle On!
