Items Of Value

   Items of value may be anything a pirate deems as valuable to any degree. These items may be traded or horded as a pirate desires and many items have multiple uses. The most common item of value is Pirate Gold. Pirate Gold is the standard form of currency in Pirates Buried Treasures and quite often, the most sought after as well.

   Other items of value include items categorized as "personal effects" . These items are usually worn or carried and provide the pirate with a number of benefits, especially during pirate challenges. See the Personal Effects page for more details.

   Trade Goods are items of value and may be used to barter for products and/or services. Trade Goods come in a variety of forms such as Wheat, Sugar, Coffee, Grog & Rum and may be bought and sold for profit or loss. The values of each trade good varies from location to location. See the Trade Goods page for more details.

Additional items of value may assist you in your treasure hunting adventures and may prove to be quite valuable during negotiations with other pirates, merchants or other "persons of interest". These items range from Trading Cards, Treasure Maps and Scrolls to Tavern Journals, Buried Treasure Bottles & Strong Boxes or Trunks. Information is limited on the benefits and values of these items and acquiring these items may be difficult at times.  

   Upon discovering items of value, whether in the real world or virtual world, it is recommended that the items be applied to your account as soon as you make port. Some items of value may be applied to your account by providing the serial number associated with the item while others must be sent to the Quarterdeck for deposit. Items of value within the virtual world (both online and 3D) come with serial numbers so you may make a deposit via email. Items of value discovered in the real world must be sent to the Quarterdeck for deposit.

*****Artifacts & Idols *****

   Artifacts & Idols are items found in both virtual and real world locations. These items vary in size and type as well as value. Each item contains an independent serial number and it's authenticity may be verified by e-mailing a request to The Captain or an associate. There is an unknown number of various Artifact & Idols in existence so you may want to acquire a Tavern Journal for more details.

*****Buried Treasure Bottles *****

Buried Treasure Bottles are small bottles which contain one or several items buried in sand. Each type of bottle contains a different type of "Buried Treasure" and several bottles of the same type may contain various similar treasures with different values. Buried Treasure Bottles may be discovered or purchased, but it is recommended that purchases be limited to Taverns or other "official" PBT locations. Purchasing a Buried Treasure Bottle from another pirate brings the risk of paying for a bottle of sand, with no buried treasure within.

*****Scrolls *****

Scrolls vary in size and type and usually provide valuable information to the owner. Some Scrolls, such as Riddle Scrolls, provide a unique riddle which may be solved for Pirate Gold. The riddles associated with these scrolls are usually very hard to solve and may take extensive thought and/or research to come up with the correct answer.

Other Scrolls may provide valuable information, a special quest or a message from The Captain.

*****Ship Logs *****

   Ship Logs are records of activity onboard a specific ship. Ship Logs may provide details on crew members, ship status, current or previous adventures or any other valuable pieces of information pertaining to the specific ship noted. The information alone usually brings the owner a significant price, but possession of a Ships Log usually provides rare and unique opportunities.

*****Tavern Journals*****

   Tavern Journals are valuable items which may provide a significant amount of information to those who may be in possession of one. Tavern Journals provide details of specific people, events or elements of Pirates Buried Treasures and usually answers a number of questions which may otherwise be left unanswered. Each Tavern Journal is specific and only provides details on one subject. A Tavern Journal may provide valuable information on a specific person such as a Tavern Owner or Barmaid or it may provide specific details on Trade Goods, Ships Logs, Artifacts, Idols or any other item of interest in the world of Pirates Buried Treasures. The acquisition of a Tavern Journal is rare indeed and should be exploited whenever the opportunity arises.

While most items of value may provide you with a unique benefit or opportunity, you may eventually find yourself in dire need of Pirate Gold. Items of value may be traded or sold to fill your chests, but you may want to check around for the best price. Prices do change with supply and demand so don't expect the same deal to be around very long. If you find yourself in possession of multiple items with the same benefit, you may want to barter your item for other goods or services. One example would be in the form of similar Tavern Journals. Tavern Journals are rare and usually come with a hefty price. If you find yourself with two similar Tavern Journals, advertise one for sale in a local tavern. The tavern owner may offer your item to other pirates for a slightly higher price than your requested amount, but this is merely business and tavern owners are always looking for a small profit.

*****Treasure Coins*****

   Captain Blue Eye's Treasure Coins are rare items of significant value. These special coins were designed by The Captain and forged in a secret location. Made of precious metals and crafted by a Master Blacksmith loyal to The Captain, these Treasure Coins are the most sought after prize known to man.
