Hail Us

Nay, that oath don't cover ink-presses. Ye pay fer the sweat even if the cursed machine stays broken.

Ink-press gears are rare as mermaid tears. When ye do find 'em, they usually cost more than a brand-new press.

Since new ink-presses are cheap plunder, ye should weigh the gold before payin' a shipwright to fix an old one.

Nay, the bounties listed are just fer the sweat and include the Crown's tax. New timber costs extra.

Our Drop-Everything service is fer when yer ship is sinkin' and ye need it back NOW. When ye pick this, yer broken gear gets shoved to the very front o' the shipwright's line.

While a normal patch takes 3-5 suns, a Drop-Everything patch is hammered out in an estimated 1-2 suns. That includes finding the rot, chopping it out, and testing the cannons.

What this means:

This does not include the time it takes for rare timber to arrive on a merchant ship. If we need to order parts, we'll shout the new timeline to ye, but yer gear stays at the front of the line.

We demand a Spyglass Fee to figure out what kraken ate yer gear. This covers the sweat of taking it apart. Ye can see the fees on the bounty board. But, if ye hire us to fix the rot, we toss the Spyglass Fee overboard!

Pirate Tales

Tale 1: Fix ordered, Spyglass Fee tossed

Scallywag: Ahoy, me lap-box is dead. Can ye find the curse?

Shipwright: Aye, but there be a Spyglass Fee. If ye pay us to fix it, we drop the fee.

(The shipwright finds the brain-board is cracked and names a price.)

Shipwright: Yer brain-board needs magic. Shall we proceed?

Scallywag: Aye, do it.

Shipwright: Grand! The Spyglass Fee is tossed overboard since yer paying for the fix.

Tale 2: Fix denied, Spyglass Fee collected

Scallywag: Me lap-box keeps freezing like ice. Look at it!

Shipwright: Aye, there be a Spyglass Fee. We'll drop it if ye buy the fix.

(The shipwright finds the memory-stone is dead and names a price to swap it.)

Shipwright: Yer memory-stone is dust. Want me to swap it?

Scallywag: Nay, keep yer hands off it.

Shipwright: As ye wish. Hand over the Spyglass Fee for me time, then.

Aye, we love a good parlay! Shout at us on the Hail Us page, pick the parlay option, and tell us what yer hunting. Merchant guilds can pick the fleet option. We don't parlay through shouting horns (phones).

Toss the ship-building charter into yer chest before paying the toll. Once ye pay, we check if the planks fit together and holler if they don't. We start hammering when all the wood is in the dock. Want to spy on it? Check the ship-building page.

Aye! When ye buy shiny new iron from ITGOIT, ye can hand the old rusty junk of the same kind to the PostNL courier for free. Learn the rules on our junk-trade scroll.

Before ye pay, change yer port in yer Sea Chest. If the ship hasn't sailed yet, fire a flare via the Hail Us page with 'Wrong Port' and yer claim tag. We'll shout back if we fix it in time.

Our second-chance loot is graded A, B, or C. A and B get the same shipwright's oath as new iron. C gets a shorter oath. Tossin' 'em back works the same. Read the second-chance scroll for the full tale.

To scuttle it, shout on the Hail Us page with 'Scuttle Haul' and yer tag. To change it, use 'Change Haul' and tell us what to swap. We'll shout when it's done. Ye might owe more coin or get a refund, see the bounty board.

We sink hauls if ye don't hand over the coin in 48 sands, if the bounty was priced wrong by a drunk scribe, or if the loot is gone. We'll send a pigeon to tell ye why.

Read the festival scroll for open bounties. Dead festivals can't be joined, but ye can claim the gold if ye bought the loot in time. Magic codes get sent after the return window closes.

Merchant guilds can beg for an IOU after we check their vaults. If we say nay, we'll tell ye, and it might delay the ship a sun. Use the Hail Us page to beg.

We take iDeal, Magic Plastic (Credit Card), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bancontact, and Bank Chest transfers. No IOUs for solo sailors, and no paying the courier. If ye pick it up at the dock, ye can use Magic Plastic.

Scrawl yer treasure code as a note when paying the toll. Our quartermaster will dig it up manually, which might take a sun to show on yer receipt.

If the gold won't pour, use the Hail Us page with 'New Coin Link' to beg for another try or a different way to pay. We'll throw ye a new rope.

If the bounty hunters come knocking and yer broke, reply to their pigeon via the Hail Us page to parlay. We'll try to find a way that doesn't involve the plank.

Aye, a tax parchment is automatically stuffed in yer Sea Chest and sent via pigeon one sun after we get yer gold.

Nay, the bounties on the board exclude new wood and include the Crown's tax.

The toll depends on how far yer port is, check the bounty board. Pickin' it up at ITGOIT's dock is always free.

Use yer spyglass in yer Sea Chest. Loot we don't have takes longer as we hunt for it. Once the ship sails, ye get a tracking spell. If it's lost in a storm, shout at us on the Hail Us page.

Depends on the wind. Loot we hold that ye buy before 11 PM on weekdays or 10 PM on Sun's Day usually hits yer port the next sun. Bank chests take an extra sun. Read the sailin' scroll for details.

We usually load it all on one ship, but ye can beg to split it on the Hail Us page. It'll cost ye extra coin, check the bounty board.

Aye, row to our dock during watch bells. Bring yer claim tag and pirate mark (ID). Loot we hold is usually ready the same sun after we confirm.

Ye can't pick the exact bell when paying, but ye can beg for a certain sun on the Hail Us page. Ye gotta sign the parchment unless it fits in yer port-hole.

Aye, just pick 'PostNL Tavern' when paying the toll.

If the ship hasn't left, shout on the Hail Us page with 'Wrong Port' and yer tag. Yell loud and fast so we can steer the ship.

Scream about the smashed loot within 48 sands via the Hail Us page with 'Kraken Damage'. Send paintings of the crate, the packing, the seal, and the broken iron. We'll tell ye what to do next.

Beg for a return in yer Sea Chest to swap it for the right iron. Our quartermasters will fix the blunder, use the Hail Us page for a hand.

The courier might leave it with the tavern next door or take it to a PostNL shack. Change the wind with the courier before they arrive if ye know yer gonna be gone.

Fer all on-deck jobs, a standard Docking Fee is demanded to cover the rum and time it took to row to ye, even if we can't kill the kraken. It keeps our ship afloat. Here's the code:

Keep in mind the Docking Fee is separate from any extra coin demanded if ye live past the edge of the map.

We charge extra coin when yer port is further than a normal cannon shot from our dock. It costs coin per league traveled. Check the bounty board for the exact math.

Solo sailors can toss loot back within 14 suns, no questions asked, via the Toss It Back page. Guilds might face taxes or be told nay. Cursed (broken) loot is covered by the Oath, read the return scroll.

Ye pay the courier unless we sent the wrong shiny bit or it broke under the Oath, then we might toss ye some coin back. Read the return scroll.

Start a plea on our website. Ye get a pigeon back with a cursed number and a map. Ye can also just drop it at our dock. Pigeons will tell ye the progress.

Stuff it in a sturdy crate, ideally the one it came in. Don't slap sticky notes on the actual treasure box. Pay the courier yerself; we refuse chests that demand coin on arrival. It's yer problem till it hits our dock, so guard it. Send all the bits it came with, or we'll tax ye.

Solo sailors get 14 suns from the day it hits the dock. Guilds gotta beg and might pay a tax, check the bounty board. Cursed loot can be tossed back anytime before the Oath expires.

We try to open the returned chest in 5 suns. Gold gets poured back in 1-5 more suns after we say aye, depending on yer bank.

Within 14 suns, beg for a swap on the return page. It's usually faster to demand yer gold back and just buy the bigger cutlass yerself.

In yer Chest, click 'New Toss Request' and pick 'Toss Without a Map'. Scrawl the details, and we'll send a pigeon with a cursed number.

Within 30 suns, start the toss on yer Bol or Amazon map. They'll hand ye a magic seal to ship it back to us.

Things ye put in yer mouth or ears, dirty rags, unsealed magic scrolls, half-empty chests, treasure maps (gift cards), or loot smashed by yer own clumsy hands. Read the return scroll fer the whole list.
