UOAlive Day 72: Plundering Some Pirates

 

Today was the day! I was ready! Pirates beware! I did my normal daily plant tending and Holy Grail escorting, then promptly got my ship ready and sailed off to find some pirates.

The first structure I came across was a plunderbeacon. I should've passed this up, in hindsight, as there are no pirate captains to drop the fated shirt, but it was fun seeing if I could even solo this structure alone.

It took a good 20 minutes, but I managed it! I did have to use my rowboat to get close enough to attack all of the mobs, as there was no way I could get my ship close enough to cast spells without my ship also taking damage. That was annoying, but in the end I was able to get all of the crew killed and the beacon destroyed.

It took about five minutes of sailing before I came across an orcish pirate boat. I wasn't 100% sure this was who I was after, but I also just wanted to have fun blowing their ship up with cannons.

It took me a while. I don't deal much damage and the orc crew members have a lot of health. In the end I had to crash my boat into theirs to lock them in place and slowly whittle each of them down using provocation and magery. The orc captain had the shirt I wanted, so I decided to repair and be on my way.

The repair was expensive in resources, but I think the prize was worth it.

Before I could complete my transmog look, I needed a specific tailor BOD color cloth. I quickly threw a few of those together before I had what I needed.

This is my before...

And this is my after! Not 100% perfect, and I'll probably make adjustments along the line, but this is the best my character has looked so far on this server.

All of my adventures have had my pockets empty and my fame levels wanting, so I took some time to kill hiryus and replenish both.

When I got sick of that, I took some more time to mine some ore and granite. At some point I hope to set up a stone wares vendor, but who knows when or if that'll happen.
