Need a break from battling Jolly Roger's Invasions and Lord Beckett's EITC thugs? Then there's something you've got to try - fishing! With plenty of strange, exotic fish making their way to our shores, fishing businesses have sprung up all over the Caribbean. Now Pirates can enjoy reeling in these fascinating fish while earning gold and loot at the same time!
Getting started fishing is easy. Find Old Greg at the end of the docks on Port Royal to buy your first fishing rod and lures. Then make your way to any of the fishing spots on the docks of Port Royal, Tortuga and Padres del Fuego to start reeling in the fish! As with weapons, you have a Fishing notoriety that you advance in while catching fish. The more reputation points you accumulate while fishing, the further you'll progress in your Fishing notoriety. Before you know it, you'll find yourself launching your own Fishing Boat to catch a Legendary Fish!
These Legendary Fish are difficult to catch but are well worth the fight! Stop by Old Greg's and he'll share a tip or two on how to snare these elusive Legendary Fish.
So get your mates together and let the fishing frenzy begin!
A huge shipment of deadly Daggers has reached the Caribbean shores. These deadly weapons were looted from a Treasure Fleet carrying rare and valuable goods from the old world. These are not just any daggers. They used to belong to a secretive group of assassins called the 'Abu Nar Clan' in the Near East.
The Legendary Silver Freeze is one of these daggers and once belonged to Abu Nar's most skillful assassin. It's said the infamous dagger has the power to freeze its victims leaving the dagger's owner to carry out his mission without any interruptions. Rumor also has it that the dagger is controlled by a powerful gypsy curse but only those who wield this legendary dagger can testify to its powers.
These deadly Daggers were thought to have been lost - until now. Pirates have reported seeing enemies frozen in place during the night! Get yourselves to the Caribbean now and find one of these deadly Daggers by defeating some high-level enemies... if ye dare! Who knows, you might just lay your hands on the Legendary Silver Freeze!
