Special items

This is an overview of interesting special items, especially outfittings, that can be gotten in special contexts around the Caribbean, i.e. as mission rewards, turn-ins etc.

Essential PVP Items are listed separately.

Figurehead: Pig
The Figurehead: Pig is a level 26 general ship outfitting of the "Bow" category: Close-Hauled and Upwind Battle Speed +7%; Beam Reach and Luffing Battle Speed +6%.

To get the Pig you have to complete a chain of five level 31 missions from the Admiralty Office in Havana, starting with the mission We Aren't the World. The last two missions of the chain are solo missions. In the fourth mission, Pig Tracks, you have to take care, because the final mission The Thing Beneath the Fort is accepted and accessed from within "Pig Tracks", so you shouldn't click out of this mission, even if it shows that all objectives are completed.

The mission chain belongs to the Seven Deadly Sins group of missions. Seven mission chains of five missions each in various Antilles ports all have different Figureheads as (part of) their rewards. The Deadly Sins mission chains at La Isabela, Puerta de Plata and Gibara each give you 5 Magistrate's Commendations for Excellence in addition to that.

Juggernaut Broadside Armor
Juggernaut Broadside Armor is a general ship outfitting of the "External" category: Armor Integrity +5%; Broadside DR +4; Maximum Battle Speed -1%.

You can get it as a turn-in from the daily mission Baptism By Fire for 25 Defender's Accolades.

Large Golden Cross
The Large Golden Cross is a level 35 general ship outfitting with no category: Maximum Battle Speed +2%; accuracy, damage, turn rate, reload and acceleration +2% or 3% each. Due to its (missing) category it can be combined with general outfittings of the "Ship Speed" and the "Rigging" category.

San Marcos has a long mission chain that consists of numerous missions from Abasi Demers, Jelani Agyei and Shoorai Edeline. The Large Golden Cross is a mission reward for a swashbuckling mission quite early in that chain where your job is to recover religious artefacts.

Tax-man's Rigging
Tax-man's Rigging is a level 37 general ship outfitting of the "Rigging" category: Maximum Battle Speed +4%; Grappling Offense +7. Due to its category it can be combined with general outfittings of the "Ship Speed" category.

To get Tax-man's Rigging you must have at least +500 reputation with the Brethren of the Coast. An easy way to increase your reputation with them is sinking national fleets, but no Brethren fleets, for some time. To start the short mission chain you need to talk to the Town Boss in Tortuga (Fort Vasseur district) who will give you the level 35 ship combat mission Respect. This is followed up by the level 37 ship combat mission Death and Taxes, already the end of the chain.

Vigilant Spotters
Vigilant Spotters are a general ship outfitting: Maximum Open Sea Speed +9%; Open Sea Spotting +200; Accuracy +3.

You can get them as a turn-in from the Island Harbour daily mission for 3 Defender's Accolades, or as a choice mission reward from the daily's prequel mission Turnabout Is Fair Play.
