| - Probably the most talked about aspect of the game is how and where to find the best loot. I’ve read guides that touch on several ideas for looting, and I think most of them have some valid information, but I haven’t seen my discovery mentioned by anyone yet. I have more than a few mastered pirates, so several months back when I was looking for something to do, I decided to loot for cheat cards so that I could get a full deck. I was missing a few of the lower level cards, so I went to loot from lower level bosses. I decided to bring along a low level pirate so that I could build up some gold and get a few decent loot items for him. I soon noticed a trend with the loot drops that I was getting. When the lower level pirate was there I was getting plenty of loot drops. But, when I tried to loot alone I wasn’t getting anything. This second, lower level pirate, soon had the nickname “Leprechaun”. He was most definitely a good luck charm for loot. We found loot clothing items, and a few famed weapons. Without him there the loot drops mysteriously vanished. I tried experimenting with my mastered pirate and my lucky leprechaun, to try to figure out why the loot changed when he was around. I eventually found the answer. It’s actually pretty simple. As a level 50, the lower level boss was a gray level for me, and very easy to kill. My lucky pirate was a low level, and the boss was a red level for him, and quite difficult to kill. I experimented with this for several days, and found that what I had discovered was potentially quite valuable knowledge.
