Keel Hauliday 2019

Ahoy, scallywags. We'd say forgive us fer us bein' a bit late but a pirate don't apologise so wha' can we say 'cept yer welcome we're 'ere. Brunhilde had a bonny first sail, only nigh-on ran th' ship into th' rocks twice over. She be one heck o' a sprog, that poppet! We did 'ave a wee papa-daughter trip t' th' rift, but as mighty as she be, the wee lass couldnae help but enjoy th' rift mermaids. That's prolly me fault bringin' 'er back all those mermaid plushies o'er th' years. We all got a wee softness in us somewhere! Apart from Dirty Matty. He be a real rat.

Anyhaps, th' crew are back fer our yearly trade, this time we're anchorin' 'til th' end o' th' month, so nigh 11 days! We 'ave a fresh bounty plundered from far 'n nigh ready t' tempt ye. Carl be prolly still lazin' around 'n piratin' from us pirates, jus' don't give 'im any caffeine, if he's goin' t' hand out our booty in his quests we'd at least prefer he did it slow, like.

Translation: Afternoon, friends! we'd really like to apologize for us being a day late with our little floating establishment, we do appreciate your patience! My daughter, Brunhilde, had an excellent first time out on the ship, I'm so proud of her! She's really something. We even went on a little father-daughter excursion to Atebus to visit the rift we'd heard so much about, and dear Brunhilde particularly enjoyed the rift mermaids! She always loved the mermaid plushies I brought her growing up. I suppose even the most daring of pirates have a soft spot!

Anyway, the crew are back for our yearly trade, this time we're anchoring until the end of the month, so nearer 11 days! We have a delightful new selection of goods collected completely legally from all over the world and ready for your perusal! Carl is again being helpful and giving out our items in his quests, we just ask that you refrain from giving him any caffeine as we're concerned for the poor man's health. We do like it when he gets his rest.

I looove this holiday. i don’t get people who say this shop is never stocked. yes the items go fast, that’s the fun of it! it restocks every 5-15 minutes it seems. every so often i will sit and constantly refresh, i’ve already gotten quite a few items.

My dislike for this holiday knows no bounds...sitting there just waiting for the new items to appear only for them to vanish in 0.5 seconds is mind-numbing

I don't want our one restocking holiday to be taken away, tbh. It's the only holiday I REALLY look forward to participating in because it's different from just clicking floaties and posting "claimed" on the dance/flower boards. I see why it's frustrating; however, the fact that you have the chance to get items from Carl is more than fair. Not to mention, most things come down significantly in price within a couple days.

Going to try my best to RS, but I've never seen an item in this shop lol. I hope I get some cool stuff from Carl.

I've also wondered that, but I assume they don't do it because it'd be too easy for people to grab things instead of relying on luck, probably even more so in the Freyalise because we're all trying to grab the recent and rare items. There would be more competition between the people who have the same boxes highlighted (as wishlist items) and the item would disappear faster as the time it takes to hunt and click is eliminated. It sure would be nice though if it were a feature. :')

I don't begrudge anyone with the time or speedy internet connection to sit and click and restock from the pirate shop. I do, however, object to 30+ minutes between restocks. At least have the shop restock more items, more frequently, especially since the shop is only open for 11 days.

I vended 700 tokens at Ocean Depths and got 3 pirate items, only one of them new. Odds aren't great for non-restockers.

"Restocked Now! There are no items stocked" I have yet to see anything in this stupid shop. Good luck to the rest of you.

It's tough, but I've managed to catch a few restocks. There's barely any time to search and choose items. You have to click click click! I've seen it go up to 13 minutes until a new restock. I'm guessing it usually restocks again after 5-10 minutes of stocking.

I do agree with your main point. Most items do end up quite affordable, and we have 11 days this time so things will get cheaper still.

Sometimes even slow arthritic me can catch something, so I still sometimes try.

thank you! I will plan my intended purchases on my increased odds.

Good point.

However the primary point of my comment is that calling people names because they don't like not being able to get things that other people are able to get much more easily is kind of a dick move. And that still stands!

I can confirm it's possible to get both a retired + currently stocking item from Carl.

That said, I also am pretty sure I got double retired prizes from other quest givers a couple times today so I don't know if that's just a normal chance or if it has to do with the two celebrations running at the same time

do we get a double dip at that same pool one for each holiday, or is Drunk Carl too Drunk?

Thank you!

It says "Restocked now!" until it changes to "Restocked 1 minute ago." I also don't know WHEN exactly it changes, but I clicked my first item before it even changed to "Restock now" lol

something is only a sP-sink if it removes the sP from the site. Keelhauliday doesn't do that by much and to the degree it does nobody is complaining. What Keelhauliday does is sP-redistribution from the slow users with slow connections to the fast users with a fast connection. That sP that is transferred from one player to another, this still exists, While anyone might complain about not having it themselves anymore (and they do!), that sP isn't sunk.

Nope, it just sells out THAT fast. Also helpful to know if you didn't is that the "Restocked now!" message stays up for a full minute. I can confirm it's definitely stocking though because I just snagged a couple things

You were just a little too slow is all. You have to catch the shop as soon as it restocks. Within ten, maybe fifteen seconds? All gone.
