Captain Cromwell haunts areas of Port Royal trying to make good in death what he did wrong in life. To release his spirit from the bonds of earth he must repay gold he stole that was intended to free an innocent man. Read more about Captain Cromwell and John Moses.
Cromwell must repay the gold he stole to free his spirit from the bonds of earth.
Captain Cromwell now roams the earth looking for 'good, worthy Pirates'. If you are one, tell Cromwell when you see him, mention the name of John Moses, or tell him 'I've come for Innocent John.' Cromwell will then give you a secret code that can be redeemed
for gold.
-
To redeem your gold code follow these steps: Open a chat window in game by pressing [ENTER].
-
In the chat window type /CODE followed by a space, then type the 21 character code you were given by Cromwell.
-
Press [ENTER] to redeem the code. You'll get an in-game pop-up message confirming the code worked and telling you how much gold you got.
Example: /CODE TBTWYZLLARRNVLPCKFE22
Please note: When you're given a code, we suggest taking a screenshot (F9) of the code for future reference. Since some characters look similar (for example 5 and S) they may be copied incorrectly if you write the code down. If you write your code down, double-check it to make sure you've written down the code correctly. Codes are for one-time use. Once a code is used it cannot be used again. Codes are not case sensitive.
Cromwell will be haunting the Caribbean until he repays all the gold he took and considering the amount of gold he stole, that could take a while. He's always in the Caribbean, so night or day he may make an appearance.
Cromwell needs to give the gold to someone - why shouldn't it be us Pirates? Prove to Cromwell you are 'worthy' of it, be polite and respectful (don't attack the ghost - that will probably scare him off) and tell him to make right his wrong...
Aye Francisco how right you are - the Caribbean continues to change. Pirates Online keeps getting better and better everyday - just wait until you see what new adventures and challenges are ahead on the horizon. Thanks for playing!
Actually Richard, all Pirates, Basic or Unlimited can see ghosts and in Cromwell's case, will also be able to get some of his gold. Once you've found Cromwell, all you have to do is approach the Captain and follow the instructions above for getting him to recognize you. Good luck!
Jack Shipsteel! A Pirate with a conscience - and a heart! We like that! Not just taking gold from any old Pirate, eh? While we stand with you Jack, you should consider the outcome of any action you take, we think it's ok in this case to take the gold if you spot Cromwell. The old Captain is regretful and wants to make right what he did wrong.
Luke, Captain Cromwell is the only ghost with a debt to repay and the only ghost giving away gold. As far as the other ghost giving "rewards," Constance has been warning Pirates of invasions - more specifically telling them exactly when Jolly Roger will invade so Pirates can prepare their guilds. Old Sooty will actually show up during an invasion and help Pirates fight off Jolly Roger's Undead Army. Good luck on your ghost hunting!
Captain Cromwell haunts an area near the graveyard in Governor's Garden on Port Royal, where Cromwell is actually buried. We have also heard reports that he can be seen around the mansion grounds.
Cromwell and Constance are known to haunt specific areas while a more mischievous Pirate like Old Sooty roams the town of Port Royal warning Pirates and "spooking" unsuspecting mates. Speaking of being "spooked," sometimes ghosts will be scared off by unruly pirates, so if you encounter a group of fellow Pirates in the area a ghost haunts, ask them if they have made contact and when - they may have just scared a ghost off, in which case you might have just missed them. Since they're "ghosts" they don't have a set schedule - it's only when the mood is right will ghosts appear.
