We had a little delivery in the darkness of the night, a bunch of these odd chests were dropped off on our doorstep. They appear to have some magical seal on them, so we have no clue what could be inside them, but they seem to be moving!

Update: We now know that there are little Water Dragons inside. Their true name is yet to be known, but Water Dragon is likely a safe bet!

If you know someone who likes surprises, this might be a great little gift for the holiday season! Each chest costs 5k, and will open sometime between December 25th and 26th. Chests will continue to be sold until the end of January 15th, and can be opened when PMed!

Update: Secret Santas are no longer being sold. This information will be moved to the Pirates Guild on January 20th.


To open a chest, just PM JohnnyBones with the needed info.

Needed Info

If you happen to have been given more than one, make sure to give Johnny the name of the one(s) the information is for.

Secret Santa's FAQ

Q: Can I buy one of these Secret Santas?
A: Sadly, you can't purchase Secret Santas anymore. Don't worry though, it's very likely some other odd thing will be dropped off at our doorstep in December!

Q: When will the chests open?
A: They can be opened right now, just PM JohnnyBones with the needed information!

Q: What if I don't own a Pirate, or the person I wish to give a Secret Santa to doesn't own one.
A: No worries, if you, or the recipient doesn't own a pirate, you can still buy them, and they can still receive them!

Q: What's inside the chests?
A: They appear to be a sort of Water Dragon, images of them can be found earlier in this post!

Q: Can I directly link to the image sent to me through PM?
A: Preferably not. It is preferred that you save the image to your own server after receiving it.

Q: If I buy one now, can it be opened once it's paid for?
A: Yes, it can be opened once it is PMed to the recipient!

Q: I have some other question, where should I ask it?
A: Just PM JohnnyBones or Darkness Angel Kogoro with your questions, they'll get back to you ASAP.

Possible Hints

We have decided to aquire the services of The Tome Keeper, or as many of you know her, Sarah, to find out what might be inside these chests. She believes she might be able to get some minor details about what's inside, though it will take her a day per detail since the sealing magic is quite powerful, even for her. Below will be a list of the details she has been able to get for you, though she makes no promises that her findings will be confirmed when the seal breaks on the chests.

Now that we know what is inside, the clues will be coloured to show if they were right or not.

December 16th Clue
A few scales were found on the floor of the storage room that the chests are kept in, this might not mean anything, but whatever is inside might have been able to release the scales.


December 17th Clue
It appears if you pour water anywhere near these chests, they start to shake furiously. Perhaps the creatures really like the water, or maybe they really dislike it...


December 18th Clue
Well, I moved a few chests around and found a few small piles of feathers! I'm not exactly sure, but maybe whatever inside has feathers, or likes to eat feathery creatures!


December 19th Clue
I used a spell recently, and noticed a strange aura within the air of the store room. The Aura didn't match the magic style of the seal, so I am assuming it has something to do with the creatures inside! I can't be sure, but the creatures may be magical in nature, thus why the seal was placed onto the chests!


December 20th Clue
Not much has really changed yet, so it's been a rather slow day. Well, until some odd ice crystals began to form around three of the chests! It seems that the creatures inside might have ice abilities, or are just extremely cold...


December 21st Clue
After sitting around one of these chests for around twelve hours, I noticed that the Gold trim on the chest was beginning to turn into Pyrite, also known as Fools Gold. I can't be fully certain, but maybe these creatures really like golden things, and tend to replace them with Pyrite...


December 22nd Clue
Something smells awful in the store room today... I think whatever was in these chests has been dead for a while... Yet, they seem to keep moving... Could there be some sort of Zombie in these chests?!
