Revision 5

The Pirate's Note is a partially destroyed Blackbeard's Crew document, smeared with blood and ink. The remaining text confirms that the captain demanded letters that were found at a healer's location, and that Blackbeard will be pleased. It is a lore-only Miscellaneous item with no consumable use, kept for its place in the crew's story.

In-Game Text

The captain demanded the letters... [part of the text is stained with blood]...found them at the healer's and sent by ship with the rest of the booty... [big ink blot] Blackbeard will be pleased.

Where to Find

The note is a flavour pickup recovered from Blackbeard crew sites: chests, bodies, and lootable containers around their camps and outposts. Like other single-line lore documents it is not a guaranteed drop, so it appears occasionally while clearing those locations rather than from a fixed vendor or recipe.

Lore Context

The "letters" the note refers to are likely the same letters chronicled in the broader Blackbeard's Crew lore, including Michael Hardy's Letter and François Arnaud's Letter. The "healer" is unidentified but suggests a captured cleric or doctor whose correspondence Blackbeard wanted intercepted. The mention of shipping the letters off "with the rest of the booty" places this note in the same plundering operation that fills the crew's holds, and it sits alongside the wider trail of recovered correspondence and journals that document Blackbeard's reach across the archipelago.
