Revision 5

The Smugglers' Anthem is a lore drop item that carries the words of a Smugglers song. The on-page text is short; the item exists primarily as a flavor pickup tied to smuggler culture rather than as anything you equip or play.

How to Obtain

Smugglers' Anthem drops from a smuggler-skeleton variant pickup, the same kind of fallen-smuggler body that yields the Note to Juanita. The two items pair with a single body, so finding one usually means the other is nearby. It cannot be crafted or bought, and it stacks up to 20. The skeletons are most common in or near Smugglers of Port Royal territory; a named example is the Skeleton of Juan de la Cosa.

Lore Notes

The Anthem and the Note to Juanita form a paired story left on one smuggler's remains: the Note is his personal message home, while the Anthem represents the culture and crew he sang with. Together they sketch out who the dead smuggler was without spelling it out in a quest log.

This collectible should not be confused with the music that actually plays in the game. Windrose's shipboard songs are a separate audio system: see Sea Shanties and Shanties for the tracks the NPC crew sings while sailing, with live vocals recorded by shantyman Sean Dagher. The Smugglers' Anthem item is a written lore pickup; it is not itself one of those playable shanty tracks, and the in-game text does not credit it to a specific recorded song.
