@menphuess My 1st day with it, I ran into another pirate wearing it. We duked it out across the decks of both of our ships, not besting 1 another for at least 20 minutes. Eventually, though, his lamp faded, and mine was shining brightly.
So, yes, it's awesome - but surprisingly common. This is why I traditionally stick with the Admiral or Bilge Rat sets - they're far easier to get, but surprisingly less common upon the Sea.
It's kind of a reverse effect - the more desirable and harder it is to get, the more pirates want to show it off - so the more you see it. The reverse is true, of course.
The sailor set, I think is the exception - it's very common, in every respect, because both new pirates and veteran pirates use it. The former because they have little recourse, and the latter because they like to make fools of others.
IMO, the PL and Ghost outfits are the most visible outfits in the game next to the sailor outfit - both figuratively and literally. Which is precisely why you don't see me wearing them.
I also don't stoop to wearing black like cowardly tuckers do either - I still have some fashion sense.
I like to coordinate colors from different sets - it works so well in some cases in fact, that I question whether Rare may have accidentally mixed up certain set pieces with the wrong sets. 😅
Oh well - it's as much a modeling stage as it is a sandbox, is it not? Such beautiful set pieces... 🏝
