How & Why to find a Pirate Cave

How

Look in the lowlands by the beach and you're not likely to be disappointed. The portal drops from gelatinous cubes, goblin warriors, giant crabs, sand devils and forest nymphs.

Why

[Pirate Rum](/wiki/pirate-rum) is common drop from the Pirate Cave, dropping very frequently from [Dreadstump](/wiki/dreadstump-the-pirate-king) and less frequently from the [Pirate Admiral](/wiki/pirate-admiral), [Pirate Captain](/wiki/pirate-captain), [Pirate Commander](/wiki/pirate-commander), and [Pirate Lieutenant](/wiki/pirate-lieutenant). [Dreadstump](/wiki/dreadstump-the-pirate-king) has also has a low chance of dropping the [First Mate's Hook](/wiki/first-mate-s-hook), the accessory piece to the [Pirate King Warrior Set](/wiki/pirate-king-warrior-set).

Navigating through the dungeon

Pirate Caves contain several small rooms full of pirates, which are easy to kill. Clearing these rooms will grant low-level characters a chance to find gear and gain EXP before moving to the boss area, though you shouldn't need to run more than one Pirate Cave if trying to level. [Dreadstump](/wiki/dreadstump-the-pirate-king) can be found in the largest room, spawned with a handful of stronger minions.

Dreadstump the Pirate King

If your attack power or defense is low, it may be necessary to shoot his minions first to keep them out of the way. They are easy to kill and do not respawn, so your attention can then be focused on [Dreadstump](/wiki/dreadstump-the-pirate-king). Dodge his attacks and he should be finished quickly with a few well-placed blows. As the easiest dungeon boss in the realm, there's not much to worry about except maybe for standing on him. Just don't be an idiot, and you'll kill him.
