Talk:Pirate Invasion

Does anyone have any good numbers on just HOW MANY pirates spawn?

Just got a Pirate Banner which is not listed here yet.

Umm... The cutlass drop rate CAN NOT be right. I have gotten around twenty cutlasses, and only two discount cards and no lucky coins or coin guns.
 * According to the page, cutlasses are 10x more common than discount cards, 20x more common than lucky coins, and 40x more common than coin guns. Only thing you've shown from your stats are that cutlasses are indeed 10x more likely to drop than discount cards. --173.66.29.113 23:06, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Derp, I read it as 1 in 2000 instead of 1 in 200.

It seems this is PC Only Content, but isn't listed as such... 24.131.174.8 10:59, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

There seems to be more golden item drops from the pirates since the latest patch. there is at least a golden grandfather clock.--81.178.135.179 17:29, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you actually seen the Golden Grandfather Clock drop or is that an assumption based on the images in the 1.2.3. content? AFAIK it is unobtainable. --37.24.7.253 05:28, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually I just saw added to the wiki, I had no idea it was actually unobtainable.--81.178.132.96 18:16, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

From what I've seen, I think they've changed the way where the invasion happens. Instead of them spawning in the center of the map, they now spawn where your NPC town is at. I've built a small town near the Ocean biome and when I summoned the invasion, they seem to invade the town rather than the center of the map. May need someone to test this out to be sure this is true. NyanTarts (talk)

Golden Sofa and Pirate Staff need added to the drop tables... idk the chance of either but I got a sofa and minions page says the staff is added.

Mechanical Worm?
Just got a mechanical worm from one of the pirates I believe, was fighting the invasion in a snow biome before any hardmode boss has been defeated (Purpose of farming for an Ice Biome Key mold), is this a bug? Or is it simply a rare occurrence? It just seems rather odd is all x3
 * Mechanical Worms have a chance of dropping from any enemy in Hardmode before the Destroyer has been defeated. It's a feature that was added in 1.2 to encourage people to fight the Hardmode bosses earlier. --KM100 (talk) 14:36, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

if you have NPC near your location / spawn, where the pirate will swarm to. have anyone tested it?
