1. DO NOT ETHEREAL anywhere inside zone. You will die, and lose all on hand gold. doesn't matter if pirates started or not, doesn't matter where you do it in the zone. Its zone-wide procedure. So don't ethereal, this means you can't eject runs anymore.
2. New rules to zone: so if you are there in a line, race to the herald to get his key. If you run zone and some one is sitting outside you gotta let them run next. Same if some dork is running and you wait they have to let you go next.
This is how I run: get keys, I get 12 keys, I don't get the tower key because pirates never pop in the tower, its unecessary. So 12 keys, I go look telescope. Sanc, bless, armor whatever, wait for Captain to come. Kill captain, person who gets killing blows gets his head(norent noreload) Then I run around killing pirates. They all pop in same place everytime, so you can learn where they spawn and wander. The spots in map that are o's instead of O's are places the pirates will never load or wander to. There's 6 on 3rd floor, 12 on 2nd floor. the more doors you leave open and more unnecessary halls you unlock, the more places they have to wander. So don't leave crud open if you're still learning, keep areas clear by closing doors behind you. If you fail (time runs out) you do _not_ lose gold, you just get ported outside and lose the captain head. Once you are done, you give the pirate captain head to the baron (The X on the third floor map).
NOTE* annoying stupid other mobs still have baron and man as keywords, so check by typing look man or look baron to make sure you'll give it to the right guy. If you give to wrong guy and he won't leave the baron's anti-violence room, fireball yourself in there. It will splash and hurt mobs, so fireball self-flee-repeat till the little mob dies.
No pirates can see invis. So while invis you are safe, also invis'd weapons they cannot disarm. The zone is all inside except for the balcony and the 4 watchtower rooms. So check forecast while in the zone so you don't get tornado'd.

Notes:
-A hero tank and mage can safely and quickly do the zone. Slightly larger groups of xpers can also do it, but you don't need too many. A solo hero can do it with good eq and enough effort to get themselves a gold star. -Fly from Trellor so you have recall. The rest can phase once there's a person playing phase point south of the entrance. -If there's someone waiting one south of the zone when you finish, you have to let them run it next. It's the rules. -Do NOT ethereal anywhere in the zone, it kills you. Also don't idle, pretty sure that kills you too. -If you fail the zone/die, you lose all your gold, and you can't run it again for 24 hours. -Be careful on the balcony thing on the first level, it's out in the elements and tornados and firestorms can hit you. -You get 50-75 eq points each run. Sea scales sell for 15+ mil, can't remember how much exactly and it's probably changed.
Walkthrough:
Keys: The first one to engage/kill the herald and get his key gets to run the zone, if there's competition. Kill the herald first.
From entrance: All n to last intersection, w, open door, n, 2u, s, open doors, w, kill herald,get key cor. e, 2s, all w, kill sentry, get key cor 3e, 2s, all w, s, get key cab back to stairs, d, s to intersection, get key palm 2w, open door n, n, get key box s, 2e, s open door, e, get key clothes w, all s, 3w, open door, n, open hamper, get all hamper, get key, drop robe s, e, 2s, 2e, open door, n, get key drawer back to stairs, d, s, w, open door, s, get key fire n, 4e, open door, s, get key drawers n, 2w, 2s, unlock cabinet, open cab, get key cab s, all w, all s to door, open door, 2s, w, u, kill sentry, get key cor
Running:
-Get your form/other hero all north minus one from entrance. -Go back to the second floor, all s, 2w, 2s, e, s. -Double check your keys. "Count key" should show 12 keys, NOT COUNTING your clanhall key.Check clanwhere to make sure your form is all in the zone. -l telescope -Phase your form, spell up, wait til the mobs shout that their defenses have been breached, then go north and kill the pirate captain. Whoever gets the head (killing blow), give to formleader. -For each pirate: Plague, stab, kill, mass invis. Have someone in charge of plague and/or mass invis and they can make an alias. Pirates don't see invisible. -Kill the pirates, starting from the lowest level. There should be about 17-18 left after you finish the first level, and 5-6 after you finish the second level. -After you kill the last pirate, give the head to the baron (NW corner of the northwest room on the top level of the citadel). Leave to 1s of the zone entrance, unkey, and tally up your loot while you wait for it to repop.
