Hullo Voski,
Clarify number 2 for me.....you are a basic member right now? You get reverted back to the original clothes you had the very first time you made a pirate...bummer, I know....but when you do get a time card, you'll find clothes on almost all enemies as loot drops now...
I am all over the place right now because the loot drops seem to be reset each day...I could be wrong...mainly I end up at Fragilles, for absolute peace and quiet, and Andaba or Andoso for crewing up/sailing or invasions...
PM me if you want to crew with me for sailing, or plundering...I usually have other basics in me crews...
