Pieces of eight are a virtual currency earned from the Trouble Brewing minigame used to buy rewards from Honest Jimmy's House of Stuff. During a game of Trouble Brewing, each resource deposited (i.e. buckets of water, bowls of coloured water, etc.) and opponent equipment burned (i.e. pipes, pump, etc.) will result in a piece of eight being awarded at the end of the game, up to 100 pieces of eight. Each bottle of rum deposited by the player's team gives 10 extra pieces to each player on the team at the end of the game. Pieces of eight awarded for bottling rum do not count towards the 100 pieces of eight limit for resources and sabotage, making it possible for players to earn more than 100 pieces of eight in a single game.
The amount received at the end of a game is not dependent on who is winning. The score is more for keeping track of how many rather than who has the most, but it may still be used as such.
In total, 39,590 pieces of eight are required to buy everything in the shop. It is not possible to sell items back to the store, so in order to fill out the collection log, at least this amount of pieces of eight are needed.

The amount of pieces of eight awarded per bottle of rum produced has been temporarily increased from 2 to 10 and was reverted shortly thereafter. The following day a hotfix was deployed increasing the amount back to 10. |

The original pieces of eight have been discontinued and converted into a variable stored on the player's account as a virtual currency, rather than a physical item. Any players with leftover pieces of eight have an option to "Count" pieces for conversion into the virtual currency. |
