Rampager's Privateer Coat

Rampager's Privateer Coat wears the sea like a second skin: salt-streaked leather, weathered brass buckles, and a collar that flicks up against the wind. Its deep navy hide bears scratches from long chases along spray-washed rigging, while a row of dented rivets traces a line from shoulder to hem, like a map of every raid and retreat. The coat is lined with cracked linen that smells faintly of tar and gunpowder, and the cuffs bear scorch marks hinting at midnight ambushes where lantern light bounced off the gunwale. A privateer crest—a tangle of crossed cutlasses and a reef knot—stitches itself into the fabric, not as a boast but as a testimony to voyages survived. It’s more than clothing; it’s a weathered diary you can wear, one that clanks faintly with the memory of chains and distant gunfire when you move. In battle, Rampager's Privateer Coat is a statement piece for a skirmisher who blends mobility with brutal hits. The cut allows for swift dashes and lunges, while the leather cushions the sting of dockyard scrapes. It pairs naturally with other Rampager gear to boost Power, Precision, and Ferocity, turning quick strikes into a chorus that ends more battles than it begins. In the world’s stories, captains pass it down to those they deem ready to stare down a storm and a sloop at once. The coat holds secrets—pockets with a spare brass button, a sachet of salt, a brittle receipt for a stolen rum cask—that hint at a protagonist who never leaves a trail that’s clean. Some believe the threadwork bears a map to a long-forgotten cache, others insist it marks allegiance to a privateer code that survives even after the ships have vanished. Where merchants mingle with mariners, you’ll hear the soft clack of coins and the hush of shadows at Saddlebag Exchange, a stall-lined avenue where old gear finds a second life. A Rampager's Privateer Coat can fetch a tidy sum—or be bartered for a night’s rations and a tale told by lantern light. The price isn’t fixed; it shifts with the tide: high stat rolls draw premium, rare insignia lift the bid, and a known courier’s favor can tilt the balance. Conversely, a frayed cuff or a stale scent of salt will pull the value down, leaving room for a new buyer to breathe life into the garment’s memories. Some evenings, at the docks where the harbor fog smells of tar and rain, traders speak of the coat as more than merchandise. They say it’s a bridge: between old raiders and a new generation who still defend their shorelines with a blade and a story. If you trace the creased line along the back, you aren’t just tracing fabric—you’re tracing a path that will, sooner or later, walk you into a storm you’ll remember long after the storm has passed. Some nights the coat acts as mentor, weighing boldness against consequence, teaching to listen to the sea's whisper and decide when to stay or set course anew.
