To get Pieces of Eight, players must participate in the Trouble Brewing activity. There is also a chance to receive pieces of eight from Pirate implings. After completing a game, each player is awarded a variable amount of pieces depending on how much was accomplished by that player as well as whether their team won or lost. A player that has completed Rocking Out may also catch Pirate implings for a meager 1-5 Pieces of Eight.
