Pirate props (sometimes called Zesty Supplies) are a collection of lightly-scripted items with a pirate theme. They have been expanded significanatly since their debut, offering a wider variety of items in the collection.

Pirate props were first sold by Vahmyr during the 2011 Spitfire, in the form of birds, eyepatches, hooks, and peglegs. They have been sold in the Bloodriven Village shop, Gamac's Goods as well as The Yarrrpee Shoppe during Duskruin.

There are two parts of the Pirate props collection: wearable items that can be displayed in the unique feature slot, and items that are either hand-held or worn normally in a character's inventory.

There are six types of items that fall under the first part of this collection: beard, bird, eyepatch, fake tooth, hook, and pegleg. Each can be worn in one's unique feature slot, but will show up in one's inventory if another item is taking up priority in the slot, eg. nail polish or forehead gems. Troubled Waters featured a few items as prizes with enhancive properties.

There are twelve types of items that fall under the second part of this collection: boarding hook, boots, coin, compass, flag, glove, jug, map, pauldron, ring, spyglass, and whistle. Unlike the first collection, no items in the second collection alter the unique feature.
