Buccaneer’s Booty is an armoury on the secluded settlement of Buccaneer's Den, headquarters of pirates and other assorted thugs. This establishment appears during Ultima V and Ultima VI.

History[edit]

During the tyrannical regime of Lord Blackthorn, this shop served the same purpose as the closed-down Basic Armour and Hook's Arms shops from previous ages, and was owned by Kitiara in Ultima V. Two decades later, as the Gargoyle War raged in the Realm of Britannia during Ultima VI, the shop had a new owner, the horribly scarred Enrik.

The shop closed down sometime in the following centuries, and by Ultima VII, weapons and armour were instead sold by Budo the Fourth.

The Ultima 6 Project[edit]


This is an Ultima 6 Project-related NPC article or section. The information within may not apply to Ultima VI or other Ultima games.


In The Ultima 6 Project, Enrik was the only blacksmith willing to accept weapons and armour that clearly were from the army of Britannia – therefore most likely gained by criminal means. He did not care where the wares came from and acted as the local fence.
