-The Pirate can only receive a singular [[artifact]] as a gift from sacrifice: [[The Marauder's Map]], which can be read to gain [[clairvoyance]] as with casting [[Spellbook of clairvoyance|the spell]] at [[Basic]] or lower skill. Invoking it will detect the current location of objects and reveal the locations of any other artifacts among those objects.

 The rule regarding sacrifice gifts does not extend to [[crowning]], and the Pirate has a different crowning gift as well: A Pirate that is crowned and not wielding a scimitar as their primary weapon will have the blessed and rustproof +1 [[Reaver]] placed at their feet, while a Pirate that is wielding a scimitar when they are crowned will have it transformed into Reaver instead. If the artifact is already being wielded at the time a Pirate is crowned, it will be formally identified&mdash;in practice, this requires that a Pirate hero find Reaver in the [[bones]] of another (former) Pirate, since they cannot [[wish]] for it or obtain it by any means other than those described. A hero that is given Reaver as a crowning gift will also unrestrict the scimitar and firearms skills and have their caps set to Expert (which is generally already the case for most Pirates).
