I suggest you talk to Mecios in the Black Moons cabin in Blackhorn Town, ask him to tell you about being a pirate.
Also you can buy the "Guide to being a Pirate" from the trader in Blackhorn. Also for general quests REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR JOURNAL!
GENERAL HELP: -
1. Getting to the islands:
Simply sleep in a bed anywhere and the missions start. You will find an item called "Map to Blackhorn Town" in with your gear, by dropping this map then picking it back up again you will be able to travel to Blackhorn from Tamriel. To get back simply talk to one
of the dock managers that offer travel, and they will take you back to Anvil.
2. Getting a ship:
The only ship on offer is the Black Moon at BlackHorn Town. Talk to Mecios inside the Black Moons Cabin to purchase the ship.
3. Hiring a crew:
To hire a crew head over to the Bilge Monkey in Blackhorn town, down the bottom you will find people to hire, when you leave and come back there
will be more to hire.
4. Hiring a first mate:
There is 3 first mates too acquire, they are located in Blackhorn town. Try talking to people...
5.Looting:
To loot you need a crew of at least 6 and a first mate talk to your first mate and he will ask if you want to go looting!
You need to defeat the enemy crew, then MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CARGO MANIFEST from the cabin, this details what is onboard. You take the
cargo manifest to Heldokti in Blackhorn, and she will buy the goods off you.
6. The Hideout:
THe hideout becomes available when you have a pirate rating of 10 or more. TO increase your pirate rating go looting!
7. Hideout Upgrades -
The hireable people for your hideout are Askaria and Seej-nar. Askaria spends her nights at Fire-eye toms, and Seej-nar is staying in the yakudran descent. All other upgrades are done through jimmy. (If you can't hire seej nar yet, go hire askaria then try to hire seejnar.
8. Checking my pirate rating:
Theres a book in the cabin called the Pirate Journal, activating this book will dsiplay your rating and the number of crew members you have.
9. Can't get out of the shipwreck?
Theres ladders between each level, you need to get your equipment from the chest in the cabin before you can leave from through the hole in the side of the ship on the middle level, its the one with the sand pouring through the bottom of the hole and the lightbeams coming out. If you check your quest journal it gives you hints at all these things.
SPOILERS: -
1. Wheres the Vintage rum:
Medilo Dratha in the Yakudran Descent sells it. You can also find it in the bottom of the counts house. Sitting on a shelf in the basement.
2. Wheres the Treasure map hidden on the ship?
I'm not telling, but trust me its there
I'll give you this hint, you are looking for a small lever...
