Greedies
Greedy brigands and barbarians are a special type of enemy who selfishly hoard bits of treasure for themselves. They have a chance to appear during the melee phase of a sea battle while pillaging, and are identifiable by the extravagant jewellery that they collect and hoard, such as gold eyepatches and flashy necklaces.

Brigands
During the swordfight against greedy brigands, the colour of the mini-board beside each brigand's face indicates which colour strikes they are susceptible to: red, yellow, green or blue.
While you have a greedy brigand targeted, fused blocks of the relevant colour will have a unique appearance, indicating that clearing it will send a powerful strike to the brigand.
Players should create a solid block of 12 of one colour to have a 100% chance of stealing the treasure. Only fused strikes of correctly colored pieces will provide an opportunity to obtain treasure; sprinkles and combos provide no bonus or additional effect. Lower than 12 also has a chance, but decreases the chance greatly of hitting the greedy.
Barbarians
Greedy barbarians work in much the same way as brigands.
During the rumble brawl, the colour of the mini-board beside each barbarian's face indicates which colour balls they are susceptible to: red, orange, yellow, aqua or blue. While you have a greedy barbarian targeted, connected balls of the relevant colour will have a unique appearance, indicating that clearing the group will send a powerful strike to the barbarian.
Players should create a solid block of 12 of one colour to have a 100% chance of stealing the treasure. Only fused strikes of correctly colored pieces will provide a chance of obtaining treasure; sprinkles and combos provide no bonus or additional effect. Lower than 12 also has a chance, but decreases the chance greatly of hitting the greedy.
Sprinkles and combos don't give an extra chance to obtain the greedy.
Lavish Lockers
Lavish Lockers are a type of treasure chest that can be won from greedy brigands. When a player successfully strikes and wins some treasure, a message is shown to everyone aboard the ship, announcing the attacking player and which greedy brigand dropped the locker.
Lockers dropped during the fight are added to the ship's booty immediately, so the ship may retain newly acquired lockers even if the melee fight was lost.
However, all lockers in the booty chest are vulnerable to being plundered in subsequent battles.
Lockers are distributed to pirates during the booty division based on how many sea battles they took part in. They are known to contain Pieces of Eight, along with exclusive items such as furniture, trinkets, silver chromas, a rare pet, and a rare type of familiar.
Greedy trinkets can be exchanged at trading posts for special furniture designs, or for coin purses containing Pieces of Eight.
Greedy trinkets
At the end of the pilly when the booty is being divided, the Lavish lockers will also be opened, and you might receive trinkets from them.
These trinkets will be displayed in your ''trinkets'' section under greedies. To exchange them for a greedy purse, you will have to gather a minimum of 3 in order to make the exchange at a trading post.
