One strategy is to pull the Book of Pirate Insults, and hunt insults while finding the outfit.
Not that the script shouldn't be changed, but that isn't a normal strategy. Either pulls are tight enough that you shouldn't be pulling the insult book (or the outfit), or they're loose enough that you should pull the full outfit. It's common to pull a clockwork pirate skull (assuming knoll sign) (or an NPZR head if you have the meat to spend) to get +turngen and an eyepatch, and then it's only 2 pulls for the outfit versus 1 for the book.
