However, it appears that special handling is needed. It says:
"You must earn 1,000 swagger during a pirate season to purchase this item."
At the bottom, underneath "You have X swagger", it says:
"You've earned 0 swagger during a pirate season, yarrr."
Note that both messages talk about earning swagger "during a pirate season", not "during this pirate season". Given how the English language works, I parse that as saying that your "pirate season swagger" is a running total that will carry over in to future "pirate seasons" (if there are any) and that having (ever) earned 1,000 in a "pirate season" unlocks this item. In fact, I fully expect that the item will always be available in the swagger shop, but only those who have unlocked it will be able to spend their swagger to buy it.
Others have jumped to conclusion that the item will only be in the shop during a pirate season and that only swagger earned during a specific season can be used to buy it. I don't think the language supports the latter, but it won't be long be long before we can test; there are many people with lots of banked swagger who will, soon enough, earn 1,000 this season and will try to buy multiple of this item.
In any case, this is new for this coinmaster, at least: an item that is "available" that you have to unlock in order to buy. Reminiscent of how the lighthouse keeper's bombs are available from the Dimemaster or Quartersmaster, if you have completed the lighthouse quest for that side. I think that mechanism could stand to be generalized - and that we need to track "swagger earned during a pirate season", even if only by parsing it out of the response text from visiting the swagger shop.
