Pirates can be found in the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon and the Pirates' Hideout at level 55 Wilderness or around Brimhaven, Port Piscarilius, in the Port Sarim jail, and around the Pirates' Cove at level 23. They are also fought during Cabin Fever.

The pirates at Brimhaven, the Pirates' Cove, and Port Piscarilius can also be spoken to, although they will only respond with short phrases consisting of seemingly nonsensical pirate slang. Unlike the pirates found on Mos Le'Harmless, carrying a book o' piracy does not change their dialogue in any way.

Pirates in the deep Wilderness hideout can be assigned as a Slayer task by Krystilia at level 39 Thieving. The level is required (along with a lockpick) to enter the hideout.
