The Black Spot is a mount-summoning item dropped by the Flying Dutchman in Master Mode with a 25*1/4 (25%) chance. It summons a rideable Pirate Ship Mount which can fly infinitely.
The Pirate Ship Mount has a max horizontal flight speed of 36 mph, a diagonal speed of 54 mph, and a vertical speed of 41 mph. In the PC version,
Console version,
Mobile version, and
tModLoader version, it moves slightly slower (30 mph) when in a body of water. Upon achieving 21 mph, a ring of gold particles appears around the player and trails behind the mount, imitating the visual of a vapor cone. Once these particles are displayed, the Pirate Ship Mount begins dealing damage upon ramming enemies.
Notes[]
- The Pirate Ship Mount deals 100 base summon damage. Like other mounts, this damage can be boosted by items that boost summon damage.
- The Flying Dutchman can be fought before beating any of the mechanical bosses, making the Pirate Ship Mount the only mount with infinite flight obtainable before any Hardmode boss fights.
- While most other mounts are four tiles tall, the Pirate Ship Mount is five tiles tall.

Tips[]
- Obtaining The Black Spot prior to defeating a mechanical boss is a challenging (given the difficulty of the Master Mode, early-Hardmode Pirate Invasion) but rewarding task. See Pirate Invasion § Tips and Guide:Defending against events for tips.
- It is advisable to remove mobility accessories when using the mount, as they will not boost its movement.
Trivia[]
- The item is a reference to the adventure novel Treasure Island by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, where pieces of paper marked with a black spot play an important role.
- The buff tooltip may be a nod to the 2013 American biographical drama-thriller movie Captain Phillips, where the pirate Abduwali Muse says "I'm the captain now", a phrase commonly used within meme communities on the internet.
