# Starting Out

Begin your journey on the seas by first getting yourself a Founder's Pirate in one of the following places:

[PoP Marketplace](https://marketplace.proofofplay.com/ethereum/collection/0x1b41d54b3f8de13d58102c50d7431fd6aa1a2c48)

[Blur](https://blur.io/collection/piratenation)

[Magic Eden](https://magiceden.io/ja/collections/ethereum/0x1b41d54b3f8de13d58102c50d7431fd6aa1a2c48)

If you have a code, you can mint a free Pirate NFT directly on the [game signup page](https://piratenation.game/play).\
Your Founder's Pirates will live on Ethereum while all gameplay and free Pirate NFTs are on Proof of Play's Apex and Boss chains. To get ETH onto any of these two chains, you can use the [Relay bridge](https://relay.link/bridge/apex?fromChainId=1\&fromCurrency=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000), while the [Orbiter Finance bridge](https://www.orbiter.finance/en?token=ETH\&dest=Proof+of+Play+Apex\&source=Ethereum\&src_chain=1\&tgt_chain=70700\&src_token=ETH) currently only works for Apex.
