League of Captains

League of Captains​

The League of Captains provides you with the quality of life you deserve! Have an unloved quest or a bonus map that you cannot finish? Just assign it to a trusted captain!

Maybe you'd rather send your Captain off on a dangerous mission to hopefully bring you back the great loot you deserve? Select the captain suitable for the job and enjoy the rewards!


What is the League of Captains:

Quite simply, the League of Captains is a place where you can recruit a Captain, train them, and if the task is suitable, send them to complete a Bonus Map, Daily Quest, or Mission for you.

After a period of time, if successful in their task, you will receive the rewards for the task, without having to do it yourself.

With some additional motivation (items the Captain would like), you can speed up the Captain so they finish the task even quicker.


How to access the League of Captains:

The League of Captains can be accessed under the Crew dropdown menu at the top of your screen, then selecting the wheel icon.

Equipping Equipment

To equip your equipment, you first need to have some Equipment, this can be gained by opening Captain's Chests.

Once you have some equipment, head to the Captain's Quarters submenu at the top of the window. On the left-hand side you shall see all of your Captains, and on the right hand side you shall see your list of Equipment.

Firstly, find and click on the Captain you would like to equip Equipment onto. This shall then show the Captain in the large section in the middle, along with their currently equipped Equipment on the right-hand side of the middle section.

Improving Captains​

There are four different methods you can improve your Captain; Equipment, Leveling, Empowering and Promoting.


Equipment

Equipment can be used to increase the amount of Reputation, Luck or Vitality for your Captain by a percentage. You can select up to 4 pieces of equipment, one for each the captains head, body, hands and neck.

In order to view how to equip Equipment, please view the post directly above this one.


Leveling

A Captain starts at Level 1, and their level can be increased all the way up to Level 10. Higher levels increase the values of the captain. You can see their current level by viewing the number underneath their image.

​

In order to increase a level, you need to gain Captains Experience Points.

The first method to gain Experience Points is by sending the Captain on different Missions, for each complete Mission they shall gain Experience Points. The second method to gain Experience Points is by Empowering Captains.

Once a captain has gained enough Experience Points, they shall automatically increase in Level.


Empowering

The act of empowering a captain will remove the sacrificed captain from your account. However, the other captain involved in the ritual shall gain experience points from the sacrificed captain. There is also the potential that a perk from the sacrificed captain can be transferred to the other captain, under certain conditions;

• The target Captain has a Perk Slot unlocked and empty.
• The sacrificed Captain has at least one Perk that is not present on the target Captain.

In order to empower, you first must head to the Captain's Quarters. From here, select the captain you wish to improve on the left-hand side.

With the captain selected, press the first green button labelled "EMPOWER" and this shall open the empowering window.

Note: You can not empower your base/starter captains.

​

At the top of the sacrifice window is the information about your currently selected captain, again this is the captain which shall remain and be improved by the ritual.

While on this screen, to select a captain to sacrifice, simply click on the captain you wish to use in the list on the left-hand side. You shall then see their information within the bottom section in the middle of the window.

​

Within the middle of this screen you shall see a percentage. This is the percentage chance that the perk shall be transferred.

While empowering, you can also add some potions to alter the ritual, each potion provides different benefits, or drawbacks!

Lucky Learning Alpha​	​	Use this potion and the chance to transfer a Perk is increased. Perk Transfer +10%
Lucky Learning Beta​	​	Use this potion and the chance to transfer a Perk is increased. Perk Transfer +15%
Lucky Learning Gamma​	​	Use this potion and the chance to transfer a Perk is increased. Perk Transfer +25%
Lucky Learning Delta​	​	Use this potion and the chance to transfer a Perk is increased. Perk Transfer +35%
Head and Tails​	​	Removes a random Perk from the target captain and transfers a random Perk from the sacrificed captain.
Heritage of Knowledge Alpha​	​	Using this potion will transfer an increased amount of experience. Experience Transfer +10%
Heritage of Knowledge Beta​	​	Using this potion will transfer an increased amount of experience. Experience Transfer +15%
Heritage of Knowledge Gamma​	​	Using this potion will transfer an increased amount of experience. Experience Transfer +20%
Ranked Out Alpha​	​	Using this potion will transfer an increased amount of experience at the cost of reduced Perk transfer chance. Experience Transfer +13% Perk Transfer -10%
Ranked Out Beta​	​	Using this potion will transfer an increased amount of experience at the cost of reduced Perk transfer chance. Experience Transfer +25% Perk Transfer -10%

To use a potion, simply click on the potion you would like to use for that ritual on the right-hand side.

Note: Any selected potion shall be used and removed from your account when you press the 'Empower' button.

​

Once you are ready to attempt to Empower, simply press the green 'Empower' button at the bottom of the screen, or the cancel button to cancel.

​

Promoting (Increase a Captain's Tier)

Promoting is the act to increase a Captains Tier. As described in the Captains post, there are five different tiers and to increase a tier you need to promote your captain.

Promotion is a costly process, some conditions have to be met:

1. The Captain must have a full set of Equipment of their current Tier
2. The Captain must have reached level 10 and have a full experience bar
3. You must have at least one Orb of Promotion of the required type or higher
4. You must pay the required Escudos cost

Note: After promotion the Captain's level resets, the Orb of Promotion is used and any equipped equipment is lost.

You must first head to the Captain's Quarters. From here, select the captain you wish to promote on the left-hand side.

With the captain selected, press the second green button labelled "PROMOTE" and this shall open the promotion window.

​

The screen shall then change, with your selected captain and their stats being shown in the middle window towards the top.

At the bottom of the middle window, you shall notice a list of requirements, these requirements must all be met in order to promote your captain. Firstly, the captain must be fully equipped with equipment of the same tier as the captain. You must have the amount of Escudos requested. The captain must be level 10 and fully experienced (a full experience bar). And, finally, you must add at least the level of Orb that is stated; you can add an Orb of a higher quality if you wish.

To get an Orb, these can be obtained by opening Captains Chests or if you're very lucky by forging equipment.

​

The following Orbs can be gained to promote:

​	Harmless Orb	​	Dangerous Orb
​	Elite Orb	​	Epic Orb

To add an Orb, on the right-hand side, simply click the orb you wish to add.

​

Once the requirements have been met, these shall turn green, and you shall then be able to promote your captain by pressing the green "Promote" button.

​

 

Improving Equipment​

As well as improving your Captains, you can improve your equipment by forging two pieces together, with a catalyst if you choose. Start by heading to the Captain's Equipment tab.

​

The first thing you shall notice when you have clicked on this tab is a list of your current equipment on the left-hand side.

​

Once you have selected the piece of equipment you would like to improve, you shall see this piece of equipment display in the middle of the screen at the top along with its values.

On the right-hand side, under the Forge Materials heading you will notice other pieces of equipment you have of the same type that can be used in the forge.

Note: Any piece of equipment you choose as a Forge Material shall be lost.

​

Once you have your piece of equipment you'd like to improve selected and your forge material, you can then press the green 'Forge' button to try your luck.

​

Once you have pressed the Forge button, you shall notice four icons at the bottom highlighting, these are the possible outcomes of the forge:

Change​	​	The item will change it´s bonus, but keep it´s type and tier.
Roll​	​	The piece has been rerolled and now provides different stats.
Downgrade​	​	The forge created imperfections in the piece of equipment, the tier of the equipment was decreased.
Upgrade​	​	Success! No issues occurred during the forge and the tier of the piece of equipment has been increased!

Whichever icon is highlighted at the end is the result of the forge.

​

Fear not though, if you have one, you can use a Catalyst to improve your chances! Each Catalyst has a different effect:

Lucky Catalyst​	​	Makes sure that the new values rolled are lucky (rolls twice and the better value is saved).
Potent Catalyst Alpha​	​	Increased chance to upgrade the item. Chance to Upgrade +15%
Potent Catalyst Beta​	​	Increased chance to upgrade the item. Chance to Upgrade +30%
Chaotic Catalyst​	​	Changes the item chaoticly into another one and then forges it.
Preserving Catalyst​	​	The item can´t be downgraded while forging.

To use a Catalyst, before pressing forge, simply click on the 'Catalyst' sub-heading on the right-hand side underneath your Forge Materials, then select which Catalyst you want to use.

​

 

Captain's Pier (Tasks)​

Within the Captain's Pier you can assign a Captain to a task and set him on his way. The type of tasks a Captain can do include Bonus Maps, Daily Quests and Missions - further information on these can be found in the posts below.


How do you access the Captain's Pier?

The Captain's Pier is the default screen which opens after you load the League of Captains using the Crew dropdown at the top of your screen and selecting the wheel icon.

​

If you are on a different screen within the League of Captains, simply press the "Captain's Pier" tab at the top of League of Captains window to switch to the Captain's Pier.

​

You shall notice that you have one active Captain Slot which can be used to send a Captain onto a Task.

Below that, there are other slots which can be rented; simply press the Charter Ship button and pay the cost indicated to have access to that slot for 7 days.

Note: After 7 days you will lose access to that slot and shall need to rent it again.

​

Assigning a Captain to a Task

To start a job, the captain must meet the required general conditions:

1. The Captain must be at least the same tier as the Task
2. If the Task requires one or more Perks, the Captain must have at least one that matches
3. The Risk of a Task cannot exceed the Captain's current Vitality

Now we know the general rules, lets get into a bit more detail. To set a Captain onto his journey you need to open the Captain's Pier menu and press "Assign Job" to open the task assign window.

​

On the left-hand side of the window you shall see expandable categories, these are the task types; Bonus Maps, Daily Quests and Missions.

Once you have expanded a task category you shall be able to see the available tasks you can complete that day for that category.

​

You shall notice that tasks may have a perk requirement listed next to them. This means that only a Captain which has at least one of the required perks of the task can be assigned to that task. If the task has no perk requirements, then any Captain can complete this task. For further information, please view the perks section of the Captains post within this FAQ.

​

Some tasks may have a colourful glow around their icon. If there is a 'glow' around the task this designates the need for a certain tier captain. The colour of the glow corresponds to a specific tier. Your selected Captain needs to be at least as high as the tier required for the task. More information on ranks can be found in the Captains section of this FAQ.

​

Once you have chosen a task you would like to complete, simply click on it to select it. You will then see the task display in the middle screen.

​

On the right-hand side of the window, you shall see all of your Captains. Captains which are unavailable; on cooldown or another task, are greyed out.

You can see the rank of the Captain, their level, the perks they have equipped and their experience bar.

​

Once you have chosen the Captain you would like to use, as with you did for the Task, simply click on the Captain to select them and they shall display in the middle screen.

​

A range of information shall be displayed to you once you select a Task and/or a Captain.

Firstly, we shall start with the Task information. Within the middle section of the window, towards the top-left you will see the icon for the task with the task name below it, as shown below highlighted in red.

Underneath the task name, is the Perks that are required for that task, if none are required, this section shall remain blank. The perk area shall be highlighted in blue below.

Finally below the perks is the task details, as highlighted below in green. 'Time needed' is the amount of time it will take the Captain to complete the task (although you can speed this up as described further in this FAQ). 'Cost' is the amount of Escudos you shall have to pay for the Captain to undertake this task, if this is blank then you do not have to pay anything. The last detail shown is 'Risk', this is the amount of damage that will be inflicted to your Captains vitality, so your captain needs to have more vitality than the risk required for the task to send them on the mission.

​

On the right-hand side you have the information relating to your chosen Captain. Similarly to the task, you first begin with an image of the Captain along with a colourful glow to show their rank if you have ranked them up.

Below that you have their name and any Perks they have. The more perks you have which match the perks in the Task, the higher your reward shall be upon successful completion.

Underneath, we have different information regarding your Captain; Reputation, Luck and Vitality.

Reputation increases the amount of the Guaranteed rewards you will receive by a percentage.

Luck increases the chance you will receive a possible loot item. Please note, that the amount of possible loot items you can receive is dependent on the amount of matching perks you have with the task. As an example, if you have 1 matching perk, you could only receive 1 possible item, if you had 2 matching perks you could receive 2 or 1, etc.

Vitality, to start a task your captains Vitality must be more than the amount of risk required for that task.

​

Finally, at the bottom you shall see the Guaranteed Rewards for completing the Task, and the Potential Rewards for completing the Task. As the name suggests, you will receive all the rewards in the Guaranteed section, however, in the Potential Rewards you may only receive one reward from that section.

​

Once you have a Captain that is at least the same rank as the task, and has at least one matching perk, you can press the green 'Send Captain' button to send them on their way to complete the task.


Captain is away completing a Task

If your Captain is away completing a task, first and foremost the Captain shall be unavailable to you to send on another task or to improve until they have returned from their journey and had a short rest. They shall appear greyed out, and hovering your mouse over them shall display a tooltip explaining why they are unavailable.

When opening the League of Captains, you will first be shown any Captains and the Task they are on, along with the amount of time remaining until their task is completed.

​

Of course, should you not wish to wait that long you can provide some motivation to your Captain by giving them some items they may like. These items differ depending on the task being completed. To begin, press the green "Speed Up" button.

​

On the resulting screen, you can either accelerate the by a percentage of the remaining time up to 3 times by adjusting the slider and pressing the 'Confirm' button. Alternatively, should you have all the items you can simply press the 'Instant Complete' button to immediately finish the task.

​

Alternatively, you may not want to speed up the task, but instead want to recall your Captain to port without finishing the task. To do this, instead of pressing the speed up button as mentioned above, simply press the 'Recall' button, and then confirm the action. Doing this means your Captain will immediately return and won't require rest, and the task shall remain incomplete.

​

Collecting Your Reward

Once your Captain has finished the task assigned you will be able to collect rewards by going to the League of Captains menu and pressing "Collect Reward" button.

​

Why can't I see my bonus map when I enter the captains menu?

Please be aware that your captain can complete only "full" maps - maps already started by you (manually) cannot be completed by your captain.

​

Why can't I jump into my bonus map?

You are unable to access any of your bonus maps once your captain has been sent to complete them.

​

Why can't multiple captains do the same bonus map?

Only one captain is allowed to do a specific type of bonus map at once. For example, two captains attempting to do a Cancer bonus map is not allowed, but one doing a Cancer bonus map and one doing a Aquarius bonus map is allowed.

 

Task Type: Daily Quest​

Captains can be assigned to complete different tasks for you depending on their perks.

Once you open the "Daily Quests" tab it will display the quests possible for your Captain.

​

Note: Your Captain need a matching perk in order to start one of the daily quests for you.

Your Captain do not require any ammunition to complete the quest.


Why can't I send my captain to do the daily quest?

Please be aware that you will be unable to send your Captain to the same quest that either you or a captain has already finished.

When the quest resets, this shall also be reset for the Captain.

I can see the daily quests but I am unable to click on them. Why?

Please be aware that the daily quests are connected to your pirate level.

Your Captain will be unable to do the daily quests which are higher than your pirate level.

​

Each day, you shall receive a random selection of Missions. The rewards for these Missions shall vary along with the time required, risk, rank and required perks.

All Missions shall require you to pay your Captain some Escudos to complete.

Note: Each mission can only be completed once per day, and may not appear the following day.

 

Captain Commissioning​

The "Captain Commissioning" system empowers players to enhance their performance on the regular sea chart by collaborating with the esteemed League of Captains.

This entails selecting one of the league's captains to accompany players on their voyages.

To commission a captain, you need to go through the onboarding process for each captain (more information below).

Once this process is complete, you can commission the captain and access their manoeuvres.

Note: Each captain is capable to learning only 1 manouver.

Captain Commissioning - How to access

Captain Commissioning can be found in the League of Captains window.​

​

​

To gain access to this feature, you need to meet the following prerequisites:

• Possess at least 1 Captain at Elite Tier or higher.
• Successfully onboard the chosen captain.
• Equip the captain through the newly introduced Captain’s Commission tab.
• Commissioning a captain is completely free.

You can switch between your onboarded captains without needing to pay a price.​

Note: Any progress you have made towards charging a manoeuvre will be reset.​

 

Onboarding a Captain - benefits​

Onboarding captains is a pivotal step that enables captains to be commissioned by players for enhanced manoeuvres.

Once a captain reaches at least Elite tier, they become eligible for onboarding.

This process unlocks the captain's potential to provide special manoeuvres during commissioning.

All good captains come at a cost; you will have to pay a one-time fee to take them aboard.

You can find the price in-game next to the onboarding button.

​

Once onboarded, captains gain a new slot that defines the specific manoeuvre they can offer while commissioned.

​

This slot will be filled randomly during the onboarding process.

 

Manoeuvres​

Manoeuvres introduce new activatable abilities that players gain by commissioning captains.

These abilities can significantly enhance your gameplay experience and tactics on the high seas.

Similar to master skills and certain cannon abilities, manoeuvres are charged through various actions and can be used by pressing a button (located on the sea chart).

​

Note: Each Manoeuvre have a different image

Manoeuvres are introduced through the following methods:

• Onboarding a captain: When a captain is onboarded, it will learn a random manoeuvre.
• Empowering with a "Manoeuvre Handbook": When an onboarded captain is empowered with a "Manoeuvre Handbook" catalyst item active, the manoeuvre will be replaced by a new random one based on the captain's stats.
• Empowering with another captain: If an onboarded captain is empowered with another captain that already knows a manoeuvre, using the "Command Instructions" catalyst item, there's a chance the manoeuvre from the consumed captain will transfer to the new one.

Your Captain learned Manoeuvre which you don't like? Not a problem!

Manoeuvres can be replaced under specific circumstances:

• Empowering with "Manoeuvre Handbook": Using this catalyst item can replace the existing manoeuvre with a new random one.
• Empowering with another captain using "Command Instructions": This process might transfer the manoeuvre from the consumed captain to the empowered one.

Manoeuvres have specific properties and conditions:

• Safe Havens: Manoeuvres cannot be used in Safe Havens.
• Charge Points: Manoeuvres require the charge points to be full before they can be used. The required amount of points and how they are gained can differ depending on the Manoeuvre.
• Stealth: If you use a Manoeuvre while Stealth is active, this will end your Stealth

Manoeuvres - Charging

Several actions contribute to charging manoeuvres:

• Assisting to Kill a NPC
• Killing NPCs
• Killing Players
• Your VP (Voodoo Points) being damaged
• Your HP (Hit Points) being damaged
• Killing Monsters
• Healing

Note: The base stats of your captain influence how quickly they can gain points.​

Reputation, Luck and Vitality all affect how fast points are gained.​

Each stat provides a bonus for a specific type of action:

• Reputation: Modifies the amount of points gained by Player Kill, Player Damage and Healing.
• Luck: Modifies the number of points gained by Assisting to Kill an NPC, Killing an NPC, and Monster Kills.
• Vitality: Modifies the number of points gained by your HP and VP being damaged.

​

 

Catalyst Items​

The new Catalyst items are designed to enhance manoeuvre-related mechanics.

These items can only be utilized when the empowered captain is already onboarded.

Manoeuvres​

Currently eight manoeuvres are available for your Captains.

Adrenaline Rush



This buff provides improves your Critical Damage, Speed and your Critical Dodge Chance.

Grand Opening Shot



The "Grand Opening Shot" manoeuvre applies a debuff to the target that reduces its Max HP by a set percentage for 3 seconds.

It's important to note that health will not automatically be healed when the Max HP returns to normal.

However, the debuff has specific exceptions, such as Admirals and Bosses, where it might have reduced chances of being applied.

Gunpowder Rush



This manoeuvre grants the player a buff for 3 seconds that triples their speed.

When the buff expires, an area-of-effect (AoE) is triggered around the player, damaging all entities within the AoE, including the player who activated the manoeuvre.

Full Metal Anchor



The Full Metal Anchor manoeuvre provides a buff that stops the player for a short time, preventing movement but still allows the use of action items and the ability to attack. During this time, all incoming damage is greatly reduced, enhancing the player's survivability.

Shields Up!



The Shields Up! manoeuvre grants the player three stacks of a unique shield buff that lasts for a maximum of 30 seconds.

This shield buff nullifies damage, with each instance of damage consuming one stack. While incredibly potent, it's important to consider that damage-over-time effects and torpedoes can quickly destroy this shield.

Voodoo Storm



The Voodoo Storm manoeuvre applies an effect to the user, continuously inflicting damage upon the user's VP (Voodoo Points).

This effect persists until the user's VP is depleted. Additionally, an AoE is spawned around the user, applying a debuff that inflicts DoT (damage over time) and decreases Damage Prevention by 10%.

Voodoo Purification



The Voodoo Purification manoeuvre has a unique cleansing effect.

It ends all debuffs currently applied to the player and restores VP. The restoration of VP is proportional to the number of debuffs that were cleansed.

Shield Wall



The Shield Wall manoeuvre creates an AoE (area-of-effect) around the player that gradually becomes smaller. Players inside this zone receive significantly less damage from players and NPCs outside the zone.​
