Upcoming Ship sailing and adventure! Currently in Development

Open Sea Adventures

Open Sea Adventures is part of a new area and expansion to the game. This area will primarily be accessed via the town Kraken's Fall. From there you can purchase, sail, and fight aboard your vessels with a crew of other players.

Reputation, Notoriety

Reputation and notoriety are gained with the town by hunting down pirates or performing tasks at the Sea Hag's Roost. Reputation unlocks more cosmetic options and the ability to purchase the larger ships. Notoriety tracks your total infamy on the seas. There is tracking for your "all time" notoriety and a 30 day notoriety tracking. This is mostly for bragging rights. Your total pirate kills is also tracked. (More tracking planned)

Death and Total Failure

Should you die on the sea or fall overboard you will eventually drown or die. When this happens you will either be rescued by good sailors, or pirates. Each one will then sail you back to town and either ransom you or the town will charge you for the rescue services. If your ship is sunk, you must repair it. All fees must be paid on a ship before you can launch it again.

Ship Buying

To buy a ship you need to visit Chip n' Dwight's on Deadeye's Road in Kraken's Fall. When first starting on your career as a captain you will only have access to the sloop. To earn access to the larger ships you will need to earn reputation with the town of Kraken's Fall. You can do so by performing tasks or hunting down pirate ships out on our beloved ocean, the Tenebrous Cauldron. Ships are a one-time purchase and can never be re-sold or transferred.

Ships

Sloop
Brigantine
Carrack
Galleon
Frigate
Man O' War

Ship Upgrading and Cosmetics

Upgrading & Cosmetics

Location: Yardarm's Skirt on Deadeye's Road.
Hull Strength - Upgrading your hull strength will make your ship able to withstand more damage.

Ship Repairing & Fees

Repairing & Fees

As you sail your ship it may incur damage that must be repaired. To repair your ship after it is destroyed or damaged you will need to visit the boatswain. You can find him at the Academy of the Bos'n on Deadeye's Road. You may also find yourself with fines due to services provided by the town while out on the open sea or trapped in a back alley. You will need to pay these off at the local debt collector. Having debts in either form will prevent you from launching your ship again.

Roles

Ship Roles

Ship roles will provide you with bonuses as you level them up. You will need to declare your role before taking part in a journey. The bonuses can range from more damage when firing a cannon to faster interaction with navigation. To declare your role you will need to visit the NPC in Kraken's Fall. He is located in the Town Hall, the Inking Den, in the Office of Employment. Each role has some specialties that pertain to its title. You can look at the SHIP ROLE command to see your status.
