Pirate Clan- Player Guide

Now that you’ve found your feet it’s time to get you moving forward

on your way to glory. Along the way you are going to battle tough Bosses, rival Captains, and

challenging Raids.

First things first, you are going to need to know how to fight. You should start by going to your

Battle List. Here you’ll see a list of other players in your fight range (10% above or below your

level). You can see their current health and armada size which will help you know if you want to

take them on.

Whenever you attack you will take your Total Attack Power (your attack, equipped items, and

items your armada are using) and put them against your target’s Total Defense Power. The

strongest of the two will win the fight and deal the most damage.

Your Health also comes into play during a fight. It determines how much damage you can take

but also the maximum damage you can deal per attack.

Each attack will cost you Stamina and will earn you Experience and Gold. Watch out though,

fighting also makes you enemies. By reviewing your Rivals List you can see everyone who had

the gall to take you on.

Let’s talk about the bigger fish to fry. The open ocean is home to plenty of Bosses – tough

customers who’ve been around long enough to yield serious loot if you can take them on.

Find the bosses available to you on the Bosses Page. Just like normal fights, it takes Stamina to

fight bosses. When fighting bosses you can make regular attacks or Power Attacks. Power

attacks use more stamina but also earn more gold and experience.

To defeat a boss you will need to eliminate them before the fight timer runs out. If you are

having trouble you can always invite other players to help you out. If you’d like to invite other

players to help on your boss, click the Help button to share an invite or the Share button to

post a link in the chat.

Keep an eye on your Social Feed and the Job Chat for help requests! No good deed goes

unrewarded. Helping others will earn you gold, experience, items, and much needed allies.

Now that you can fend for yourself it’s time to earn some gold and expand your empire. One of

the best ways to do that is to complete Adventures. Adventures use up Energy and every

adventure you complete will earn you gold, experience, and unlock new bosses and Challenges.

Visit the Adventures Page to see what work is to be done in your current location. These

adventures take energy and the higher the cost the better the payout.

If you run out of energy you won’t be able to do more adventures until you get more. Your

energy regenerates over time, but you can always get more by leveling up or using a Boost.

With Adventures out of the way Challenges will be unlocked. Challenges are minigames where

you can win extra gold, experience, and Favor Points without having to spend energy or

stamina. You can find all of your available challenges by going to your adventures page and

navigating to the Challenges Page.

Every challenge requires tokens (like Keys, Digs, or Chips) to complete. These regenerate once

an hour, but you can always ask your friends for more.

Earn experience by returning the favor and helping your fellow captains. If you are having

trouble finding these requests you can filter your social feed to show Challenge Help requests.

Nothing says success quite like a giant Hoard of Gold! Gold can buy you a lot of things like

healing from the ship’s doctor, better inventory, combat actions like bounties, and new

property for your Rule.

Storing your money in your Hoard will protect you from losing money when other captains fight

you. Even better is to take that money and reinvest it in Rule Properties which will generate a

steady flow of income when you aren’t playing.

Each time you buy property from the Rule Page the cost of that property will rise. This means

it’s best to diversify to get a better deal.

Income is earned every hour, but that can be reduced by using certain Characters. Keep an eye

out for items that have upkeep costs. It’s always a good idea to check your Inventory and sell

off inventory you don’t need.

There are three kinds of inventory items: Weapons, Mateys, and Ships. Each item has attack

and defense stats.

You’ll earn inventory from all kinds of places – some will drop when fighting bosses, while

others can be purchased with gold, Favor Points, or Loyalty Points.

Your best items will be automatically equipped to your Personal Loadout. Everything else will

be used by your Inner Circle and Hired Captains.

Adding friends to your inner circle and getting hired captains are the two ways to increase the

size of your armada. You will need to trade in Favor Points with Davy Jones to get hired captains

and accept or share invites to recruit other players into your armada.

Since every ally can bring additional weapons, mateys, and ships into combat, you will find that

your unequipped items are as valuable as your equipped ones. Fortunately, your allies are

smart and will automatically use the best possible items available to them. Growing your

armada’s power is key to winning fights.

Keep tabs on your inventory – no one wants to go to war with last year’s weapons. You can buy,

sell, and manage items from the Inventory Page.

Now that you know how to fight rivals, complete adventures, battle bosses, manage your

empire’s holdings, and stay on top of challenges, the only thing left is to make allies and join a

powerful Armada or create your own.

Inviting other captains to join you is key as they will greatly enhance your power whenever you

fight. Plus, allied captains can message you, exchange Gifts, and help you in battles, adventures,

and challenges.

The best way to rise to power is by joining an armada. Armadas consist of up to 25 members,

compete for the top ranks on weekly Leaderboards, fight each other during Armada Wars, and

will be an endless source of knowledge and support.

It is never too late to join an armada or create your own. Visit the Armada Page to get yourself

sorted into the powerful ranks of fellow captains.

Raid Bosses are challenging fights that take a team of captains to defeat. They provide a ton of

experience and the chance of acquiring high quality loot.

Raid Bosses are unlocked with 4 different Keys. Keys can drop from adventures in specific

Locations, each yielding a different key. Adventures with higher energy costs have a higher

chance of dropping a key.

Even with a large and dedicated team, it will often take several days to defeat a Raid Boss so

you’ll want a team of at least 20 captains to help battle a Raid Boss. You can invite players

through the Invite Tab on your Raid Boss page. Fortunately, players don’t have to be an armada

member to be invited.

When fighting, you will want to keep a close watch on the Raid Health Bar, as the boss will deal

a lot of damage whenever someone attacks it. When your group’s health is low you will do less

damage and earn less experience per attack.

Loot is claimed when the Raid Boss is defeated. If the fight timer runs out before the Party can

take it down, the Raid Boss will escape without dropping items.

Favor Points are an essential currency used to get you:

● Rare and powerful weapons, mateys, and ships.

● Hired captains who can bulk up your armada size.

● Refills to your energy, stamina, or hoard.

● New characters with unique abilities.

Favor points can be earned by defeating bosses, finishing challenges, winning wars, and

completing achievements.

If you feel that you aren't progressing as quickly as you'd like, you are also able to buy Favor

Points with real life currency by visiting Davy Jones’ page.

Pirate Clan is a social game that hinges on you finding allies and making rivals. One of the best

ways to do that is within the Chat.

The Chat window will always be on your page and can be expanded. Once expanded you will

find the World, Armada, Job, and Tavern chats.

● World Chat – A friendly spot for everyone on the server.

● Armada Chat – Where you and your fellow teammates can meet and plan.

● Job Chat – A server-wide place for boss links and Armada recruitment.

● Tavern Chat – Where players go for unmoderated, competitive talk.

The Tavern Chat is the most popular but also the most contentious. Within the

lightly-moderated walls of the Tavern Chat you will find rude talk and players looking to make

rivals. You can click through player’s names within the Tavern Chat making attacking and

bountying other players very easy. Captains beware!
