How to Obtain

There are 4 ways to obtain ships.

1. Building
2. Buying
3. Plundering
4. Salvaging

Building

The primary and most direct method of obtaining ships is building them at the Shipwright. Using the above Baseline Cost Table, you can build any of the buildable ships assuming you have sufficient turns, gold coin, and required resources in a warehouse.

Buying

The secondary method is to purchase ships built by others and placed for sale on the Ship Market. Ships here have varying values and can be brand new or fully leveled up. Credits are required to purchase ships from the Ship Market. Buying ships on the market is not a guarantee as you are bidding for the ship versus other players.

Plundering

Ships can be obtained via plunder. Plundering is not a guarantee to obtain a ship. Ship plunder is dependent on several factors and only occurs when the losing fleet does not have sufficient funds to pay the plunder ransom. You can find specific details on the Plunder & Skirmish page.

Salvaging

Ships can be obtained via ship salvaging, in game known as Shipwreck Hunting. Shipwreck Hunting is not a guarantee to obtain a ship as it is dependent on both ships being on the sea floor and the make up of the ships in the fleet you are using to ship salvage. Details on Shipwreck Hunting can be found on the Game Mechanics page.

Leveling

Ship levels can be both gained and lost.

Details on losing levels can be found in Plunder & Skrimish and Voodoo.

There are two means to gain ship levels.

1. Gold Coin
2. Voodoo Card - Expedition Journey

Gold Coin Leveling Cost

The cost for each ship level upgrade is calculated as: Gold to upgrade = Current Ship Level * Base Ship Value / 2

Ship Traits

Ship Traits are a bonus or ability that is either always applied to a ship or triggered to activate when conditions are met.

Rules Governing Ship Trait Assignment:

• Every ship gets a random ship trait once built (MoWs when given).
• Every ship has a 5% chance to get 2 traits instead of 1.
