T
he village :

If you have a few Drakos and you wish to do some shopping, come and take a walk in the village !!
You will find :

- the chapel : this is where all the potions are recorded, amongst which the ‘care potions’.

- the armourer : this is where you will be able to buy your weapon and improve your fighting skills. All the weapons are sorted by fight level.

- the market : various objects are available here, the choice is yours...

- the wharf : here you can find equipment for crews who own a ship

- the jeweller : he can buy your gems from you, found on the treasure map, or make the reknowned magic rings.

- the grinder repairs your worn out weapons and can also buy your weapon from you. The more your weapon is worn out, the lower will be his buying price.

- The big tournament :

This tournament is opened to all and allows you to increase your experience level. There are 8 days for registration and the tournament lasts approximately 9 days in itself.

You will need to spend 20 Drakos to take part in it.

If, unfortunately, there are not enough players for a tournament, the players who have payed will be receive a refund of their 20 Drakos.

- the games room, where you will be able to spend your gems 24/7. The gems required for each game vary every day. You can also play loto, the draw takes place every sunday. The tumbler games are also available (with two types of payment) and many other things.






 



T
he maps :
The treasure map

You have 10 moves per day, you can therefore click on the map 10 times, whereever you wish.

At each attempt, either you find a treasure and a window appears, or you come back to the map and a yellow cross appears.

If you find a treasure, the object is immediately placed in your chest, however, if your chest is full, it will not be added, which means you will have to make some room in your chest and then come back to the map to get your treasure, at the same spot.

The number of moves you will be able to make on the map will vary as the game progresses :

- when you manage to get a crew with a ship and over 15 000 xp, you will go from 10 to 18 moves per day

- if you choose the explorer parrot (available from 10 000 xp) you will have 2 extra moves

The most moves you can get on the treasure map will be 20.

The monster map
This map allows you to fight against terrifying creatures so as to win some xp.

The process is identical to that of the treasure map :You can click anywhere on the map, so as to find a monster to fight against.

The higher your fight level is, the more moves you will have on the monster map.

When you stumble upon a monster, a screen appears with you on the left and the monster on the right.

At the bottom your attacks are displayed. By placing your mouse on them, you will be able to see the details.

Just above this are two status bars, your strength (fight level in fact, it influences your life points and attack power directly) and your life points.

THESE LIFE POINTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR REAL LIFE POINTS IN THE GAME.

THEY ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE ONGOING FIGHT.

When you win the fight, a screen appears, displaying the acquired XP and the eventual objects found.

If you are defeated, you lose NO life points.

The trainings :

From 5 000 xp, you will be able to choose a training.

It will allow you to gain advantages in the game, such as sharpening your weapon for free, or getting healed for free a set number of times.

There are SIX existing trainings.

For each one, you will have FIVE skill levels, depending on your experience.

The more experimented you get, the more significant the advantages will be.

Beware however, once a training has been selected, you will not be able to change your mind until the 1st of the following month, via the link « training », on your pirate’s page.


T
he parrots :

As mentionned above, from 10 000 XP you will be able to choose a parrot (via your pirate’s page)

Four birds are available to you, each being helpful in his own way :

Free grinding, gem theft + Drakos, care for free etc...

A parrot must be fed if you do not want him to get weak and die.

If you don’t feed him enough, don’t expect him to help you, same goes if the weather does not suit him...

Having a parrot is also interesting because they make you win XP.

The parrot fights (10 per day) can be a significant XP daily gain, provided you launch the right attacks...

Your crew :

From 5 000 xp, you can either create your own crew, or join an existing one.

The captain can, at any time, send you a message in which a proposal will be made to you.

You also have a ‘hiring’ forum available ("Forum" link), type or chart containing classified ads to hiring or getting hired.

By clicking on the icon, on the bottom left hand corner, representing your crew, you will have access to THREE tabs : General, Ship and Your adventures.

The first one displays all the possible actions, a summary of your victories/defeats, as well as a list of your team members (those in green are on holidays).

The second one (Ship) displays your ship’s abilities as well as its equipment (the SPECIAL equipment, such as the armoured hull, are only visible during battle).

The last one (Your adventures) is the most important, and gives your the detail of all the different quests you yet need to.

We will talk about those later on.

You will be able to go out to sea as soon as you own a ship and have at least 2 of you with over 15 000 xp. This will open up a path to new adventures.

At 5 000 xp you will only be able to watch the battles at sea, if the crew has a ship and at least two people within your crew have at least 15000 xp.

You will have several choices :

Team creation : You will select a logo and a name for your crew.

Once this is done, your team is created and you are its captain.

You will then be given the choice to hire pirates (15 at most), to change logos and to chat with your crew, via an internal chatroom.

Once you are captain of your team, the other pirates will see a star opposite your name, which means you are the current captain.

However, as captain, you will see a star opposite the names of each of your pirates.

The captain can decide to buy a ship, if he has over 15 000 XP. Then, every 20 victories he will be given the opportunity to move on to a better ship, by paying only the difference in price between the old one and the new one.
