Ship Crewmember Stats

• Ship crewmembers have a set number of pips depending on the Base Rank of the crewmember (ie Expert, Master, Heroic, etc.)
• Each point (pip) grants one incremental ship bonus, and Crewmembers can potentially have multiple of the same Ship Bonus
  • Example: a carpenter can have 2% repair cooldown per 'pip'
    • A Novice carpenter (1 pip) will only have 2%, but an expert carpenter (4 pips) can have up to 8% repair cooldown
• When a ship crewmember drops, the total number of pips will randomly roll into the possible bonuses they can provide.
  • When a ship crewmember gains Loyalty, it will also gain points into that bonus.

Breach / Bravery

• The Breach stat for the Ships System has been overhauled, and is now known as Bravery. Instead of providing an Armor Ignoring effect, the Bravery stat will now provide a Damage Bonus to Crewmembers against Creatures on the same ship or against Boss/Boss Minions Wildands Expansion Patch Notes

Ship Crewmember Loyalty

• All Ship Crewmembers have a Loyalty Level ranging from 0-10
• Ship Crewmembers begin at Loyalty Level 0
• When a player's ship earns Doubloons for killing NPC Crewmembers and sinking NPC ships, all Crewmembers on the player's ship earn Loyalty Experience points based on the Doubloon amount
• Ship Crewmembers can also gain Loyalty Experience by completing Special Fishing Nets, Fishing Spots and SOS/MIBs
• A Crewmember's Loyalty Experience progress is depicted by a yellow/white progress bar

  • Players will come across Pirate Booty as loot in a variety of seafaring activities
• The amount of Pirate Booty required to upgrade a Crewmember increases with each Loyalty Level
• Players can upgrade a Ship Crewmember’s Loyalty Level while at sea and it will immediately update the displayed Ship’s Bonuses. The remaining upgraded stats (wrestling, HP) will not be implemented until docking and therefore the next launch.
• A Crewmember's Loyalty Level is visually depicted by a number of Rum Bottles (with no bottles shown for Level 0)

Loyalty Upgrade Increases
