Loot amounts for Gold, Special Items, and Rare Items for NPC Ship Holds can be increased by Mastery Chains, Fortune Aspect, and Guild Favors, but will only be increased by a player who is the Captain of a player ship attacking the NPC ship (multiple player ship captains can increase loot similarly to how multiple players can increase Creature Loot)
Loot amounts for Gold, Special Items, and Rare Items for Salvage Crates can be increased by Mastery Chains, Fortune Aspect, and Guild Favors, but will only be affected by the player who fished up the creature that generated the Salvage Crate

Loot items that boss level creatures drop are similarly divided into regular loot, special loot and rare loot.
However certain items are set to drop exact amounts every time, bonuses will not affect these exact amount items.
