Ship and Shipyard
Ship
Here you can see the current status of your ship and review information such as the condition of the ship, the crew, the type of cannons on board and which trade goods are in the hold!
Shipyard - Repair ship
If your ship has been damaged during sea battles, you can repair the damage here.

Here you can upgrade your ship to provide more room for cargo, cannons and crew members. You can also have the hull strengthened to improve the ship's defenses and can purchase better sails to increase the maximum sailing speed.
Shipyard - Buy new ship
Once you have reached the necessary level, you can buy a larger and better ship here!

Shop
At the shop you can purchase main and secondary melee weapons, ranged weapons, rings, amulets and crystals. Certain items can only be purchased in exchange for jewels or can only be bought and used by players with a certain alignment.


The items:

Main melee weapons
Here you can purchase weapons to be used as your main melee weapon. Weapons increase the damage done to your opponents. Higher level weapons can be set with up to 3 crystals.
Secondary melee weapons
You can also use secondary melee weapons to supplement your main weapon. Higher level weapons can be set with up to 3 crystals.
Ranged weapons
Ranged weapons can strike and injure your opponent before the melee portion of the battle begins. Higher level weapons can be set with up to 3 crystals.
Rings
Rings can improve the attributes of the bearer, depending on the type of magic the ring has been imbued with.
Amulets
Amulets can improve the attributes of the bearer, depending on the type of magic the amulet has been imbued with. They can also defend the bearer against certain types of magic.
Crystals
Crystals can be set in certain weapons that have sockets, bestowing the weapon with the ability to cause magical damage. There are 6 types of magical damage: water, fire, lightning (can't be purchased from the merchant), storm (evil alignment), holy (good alignment) and squid damage.

Blacksmith
By clicking on the "Blacksmith" button next to the weapons on the overview page, you will enter the blacksmith's shop. There you can give your weapon an individual name. Furthermore, you can set your weapon with up to 3 crystals, which causes your weapon to inflict magical damage to the enemy; the type of damage depends on the crystal used. Only magical amulets (can be purchased in the shop) can protect you against magical damage. The blacksmith can also improve each weapon up to three times by modifying it; each level of modification causes added damage.

Courier
The buccaneer's message service allows you to send and receive dispatches to/from other players and your clan. Here you can also see your attack and defense reports from duels and sea battles.

Duel
Here you can challenge other pirates to a duel to see how your skills compare to those of others. If you attack weaker pirates (level -5), you lose experience points and will receive less gold from your victim if you win. Onced you reach level 50, the level range for attacks increases by one level for each additional 10 levels you have gained. For example, if you are level 50, you can attack players of level 44 or above with no experience or gold penalty and at level 60 you can attack players of level 53 or above with umpunity! However, you can never attack a player more than 10 levels below your own level without suffering a penalty.If you challenge equally strong or stronger opponents, you gain experience points. If you fight against honorable pirates, your alignment shifts a bit towards evil and vice versa. If you win a challenge, you receive about 5-10% of the opponent's gold (if the player is not more than 5 levels below your current level!).

Battle Sequence
Battles take place in rounds. The higher your stamina, the more battle rounds you can endure. During each round a dice roll determines if a successful attack has taken place or if the defender was able to parry the attack; here the attributes attack ability and parry are very important, they also determine the ability to make critical hits on the opponent. The challenger always gets the first attack. If an attack is successful, the damage and damage absorption of the defender will be determined by a roll of the dice. The difference (if positive) will be deducted from the remaining health points of the defender. If the health points of a player fall below 10 points, he/she automatically flees and loses the battle. The player who inflicted the most damage is the winner. Damage can be increased by magical weapons but this magical damage can also be absorbed by the proper amulet. E.g., if a weapon can inflict +2 points of ice damage and the opponent is wearing an +1 amulet of ice-damage resistance, then the minimum and maximum damage values are increased by only one point instead of 2. All battle statistics are shown in detail in the battle report.


Sea battles
Here you send you pirate ship and crew into battle against other pirate vessels. The battles take place under basically the same conditions as in duels, but after successfully entering an enemy ship, you can also capture a portion of any trading goods that are found in the ship's hold!

Sea raids
Here you can go on sea raids, filling your coffers with the loot found in fat merchant vessels and galleons! Decide whether you would like to be an honorable pirate who only attacks vessels hostile to pirates or attack any and all vessels you discover. Your decision will affect your character's alignment points and gradually determine your overall alignment. You can go on sea raids for 60 minutes, as a Premium player you can go on 120 minutes. Each successful sea raid yields gold, experience and alignment points for your character.

Sea chart
This section of the game allows you to explore islands and ports in the PiratesAssault world. On inhabited islands you can trade goods and use the services located in the port city or town. The prices for trading goods found in the various locations is not always the same, so an adventurous and apt pirate can supplement his/her income by transporting goods between islands. On uninhabitated islands you can bury treasure to save it for later use or search for hoardes that have been hidden by other pirates!

Guild
Here one or more players can form a guild. Using the "Guild" link you can either search for an existing guild and apply for membership there or, if your character has reached level 5, you can establish your own guild for 1,000 gold pieces. Once you have joined or formed a guild, you will see new menu options under the "Guild" link. As a founder or admin of the guild you can accept new members, set permissions, kick guild members and administrate guild wars. Guild members must wait 7 days before rejoining the same guild once they have left or been kicked out of that guild! You can also upgrade your guild's sea fortress here; each upgrade level increases the number of pirates your guild can hold. In order to continue upgrading the sea fortress, your guild will need a great deal of gold, which can be donated by the members.

Under the menu item "Guild wars", the admins of your guild can declare war on another pirate guild. Every war starts after a 24-hour waiting period and then runs for 7 days, during which time all battles between members of the warring guilds will be recorded. For each battle, the number of victories, damage done and stolen gold is recorded and after 7 days the guild with the most points in two of these categories is declared the winner. The number of wars won/lost is shown in the guild highscore and on the guild's profile. Only guilds with 5 or more members can declare a war; any time a guild falls below 5 members, any active wars will be ended and recorded as a loss for the guild! Guilds must exist for at least two weeks before they can declare a war. If a guild member leaves the guild during a war (or at any other time!), he/she may not re-enter the guild for 7 days! Each guild may only carry out 5 wars at one time and may end the war by capitulating to the enemy guild; capitulation will always be counted as a loss for the guild that yields to the opponent! Each war costs the aggressor guild 1,000 gold for each 10 members currently in the guild (example: 50 members will cost the guild 5,000 gold each declared guild war).
