10. Land

Benefits

Land ownership is a complex end-game progression system that grants users ownership over a key element of the game economy. Players can participate in the land system by either collecting the Land Crystals and then subsequently crafting a land plot, or by purchasing a land plot directly in the Auction House.

Active ownership over land can grant:

  • 5% of each Warchest's rewards (primarily nuggies, but also any other partner airdrops)

  • Player titles

  • Guild titles

To receive benefits, land plots must remain active. Land plots that are not active on a given day will have their benefits disabled for that day. Rewards are distributed as Doubloons daily to land plot owners on the side that has more objective points.

The land system is highly experimental and likely to go through iterative adjustment in the future. Do not purchase land as an investment or with the intention to speculate on real cash value.

Land Plots

Land plots are crafted by combining land crystals. Each faction's main port island has a maximum of 1,000 land plots. There are two factions, for a total of 2,000 available land plots.

The Governor title is granted to the owner of the guild with the most land plots on an island. The Champion title is granted to the owner of the guild with the most enemy faction ships destroyed on behalf of that island.

Land plots can be viewed at the Landsmith. Players can view the distribution of guild affiliated ownership, indicated by the guild symbols on the panel.

Maintenance

Land plots require maintenance to remain active. Upkeep costs associated with maintenance depend on various player participation variables, with each land plot requiring some amount of land crystals per day. Maintenance is performed by adding requisite resources to the maintenance panel at the Landsmith.

If a land plot is not maintained by keeping the requisite amount of maintenance resources in the maintenance inventory menu, it becomes inactive and begins to degrade over a 72 hour period. After 72 hours of degradation, it will be automatically dissolved back into land crystals.

This feature was inspired by Runescape's Managing Miscellania, and may be improved over time to incorporate more customization.
