3. Progression

Skills and Player Level

Players gain experience points (XP) for completing nearly any activity in the game, each of which level up their various skills, which include:

• Pilot, reflects your experience with piloting ships

• Gunner, reflects your experience in dealing damage to enemies

• Munitioneer, reflects your experience reloading cannons

• Mechanic, reflects your experience patching up ships in combat

• Sailmaster, reflects your experience managing the masts

• Fishing, reflects your experience hauling up resource-laden fish

As players gain XP points in any skill, they also gain Player Levels, which span from 1 to 60. Skill levels and player levels reset at the beginning of each new Pillage War.
