3. Progression

Skills and player level

Players gain experience for nearly any activity in the game, and it levels up the skill it belongs to:

• Pilot, for piloting ships
• Gunner, for dealing damage to enemies
• Munitioneer, for reloading cannons
• Mechanic, for patching up ships in combat
• Sailmaster, for managing the masts
• Fishing, for hauling up resource-laden fish

Experience in any skill also raises your player level, which runs from 1 to 60. Skill levels and player levels reset at the start of each new Pillage War.

Rating

Players gain Rating by playing Pillage and Deathmatch. There are two: a PvP rating and a PvE one. Rating resets at the end of each war along with everything else.
