# 5. Loot & Rewards

## Loot

<mark style="color:orange;">**Loot**</mark> drops as <mark style="color:orange;">**Doubloons**</mark>, both from fishing and from defeating enemies in [Pillage](/game-guide/pillage-war-pvpve.md), including other players if they were carrying anything when you sent them to the bottomless depths. Loot appears as a glowing treasure chest that you navigate over to pick up.

Current drop values are:

* Treasure chests drop 10,000 Doubloons
* World bosses drop 100,000 Doubloons

{% hint style="info" %}
Crafting resources and blueprints have been removed from drop tables for now while that part of the game is reworked. These values reflect current balancing and may change.
{% endhint %}

Doubloons can be used across the game, including to mint [ecosystem currencies](/game-guide/how-to-play/4.-currencies.md#ecosystem-currencies) if you hold an active [Pirate Pass](/game-guide/how-to-play/11.-pirate-pass.md).

## Encounter Points

Loot during a pillage is split according to <mark style="color:orange;">**encounter points**</mark>, which are assigned to all players onboard a ship when an encounter is completed. Encounters are anything from defeating a monster, to progressing a tower, to fishing. You'll see each player's encounter points at the end of a pillage as a :star:. The share of the loot they receive is primarily determined by their portion of total encounter points.

By default, the captain of a ship earns 50% of the encounter points per encounter and the crew members split the remaining 50%.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you leave a ship, you'll forfeit 75% of your encounter points, with remaining rewards mailed in-game.\
\
Keep in mind that the 50/50 split between captain & crew written above is *per encounter*, and that if you have people joining & leaving your ship during a pillage, the final rewards ratio will not look exactly like 50% to the Captain & 50% to the crew, as some may have been lost to leavers or disproportionately gained by the captain before crew joined.
{% endhint %}

## Fishing

Fishing is a key way to earn Doubloons. Players who adventure deeper into the more dangerous areas of the Pillage War arenas can haul up increasingly impressive fish. The rarer the fish, the larger the reward:

* Common fish are worth 100 Doubloons
* Uncommon fish are worth 1,000 Doubloons
* Rare fish are worth 5,000 Doubloons

## Rarity

All items have an assigned <mark style="color:orange;">**rarity**</mark>, which is generally tied to how difficult it is to receive. There are six rarities in the game, from most common to rarest:

* ⚪️ Common
* 🟢 Uncommon
* 🔵 Rare
* 🟣 Epic
* 🟠 Legendary
* 🔴 Artifact
