Equipment & requirements
Four equipment slots. Nine tiers. Four rarities.
Fit the right slot
Cannons add strength and accuracy. Hull Plates and Spyglasses add defence. Sails improve sailing speed. Broken equipment has no active equipment bonus.
A tier is earned through its skill
Cannons require Attack. Sails require Power. Hull Plates and Spyglasses require Hull Defence. Each item page lists its tier requirement and rarity bonuses. A Sail T4 requires Power 20; your combined combat rating does not replace that check.
Craftsmanship
The four rarities are Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. Rarity changes the item’s bonuses; it does not change its tier requirement. Compare real combinations in the stat builder.
