Your in-game manual — mechanics, caps, and optimization reference.
This is your captain's manual for Fleet Era. Use it to understand power, perks, caps, rewards, and seasons — then build smarter fleets in the Cabin and sail with confidence.
The full loop — every season runs on these four steps.
Assemble ships and assign pirate crews in the Cabin.
Open Cabin →Pick a voyage from the board and dispatch a fleet.
Open Expeditions →Return to port and collect your rewards.
Claim rewards →Patch hull damage and lift crew morale at the Harbor.
Open Harbor →How strength is calculated and how it affects success.
Fleet power is your strength on paper. Higher power improves success odds and makes runs steadier — but only if hull and morale are in good shape.
Hull effectiveness floors at 30% at zero durability. Morale effectiveness floors at 25% at zero morale.
Exact rule
clamp( baseSuccessChanceAtReq + 10pp × log₂(fleetPower / effectiveRequired) + navigatorSuccessPp + scoutTailwindSuccessPp + scoutUniversalSuccessPp, 10%, 95% )
baseSuccessChanceAtReq is set per voyage — your success % when fleet power exactly matches required power (before role bonuses). See the waters table below.
Simplified (at required power)
At exactly required power (log₂(1) = 0): success ≈ baseSuccessChanceAtReq + Navigator pp + Scout Tailwind pp + Scout universal pp, then clamped to 10–95%.
Each voyage picks a value in this band. Easier archetypes within a tier tend toward the high end; harder ones toward the low end.
| Waters | Base % at required |
|---|---|
| Beginner Waters | 65–78% |
| Coastal Routes | 55–65% |
| Deep Sea | 48–58% |
| Black Seas | 40–52% |
Power by rarity (100% condition)
| Rarity | Ship power | Pirate power | Multiplier | Durability max | Morale max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 120 | 18 | 1.00× | 100 | 200 |
| Uncommon | 150 | 24 | 1.15× | 120 | 220 |
| Rare | 190 | 32 | 1.35× | 145 | 250 |
| Epic | 240 | 44 | 1.60× | 175 | 290 |
| Legendary | 305 | 60 | 1.90× | 210 | 340 |
| Mythic | 390 | 82 | 2.25× | 250 | 400 |
Power scales down with damaged hull or low morale. Higher morale max means Mythic pirates need more absolute morale to stay at 100%.
A Rare ship at 50% hull sails at roughly half effectiveness above the 30% floor. The same applies to crew morale. Repair at the Harbor before chasing harder waters.
What rarity actually changes — and what it does not.
Mythic assets contribute more power and stronger perk output via the perk rarity multiplier — not just more crew slots.
Crew capacity by ship rarity
| Rarity | Crew slots |
|---|---|
| Common | 3 |
| Uncommon | 6 |
| Rare | 9 |
| Epic | 12 |
| Legendary | 15 |
| Mythic | 18 |
Each class adds a fleet-wide perk — linear per ship, capped per expedition.
| Class | Perk | Rate | Cap | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo | Loot quantity | +9% per ship (× rarity) | +42% | Trade and Salvage runs |
| Battle | Morale loss reduction | −7% per ship (× rarity) | −30% | Boarding and Storm runs |
| Scouting | Voyage duration reduction | −5% per ship (× rarity) | −22% | Tailwind runs and short Trade jobs |
Ship class perks are not scaled by crew morale. Only crew role perks use perk strength (morale-based scaling).
Each role pulls a different lever — stacking the same role gives diminishing returns.
Mix roles instead of stacking one. More of the same role still helps, but each extra same-role pirate adds less value than the last.
| Role | Effect | Stacking | Cap | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scout | Faster voyages; Tailwind + universal success edges | 6% duration per effective scout (× avg rarity) | Crew 18% · combined 35% | +2pp Tailwind / +0pp universal per effective scout (class caps +6pp / +2pp). Scales with crew morale (70% + 30% × avg crew eff) × perk rarity multiplier |
| Carpenter | Less hull wear | 9% wear reduction per effective carpenter (× avg rarity) | 28% | Scales with crew morale (70% + 30% × avg crew eff) × perk rarity multiplier |
| Gunner | Less morale loss; softens failures | 9% morale + 7% failure hardening per effective gunner | Crew morale 24% / failure 18% · combined morale 50% | Stacks with Battle ships for morale protection |
| Quartermaster | More season points on success | 7% points boost per effective quartermaster (× avg rarity) | 24% | Does not boost failure payouts |
| Navigator | Higher success chance | 2pp success per effective navigator (× avg rarity) | +12pp | Inside final 10–95% success clamp. Scales with crew morale (70% + 30% × avg crew eff) × perk rarity multiplier |
effectiveCount(n) = (1 − 0.6ⁿ) / (1 − 0.6)
Example: Scout duration bonus uses 5% × effectiveCount(scouts). Six raw Scouts do not equal six times one Scout.
| Scouts | Effective count | Duration bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.00 | +6% |
| 2 | 1.60 | +9% |
| 3 | 1.96 | +11% |
| 4 | 2.18 | +12% |
| 5 | 2.31 | +13% |
| 6 | 2.38 | +13% |
Premium pirates who trade one berth for extra fleet power and stronger crew perks.
A First Mate is a special pirate that sails alongside your ordinary crew. Assign it in the Pirates step of the Cabin builder. It occupies one crew berth, adds personal power, and boosts the class perks supplied by the other pirates on its ship.
| Rarity | Perk boost to other pirates | First Mate personal power |
|---|---|---|
| Common | +2% | 41 |
| Uncommon | +3% | 62 |
| Rare | +4% | 97 |
| Epic | +5% | 158 |
| Legendary | +7% | 257 |
| Mythic | +10% | 416 |
Example
2 Quartermasters + 1 Navigator + 1 First Mate
The First Mate boosts the Quartermaster and Navigator perks from the other pirates. It does not boost itself, but it still contributes its listed personal power.
A specialist bay choice that uses one normal ship slot to strengthen matching classic hull perks.
A Command Ship occupies one normal ship slot and contributes normal ship power for its rarity. Its special advantage is boosting the class perks from eligible classic ships in the same bay.
| Rarity | Total perk boost | Ship power at full hull |
|---|---|---|
| Common | +56% | 120 |
| Uncommon | +59% | 173 |
| Rare | +62% | 257 |
| Epic | +65% | 384 |
| Legendary | +71% | 580 |
| Mythic | +80% | 878 |
The listed value is one combined boost. It already includes the fixed +50% slot compensation and the Command Ship's rarity bonus.
Example
Command + Cargo + Cargo
Both Cargo ships have their class perks boosted by the Command Ship's single total boost.
Command Ships contribute normal ship power for their rarity. Their special advantage is the perk boost; they do not receive an extra hull-power premium.
Raw bonuses stack up — applied bonuses stop at their reachable caps.
Raw is everything your fleet contributes before caps. Final is what actually applies. Wasted is the difference — visible in Cabin Fleet Stats when you over-stack.
| Bonus type | Raw sources | Reachable cap | If exceeded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voyage speed | Scout crew + Scouting ships | −35% | Extra reduction is wasted |
| Hull protection | Carpenter crew | −28% | Extra reduction is wasted |
| Morale protection | Gunner crew + Battle ships | −50% | Extra reduction is wasted |
| Loot quantity | Cargo ships | +42% | Extra loot bonus is wasted |
| Season points | Quartermaster crew | +24% | Extra boost is wasted; failures ignore QM |
| Navigator success | Navigator crew | +12pp | Extra success pp is wasted |
| Scout Tailwind success | Scout crew (Tailwind only) | +6pp | Extra pp is wasted |
| Scout universal success | Scout crew (all archetypes) | +2pp | Extra pp is wasted |
| Synergy | Bay role diversity + per-ship role spread | +8% per bay | Averaged across ready bays |
The table shows the highest bonus currently reachable from each perk. For combined perks, crew and ship contributions stack toward that cap: Scout crew + Scouting ships can reach −35% duration (minimum duration multiplier ×0.65). Cargo ships can reach +42% loot quantity.
Hull and morale quietly shape power and perk strength.
Morale capacity by pirate rarity
| Rarity | Morale max |
|---|---|
| Common | 200 |
| Uncommon | 220 |
| Rare | 250 |
| Epic | 290 |
| Legendary | 340 |
| Mythic | 400 |
Restore hull and morale at the Harbor before dispatching to harder waters.
More slots mean more roles — but caps and diminishing returns still apply.
Crew capacity is set by ship rarity, not pirate rarity. More slots let you stack more roles and chase perk synergies — but identical roles give diminishing returns and perk caps still apply.
| Ship rarity | Crew slots |
|---|---|
| Common | 3 |
| Uncommon | 6 |
| Rare | 9 |
| Epic | 12 |
| Legendary | 15 |
| Mythic | 18 |
Build strategy: pair high-capacity Mythic hulls with mixed roles. See Ship classes and Perk caps before over-stacking one role.
What each voyage type pays — and how waters scale the payout.
Each archetype has a distinct reward identity. Pick the route that matches your fleet build.
| Type | Primary loot | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tailwind | Map Fragments | Charting runs; Scouts add a small success edge. Fragments always award at least one when found |
| Trade | Driftwood, Coral, Kraken Ink | Core resource route; Cargo ships boost quantity |
| Salvage | Common Pirates | Wreck recovery; pirate chance rises with deeper waters |
| Boarding | Common Ships | Combat prizes; ship chance rises with deeper waters |
| Storm | Golden Fang, Relic, Ancient Key | Premium rare route; Relic and Ancient Key odds rise with deeper waters |
Four tiers on the mission board. Beginner Waters are free; deeper waters unlock by finishing and claiming every available expedition in the current rotation, or instantly with RUM.
Beginner Waters
Calm seas — modest loot, gentle on your crew
Coastal Routes
Stronger contracts — better payouts, light risk
Deep Sea
Dangerous runs — rich loot, real wear on hulls and crew
Black Seas
Elite payouts, brutal seas — optimized fleets only
On failure: season points ×0.1 (Quartermaster does not boost failures), resources ×0.25, bonus roll chance ×0.25. Renown XP still awards 10% of the mission value; the Season Points bonus does not apply.
Before dispatch, the expedition preview shows cost, payout, and risk. Every line in plain English:
How scoring works — success, failure, and Quartermaster boost.
Higher waters and Quartermaster crews score more on success. Failed voyages still return a small share so every sail counts toward the season. Reward scaling when multiple bays sail: n × (1 − 0.05 × (n − 1)) — e.g. 2 bays ×1.95, 3 bays ×2.70. Does not change success chance.
View Legends →Lifetime voyage XP. It never resets. Season Points bonuses apply to later successful voyages.
Win harder voyages to earn more Renown. Better preparation helps. Each level slightly increases Season Points on future successful voyages; higher levels take increasingly more XP.
Renown is attached to your wallet, not your NFTs. Transferring ships or pirates does not transfer levels. Genuine past voyages, including Season 0, grant starting XP once history is imported.
At required power there is no preparation bonus. At double required power the success award is 15% higher. Anything in between scales with log₂ of the power ratio, capped at that 15%.
Level 1 starts at zero XP with no bonus. Each level costs 600 more XP than the last. The success-only bonus grows as 0.6% × √(level − 1). There is no maximum level and no gameplay ceiling on the bonus.
| Level | Cumulative XP | Success bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | +0.000% |
| 2 | 300 | +0.600% |
| 5 | 4,800 | +1.200% |
| 10 | 24,300 | +1.800% |
| 20 | 108,300 | +2.615% |
| 25 | 172,800 | +2.939% |
| 50 | 720,300 | +4.200% |
| 100 | 2,940,300 | +5.969% |
| 200 | 11,880,300 | +8.464% |
| 500 | 74,700,300 | +13.402% |
| 1000 | 299,400,300 | +18.964% |
A small points multiplier is not a promise of the same share of a seasonal RUM pool. See Season points for how scoring is built before Renown is applied.
Season 0 tester badge — lifetime +1% Season Points from Season 1 onward
Fleet Era Pioneer was awarded to Season 0 participants who helped test the game before launch. It is a non-transferable lifetime entitlement (NTT), template ID 907190.
While you hold the badge, you earn +1% Season Points on every expedition from Season 1 onward. Season 0 standings are final and were not adjusted.
How the Moon shapes voyages, recovery, and Harbor costs.
Moon Tide
Moon Tide follows the lunar calendar. Active Fleet Era seasons run from New Moon until Third Quarter begins. The between-seasons break runs from Third Quarter to the next New Moon. Early in the break, passive hull and morale recovery speeds up. Late in the break, Harbor recovery costs less RUM.
Phase Spectrum
| Phase | Phase boon |
|---|---|
| New Moon | +10% Season Points on success |
| Waxing Crescent | 15% chance for +1 Fragment |
| First Quarter | −15% hull wear |
| Waxing Gibbous | +5pp success |
| Full Moon | Eclipse Tide or Eclipse Surge |
| Waning Gibbous | +15% resource cargo · fractional bonuses can become +1 |
| Third Quarter | +50% passive hull and morale recovery |
| Waning Crescent | −20% Harbor RUM recovery cost |
Every voyage keeps the Moon Tide boon it had when it was dispatched. Harbor and passive recovery always follow the live Moon Tide instead.
Successful voyages earn +10% Season Points. Failure points are not increased. It does not change success chance or cargo, and Harbor recovery is unaffected.
Applies: Locked at dispatch; Season Points multiplier applied at resolution only if the voyage succeeds
Example: Rule: the Season Points multiplier applies only on success. If a voyage would normally pay 100 Season Points on success, New Moon lifts it to 110 before any final points cap binds. A failed voyage keeps its ordinary failure points.
Affects Map Fragments only. When a successful Tailwind voyage already finds fragments, there is a 15% chance to add 1 more. It does not turn a missed fragment drop into a hit.
Applies: Resolution
Example: A Tailwind voyage that already found fragments can pull one extra fragment on top. Claiming later does not re-roll it.
Affects hull wear on voyages dispatched during First Quarter. It reduces the wear taken after the voyage and does not change Harbor prices, cargo, or success chance.
Applies: During the voyage and at resolution
Example: If a ship would take 20 hull wear, First Quarter cuts that to 17.
Affects success chance by adding percentage points, not percent scaling. Crew and Moon bonuses still combine inside the final 95% success cap.
Applies: Dispatch and preview
Example: A voyage preview showing 61% success would rise to 66% here unless another cap stops it sooner.
Full Moon is the eclipse phase. Most voyages in its 24-hour Tide window earn +20% Season Points on success, while some voyages close enough to the eclipse instead lock the stronger Surge bonus shown on their expedition card. Failure points are not increased.
Applies: Locked at dispatch; Season Points multiplier applied at resolution only if the voyage succeeds
Example: Rule: Tide and Surge Season Points multipliers apply only on success. Two fleets sailing near the same Full Moon can receive different eclipse bonuses if one voyage is timed close enough to catch Surge and the other is not.
Affects resource cargo on successful voyages dispatched during Waning Gibbous. It does not change Season Points, Harbor pricing, or passive recovery.
Applies: Resolution
Example: Waning Gibbous adds 15% to resource cargo. Because cargo is awarded in whole units, any fractional bonus becomes a matching chance to bring home 1 extra. A haul of 2 Driftwood has a 30% chance to bring home 1 extra.
Affects passive hull and morale recovery while fleets rest between seasons. It does not reopen expeditions, and it does not discount Harbor RUM costs.
Applies: Passive recovery between seasons
Example: A ship that would naturally recover 0.75% hull per hour instead recovers 1.125% hull per hour during this break window.
Affects Harbor full repair and full recovery prices during the late break. It does not speed natural resting recovery, and it never stacks with Third Quarter recovery.
Applies: Harbor during the late break
Example: A 10 RUM Harbor recovery quote falls to 8 RUM in Waning Crescent.
Eclipse
Eclipse Tide grants +20% Season Points on success during the 24-hour window around the Full Moon.
Voyages close enough to the eclipse may receive Eclipse Surge instead: +10pp success · +35% Season Points on success. Surge depends on the voyage timing and duration.
Tide and Surge never stack. If a voyage is Surge-eligible, Surge replaces Tide for that voyage. The expedition card and preview show which eclipse bonus your voyage will lock.
The visible Full Moon phase is not the same thing as the entire Eclipse Tide scoring window. A voyage can still be under Eclipse Tide when the Moon display has already moved on, and a long-enough voyage can catch Surge earlier than a short one.
Between Seasons
Expeditions close when the active season ends at Third Quarter. Early in the break, +50% passive recovery speeds up passive hull and morale recovery while fleets rest.
At the midpoint of the break, that recovery boon ends and Waning Crescent takes over with −20% Harbor RUM cost. The two break boons never apply at the same time.
The Moon banner, phase spectrum, Harbor prices, and passive recovery all follow the same Moon Tide state, so what you see in the interface matches the live break effect.
How to read the Cabin breakdown — raw, final, wasted, and caps.
The Fleet Stats panel in the Cabin shows your ready bays exactly how dispatch will apply perks. Use it to spot over-stacking and wasted bonus value.
Field glossary
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ready power | Total fleet strength from all ready bays, including synergy |
| Raw | Perk contribution before its active cap is applied |
| Ship / Crew | Split between ship-class perks and crew-role perks before the active cap |
| Final | What actually applies on dispatch after all caps |
| Wasted | Raw value lost because a cap was hit |
| Cap | Maximum currently reachable for that bonus type |
| Perk strength | 70% + 30% × average crew effectiveness × perk rarity multiplier — scales crew perks only |
| Synergy | Bay diversity bonus, up to +8% per bay, averaged across bays |
| Avg hull / morale | Fleet-wide condition affecting power and perk strength |
| Participant multiplier | Reward scaling when multiple bays sail together |
Example: when caps bind
| Bonus | Raw | Final | Wasted | Cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loot quantity | +126% | +42% | +84% | +42% ship source |
| Voyage speed | −52% | −35% | −17% | −35% |
Amber = capped / wasted value
Raw = pre-cap contribution from your fleet. Final = what dispatch applies. Wasted = value lost because a cap was hit. Navigator and Scout Tailwind rows show success pp before the expedition success clamp; the preview applies the full clamp to the combined total.
Open Cabin → Fleet Stats →Patch hulls and lift morale before you sail again.
Hull is your ship's health. Patch it up so you sail at full strength next voyage.
Harbor restores to full automatically. Cost scales with how much is missing — a Common asset at 100% missing pays 6.0 RUM base.
Example: a Rare ship missing 50% hull → 6 × 0.50 × 1.16 ≈ 3.48 RUM to repair fully.
Morale is your pirate crew's stamina. Tired crews swing weaker on power and perks.
Harbor restores to full automatically. Cost scales with how much is missing — a Common asset at 100% missing pays 0.8 RUM base.
Example: a Legendary pirate missing 40% morale → 0.8 × 0.40 × 1.35 ≈ 0.43 RUM to recover fully.
While resting (not on an active expedition), ships and crew recover slowly over time. RUM at the Harbor restores instantly.
