Captain's Helm

Twitch & Waves

Twitch is the entry point. Viewers become pirates, earn Waves through watching and engagement, and turn participation into progression through controlled sinks.

Waves

Waves are the in-stream loyalty currency. You earn them by watching and engaging, then spend them to access ScurvyBot prize pools (NFTs and tokens) and other economy routes.

Baseline production

  • Watching: 10.00 Waves per 10 minutes
  • Watching (subscriber): 12.50 Waves per 10 minutes
  • Watching (actively chatting): 15.00 Waves per 10 minutes
  • Subscription / gifted sub: 750.00 Waves
  • 100 bits cheered: 125.00 Waves
  • Raiding (per viewer): 12.50 Waves

Baseline rates are intended to stay stable. Temporary event boosts can appear without shifting the day-to-day backbone.

Skirmish weekly WAVES

Fleet Skirmish weeks (Week 1 starts 7 Sep 2026 UTC) also allocate a config-versioned 100,000 WAVES pool alongside 10,000 RUM, split proportionally by eligible points for Captain's Papers–linked captains. After finalization, WAVES are delivered on Twitch via ParrBot !tip / ScurvyBot. RUM is paid manually. See the Skirmish chapter for scoring and eligibility. Skirmish weekly rewards are RUM + WAVES only — not pack inventory from this path.

ScurvyBot

ScurvyBot is the Web3 reward engine behind Captain's Helm Twitch gameplay. It handles Waves, prize pools, and the on-chain bridge — so a viewer can earn and redeem value through chat without needing crypto knowledge on day one.

NFT pool

!dig — spend 50 Waves to roll treasure.

Base success: 15% • Cooldown: 15 minutes

Baseline dig pool includes resources and Map Fragments; special drops rotate. See NFT Collection.

Token pool

!redeem — convert Waves through the token pool when enabled.

Pool rates, mins/maxes, and cooldowns are live configuration — check !tokenpool in chat for current values.

Useful ScurvyBot commands

  • !store — storefront link (buy select NFTs with Waves)
  • !bal — Waves balance
  • !digpool / !tokenpool — current pools
  • !digbooster / !redeembooster — active boosters

Coffer Coins

Coffer Coins are Captain's Helm flavor of Twitch Channel Points: an off-chain budget for targeted redemptions and stream-side progression.

Example redemptions

  • Cash Out Waves: 1,000 Coins → 100 Waves
  • Map Fragments I–VI: 10,000 Coins each

Available redemptions rotate with the stream. Channel Point menus are the live source of truth.

Boosters: fragments → maps → treasure

Boosters bridge chat activity and high-intensity treasure loops. Map fragments assemble into maps; maps craft into treasures; Helmsmen can unlock Ultimate Treasure.

Map fragments (I–VI)

Both maps use the same six fragments: North Shore Cliffs, Serpent's Pass, The Kraken's Spine, Drowned Grotto, Skull Rock Fork, and X Marked Dunes.

Permanent map boosters

  • Digger's Map: +10% Dig
  • Redeemer's Map: +10% Redeem
  • Ingredients: 6 fragments + 10 RUM

Permanent treasure boosters

  • Digger's Treasure: +20% Dig
  • Redeemer's Treasure: +20% Redeem
  • Ingredients: 2× matching map + 30 RUM

Ultimate Treasure (Helmsmen)

  • +20% lifetime boost to Dig and Redeem
  • Requires Helmsmen token + 2× Digger's Treasures + 2× Redeemer's Treasures
  • Cost: 100 RUM • Limit: 100 mints • 1 per account

High Tides Booster (monthly)

Once per wallet each month; lasts a full month; +10% to Dig and Redeem while active. Expires at month end (keeps value for Black Market blends).

Stacking result

Maps + treasures = +50%. With High Tide = +60%. For !dig: base 15% + 60% boost = 75% effective chance.

Design principle

Twitch systems should feel rewarding immediately, but always feed the long-term loop: earn → spend → reinvest. Live fleet combat and Papers-linked standings are documented in Skirmish.
