Guide

The rules a new captain needs, with every figure pulled from the live config. What a monster does next is not in here. It shows you that itself.

Reading a Tell

Everything in the water shows you its next move. What the numbers mean, what they leave out, and why waiting costs you.

What each button in a fight does, and what it costs. The button shows you the number before you press it.

Combat has exactly two ranges. What each one changes, and why nothing out there has a favourite.

One sea, and it deepens. How to read the chart, what lives in each water, and what happens to water you run from.

Gold found at sea is not yours until she makes port. What the hold carries, what it costs to carry, and what can take it.

Turn for home is one button, and it does not put you home. What the legs cost, and why a leg is a voyage of its own.

Three hulls that play three different ways, the moorings that keep them, and what the shipwright charges.

Two things sit across the chart and collect. What it takes to get past one, what it opens, and what a sloop can get away with.

Sinking is a setback, not a wipe. Exactly what it takes, what it leaves you, and how to go and get it back.

How Brace is gated, what mends her at sea, and what repairing your hull at port actually costs.

Ram recoil and the flee parting blow both price the size of what you're fighting, and the hold counts.

The things you find at sea that change what a ship is good at. Where they come from, and every one of them.

A board on the mole, listing what the harbour will pay for. How bounties pay, and when.

Same chart, same sea, same ship for everyone today. One voyage, and your career isn't touched.
