A player recruits captains and crew through the crew roster interface. This is also where the player may get the most detail about individual captains or crew members. A player may have a maximum of 5 captains and 25 crew members at any given time.
Captains and crew members are assigned to ships through the Shipyard interface by clicking on the plus sign under the ship stats at the top of the window. At any given time, a ship may have only 1 captain, but may have up to 5 crew members assigned to it. Captains and crew members add their stats (Morale, Combat, Seafaring, and Speed) to those of the ship to determine a voyage's chance of success. They may also possess other traits that affect the rewards for success or penalties for failure.
Captains and crew members become better through experience gained by successfully completing voyages. The farther you progress into the Wushanko Isles, the better will be the captains and crew available for hire. Although there are free captains and crewmembers available, replacing them with better crew members hired using chimes and port resources will be critical to advancing through the game.
Your Crew
The Crew Roster shows your currently recruited units on the left and a recruiting interface on the right. You may get more information about individual captains or crew members by selecting them in the crew display. Information on the selected captain or crew member is shown below your crew display. If the unit is not on a voyage, it may be dismissed from the roster by clicking on the icon and then clicking on the red button in the bottom left corner.
Captains and crew members are assigned to ships from the Shipyard interface.
Statistics
Each captain and crew member has statistics in Morale, Combat, Seafaring, and Speed. These are determined by four factors:
- The base stats of the particular type of unit, which are shown in the recruiting interface. The base stats alone determine the xp gain of the unit.
- The level boosts gained by the unit.
- Any traits that the unit has.
- Personal bonuses specific to an individual unit. These do not appear in the crew roster until the unit has been recruited.
When a captain or crew member has been highlighted in the Crew Roster interface, if you hover your mouse over the Stat name (Morale, Combat, Seafaring, or Speed), you can see how much of the stat value is due to base value, level boost, personal bonus, or named traits.
Level
Each captain and crew member has a level, which starts at 0 and can be increased by sending them on voyages. It is unknown if there is a maximum level. When a captain or crew member gains a level, their stats are increased by 10% of their base stats. This level boost is not affected by previous level boosts, personal bonuses, or traits. Therefore, for example, a Smuggler always gains exactly 7 Seafaring per level, no matter what.
[current max is 10 of levels]
Traits
Captains and crew members may have between zero and four traits, which are permanent modifiers given in addition to the unit's base statistics. It is possible to have the same trait in multiple trait slots, thereby stacking the trait's effect if the effect is stackable.
Some crew member types start with specific inherent traits, such as the Merchant trait for the Ardougne Shopkeeper, or the Staunch trait for Golems. Only inherent traits are shown in the recruiting interface under the picture of the crew member prior to recruitment. Any other traits are only shown after recruitment.
Captains tend to have a much higher chance of having traits at recruitment than crew members. Some voyages list a trait for your captain as a reward. If completed successfully, the captain used to complete the voyage will gain the listed trait.
Effects of the traits can be seen when hovering over the trait. The effects appear to be processed by crew placement from left to right, which can be important for abilities that do not stack. For example, if you have a First Mate and an Eastern Overseer on a single voyage (both with Solidarity), if the First Mate is to the left of the Eastern Overseer, his lower Solidarity bonus will be applied first and the Eastern Overseer's higher bonus will be ignored. The possible traits are:

- ^ The Merchant bonus works on trade goods as well as resources. It rounds down: a 25% bonus on 10 spices returned 12 spices. The way it stacks with the warehouse bonus is multiplicative, rather than additive. So if there is a 30% merchant bonus and a 10% warehouse bonus, the total bonus will be 43% (1.1 * 1.3 = 1.43), not 40%.
- ^ The resurrected character returns with the ghost's base stats and whatever bonuses the character originally had. (Currently, they do not retain their prior stats.) Ghost crew members do not gain experience.
- ^ Oddly, empty slots are treated according to the crewman type most recently in them, so if you have a Captain, First Mate, 3 Smugglers and a Stowaway (4 types so ship gains +100 to each skill), then remove a Smuggler, then swap him with the Stowaway, your bonus will reduce from +100 to +75 since the empty slot is still treated as a Smuggler meaning you now only have 3 unique types - the Captain, First Mate and Smugglers. But if instead you simply remove the Stowaway, the empty slot will still count as a Stowaway and the ship still gets +100 bonus. This glitch causes hard-to-predict changes in ship stats whenever crew are added or removed to the ship (rather than swapped with crew already in the five slots). In addition to this, despite the tooltip the speed part (and only the speed part) of solidarity stacks, even with 2 units with the same tier of solidarity.
Captains
A ship must have a captain before it can go on a voyage. Until a captain has been assigned to a ship, crew cannot be assigned to it and previously assigned crew will not be shown. Each ship may only have one captain assigned to it.
Only one visiting captain is available for hire at a time. If the visiting captain is hired, the spot will remain vacant until reset at 00:00 UTC unless a Captain Reroll is used. Captain rerolls are available as rewards for completing the port random event minigames. At reset, or when rerolled, the visiting captain (if any) is replaced by a new randomly determined visiting captain, and the current visiting captain is lost.
Base stats and specialities
Captains have base stats determined by their quality. Their base stats are the same for 3 stats while a fourth stat, their speciality, will be approximately double that value. The player starts with a free captain of the lowest quality. The first two tiers of captains are available immediately, but additional tiers of better, more expensive, captains become available as more areas are unlocked.
Base Stats | Speciality | Cost | Unlocked |
---|---|---|---|
50 | 100 | 0 | The Arc |
100 | 200 | 100 | The Arc |
200 | 500 | 2,500 | The Skull |
350 | 700 | 10,000 | The Hook |
Some high-level bar upgrades increase your chance of attracting captains with particular specialities. These are not available until the Bowl region has been unlocked.
Mod Edam has promised to look into options to add captains of a higher level than the current best (Hook 10k) captain.[1]
Personalities
In addition to their basic statistics and traits, each captain's personality is listed under their traits. These do not seem to affect game play, but they do affect the appearance and dialogue of the captain. The personalities are:
- Abrasive
- Approachable
- Calm
- Cruel
- Eccentric
- Exuberant
- Vicious
Captain names
The captains' names are randomly generated with both a first name (or nickname) and last name (or title). Usually, both are references to famous pirates and ship captains from real life.
Famous first names include:
- Aika: a fictional air pirate, one of the protagonists of the game Skies of Arcadia.

- Grace: Grace O'Malley, Queen of Umaill, chieftain of the Ó Máille clan, and a pirate in 16th century Ireland.
- Himiko: An obscure 3rd century Japanese queen -- not a reference to sailing or piracy, but could refer to the fact that the Eastern Lands are based partially on Japan.
- Horatio: Horatio Nelson, British Vice Admiral famous for his service in the Napoleonic wars and most importantly his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, that cost him his life. Also Horatio Hornblower, the fictional protagonist of 11 novels and 5 short stories written by C. S. Forester, published between 1937 and 1967.
- Jack: Jack Sparrow, the fictional protagonist of the Pirates of the Carribbean movies, John "Jack" Aubrey, a fictional character in the Aubrey–Maturin series of novels by Patrick O'Brian, or possibly "Calico Jack" Rackham, see above.
- Mary: Mary Read, English soldier, privateer, and pirate. Served alongside Anne Bonny and "Calico Jack" Rackham.
- Noodler: A reference to Peter Pan, one of Captain Hook's pirates.
- Pieter: Pieter Hein, Dutch naval officer and privateer. Vice-Admiral of the Dutch West India Company. Captured a large Spanish treasure fleet.
- Red-Handed Jill: A reference to Peter Pan.

- Ng-Tsai: Shap Ng-Tsai, mid-19th century Chinese pirate.
- Rackham: Jack Rackham (see above) or the character Red Rackham in the Tintin comic books (who was based on him).
- Read: Mary Read (see above).
- Shih: Ching Shih (see above).
- Silver: Long John Silver, peg-legged, parrot-carrying pirate featured in the book Treasure Island.
- Teach: Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, notorious pirate active in the West Indies and the eastern coast of North America.
Crew members
Only 3 crew members for hire are displayed at any one time. When a player hires one, a reroll is consumed and a new crew member is generated to fill the slot. Only 15 crew rerolls are available each day--if no rerolls are left, the slot remains empty. If a player does not want to hire a crew member, they may click the green reroll button in the corner of the crew slot, consuming a reroll to immediately forfeit them and generate a new crew member for hire. The crew reroll count is reset to 15 at midnight UTC. Any crew left in the three slots will carry over to the next day.
Up to 5 crew members may be assigned to a ship. Only crew members assigned to a ship have an effect on that ship's voyage.
For the single-stat crew members, the dominant colour of the icon can be used to tell what type of crew member they are; green is morale, red is combat, and blue is seafaring. There are also unique crew members in each region. Every region has an unlockable crew member (Cyclops, Siren Whalerider, Chimera, Sea Witch, Judge of Dice, and Oxhead and Horseface). Most regions also have a Golem unit, which costs fewer chimes but more of that resource of its type (for example, a Slate golem costs 400 chimes, but also costs more slate than a single-stat crew-member like a Golden Katana Clansman). Many regions have a unit with the Solidarity trait, such as the First Mate, which will boost stats based on the number of unique units aboard their ship. Some regions also have a unit with the Rallying Cry trait, offering bonus experience to everyone aboard when they are sent on voyages. Finally, most regions offer a single-stat Speed unit.
Not all crew types are available to the player at the start of the mini-game. As the player unlocks new areas and accomplishes certain voyages, more (and often better) crew types will become available. For example, one of the first additional unlocks is the Cyclops, which is received when the Island of Cyclosis voyage is successfully completed.
The base statistics, costs, and other data for the crew types are listed in the table below.
