Game Update Notes

P.1.070 – Spiral Date 566128

Take a break from broadside combat in your brand new ship cabin! All ships come equipped with a Basic Cabin for you to decorate. Use the sigil on the deck of your ship to enter the cabin. Visit the first tab of the My Ship Equipment page to equip an upgraded cabin from the Crowns Shop or the Black Market. Go talk to Mickey Dugan for the quest “Cabin Fever” to learn more.

A new currency called “Scrip” has made its way into the Spiral. You can earn Scrip in the Smuggler's Arena (See below). You can sometimes also find Scrip by sinking ships; the farther away from Skull Island (the Black Market hub) you go, the more Scrip you are likely to find.

You can use Scrip to buy lots of nefarious goodies on the Black Market. Visit Mickey Dugan for the quest “Cabin Fever” to be introduced to the shady smuggler, and head of the Black Market, Squid Viscous. The Black Market is located through the door on the right inside the Skull Island Bazaar. You’ll find a Deluxe Ship Cabin, Housing and Cabin decorations, accessories, equipment, doubloons and more for sale.

Ready for a house party? Companions can now be placed in houses! While in a house, companions will be on the “Hangin’ Out” task and will not be able to complete other tasks.

Show off your collection of ships in the new Shipyard!
Go to the Attic while in your house to access your Shipyard and display up to 5 ships in the skyway surrounding your house. Move ships that you do not have equipped from your backpack to the Shipyard by selecting them and clicking the Shipyard button.

Test your mettle in the new Smuggler’s Arena. Enter this new housing Gauntlet and visit Scriptop to play in one of two modes. In a Practice Match you can face off against powerful foes to test new strategies in combat. Grab some friends or go it alone in a Challenge Match to face the toughest battle yet, and earn Scrip. Master these endurance fights for as many rounds as you can to earn the most Scrip. When you are ready to call it a day, choose “Surrender” and collect your winnings from previous successful rounds. Then you can come back in 2 hours to face another Challenge Match. Show off your skill with cool new badges for both Practice and Challenge matches.
