Information on the open world patrol missions

[Ink]

Hello captains

Within a week new type of daily mission will appear in game for testing

Rules:

• Arrive to a designated area
  
• Deal as much damage as possible to ships located in that area (both players and npc's count), return to the zone if you sink to finish the goal.
  
  • all damage counts, crew, sails, structure, planking.
• Receive PVP marks for completion (by claiming in the mission interface)
  
• All other considerations are secondary, running is discouraged, ships expendable.

Motivation to fight

• To discourage running, escape is impossible from the battles created within the patrol zone.
  
• Exit is only possible if all enemies are sank
  
• Running from battles is punishable by death (your ship is destroyed)
  
• Battle zone within the combat instance gives plenty of room initially, but shrinks to 400m by 1h-25 mins to completely remove the desire to kite.

Rewards

Initial mission rewards are set as follows - for testing!: Deal 20000 damage, receive 10 PvP marks
(for reference purpose if you de-sail and destroy a trader's brig you will get 6000 damage)

• Once the basic mission is tested we will we will add tiered rewards which will allow you to receive more rewards if you survive longer and stay in the zone longer.
  
• We will also add more things to admiralty stores to spend the pvp marks on (including more ship notes, books and upgrades).

Locations

Admiralty will provide a new patrol area every 24 hours from the following list.

• Nassau patrol: area between nassau and shroud cay - nearest freetown Shroud cay
  
• Hispaniola patrol: area in the hispaniola channel - nearest freetown La tortue
  
• Tumbado Patrol: area between cuba and tumbado - nearest freetown Tumbado
  
• Antilles Patrol - area between aves and antilles islands chain - nearest freetown Aves

With the exception of nassau - other initial locations are in the open water. But we will consider adding more zones or changing locations to areas with more islands if needed.
