Pirates, the new update is out now. The headline feature is Clans. Here's a full breakdown.

🏴‍☠️ Clans

Clans are the first step toward playing together as a crew. The system is just getting started — more activities and features will be added in upcoming updates. Here's what's available now:

Joining or Creating a Clan
Search for an existing clan and send an application, or found your own. Clans can be open (join instantly) or closed (submit a request and wait for an officer to approve it).

Clan Roles

  • Leader — the clan's founder. Can edit clan info and transfer leadership.
  • Officer — reviews and accepts or declines join requests.
  • Member — a regular member of the clan.


Any clan member can send invites to other players.

Clan Chat
A dedicated tab accessible from both the main chat and the clan section. Only visible to clan members.

Clan Chest
All members contribute to a shared chest progress bar by completing daily quests. The more active your crew, the better the reward. Contributions are tracked on the clan leaderboard.

Clan Identity
Your clan's portrait appears next to your name across the entire game.

⚕️ Medic and Repairman

Both units have been rebalanced and are now significantly more useful in the late game.

  • The Medic can now heal captains. At higher levels, even the undead — though medical supplies are limited.
  • The Repairman has shifted focus from combat to repairs and gained extra survivability.
  • Upgrade paths have been fixed and some abilities reworked.

🔧 Other Changes

  • Enna Black Phoenix now teleports enemies only
  • Gear has a greater impact on ship power
  • Talisman of Serenity effect increased
  • Thorns reduced in durability and fire resistance
  • Fixed a bug where enemy ghosts could appear alongside friendly ghosts in Fleet Battle when using the Holy Grail
  • Fixed enemy sailor restoration in Raids on player loss or surrender
  • Improved cannon firing visual effects
  • Fixed mercenary ships being ignored in Raids
  • Fixed wrong ship being selected during purchase
  • Added the "Master Alchemist" achievement for crafting all types of Mystical gear
  • Various UI and text fixes
