Captains - Your Personal Fleet

The number of Captains you have in the game is the single most important factor in determining your total strength in battle. The more Captains you have, the more weapons, mateys and ships will be brought into any fight, such as battles and bosses. The only time your number of Captains will not matter is in a Cagematch.
This is the first screen you will see when you click on the Captains link.

At the top, you will see 'Invite' (the default), 'Gifts', 'Boosts', 'Inner Circle (number)' and 'Hired Captains (number)'. The number in the brackets following these last 2 sections is the total number of Captains you have, with Inner Circle being human players, and Hired Captains being NPC Captains.

On the invite screen, there are 2 buttons, one for all of your friends, and one for only those who are playing Pirate Clan. The second button is the one you will use the most often.

The Gifts section will show you who has sent gifts to you, and who you have sent gifts to. There is also a tab to allow you to ask you Captains for a specific gift. This is a good way to get a lot of one item, especially if you have a lot of human captains. You can send 100 gifts per day, but there is no limit to how many you can send.

Boosts. These are very useful, every 22 hours you can use a boost. There are 2 types, the Energy Boost will provide you with 100% of your maximum energy, and the Stamina Boost will provide 75% of your maximum stamina. You can hold a maximum of 5 of each boost, and you can send a maximum of 10 of each boost per day.

Your Inner Circle. These are players who will receive coins each day from your activity in the game. Being in another players Inner Circle will get you some money each day as well. The more Inner Circles you are in, the more you will make. You have to collect your Inner Circle earnings at least every 3 days, or the bonus is lost.

The Hired Captains link will take you to the page to buy 2 Captains for 10 DJ points. Once again, if you have not gotten 1000 Hired Captains, this is the most recommended use of your DJ points.

The total maximum number of Captains in the game is 2000. Once you have achieved this, you will have a fearsome fleet. More so if you have been using the Blacksmith to improve the various weapons, mateys and ships in your inventory.

TIP: At the bottom of the Captains screen you will see an invite code. This code is a combination of numbers and letters, both upper and lower case, which is unique to you. Copy this code and paste it into the message feeds of Monthly Calendars, Special 3-Day Calendars, World Bosses and even in the World Chat. This will help you to reach 1000 human Captains quickly, and without getting yourself in trouble with Facebook.
