Pirates come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. While you might be forming Alliances for a reason, to unlock a reward and take advantage of increased Gold and Reputation from Alliances, hopefully, you’ll create lifelong friendships after sharing in the Flags of Friendship Event festivities!
What is the Flags of Friendship Event?
During the Flags of Friendship Event, you can claim a unique login bonus, the Safe Travels Tattoo. You can also earn a special tankard, the Evening Tide Tankard, by forming an Alliance with another crew.
But that’s not all! You can also earn Gold and Reputation from the treasure sold by your Alliance at an increased rate! You can expect to pocket 100% of the Gold and Reputation from your loot sold by your Alliance compared to the standard 50%!
As you are the only ship on the sea sailing on Safer Seas, you’ll need to sail the High Seas to unlock the tankard and take advantage of the boosted Gold and Reputation from Alliances.
What are the Flags of Friendship rewards?
There are two rewards you can earn during the Flags of Friendship Event: the Safe Travels Tattoo and the Evening Tide Tankard.
To unlock the tattoo, simply login and set sail during the Event.
To unlock the tankard, you must form an Alliance with another crew during the Event.
How long is the Flags of Friendship Event?
The Flags of Friendship Event takes place over two consecutive weekends, so you have two chances to participate and unlock the rewards! It will be live from Friday, July 12th, to Monday, July 15th (10 am UTC) and from Friday, July 19th, to Monday, July 22nd (10 am UTC).
How to Form an Alliance
To participate in the Event, you’ll want to join an Alliance. For those who have yet to form an official Alliance, you can do it by simply climbing up to the crow’s nest of your ship and interacting with the Ship Flag Box.
Open up the Ship Flag Box and tab over to the Alliances section. You will always be able to raise your Offer Alliance flag from here. Once raised, a nearby crew can go to their Ship Flag Box and join your Alliance.
If another crew already has their Offer Alliance flag raised, you can instead use the Join Alliance option to join the other crew’s Alliance if you are close enough to their ship.
Once in an Alliance, you will see all ships in the Alliance on your Map Table. While you will earn Gold and Reputation for the treasure you sell, you will also share in a percentage of Gold and Reputation for any treasure your Alliance turns in. However, you will not get credit towards Commendations for anything turned in by your Alliance members.
