Vitals Key

Your most important stats appear in the Vitals Key  at the top left of your screen -- with these you can track your Pirate's Health, Voodoo Power, and Notoriety.

Game Tip: You can hide and show the Crew Display from your Crew List Options Panel. To access your Crew List Options, hit the "F" key and click on the "Crew" tab.

Health


As they say, if you haven't got your Health, you haven't got anything. You'll want to keep your Health topped up at all times. In a fight, you'll lose Health points every time an enemy's attack hits home. If your Health runs out, you'll be defeated and wake up to find yourself thrown back in jail by the Navy.

Your Health recharges slowly over time. If you need a quick boost -- during a fight, for instance -- drink a health tonic (Hot Key 'T') purchased from a Gypsy, or have one of your mateys heal you with a Voodoo spell. As your Notoriety increases, your Health point limit will also increase.

Health Tonics
On Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba, there are gypsies. They sell health tonics which can be purchased using gold. To use Tonics, click on the tonic icon (or press "T") and it will give you health. Be wary of two things ... it takes awhile for your health tonic icon to recharge. Secondly, if you click on your tonic icon and it says, "No tonics left," you are out of tonics and luck. There's only one thing to do at this point ... run!

As soon as you're able, get to a local gypsy and stock up.

Reviving a Mate The other way to stay healthy enough to fight is to Revive a Mate. If you're defeated by an enemy, you can choose to go directly to jail or have a fellow Pirate revive you. It will cost them the same as a regular tonic, but if you're fighting in groups, chances are they need your help. If you're down and the timer runs out before someone revives you, then off to jail you go.

Crew Display
When a player creates a new Crew or joins an existing Crew, a Crew Display appears on the screen. The Crew Display shows your current Crew Members and updates you on their status.
