Infamy

Infamy is an upcoming feature for PvP and SvS. Infamy will be two experience tracks that will be earned with every victory you achieve in PvP and Privateering. This experience will earn you special badges and rewards when you meet certain achievement levels. The rewards will allow you to customize your Pirate's name tag and ship with Infamy Badges which you can proudly display for everyone to see.

Players will also be able to spend their Infamy to purchase unique items from New Merchants who have set up on Ile D'Etable De Porc, Isla De La Avaricia and in Barbossa's Grotto on Devil's Anvil.

Note: For each day that you do not participate in PvP or SvS, you will lose one Infamy point.

Infamy Ranks
There are seven ranks of infamy for both SvS and PvP. These ranks are exponentially harder to achieve.

Sea Combat Infamy
The ranks for SvS rank increase with your sea battle victories. With more rep for the ship with higher score.

Land Combat Ranks
Ranks for PvP increase as you win duels and mayhems.

Merchants: PvP Infamy Rewards
New items, including clothing, tattoos and scars can be purchased from these special merchants. However, they will only sell items once you've acheived a certain level of Infamy.

Each merchant appears to offer the same variety.


 * Bartholomew Pugfury on Isla De La Avaricia
 * Basil Calledougal (Infamy) on Ile d'Etable de Porc
 * Leon Warhawk in Barbossa's Grotto on Devil's Anvil

Infamy Merchandise
In addition to new clothes and tattoos, merchants will also be offering battle scars where pirates can display the badges of combats past.



Badge of Honor
As a pirate earns their Infamy, they may choose to display their rank and level next to their nametag as a matter of pride, to impress friends or intimidate rivals. Or, they may turn it off in a moment of humility. This can be done by going to the Badge option in the Infamy menu. Simply check the box for Pirate Nametag or Ship Nametag to display or hide your current infamy level. Also, founders now have the option to turn on and off their founder coin, if it is turned of they may display their badges, and their nametag is shown as white. You may not display multiple badges on the same nametag. PiratesOnline has also confirmed that scars to customize your pirate will be added with this update, however it is unknown if it will be a part of the new merchants or not.
