Talk to Bonnie Anne in Flotsam to continue your adventure, where familiar friends and new faces await.

Level Cap Increase


The max level for players has increased to level 75! Players, companions, and pets can now gain 5 additional levels. With this increase in level comes new rewards including:
  • 3 New Powers/Talents per class: Talk to your trainers in Skull Island as you level up to add these new tools to your Pirate’s repertoire.
  • 1 Additional Epic Talent for companions at level 75.

We are excited to hear your feedback on these new abilities and look forward to your help testing them in all sorts of combats!

New Storyline Companion


You won't be expected to face these challenges alone. During your adventure, you'll recruit a new companion who packs a lot of punch into a small package.

Note: This companion is very experimental with each class receiving a variation (with a class specific secret special ability.) Let us know your thoughts as you play!
