I reverted Fafdsfr1's changes. If experience for duty puzzles were truly based only on leagues puzzled, then Atlantis, blockades, and flotillas wouldn't increase experience. And it does. --Barrister 13:44, 1 January 2008 (PST)

Sublime rating

Anyone have any idea when this was implemented? I remember when Rifkind's Sea Battle experience was listed as rating.experience.experience10 on the Top 10 list, but I do not remember when it was changed. --Thunderbird 03:52, 14 March 2008 (PDT)

I'm not sure I understand the question. I started on Midnight in its first week or so, and I don't remember a time when we lacked a Sublime rating. --Barrister 12:14, 14 March 2008 (PDT)
Sublime was added when Rifkind hit it in Sea Battle on Azure. Before it had a name, it simply appeared as rating.experience.experience10, which looked rather funny on the top 10 list. But I can't remember when that happened. The rating itself has probably always been in there, but it didn't have a name before. --Thunderbird 21:11, 14 March 2008 (PDT)

I was wondering how exactly experience works. like how long do you have to do the puzzle do go up a lvl.i was wondering about this because i want to know how long it takes me to lvl up in experience in poker. Xenergy Viridian ocean

Taking twice as long

I noticed in the article that it says that it takes twice as long per level, yet when SFing on an alt today it took me 7 SFs to get from a fresh Neophyte to an Apprentice, but 20+ attempts to get to Narrow. It just doesn't seem right that every level is twice as long... especially considering how big the jumps become after you get past broad and solid. ~Chipps on Sage

Did you fight against players or bots? Because the experience you get from fighting bots appears to get less, the more you advance. --Alfwyn 12:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
is the Experience based on matches or time??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelegohead (talk • contribs)
Thelegohead brings up a good question. Hasn't it been determined that for some puzzles, experience is based on number of matches played, and for others it's time in the puzzle? Shouldn't that be added to the article? Chupchup 14:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Puzzle Pirates Poker Experience
Well, it hasn't really be determined, as far as I know. The article stated something along that line for a long time (see commented out sentence in the article). But it could be easily shown that (at least) for crafting skills it isn't the number of puzzles played (alone) (see this thread). --Alfwyn 17:57, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Recently changed/modified box

I think we can remove this... I think it is safe to say that the increases to experience are permanent, and thus there remains no need to continue to have this box.Jlh0605 20:11, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Criteria for amount of experience gained

I commented out the criteria for the amount of experience gained, since for crafting puzzles it was plain wrong (see this thread). It was a real quick test that disproved the theory of puzzles completed. That makes me wonder how well researched the other information was and if there isn't some truth to the league points puzzled theory after all (of course that would need to be replaced with something else in different environments).

But it looks a bit like that research in how fast experience is gained exactly is discouraged by OOO, so I wonder if it is worth trying to obtain exact information on the subject. --Alfwyn 21:32, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Puzzle Pirates Online

The Ringers allow information to the level of what's already on the article - that is, experience is earned by amount of time doing the puzzle, each level is worth roughtly twice the level before, things like that. --Belthazar451 22:06, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Effect on standing

Experience has an effect on the amount of scores needed for a pirate to get one's skill rank up or down. The higher experience the pirate has in a puzzle, the less the score affects the player's skill rank. I do not believe this statement is true. Standing seems to move just fine when you're ranked Sublime, if you choose sessions of short enough duration. I think this is false wisdom, a myth accrued over the years in the forums or something. Anyone mind if I strike it? Chupchup 14:10, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I think it is at least partially true. For SF/rumble and carousing skills, a newly created character can go up to something like grand master in a single match (if the opponent was ranked highly enough). This isn't possible for a sublime/able pirate. I'm not so sure if it is true for duty and crafting skills.--Alfwyn 17:49, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I believe it is true as well. I don't know if it's by design or by happenstance (for example, it could just a mathematical artifact of 1 score averaged with 6 scores having more weight per session than 1 score averaged with 100 scores), but my ratings vacillate wildly on new characters but not on old characters. ~ Sweetiepiepi

Update: I believe the original statement was based on Cleaver's statement: http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=48703#48703

At the time Cleaver made that post, it was very true (I suspect the system took into account every session you'd ever done at that point). At some point, the system was changed so that high experience players had more fluid ratings. --Thunderbird 04:38, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Experience position showing on leaderboard

I have a Weighty level of Experience for Bnav but I have not been showing on the leaderboard... Is it because I am not a certain rank, like Master+ or something to show on the Experience side? Gunnerfreak on Cerulean 12:26, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

When did you bnav last? It only shows you if you've puzzled in...the last week, I think? Pretty sure it's seven days. --Budclare2 00:02, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
I'd checked when I last bnaved and it didn't show my Weighty placement. I haven't been able to get above Distin lately.... About a week ago, at least, to answer your question. Gunnerfreak on Cerulean 00:36, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
I'm 99% sure there is a minimum standing required to be on the experience list (plus, as Budclare mentioned, you have to be active in the puzzle). However, I don't know what this cutoff is, though if I had to guess, it'd be Master. Jlh0605(t/c) 18:16, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

What is Puzzle Pirates?

Puzzle Pirates Poker Experience Cheat

Puzzle Pirates is a puzzle-based massively multiplayer online game developed by Grey Havens. Puzzle Pirates was released on December 3rd, 2003. In this MMO, the player takes the role of a pirate that can adventure the high seas pillaging for pieces of eight (“Poe”), establish “shoppes” in order to combine labor and commodities for profits, join or captain crews of pirates, and play parlor games like poker. Unique to Puzzle Pirates is its player-driven economy and puzzle-based gameplay. Every cannonball fired was made by a player at their shoppe or stall, and purchased by the ship’s captain. In order to fire the cannons, pirates must play a puzzle to load them. This allows a pirate with good puzzling skills to become irreplaceable to a crew.

Is it worth playing in 2020?

Play puzzle pirates

To someone who played Puzzle Pirates closer to its release in 2003, you may be surprised to find out that it is still alive and kicking. For the past month, I have revisited this game and it has quickly consumed me and become the game I choose to play in my free time. I wanted to share my experience with you because I think Puzzle Pirates still has a thriving community, wonderful player market, and community-driven gameplay that needs to be learned about and replicated in the future. If I am able to convince just a few people to give this game a shot I’ll be happy, and we will be one step closer to keeping this legendary game alive.

Puzzle Pirate’s Community in 2020.

During my return to the game, I have frequently been checking the server status to see how many players are online at any given time. On any given day, I normally see the range of pirates online to be anywhere from 400-700 range. I would expect this number to rise when there is a significant event going on, or during the weekend while blockades are happening to take control of the islands (this is a great way to earn Poe).

To someone who is accustom to large MMO player counts that you might see in World of Warcraft or RuneScape, 400 players online will probably appear to be a dead community. However, I think there is a lot of pros to be had in a small community of daily players. The experience reminds me of my time playing in Minecraft servers with small player slot limits. When your playing, you will encounter the same people, again and again, allowing you to establish relationships that I never could in other MMOs. I love sitting down at a poker table and having 2-3 people go “Look who it is!” and becoming excited to see me again. Also when I am the Captain on a pillage, It brings me joy to see familiar names that I know will perform well come aboard my ship. This small community of daily players allows for the average player to make a name for themselves just by being friendly or skilled in their puzzle or trade.

Picking the right crew

Puzzle Pirates Download

Crews in Puzzle Pirates are similar to guilds in other MMO’s. Just in this game it, of course, follows a pirate theme having a captain, officers, and normal pirates. I was lucky enough to find a great crew when I first got back into the game and I wanted to take a second to appreciate them here. I joined “Hold my Ale” on Emerald Ocean which is an amazing crew full of friendly people. They run events on discord and have no problem helping new players learn the game. So if you’re getting into the game I recommended trying to join them by joining their discord server here or you can add me on discord (Danger Dave#4430) and I will do my best to get you in!

So while the Inn’s might not be as full as they were back in 2008, there are enough pirates coming back on every day that you will never feel alone. There’s always a pillage for you to join, a poker table to lose Poe at, and a bustling trade chat full of merchants trying to make some doubloons. So while Puzzle Pirates doesn’t have the player count it once had, it is still an amazing community of players.
