How to Apply a Skill Point

How to Apply a Skill Point Each time your Pirate gains a level in a Weapon, you earn 1 Skill Point for that Weapon. You can then spend these Skill Points to unlock new Skills or upgrade existing Skills to make them more powerful. Each weapon has a level cap of 25, so you can gain up to 24 skill points per weapon.

To spend a Skill Point, open up your Skill Panel (K) in your Sea Chest. Next, click on the Weapon Tab that matches the weapon you want to upgrade. The Skill Icons that are fully colored represent Skills that you have already learned, while partially transparent Skill Icons represent Skills that you have unlocked, but still need to be purchased by spending a Skill Point. The empty black circles you see represent Skills that can be unlocked in the future by leveling up that Weapon.

You will see a number of dots underneath each of the Skill Icons - these indicate your Rank in that particular Skill. Skills with a higher Rank are more powerful and inflict more damage on an enemy during battle. You can spend a Skill Point to upgrade your Rank on a Skill by clicking on the Skill Icon. Please note - a Skill cannot be upgraded past Rank 5.

There are three major categories of Skills. Skills in the topmost row are Attack or Combo Skills that can be triggered by using the Attack button (Left Mouse or CTRL). Skills in the middle ring are Skills that show up in your Skill Bar. These need to be triggered manually during combat. Lastly the bottom-most row contains your Passive Skills. Passive Skills grant your Pirate new abilities that are permanently active in the background. These Skills do not need to be triggered manually like the other skills.
