Tips:
- If your server has no Pirate King, then the R5 of the gang can choose the time slots.
- During the registration period, the expected participation time can be adjusted.
- If no time slot is selected after the countdown, the system will automatically select two time slots to proceed to the next phase.

Top10 Tips for Black Sail Expedition!
During the battle phase, will the attackers be transported to the actual defender’s S1 map? or a simulated copy of it?
- Players will be transported to the actual defender’s S1 map.
If we are transported to the defender’s S1 map, wouldn’t that give them an unfair advantage? Since they would have extra buffs from their S1 incidents.
- Not at all. During the battle phase, teams will carry over the buffs they have unlocked from their seasonal map. Meaning there will be no advantage for either team in regards to incident buffs.
Will this event be available for everyone? Or only after a certain season?
- This event will be available to players only after they enter S2, it will start a few weeks into their season.
When there are multiple gangs in your server going into this event, would there be a way to prevent attacking people from your own server?
- In a world full of pirates there is always a chance of betrayal, however for this event we strongly encourage servers to work together as a team!
When attackers arrive in defender’s map, can they gather, auto-trade, complete incidents, purchase goods or attack Sentry Towers?
- No, they can’t.
Can attackers use their Golden Compass to find treasures or obtain Acquaintance Rewards?
- Nope, attacker’s can’t do this in the defenders S1 map.
Are there any other restrictions or tips we should know about?
- Yes, during the battle phase, players can’t join Raids or change Gangs. Players will also have unlimited uses of their “Eye of the Sea” allowing them to teleport to their hearts content!
What happens if I am defeated during the event? Will we be sent back to our current season map?
- If your fleet is sunk, you will respawn in the Defender’s S1 map near the temporary “Mystic Floating Islands”. Once the event is over, players will be automatically sent back to their Seasonal Map. Also, at any point in the battle, you can decide to leave the battle and return to your Seasonal map if needed.
What do I do if I’m low on sailors during the battle phase?
- You can refill and/or buy sailors at your team’s “Mystical Floating Island”, which functions similarly to a regular Port.
Will I encounter enemies from other seasons? That would make the battle very unbalanced and not fair.
- Worry not captain! You will only face opponents that are currently in the same Season as you. (This includes all servers that are in the same Season #, not only those who were matched with you in your Seasonal Map).
