What the live game says today: the official game description on Roblox

From the Plunder Ocean Guide

One rule drives everything

Gold you are carrying can be lost if you sink. Banking it is how you keep it.

Every trip asks: go for more, or go home now?

The loop

  1. Sail out from Port Haven, the safe harbor in the middle of the map.

  2. Sink ships with your crew's attack and big Special move. Loot floats up and fills your hold.

  3. Bank it at a gold ring (Bank Buoy) or back in port.

  4. Open chests and level up your ships with cards and banked Gold.

  5. Beat bosses in the coves at the edge of the map. Each guards one jewel of the lost Tidecrown.

  6. Bring all nine jewels home to the sunken throne and become the new Pirate King.

From the Plunder Ocean Guide

The Legend of the Tidecrown

In the guide, the story is told by ten glowing Legend Stones hidden at story sites around the map. Players find them in any order, and the Legend book puts them in order.

Chapter 1

The Pirate King

Long ago, the kindest pirate on the seas was Captain Aurelio Sunbeard, the Pirate King. He dropped his giant anchor right here and said, "In this harbor, every sailor is safe." That harbor became Port Haven, and no cannon may fire there to this day.

Chapter 2

The Tidecrown

Sunbeard wore the Tidecrown, a crown of gold with nine magic jewels. Whenever a storm grew grumpy, the crown hushed it back to sleep. His great statue still stands in the sea, its crown gone and its finger pointing north.

Chapter 3

The Golden City

North of the harbor stood Aurelia, the Golden City, with white towers and windows that glowed like lanterns. Sunbeard kept the Tidecrown on a throne in its palace, so the whole sea stayed calm.

Chapter 4

The Admiral's Trick

Admiral Steelhook wanted the crown for himself. One night he sailed his fleet to Aurelia and hooked the Tidecrown right off its throne! But a crown that calms storms gets VERY cross when it is stolen.

Chapter 5

The Great Storm

The Tidecrown cracked, and its nine jewels shot across the sky like falling stars. Without them the storm woke up roaring. Ships from both fleets were tossed here, and golden Aurelia sank beneath the waves.

Chapter 6

Nine Jewels, Nine Keepers

Each jewel landed with someone who would not give it back: a cook, a crab, a skeleton, a gator, a hydra, an admiral, an ice serpent, a fire captain... and the Kraken itself. Each keeper hides in a cove at the end of a canyon.

Chapter 7

The Watchfires

Sunbeard's crew could not stop the storm, so they built the Storm Gate and a chain of watchfires. Every night the fires shout to passing ships: "Turn back, sailor!" Brave pirates sail through anyway.

Chapter 8

The Kraken's Lullaby

The Kraken caught the biggest jewel, the Heart of the Tide, and curled up with it in its Maw. Every night the Pearl Hydra sings it a three-headed lullaby so it stays asleep. Shh! Unless you are ready for a really big fight.

Chapter 9

The Empty Throne

Deep under the storm, the Pirate King's throne still waits in Aurelia's palace. Nine empty jewel sockets glow on the wall. Sunbeard carved a promise: "Bring the jewels home, and the Tidecrown will choose a new Pirate King."

Chapter 10

The Crown Hunters

Now pirates from every port hunt for the nine jewels. Some want gold, some want glory, and some just want a calm sea. The last carving shows a brand-new captain wearing the Tidecrown. It looks a lot like you.

From the Plunder Ocean Guide

The Nine Jewels and their Keepers

When Admiral Steelhook stole the Tidecrown, it cracked and its nine jewels flew across the sea. Each landed with someone who will not give it back. Each keeper lives in a boss cove at the end of a canyon.

  1. Jewel 1

    Sunstone

    Keeper Captain Barnacle Bart

    Cove Bart's Galley

    Bart was Sunbeard's ship cook. He uses the Sunstone as a doorstop and says he found it fair and square.

  2. Jewel 2

    Coral Ruby

    Keeper The Giant Crab King

    Cove The Clawthrone

    The Giant Crab King wears it on his head and makes everyone call him Your Royal Clawness.

  3. Jewel 3

    Moonstone

    Keeper Bonecaller Rook

    Cove Rook's Roost

    Rook was Sunbeard's lookout. Now he is a rattly skeleton captain, and the Moonstone makes his ghost-fire glow green.

  4. Jewel 4

    Swamp Emerald

    Keeper Bog Gator King

    Cove The Royal Nest

    The Gator King sits on it in his nest. He thinks it is an egg. Nobody has the heart to tell him.

  5. Jewel 5

    Song Pearl

    Keeper Pearl Hydra

    Cove The Singing Pool

    The Pearl Hydra hums into it every night with all three heads to sing the Kraken's lullaby.

  6. Jewel 6

    Storm Sapphire

    Keeper Admiral Steelhook

    Cove Steelhook's Keep

    Steelhook started the whole mess. He keeps the Sapphire locked in his fortress, crackling with tiny lightning.

  7. Jewel 7

    Frost Diamond

    Keeper Frost Leviathan

    Cove The Frozen Throat

    The Frost Leviathan froze it inside an iceberg and guards it with a very chilly grin.

  8. Jewel 8

    Ember Opal

    Keeper Inferno Dread

    Cove The Ember Forge

    Inferno Dread keeps his ship's furnace roaring with it. That is why his cannonballs are so toasty.

  9. Jewel 9

    Heart of the Tide

    Keeper The Kraken

    Cove The Deep Maw

    The biggest jewel of all. The Kraken sleeps curled around it, deep in its Maw.

When you take a jewel, Admiral Steelhook shouts a taunt. Bring them to the throne in the Drowned City, and once all nine are home the Tidecrown chooses a new Pirate King. No keeper artwork exists yet; the colored marks are simple jewel swatches.

From the Plunder Ocean Guide

The World

The sea is a big circle with Port Haven in the middle. It starts covered in fog, which clears as you explore. The rim of the map is land cut by 20 canyon mazes, and nine of them end in boss coves.

Storm Waters

Far north

The storm that woke when the crown cracked: lightning, whirlpools and waterspouts. Everything you plunder here pays 13/8 (x1.625). The Drowned City sleeps below.

The Open Sea

East, west and near north

Big waves, big islands, bigger Navy ships.

Port Haven

Center

The Pirate King's safe harbor. No cannon may fire inside the Reef Line. Shore cannons guard Harbor Waters just outside.

The Shallows

South

Warm, calm water for new pirates. Easy Navy ships.

The rim: land cut by 20 canyon mazes, nine ending in boss coves

How it plays

The guide's walkthrough of the game's systems. Numbers are the guide's design values and may differ in the live game.

Your first ten minutes

  1. Pick a first mate. Three are offered for free. Each mate comes with their own ship and attack.
  2. See the goal card: Sink ships, Bank Gold, Level up, Beat bosses, Pirate King. Tap anywhere and you're at sea.
  3. Your mate coaches you, one short line at a time: steer (drag on the left side, or W A S D), follow the gold trail to the Navy ship, tap FIRE (or click) to shoot the marked ship, sail to the gold ring to keep your Gold, open your chest and level your ship up, tap PARTY to sail with other captains, then meet your first boss, Captain Barnacle Bart.
  4. Short tips pop up when they matter: out of shots, Special ready, hull hurt (stop firing for 3 seconds to repair), sunk, boost, gadget, dive and menu.
  5. Then the Island Quests take over and lead you round the whole map.

Handy buttons

  • SAIL HOME steers your ship back to Port Haven by itself and docks at the nearest pier. Steering yourself cancels it.
  • Ladders on every pier: fall in the water and you can climb back up.
  • Tap anywhere to close reward screens. No hunting for the button.

Island Quests: the 25-stop tour

A small bar under the Gold counter shows your next stop and how far away it is. The big map's marker and a gold trail point the way. Sail close and it pays straight into your bank. The route goes outward from Port Haven, ring by ring, so it never criss-crosses the map. Every stop also gives 30 XP.

All 25 stops together pay 10,700 Gold, 3 Silver chests and 4 Golden chests, plus other rewards not listed here.

Your crew and ships

The guide describes 22 First Mates, and each one brings their own ship. The mate decides your main attack, your Special (a big hit that charges as you land shots), a choice of two gadgets and an always-on perk. Ships level up from 1 to 16 with cards and banked Gold.

The full list of mates and ships is not shown here while it is being reviewed.

How combat works

Your attack

You carry 3 shots. Each one refills by itself every 1.5 seconds. Aim, time your shots, and keep moving.

Your Special

Landing hits fills your Special bar. When it's full, fire it: about three normal shots' worth of damage, plus its own effect. When your Special is charged, your ship glows so everyone gets fair warning.

Your gadget

A second, smaller skill on its own cooldown: a burst of speed, a dodge, a shield, a heal, hiding or a small hit. Every ship has two gadgets to choose between.

Levels, staying alive and sinking

A higher-level ship should beat a lower one. A gap of 1 or 2 levels is a real edge you can still beat with skill; a gap of 5 is a likely win and 8 is close to certain. In the Shallows, card levels count as 5 at most and fights lean no further than a 3-level gap, so it stays a beginner zone.

  • Repairs start on their own after a few seconds without taking damage.
  • Boost gives a short burst of speed.
  • Wind matters: your angle to the wind changes your speed.
  • Port Haven is safe: no cannon fires inside the Reef Line; just outside, player damage is halved and shore cannons shell attackers.

Sinking can cost carried Gold; the guide describes exceptions. Your wreck spills loot: the captain who sank you gets first grab for 3 seconds, then anyone can take it. Sunk by a far bigger ship? You keep part of your hold. Sinking far smaller ships pays little or nothing. A Most Wanted bounty (25% of what they carry) goes on loaded players.

Making Gold and keeping it

Sail into a gold ring (Bank Buoy) or back to Port Haven to bank everything you carry.

Bosses and the Tidecrown Quest

Nine bosses, easiest to hardest. Each guards a jewel. The easy ones are built to beat alone; the hard ones need a crew of friends. Everyone in the fight who helped gets the whole reward, not a share. Red warning circles show where big attacks will land, and bosses fight in phases and get angrier if the fight drags on.

Fun lore extras

Loading-screen tips

  • Long ago, the Pirate King's Tidecrown kept every storm asleep. Then somebody stole it.
  • Nine jewels, nine keepers. Every boss cove hides one piece of the Tidecrown.
  • Look for glowing story stones. Each one tells a chapter of the Legend.
  • The Broken King's finger still points north. He is not pointing at the snack bar.
  • Port Haven was built around the Pirate King's anchor. That is why it is safe there.
  • The windows of the Drowned City still glow. Dive in and see for yourself!
