TGIF! Pirate Clan Updates for November 1, 2024
Happy Friday, players!
Next week the Kano team is gathering together and meeting as a whole. One of the major areas of attention will be the recent economy changes, how that has impacted the game, the player feedback we've gotten so far and most importantly what will come next. We've gotten excellent feedback and had insightful conversations with players in the community over the last few weeks, so please continue to share your thoughts with us.
Which leads us to a topic we want to hear from you about - Raid campers. What defines a camper to you and why is it a problem? How would you like to see this fixed while not creating an unfair situation for those that do participate and try. This is something that has been mentioned a lot over the years, so please join us for our Discord Stream on Fridays to chat about it or send in a ticket to support@kanoapps.com.
Now with that said, let's jump into the news of the week!
In-Game Updates:
The hooves of a great stallion beat loudly against the ground every night at midnight. Villagers extinguish their flames, hide away and pray. Hoping that the danger will pass without a loved one being taken. That’s because the Headless Horsemen Raid Boss rides again! Prepare yourselves for a great battle Pirates because that is your loot in those villages and no man, women or ghostly specter will take that from you. Defeating this enemy will earn you an item drop and tons of XP, but be warned for there is something else going on during this event…
Raid Fusion has returned! In this event taking actions against the Headless Horsemen Raid Boss will earn you Components which can then be taken to the Fusion workshop and combined with the regular Raid drops to create more powerful items. Work your way through to create the most powerful Mythic items. Plus there is an event leaderboard that will give out even more rewards based on your progress. You can get more info on how it all works here - https://support.kanoplay.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/607-raid-fusion/
While we've heard the requests and read the tickets asking for the return of the Piggy Bank, it was said not until pigs can fly. Well good news cause this little piggy can grow wings!
The Piggy Bank is BACK!
Available until Monday November 4th @ 12PM PST. While the Piggy Bank is active a portion of your Favor Points spent will be saved. Once you've saved up to the limit, break it open and collect that free FP! There is more info here in our FAQ - https://support.kanoplay.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/529-piggy-bank/
Happy Halloween to all! We hope the spooky season has been great to you and to top it off we’re bringing the Halloween Sale to Pirate Clan! Running until Saturday November 2nd @ 9AM PDT. Don’t miss out on the brand new Halloween item sets with Favor Points. The Baleful Blunderbuss is a powerful attack heavy weapon that just might give you the edge in the battles to come.
Next week, starting on Monday November 4th is Blitz Week! There will be an increase in Blitz events running, so keep your eyes peeled and get that bonus XP!
Lastly, a reminder that twice a week there are new item drops in-game. Limited Time items on Tuesdays and Limited Quantity on Fridays. Keep an eye out for anything that catches your interest!
Tip of the Week: Check out the “Ship Doctor” in the Battle settings in-game. Turning this on will trigger automatic healing when doing an Adventure or Fight when injured. Don’t worry this only triggers when you do an in-game action and not when you’re hurt by others.
Coming soon!
- New Battle Pass Season - Wednesday November 6th @ 9AM PST
- New Legendary Crates - Friday November 8th @ 9AM PST
- Armada Wars Event - Friday November 8th @ 4PM PST
- Armada Quests Event - Thursday November 14th @ 9AM PST

We recently released a new method for players to acquire Favor Points through a system called Rev U. By completing tasks such as making progress in a game or by filling out a survey, players can start earning extra FP for their account! You can access it from the Godfather page and our FAQ post here has all the details you’ll need - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/788-what-is-rev-u-and-how-does-it-work/
For our Mobile App players, we now have a new option for purchasing Favor Points, the Xsolla Webstore! Not only does it support more payment methods than what was previously available, but you’ll also have access to exclusive larger bundles of FP!

- Switch between devices or logging onto other Kano hosted sites
