A crew is a group of pirates that fight, plunder, or sail together. There is strength in numbers and working together, a crew can overcome larger, more numerous enemies, be able to protect and heal one another and share in larger rewards for their efforts and accomplishments.
Crews are fundamental to Pirates of the Caribbean Online, as the game rewards cooperation above all else.
Crewmates also can track each other on the compass. Fellow crewmen appear as pink dots. Crews also have a Chat Space that only those in the crew can see.

Starting A Crew[]
To create a crew, simply click on another pirate, or their name in your friend list. Then, chose the option Crew or the Mug icon on their profile card.
If the pirate is already in another crew, you will not be able to add them until they drop out of it.
Once a crew is started only the Captain, the pirate who started the crew, has the ability to add new mates.
In SvS or PvP, a pirate can choose the Start a Crew option to randomly add pirates looking for crew to join.
For pirates searching for a crew to join or members for their own, there is a Looking for Crew option, which will appear above the pirate's head. You can also activate this by typing in /lfc in the chat box.
New Arrivals[]
In The Legend of Pirates Online, when a new pirate arrives aboard ship who is NOT already in a crew, the captain will receive a POP-UP message.
The message tells them who just boarded and asks if they are to be invited into the ship's crew. A quick YES / NO will decide. This message will disappear after about 30 seconds.
Crew Chat[]
When part of a crew, you can communicate with your crewmates directly. In Chat Box, in the lower-left, click on the Crew tab. Now, any text entered will appear in Light Green and only other crewmates can view it.

Crew Days[]
From The Pirates Online Page:
Did you know that being in a CREW gets you special bonuses? It's true! Whether you're fighting a sea battle or against enemies on land, being part of a crew is smart because you get a reputation bonus and it helps you level up faster. Plus, it's just more fun to fight the Undead with other Pirates. That's why we're bringing back...CREW DAYS!
Every Friday and Saturday evening, we encourage all Pirates to get down to the docks of Port Royal, Tortuga or Padres Del Fuego and CREW UP! If you're not asked, start one yourself! Then go pillage and plunder and watch how quickly you can rack up gold, reputation and other loot.
WHEN: 3:00PM to 8:00PM - Every Friday and Saturday, starting June 25
(All times Pacific Standard times/Los Angeles)
WHERE: Docks of Tortuga, Port Royal and Padres Del Fuego
