corrected piece list (Hat/Jacket) and upgrade chain to Rough Hide -> Tanned Leather -> Crocodile Hide Piece (2026-04-19)
Flibustier Set is the one-handed weapon specialist armor. It lowers attack stamina cost at 2-piece and boosts one-handed damage at 4-piece, making it the optimal set for Saber, Rapier, Club, and Pistol builds.
2-piece: Attacks consume 20% less Stamina. This is the largest flat stamina efficiency buff in the game and effectively extends every combo by one or two additional swings.
4-piece: +15% damage with one-handed weapons. Stacks multiplicatively on top of your Precision/Agility/Strength scaling.
Five slots (Hat, Jacket, Pants, Gloves, Boots). Flibustier is a leather set and upgrades with tanned hides from the Tanning Rig. Common upgrade material progression:
Lower tiers: Rough Hide.
Mid tiers: Tanned Leather.
Late tiers: Crocodile Hide Piece produced from Cursed Swamps crocodiles.
One-handed melee players — Saber, Rapier, and Club users see the largest direct gain from the 4-piece.
Pistol-focused Precision builds — pistols count as one-handed for the 4-piece bonus.
Stamina-hungry playstyles — the 2-piece alone is often worth pairing with a non-matching set piece for builds that spam heavy attacks.
Marathon Runner talent stacks stamina efficiency with the 2-piece bonus.
Endurance allocation for a larger stamina pool.
Coffee Epic dish for +20 Endurance.
Flibustier pieces are the classic swashbuckler look. The profile is lean: a wide-brim feathered hat, an open jacket cut short enough to clear a rapier draw, loose sash-belted pants, and soft leather boots. Upgrade tiers darken the palette from rough brown hide at the base level into blacker leathers with silk accents at the Tanned Leather and Crocodile Hide tiers, all without adding visible plating. The set is deliberately designed to look fast, which reinforces its mechanical identity as a one-handed pressure loadout that trades protection for combo sustain.
Pistols count as one-handed weapons for the Flibustier 4-piece bonus, which is the reason this set consistently beats the Marksman Set for any build that mixes a pistol with a one-handed melee weapon. Marksman's 4-piece adds +15% damage to ranged weapons only; Flibustier's 4-piece adds the same +15% to every one-handed weapon in the loadout, which in a pistol-plus-saber kit covers both the pistol and the melee weapon. Flibustier therefore pays out on every hit, while Marksman pays out only on the ranged portion of the loadout.
Stamina cost matters more than most players expect. The 2-piece attack stamina reduction of 20% turns directly into more uptime in melee combat. A rapier combo that normally runs out of stamina after five swings now lands six or seven. For a pistol-plus-cutlass loadout, that extra swing means more Take Aim stacks before the Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol shot, which compounds into more damage on the pistol shot itself.
Best companion weapons. The clearest top-tier Flibustier loadout pairs the Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol with either the Cutlass for burst combos (Take Aim stacks then double-tap Vulnerability shots) or the Rapier of a Thousand Cuts for the self-healing bleed loop. Both paths scale off shared stat investments thanks to Flibustier's agnostic one-handed bonus.
