22 Naval Tactics II: No Quarter is one of five Naval Tactics combat orders you can equip in a ship's tactics slot. A privateer adaptation of Spanish Armada naval practice, favoring close action and decisive endings. The margin notes that ships sent down swiftly spare one's crew the cost of prolonged prize-taking fights.

1515 Every ship class accepts Naval Tactics, and this tactic specifically fits all nine Brig, Frigate, and Ketch hull variants in the game, so the choice of tactic never restricts which hull you can equip it on.

1919 How to Acquire
2020  
2121 Buy Naval Tactics II: No Quarter from the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner at Level 3 reputation with the Smugglers of Port Royal faction. The purchase costs Piastre x500 per copy, and a single copy unlocks the tactic permanently for that character.
2222  
2323 Reaching Smuggler reputation Level 3 typically goes through the Smugglers of Port Royal faction quest chain and ongoing Bounty Agent turn-ins. See the Faction Reputation article for the full reputation-per-activity breakdown. Each of the five Naval Tactics carries the same Level 3 requirement and the same 500 Piastre price, so order of purchase is a budgeting and playstyle question rather than a progression gate.

2525 When to Use
2626  
2727 No Quarter rewards close-range aggression and chaining enemy hulls together. Best on Brigs and Frigates that can finish targets inside the 50-meter window, since the 30% hull heal over 10 seconds refills enough to sustain multi-ship engagements. Not useful against single targets you plan to kite from long range.
2828  
2929 Compared with the other four orders, No Quarter is the sustain pick for aggressive fleet fights. Where Naval Tactics IV: Shipshape heals slowly out of combat and Naval Tactics III: Stretch the Supply leans on repair time and Grog buffs, No Quarter pays you back only when you actually sink a ship up close, so it shines when you are clearing a group rather than dueling one target.

3333 All five Naval Tactics share the same cost (500 Piastre at Level 3 reputation) and fit every hull, so the choice is purely about playstyle. The effects:

3535 TacticEffectNaval Tactics I: AmbushAfter dealing and taking no damage for 2 minutes, the next volley deals 130% increased damage; the charge drops the moment you are hit.Naval Tactics II: No QuarterDestroying an enemy ship within 50 meters restores 30% Ship Health over 10 seconds.Naval Tactics III: Stretch the SupplyImproves repair time and Grog buffs for steadier sustained pressure.Naval Tactics IV: ShipshapeWhile out of combat, restores 3% Ship Health every 3 seconds.Naval Tactics V: Silence the GunsApplies a broken-rhythm effect to the enemy ship, cutting its reload speed and damage by 20%.
3636 No Quarter and Shipshape are the two healing orders: No Quarter delivers a large burst tied to kills, while Shipshape ticks slowly between fights. If you rarely close to 50 meters, one of the other four will serve you better.

3838 Equipping and Swapping
3939  
4040 Combat orders slot into a dedicated ship Naval Tactics slot at the Wharf. Only one tactic is active at a time, so swapping tactics requires docking and entering the Wharf equipment screen. Tactics stay equipped across logouts, zone transitions, and death; you do not have to re-slot them after each session.
