Revision 4

The Smugglers of Port Royal Flag is a ship cosmetic in Windrose used to mark a vessel as flying the Smugglers' colours. Applied at a Wharf to customize a ship's flagstaff.

In-Game Description

Wealth or death, what will outweigh the other?

How to Apply

Sail to a player-built Wharf and dock the ship there. Approach the Wharf, open the Manage Ship menu, switch to the Customization tab, and select Smugglers of Port Royal Flag from the Flag option list. Customisation itself does not cost coin once the design is unlocked.

Where to Find

Sold by the Smugglers of Port Royal through their faction's matching Style Book on the flag designs page. Improving reputation with the faction by turning in Insignias or Letters of Favor unlocks higher tier merchant stock at the Provisioner.

Properties

Historical Note

The faction takes its name from Port Royal, the Jamaican harbour town that in the late seventeenth century was infamously called the wickedest city on earth for its role as a haven for buccaneers, smugglers, and prize merchants. Much of historical Port Royal sank into the sea after the 1692 earthquake, and the in-game faction is built around what survived of that reputation.

Tips

• Flag changes are visible to other players in PvE and PvP, so the design you fly is also a signal of which faction you currently care about.

• Designs are bound to the character that read the matching Style Book, not to a specific ship, so all of a character's owned ships can use any unlocked flag.

• A flag does not affect ship stats. It is purely cosmetic, so swap it freely without worrying about a damage or speed penalty.
