Captains,

We are aware of the bugs affecting contracts, and fixing them is currently our top priority, along with issues related to crew disappearing when switching from a ship with a larger crew to a smaller one.

Until the contract bugs are resolved, please avoid setting up new contracts or claiming existing ones.

Captains, following items are issued in the Redeemable for all players:

• Gunpowder: 70,000 (found in the Gifts & Rewards tab)
  
• Ball Ammo: 5,000 (found in the Gifts & Rewards tab)
  
• Doubloons: 30,000 (found in the Gifts & Rewards tab)
  
• Experience: Amount required to reach the Commodore rank (found in the Reals & XP Grant tab)
  

Items are placed in the Reward Chest upon claim
[h3]Other changes[/h3]

• The minimal possible damage during boarding actions has been increased
  
• Medicinal bark now spawns across various regions
  
• Rewards for patrol missions have been increased
  
• Armor HP Bonuses related to wood, modules, and books have been adjusted
  
• Guns now consume less gunpowder; for example, a 42-pounder gun now requires only 8 units of gunpowder
  
• Recipes for gunpowder and medicine have been reworked to improve logistics, addressing previous issues where required materials and raw resources occupied significant hold space
