[h3]New Shallow Fleets[/h3][p]Added new Dutch Fleets patrolling the Shallow Waters southwest of Shroud Cay (Nassau Patrol area).[/p][p]These fleets do not attack players (unlike the patrolling NPCs on Trincomalee ships).[/p][p]It is impossible to join a battle on the side of the Fleet, and the same applies to initial pulling into the battle — this prevents players from disrupting others’ engagements.[/p][p]Each Shallow Fleet consists of 15 NPC ships: La Renommée and Cerberus.[/p][p]Sinking these ships provides a chance to loot rare offensive items with an increased drop rate.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Resource Distribution[/h3][p]Resource distribution for most ports remains unchanged compared to the Live Servers, with the following exceptions:[/p]

• [p]Uncapturable shallow ports in the safe zone (Bahamas): Additional resources and ammunition have been added to make the new player experience easier.[/p]
• [p]Free ports: Now offer crafting resources (excluding rare woods).[/p]
• [p]No ports have had any resources removed compared to the Live Servers.[/p]

[p]Important:
Due to the introduction of new contract rights for port owners, the following adjustments have been made:[/p]

• [p]Uncapturable shallow ports in the safe zone and free ports now have significantly increased supplies of resources required for shipbuilding and consumables.[/p]
• [p]This ensures that resources are not completely denied to players even if port owners restrict contract rights to their clan only.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Other Changes[/h3]

• [p]Updated Patrol Rewards[/p]
• [p]Open-World Warships now drop more doubloons[/p]
• [p]Updated Requirements for Port Fortifications and Port Visual Style Changes[/p]
• [p]Lowered sail and mast hitpoints[/p]
• [p]Improved NPC decision-making when switching broadsides[/p]
• [p]Round shot and double charge now retain full damage up to 1,000 meters, after which their effectiveness gradually decreases out to 3,000 meters[/p]

[p]Captains, [/p][p][/p][p]We plan to deploy the update to the Live Serves on Tuesday, October 14. [/p][p][/p][p]Tomorrow, October 10, the final update will be released on the Test Server. [/p][p][/p][p]Captains who have claimed or will claim a spot on the Daily Leaderboard on the Test Server before October 14 will receive a golden 5/5 Rangoon Teak / Rangoon Teak Santísima Trinidad on the Live Server on October 15. [/p][p][/p][p]The Daily Leaderboard is based on received battle experience from PvP and PvE activities.[/p]
