Pirates of the Burning Sea Exchange Shop Devlog

The latest Pirates of the Burning Sea devlog from Flying Lab covers the replacement of Delivery Missions with much more friendly and useful Exchange Shops. Isildur, the author, has been working on the Commendation exchange, the Marks of Victory exchange, and the Citations of Conquest exchange which he explains in detail.

Types of commendations are being slashed form 10 to 5. Players will have opportunity to exchange types that will no longer be used in the game with valid commendations. One of the biggest changes in commendations is the nerfing of Heroism and trading awards for free ships.

Players will now be able to trade Marks of Victory for faction points. You’ll also be able trade for explosive round shot and smelling salts or pony up a nice thick stack of Marks to purchase a lineship structure item. Some of the more common recipe books will now be purchasable.

The Citation system is receiving similar tweaks:

Citations of Conquest received an update similar to that of the Marks exchange. I’ve added many of the more rare books to the Citation exchange (although, as I mentioned, the rarest of the books are still loot-only). If the item you really want is a Mark exchange, I’ve also added the ability to convert your Citations of Conquest into Marks of Victory.

Get the full details on all the changes as well as some intel on changes in store for patch 1.4 on Pirates of the Burning Sea.
