The Pirate Nation leaderboard is more than just a ranking system—it’s where players can earn significant rewards by competing for Booty Points. The more points you earn, the higher you climb, with rewards distributed at the end of each season.
What do you get for being at the top? The leaderboard rewards you with Pirate Nation Tokens (PIRATE), which can be used for in-game purchases or sold for real money. While the exact conversion from points to tokens isn’t publicly known, reaching the top means larger rewards.
