Experience
From YPPedia
Experience is the measure of time a pirate has put into a certain puzzle. For duty puzzles, experience is based off of the amount of time spent playing. For parlor games and crafting puzzles, experience is based off of the number of games played. Each pirate's experience is recorded and shown on that pirate's info page, as well as being listed on the ultimate list. In addition to tracking puzzle experience, players are ranked on puzzle skill, which is displayed side-by-side with experience on the ultimate list. If a Challenge to a game of Swordfighting, Drinking, Rumble, or Treasure Drop is not rated then it will not count toward your Experience.
Each level of experience takes longer to achieve than the previous. The amount needed to reach the next level is not revealed to players.
In keeping with the Ringers' philosophy of avoiding the display of numbers in the game, each level of experience is given a descriptive word. From low to high, they are:
- Novice
- Neophyte
- Apprentice
- Narrow
- Broad
- Solid
- Weighty
- Expert
- Paragon
- Illustrious
- Sublime
