Titles/Loyalty rewards: Chapter 3

Every fighting day of a Dark Tides event a player has attended will count as a single Dark Tides “Credit” (Friday and Saturday of Thursday-Sunday events. Or a Day event). For every 10 Dark Tides credits a player has earned, they may choose one Title/Loyalty perk from below. Players may also, at any time during a non-field battle event, approach the Banker (an NPC!) and deliver 100 Dark Tides coins. This will purchase you an additional Dark Tides credit. Players may also turn in coins on Sunday morning before leaving the site, if the Banker is available.

Sea Dog
If a player with the Sea Dog perk is in a boat, that boat’s occupants may run instead of walk.

Boatswain
Requires the Sea Dog perk. A boat with a Boatswain may fire/throw ranged weapons over the edge of that boat. The boat must stop moving before the occupants may fire/throw any ranged weapons.

Captain
Requires the Boatswain perk. This player may bring their own boat to any Dark Tides event; this boat must be approved by event staff at weapons check. A Captain's boat must be marked in a manner which easily denotes its status, such as strips of colored cloth or rope tied to the side (with regards to safety). This boat may be used in any battle involving boats and with approval, other scenarios with water. This boat is in addition to any boats involved in the scenario. These boats count as Dagorhir gear and must be returned to their owner if it is requested. Any boat a Captain occupies survives being struck with three torches; a Captain's boat must be struck with four torches to be sunk.

Scout
Advance Deployment as determined by heralds. (Ex:In this scenario, Bob the Scout, gets to begin the game 20 feet closer to the opposing team.)

Ranger
Requires Scout. When the herald is counting down from 10 before lay on, Rangers may begin moving when the count gets to 'three.' Rangers must note this to the Heralds before the battle begins, and Heralds will announce before the countdown is started.

Rangers may ask Heralds or NPCs general questions about monsters or terrains that will be featured in questing scenarios; other players are free to ask general questions as well, but NPCs and Heralds may be more likely to answer a Ranger's tracking/hunting/scouting questions. This should be done in regards to how your character (a ranger) would prepare to face a challenge, and care should be taken to avoid deliberate metagaming. Questions should be general, and Heralds/NPCs are under no obligation to answer these questions if it would negatively impact the game.

EXAMPLE: Dave the Ranger learns from NPCs that monsters are nearby, and his group is tasked with killing them. Dave can ask the Herald something like "Would I know anything about these monsters or their habitat?" The herald may answer with "You see wolf-like tracks, and they lead into an area overgrown with thorns and brambles." or "There appear to be small, humanoid tracks leading to an old fort by the nearby river." Dave should not ask questions like ''"Hey, how many monsters are there?" / "What are their special powers?" / "Who's playing the NPCs?"''
