0 YPP Tip of the Day - What the Booty Really Means

Cubelets' Crew Cut is set to 20% Even. But what does that really mean?

On the Noticeboard, we'll sort as 80% Even.

Which means that 80% of the total loot goes to the jobbers, and 20% of the loot goes to the Naver, provided that there are no losses.

What is the difference between the Hold and the Booty?

In very simple terms, the PoE in the hold will be kept. The PoE in the booty can be lost.

Commodities (items) in both can be lost, but you lose only 10% of the items in the Hold, while 20% of the items in the booty. (More at the bottom)

Scenario:

1. Let's say that we've plundered a total of 11,222 PoE (100%) for that battle from the Brigands.
2. Half of the restocking cut (in this case 10%), will immediately go into the Hold of the ship.
3. The other half of the restocking cut (10%), will immediately go into the Booty.

So now we have 1,111 (10%) in the Hold, and 1,111 (10%) in the Booty.

We are left with:

11,222 - (11,222*0.2) = 9,000 PoE


All that remains is the Jobber cut (80%), it is divided Evenly between all the pirates aboard.

In this case we have 15 pirates aboard, so everyone gets a cut of:

9,000 / 15 = 600 PoE

Since you only get half of your cut immediately after the battle, everyone gets:

600 / 2 = 300 PoE per person after divide

The jobber cut that isn't divided (40%), is put into the booty.

300 *15 = 4,500 PoE

So after this battle, total in Booty should be:

1,111 + 4,500 = 5,611 PoE

Or exactly 50% of the total booty plundered.

That was way too tl;dr

These percentages only apply to 80% Even division.
10% of total received booty -> Hold
40% / no. of jobbers aboard -> what each jobber gets initially
50% of total received booty -> Booty



How much stuff do we lose if we lose a battle?

The Brigands take 10% of the items in the Hold (but not the PoE), and 20% of the PoE amount in the Booty as well as 20% of the items.

25% if the battle was PvP.

Here is Galene's Post for reference on the subject matter.

And then because I was writing this, I decided to send in a petition for some clarification.

In time, I will maybe do some more googling and experimenting to see exactly how JD affects the division.
