Puzzle Pirates Puzzle Experience: List of Times/Battles

[Lob]

I've made a list over the times it takes to reach the different experience levels.
Some might find this interesting while others could not care less.

Note that this is still in the works.


General notes about puzzle experience:
- Things that do not end your experience session is things like: Hitting a regular and flotilla LP, pause the puzzle, hitting a break in flotilla.
- Things that do end your experience session is things like: Hitting the end of a route (Island or SMH), leaving the puzzle, disengaging from sea battle, completing the puzzle (crafting).



All the times/battles/hands are found using the fastest possible way. Some differences will accrue when changing poker tables, hitting an LP, porting etc.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.

[Toxic]

If they're all the exact same timings - why don't you just do one table and say it's the same for all puzzles?

Nice guide though!

[Mehfailz x3]

Booching a puzzle doesn't increase the experience though...

[steveaoki]

Booching a puzzle doesn't increase the experience though...

It does. I've tried it before on many puzzles and the exp has gone up.

[doubleuson]

Booching a puzzle doesn't increase the experience though...

Actually, I achieved Sublime experience in Gunnery by leaving my pirate to booch the puzzle on the navy everyday for a few months. Works for Gunning, Sails and Dnav, but not for any other puzzles unless you're a Greenie and achieving Learning at each DR.

[Scarecrow]

Just buy bots, you'll never booch again!

[HouseStepFan]

I think booching increases it more slowly because I remember leaving puzzles on overnight long long ago to increase all my stats to weighty but it took a long time

[Lob]

If they're all the exact same timings - why don't you just do one table and say it's the same for all puzzles?

Nice guide though!

Because I didn't want to just post the times, I wanted to post what increases the exp and what do not and not all puzzles have the same requirements.

Booching a puzzle doesn't increase the experience though...

I assume you mean booching the puzzle board? You can be idle at sailing, patching (after reaching 2nd star level), gunning, dnav,bnav,poker,distilling, SW and Forage. Some of these puzzles will booch itself after a while and you will still gain exp.

Edit to avoid double post:

I think booching increases it more slowly because I remember leaving puzzles on overnight long long ago to increase all my stats to weighty but it took a long time

You did it in the navy I assume? Was it from Novice to Weighty or Solid to Weighty? It was probably because the ship kept porting. I still don't know why it does, but somehow leaving the puzzle (or hitting port) between two experience levels will increse the time. I will add the list when I know more about it

[Ezenemy]

Good thread.

[Lob]

Added crafting puzzles

This would have been so much better with [spoiler][/spoiler]

[SinCara]

What about poker? Im curious =p

[Lob]

What about poker? Im curious =p

atm I am working on SF, rumble and bnav which share the same numbers. I am almost done, I just need to find out how many times you can fight against the same person before experience is no longer gained and for how long this lasts.

I also tested a little about poker today as it is free and I found out that it is based on hands, not time. There also seem to be some kind of penalty for changing tables, but all this I will find out at a later occasion.

[Scarecrow]

You can verse the same person once every 15 minutes for the ratedness to count.

[Lob]

You can verse the same person once every 15 minutes for the ratedness to count.

Thanks, but that seems to be incorrect. At least for experience.

[Scarecrow]

Thanks, but that seems to be incorrect

I just tested it myself and there is most definitely a time limit, might not be 15 minutes, but that's what majority of people on YPP say (and what I've believed for a good 4 years+).
