This power mine

Elites from all the guild had arrived. In Teams of five players around thirty with second tier gear showed up. These were not from the compendium, though the cost was considered and fifty players had received special set equipment.

The cost had robbed Blackbeard of his only Galleon. A reward he got from one the dungeons on the way to the secret location. This was enough as the Galleon was forth tier ship with a level requirement of two hundred minimum.

Blackbeard as the earner of this reward would have been to use it right away. It was one way the system rewarded the exceptional brave while still giving those on the ordinary path a chance.
