Reputation[]
The reputation earned by defeating a Fairfax Pirate is divided up among the following factions:
Trophy & Bounty[]
Fairfax Pirates do not have a bounty mission or a trophy ship. However, they do award several rare items and titles as discussed below. They also frequently drop Prisoner: Rogue Scientist who can be turned in to Delilah Purcell at the British Royal Society in Port Royal or to Zoey Franche at the Académie Nationale in Pointe-à-Pitre.
Economic Role[]
There are four elite Fairfax captains who sometimes appear when a player attacks a group of two or three pirates greater then level thirty-five. These captains are:
Guido Galilei
- Defeating this captain results in a small chance of Guido Galilei’s Binnacle dropping. He also offers the bounty title "Counter-Copernican" which must be rolled on if there is more than one person in your group.
Captain Heisenberg
- Defeating this captain results in a small chance of Captain Heisenberg’s Steering Mechanism dropping. He also offers the bounty title "Uncertain Principal" (yes, that's how it's spelled) which must be rolled on if there is more than one person in your group.
Geoff Leibniz
- Defeating this captain results in a small chance of Geoff Leibniz's Bilge Pump dropping. He also offers the bounty title "Binary Kommando" which must be rolled on if there is more than one person in your group.
Anders Celsius
- This captain has no notable drops.
Lia Bassi
- This captain has no notable drops
Margret Astell
- This captain drops the title "Ladykiller" which must be rolled on if there is more than one person in your group.
The items dropped by these elites are required in the construction of first and second rate ships. Geoff's drop is currently the most valuable, loot drop in the game. {edit} All Fairfax ship parts ( Pump, Binnacle and Steering Mech can be dropped from treasure chests.
