The Bucketlord Climb
Bucketry’s rank ladder runs from Drifter all the way to Bucketlord. The early ranks come quickly and are covered on Ranks. This page is about the top of the ladder: the climb from Tidecaller to Bucketlord, which is meant to take most of a season.
Track it with /climb
Section titled “Track it with /climb”Type /climb (or /bucketlord) to open The Climb to Bucketlord. It shows:
- The six top ranks in order, with a tick on the ones you hold and an arrow on your next one.
- A progress bar for every requirement of your next rank: money, total job levels, Seamark power, XP level and quests completed. Each bar turns green when you are done.
- The Hall of Firsts: the first player this season to reach each rank.
When everything is green, type /rankup.
