Seamarks
Seamarks are Bucketry’s skills. There are nine of them, each tied to a kind of work you already do: fishing, mining, digging, farming, chopping, brewing, enchanting, fighting and travelling. Do the work, earn XP in that mark, and every milestone gives you a perk that makes the work better.
Seamarks replaced the old skills plugin on September 30, 2026. Your old levels carried over one to one. The old combat stats (health, strength, crit) did not: on Bucketry your fighting power now comes from gear, and Seamarks give work perks instead.
Commands
Section titled “Commands”| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/seamarks (also /skills, /marks) | Open your Seamarks: levels, XP bars, perks and what each level unlocks |
/seamarks procs | Turn the perk popups on or off for yourself |
When a perk fires you get a short action bar popup. Loot perks (double drops, extra finds) also play a soft chime with a few particles. Wear perks like Sturdy Pick show quietly, at most once every 20 seconds.
The nine marks
Section titled “The nine marks”| Mark | You earn XP by | Job bonus (+15% XP) |
|---|---|---|
| Angling | Catching fish (rare catches and treasure pay most) | Fisher |
| Delving | Mining natural stone and ore | Miner |
| Beachcombing | Digging natural dirt, sand, gravel, clay and mud | Digger |
| Husbandry | Harvesting mature crops, melons, pumpkins, cane, cactus and more | Farmer, Beastmaster |
| Shipwright | Chopping natural logs, and salvaging gear at the Breaker’s Yard | Lumberjack |
| Brewing | Brewing potions (splash and lingering pay most) | Brewer |
| Runecraft | Enchanting at the table and working at the anvil | Enchanter |
| Boarding | Killing mobs, and surviving hits from them | Hunter |
| Wayfaring | Walking, swimming, sailing, riding and gliding | Explorer |
Holding the matching job gives you +15% XP in that mark, on top of any rank or booster bonus.
A few rules keep XP fair:
- Blocks you placed yourself give no XP. Crops are the exception: any mature crop counts.
- Mobs from spawners give 20% of their normal XP.
- Tougher mobs (bosses, elites, Mythic mobs) give more Boarding XP, scaled by their health, up to 20 times a normal mob.
- Boarding also pays a little for damage you take from mobs and survive (capped each minute).
- Event worlds like the Motherlode and Blueprint Rush give no Seamark XP.
Other ways to earn XP
Section titled “Other ways to earn XP”- Salvage: every piece you break down at
/salvagepays Shipwright XP (netherite 60, diamond 30, enchanted books 20, iron and chainmail 12, most else less). - The Almanac: filling in pages pays Wayfaring, Boarding, Delving or Brewing XP. See the Almanac.
- Seamark Tomes: tome items from crates and rewards give XP in a mark.
- Ranks: higher ranks boost Seamark XP. Bucketlord earns double.

What levels unlock
Section titled “What levels unlock”Some content checks your Seamark level before it lets you in.
| Level | Unlock |
|---|---|
| Delving 10 | Harvest Starsteel from Starfall ore. Below this, it crumbles to Stardust (you still get full event credit). |
| Delving 20 | Harvest Voidglass from Starfall ore. |

| Shipwright 22 | Upgrade Barnacle Plate to Tidesteel. |

Each milestone (10, 25, 40, 60) in every mark also:
- Completes a guild milestone quest for that mark. These start on their own in your guild’s quest category and pay a bounty, coins, guild keys and enchant books.
- Adds bonus land claim chunks to your limit. Wayfaring 40 also gives you one extra land.
Reaching 40 or 60 in any mark is announced to the whole server.
Levelling curve
Section titled “Levelling curve”The cap is level 60. Each level costs more than the last, and levels 51 to 60 are extra steep.

The Old Salt refund
Section titled “The Old Salt refund”Players who had real combat stats under the old skills plugin got a one-time Old Salt refund when Seamarks launched, paid on their next login. Depending on how much power they lost, it included an
