Scurvy

Scurvy is a debuff that can affect your crew members. There are three stages of the condition. At Rank 1, it is harmless. At Rank 2, the disease causes a temporary stat loss&mdash;these stats are regained upon reducing the disease back to Rank 1 or removing the debuff entirely. At Rank 3, the disease can lead to death of your crew member by bleeding.

Scurvy is a real-life disease that has historically affected many pirates, caused by a deficiency in vitamin C.

How does the disease spread?
Scurvy is caused when a pirate hasn't recently eaten food with Vitamins.
