Re:AOPG Crew Join and Max Guide
How to join a top crew, how to create your own, and how to max the crew buff ladder to 2x damage.
The crew system is one of the deepest social and economic systems in Re:AOPG. Every crew has a Beli/XP buff ladder, a member cap, a crew bank, and a Crew Wars weekend event. Crew buffs multiply every Beli/h, Gem/h, Bounty/h, and raid drop rate in the game — at max crew buff (level 11), every route is doubled. This page walks through how to join a crew, how to create one, how to max the crew buff ladder, and how to run Crew Wars. The full crew economy is on the Crew upgrades page and the Trading values page.
Most players join a crew within their first hour of Re:AOPG because crew buffs multiply every progression system in the game. The recommended path for new players is to join the highest-level crew that will accept them, contribute to the crew bank, and use the buff ladder to fast-track Sea 3 entry. The full crew setup is below.
How to Join a Crew
To join a crew:
- Open the Crew menu (default key: K).
- Click “Browse Crews”.
- Filter by Sea (most players filter by their current Sea).
- Pick a crew with high buff level + active members.
- Click “Apply” and wait for an invite.
Most top crews have an application process — they ask for level 100+, a clearing record, or a friend invite. If you’re a new player, look for “Open Recruitment” crews that accept any level 50+ player.
Top Public Crews
The biggest public crews in Re:AOPG:
| Crew | Members | Buff Level | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boss Crew (official) | 6,000+ | 11 | Mixed PvP / PvE |
| Straw Hat Alliance | 4,500+ | 11 | Multiverse Sea endgame |
| Re:AOPG Official | 8,000+ | 11 | All-content |
| Phantom Pirates | 3,200+ | 11 | PvP-focused |
| Marineford Veterans | 2,800+ | 10 | PvE-focused |
These are the most active public crews. Most accept level 50+ players.
How to Create a Crew
To create a crew:
- Reach level 30+.
- Have 1,000,000 Beli (creation cost).
- Open the Crew menu (K).
- Click “Create Crew”.
- Set crew name, crew tag (3-5 chars), crew color, and crew motto.
- Invite your first 5 members.
Crew creation is recommended for players who want to run their own social group, not for players chasing max buffs. Max-buff crews take 6+ months and 200T+ Beli to upgrade.
Crew Buff Ladder
Every crew has a buff ladder. The buff ladder is paid in Beli by the crew bank:
| Buff Level | Beli Cost | Cumulative Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 0 | 0 | 1.0× (no buff) |
| Level 2 | 500K | 500K | 1.05× Beli / XP |
| Level 3 | 1M | 1.5M | 1.10× Beli / XP |
| Level 4 | 5M | 6.5M | 1.15× Beli / XP |
| Level 5 | 25M | 31.5M | 1.25× Beli / XP |
| Level 6 | 50M | 81.5M | 1.35× Beli / XP |
| Level 7 | 100M | 181.5M | 1.45× Beli / XP |
| Level 8 | 250M | 431.5M | 1.55× Beli / XP |
| Level 9 | 500M | 931.5M | 1.70× Beli / XP |
| Level 10 | 1B | 1.93B | 1.85× Beli / XP |
| Level 11 | 5B | 6.93B | 2.0× Beli / XP |
Max crew buff doubles every route. The fastest routes:
- Revolutionary Base — 240B × 2 = 480B Beli/h at max buff.
- Udon Prison — 187B × 2 = 374B Beli/h.
- Mihawk raid — drops × 2 at max crew buff.
Member Cap Ladder
The member cap ladder is paid in Beli:
| Level | Members | Cost | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 50 | 100M | 100M |
| 3 | 75 | 500M | 600M |
| 4 | 100 | 1B | 1.6B |
| 5 | 125 | 5B | 6.6B |
Max crew member cap (125) is required for top Crew Wars crews.
Crew Bank
Every crew has a shared bank that holds Beli, Gems, and rare items. Members can:
- Deposit Beli / Gems / items to the crew bank.
- Withdraw Beli / Gems at a 5% tax (paid in Beli).
- Use rare items from the crew bank for crew activities.
The crew bank funds the buff ladder. Active crews deposit 5-10% of their Beli/h yield to the bank to keep the buff ladder climbing.
Crew Wars Weekend
Crew Wars runs every Saturday-Sunday. The rules:
- Crews of level 8+ buff can register.
- Top 16 crews in each region earn rewards.
- Each Crew War victory = 2,500 bounty, 25,000 Berry, 100 Awakening Stones.
- Top 1 crew = Crew Wars Champion title + 100 Mythical-tier stones.
The recommended Crew Wars ladder for top crews is on the PvP tier list.
Crew Ranks
Every crew has 4 ranks:
| Rank | Permissions | Typical Role |
|---|---|---|
| Captain | All | Crew leader |
| Vice Captain | All except kick Captain | Lieutenant |
| Officer | Invite, kick, manage bank | Trusted member |
| Member | Deposit, withdraw, participate | Standard member |
Most crews have 1 Captain, 1-3 Vice Captains, 5-10 Officers, and the rest Members.
How to Pick the Right Crew
When picking a crew, prioritize:
- Buff level — level 8+ for serious grinders.
- Member activity — look for crews with 50+ active members.
- Time zone — pick a crew whose peak hours match yours.
- Content focus — PvP-focused crews vs PvE-focused crews vs mixed.
- Crew bank health — active crews deposit 10%+ of yield to the bank.
Recommended Crew Progression
For new players:
- First hour: Join the highest-level public crew that accepts you. Use the buff to fast-track Sea 1.
- First week: Reach level 100. Apply to a top crew if your current one is below level 8 buff.
- First month: Reach level 300. Apply to a Sea 3 focused crew.
- Sea 3 entry: Join a Multiverse Sea focused crew for endgame progression.
- Endgame: Top crews for Crew Wars + V4 race + Mythical Awakening chain.
Common Crew Mistakes
- Joining an inactive crew — check the buff level + member count before joining.
- Not depositing to the bank — without deposits, the buff ladder stops climbing.
- Skipping Crew Wars — top crews kick members who skip Crew Wars.
- Picking the wrong time zone — peak hours matter for raid coordination.
- Not using crew buffs — every minute at full buff is double Beli/XP.
Crew Chat Etiquette
Top crews have chat rules:
- No spam — limit chat to raid calls and crew questions.
- Help new members — answer questions from new members.
- Coordinate raid times — set raid schedules in crew chat.
- Share drops — if you win a rare item, share with the crew.
