How to Join, Create and Max Out a Crew in Re:AOPG

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:

  1. Open the Crew menu (default key: K).
  2. Click “Browse Crews”.
  3. Filter by Sea (most players filter by their current Sea).
  4. Pick a crew with high buff level + active members.
  5. 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:

CrewMembersBuff LevelFocus
Boss Crew (official)6,000+11Mixed PvP / PvE
Straw Hat Alliance4,500+11Multiverse Sea endgame
Re:AOPG Official8,000+11All-content
Phantom Pirates3,200+11PvP-focused
Marineford Veterans2,800+10PvE-focused

These are the most active public crews. Most accept level 50+ players.

How to Create a Crew

To create a crew:

  1. Reach level 30+.
  2. Have 1,000,000 Beli (creation cost).
  3. Open the Crew menu (K).
  4. Click “Create Crew”.
  5. Set crew name, crew tag (3-5 chars), crew color, and crew motto.
  6. 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 LevelBeli CostCumulative CostEffect
Level 1001.0× (no buff)
Level 2500K500K1.05× Beli / XP
Level 31M1.5M1.10× Beli / XP
Level 45M6.5M1.15× Beli / XP
Level 525M31.5M1.25× Beli / XP
Level 650M81.5M1.35× Beli / XP
Level 7100M181.5M1.45× Beli / XP

Level 9500M931.5M1.70× Beli / XP
Level 101B1.93B1.85× Beli / XP
Level 115B6.93B2.0× Beli / XP

Max crew buff doubles every route. The fastest routes:

Member Cap Ladder

The member cap ladder is paid in Beli:

13000
250100M100M
375500M600M
41001B1.6B
51255B6.6B

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:

RankPermissionsTypical Role
CaptainAllCrew leader
Vice CaptainAll except kick CaptainLieutenant
OfficerInvite, kick, manage bankTrusted member
MemberDeposit, withdraw, participateStandard 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:

  1. Buff level — level 8+ for serious grinders.
  2. Member activity — look for crews with 50+ active members.
  3. Time zone — pick a crew whose peak hours match yours.
  4. Content focus — PvP-focused crews vs PvE-focused crews vs mixed.
  5. Crew bank health — active crews deposit 10%+ of yield to the bank.

For new players:

  1. First hour: Join the highest-level public crew that accepts you. Use the buff to fast-track Sea 1.
  2. First week: Reach level 100. Apply to a top crew if your current one is below level 8 buff.
  3. First month: Reach level 300. Apply to a Sea 3 focused crew.
  4. Sea 3 entry: Join a Multiverse Sea focused crew for endgame progression.
  5. Endgame: Top crews for Crew Wars + V4 race + Mythical Awakening chain.

Common Crew Mistakes

  1. Joining an inactive crew — check the buff level + member count before joining.
  2. Not depositing to the bank — without deposits, the buff ladder stops climbing.
  3. Skipping Crew Wars — top crews kick members who skip Crew Wars.
  4. Picking the wrong time zone — peak hours matter for raid coordination.
  5. 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.
