TGIF! Pirate Clan Updates for September 5, 2025
Happy Friday, players!
And welcome to September! We’ve got your weekly news with the TGIF and check out the “coming soon” section for the full breakdown about what is coming over the next two weeks. Now let’s jump into the news of the week!
In-Game Updates:
From the shadowed bends of the river, sails rise under the light of the moon — the dreaded Saskatchewan River Pirates Raid Boss have returned. Feared smugglers and ruthless raiders, these outlaws haunt the waterways, striking with cutlass and cannon before vanishing into the night. Raise the sails and gather your crew for the battle to come. Stay sharp, because there is something else going on during this Raid event…
The Raid Vault Breaker Event has returned! For every 1000 actions (attacks/heals) completed against the Saskatchewan River Pirates Raid Boss you will unlock 1 of 5 random crew members. You can then use those unlocked crew members to break open vaults for valuable rewards! There is also an event leaderboard running where you’ll earn even more bonus rewards based on your placement. Check out our FAQ for all the details - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/791-vault-breaker/
As summer comes to an end, it’s time to look ahead and prepare for September. Well you’re in luck because there’s no better way then with the Back to School Sale! Check out the brand new items set and Favor Point bundles that are available right now in-game. Act fast because this promotion will only be around until Saturday September 6th @ 9AM PDT.
Players, we are looking for feedback on Armada Wars! Please check out our survey here and let us know your wants - https://tinyurl.com/2f4psct9
Lastly, a reminder that twice a week there are new item drops in-game. Limited Time items on Tuesdays and Limited Quantity on Fridays. Keep an eye out for anything that catches your interest!

We recently released a new method for players to acquire Favor Points through a system called Rev U. By completing tasks such as making progress in a game or by filling out a survey, players can start earning extra FP for their account! You can access it from the Godfather page and our FAQ post here has all the details you’ll need - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/788-what-is-rev-u-and-how-does-it-work/
For our Mobile App players, we now have a new option for purchasing Favor Points, the Xsolla Webstore! Not only does it support more payment methods than what was previously available, but you’ll also have access to exclusive larger bundles of FP! You can find more info in our FAQ post along with the link - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/781-xsolla-webstore/
A reminder to our players about completing the Kano ID account upgrade. Eligible players (Facebook/Server 1 players) will see the banner on their homepage in-game near the top and it should only take a couple minutes. There are wonderful benefits to doing so:
- 25 FP bonus for signing up
- Secure your account (protection against potential loss of your Facebook or Mobile credentials)
- Switch between devices or logging onto other Kano hosted sites
- Specials offers on Kanoplay
You can read more details here in our FAQ - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/709-how-do-i-upgrade-to-a-kano-id/

Why did the banana go out with the prune?
