Patch 26: Public Parties and Other Improvements

Public Parties

 * Players can now make parties public
 * Public Parties can be joined by clicking on an icon next to the player's name in the chat

Captain Talents

 * The number of items that can be gifted to Captains at once is now capped
 * This is to avoid an edge case bug where the functionality can fail if too many items are gifted at once

Bug Fixes

 * Chatting during the Adventure Store in Gauntlet mode no longer causes the store to be stuck
 * Ghostly no longer re-triggers due to repair ticks after it has triggered at least once
 * During Boarding, if your target is sunk, you will no longer be stuck in boarding mode for the duration of the boarding action (old bug that resurfaced)
 * Corrected some tooltips

Gauntlet Adjustments

 * Increased gold drops and reward chest rate at higher difficulties
 * Merchant Escort's Supply Ship now has damage and crit chance resistance to reduce the potential for it to take massive damage from broadsides, particularly from the Human bosses during the port battle
