Marines
Marines
Marines are one of the two playable teams in Blox Fruits, serving as the counterpart to Pirates. Choosing this team determines your PvP reputation system, rewarding Honor instead of Bounty for defeating enemies and other players. Aside from this difference and its rivalry with Pirates, the two teams share the same core gameplay, progression, and access to most of the game's content.
Advantages:
Playing as a Marine provides several practical advantages over Pirates. Boats are 50% cheaper and travel faster, making exploration and sea travel more efficient throughout the game. Marines also cannot damage other Marines, preventing accidental fights with teammates, although this also means you cannot stop Marine players who interfere with your grinding or steal NPC kills. In addition, Marines can claim rewards from Pirate wanted posters found on certain islands, earning extra Money by collecting bounties on wanted players.
Disadvantages:
Choosing the Marine team comes with a few restrictions. Marines cannot create or join Crews, preventing access to crew-exclusive features and titles, although they can still earn the Justice Seeker title that is exclusive to Marines. All Marines are permanently allied, meaning they cannot attack one another outside of specific PvP areas such as the Colosseum or the Temple of Time after completing the trials. Marines also cannot form alliances with Pirates, with Raids being the main exception where both teams can participate together.
Marine Ranks
Certain "ranks" (displayed above the player's name) can be earned as a marine. They depend entirely on the amount of Honor the player has.
More Info:
As of Update 20, users can no longer see the exact honor number and title at the top, requiring someone else to see it for them. Makes this a bit of a pain if the user wants to see the honor number clearly.
If a Marine equips the Coat, obtained from defeating the Vice Admiral at the Marine Fortress, the Coat will appear with the Marines logo and blue sleeves.
Upon reaching a certain amount of Honor, the player will earn titles for it (Second Sea and Third Sea only.)
Upon reaching 2.5M Honor, the player will no longer be able to gain Honor from killing Bosses. The same goes for Pirates, but with Bounty.
To receive the reward, the player must first start a quest to defeat the player with a bounty by clicking on their wanted poster. If the difference in level is too high, the mission will not start.
However, there isn't a compass or waypoint that leads to the bounty the player chose, meaning the player has to set sail and find them themselves.
Similar to how if the player kills someone who is too low or too high of a level they won't receive anything, it is the same thing for the reward system, however, the player can't equip the quest at all.
When the player joins the game they will join a team called neutral which will depend on their honor. It will switch to bounty once the player joins pirates of course.
The user can obtain two different titles after obtaining a certain amount of Honor.
At 10M Honor, the user obtains the "Admiral" title #024.
At 20M Honor, the user obtains the "Fleet Admiral" title #025.
At 5M Bounty/5M Honor, the user obtains the "Pirate Hunter" and "Bounty Hunter" titles #019 and #020 respectively.
It is possible to ally a Pirate by joining a raid with one. The player won’t be able to un-ally them until the raid is finished.
The player will be automatically un-allied with a Pirate (or a number of Pirates) after a raid if they die or reset their character.
The NPC who represents the Marines team is the Vice Admiral Boss in the First Sea at the Marine Fortress.
