# Levelling Up Pirates

To level up your Pirate, you will need two of the same Pirate. Let's use the below example.

To play the Pirate Ships game, you will need to own at least one Pirate. You will also be able to level up your Pirates which provide greater benefits the higher the level of each Pirate. To level up a Pirate, you will just need two of the same character as seen below:

E.g., 1 x Level 4 Elof + 1 x Level 1 Elof = Level 5 Elof

Whilst Pirates are inflationary and have no max cap, the levelling system is a deflationary mechanic that has been implemented to ensure that we don’t face an oversupply that many protocols have suffered from.
