* AnachronismStew:
** Some of the default outfits are hoodies and zipper jackets, which exist during the game's set time frame of the 1850s, despite that they were created during the early 20st century in real life.
** One of the explosion magic spell synonyms is the word "Nuclear". However, that word didn't refer to an explosion until the 1940s.

* JackofAllStats: The Savant build combines the four stats; weapons, fighting styles, magic, and vitality, to make a slightly tanky build that has access to a plethora of abilities. It still isn't great though, due to not having access to advanced techniques that more specialized builds have.

* RedandBlackandEvilAllOver: The Assassin Syndicate uses this color scheme for their uniforms and ships.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: All fightable [=NPCs=] don't seem to have energy or stamina, which makes them capable of not only rapidly spamming skills, but also endless swimming to chase the player across the sea without ever drowning.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Ruby Roger. He proclaims himself to be a Pirate and ends up being arrested by the Bronze Legion soldiers at Sailor's Lodge. However, the player can inform the soldiers that Ruby is not a wanted criminal, and he is freed. Additionally, at Frostmill Island, when the player asks him why he can't just steal a ship instead of buying one, he says it's just because he wants to make a name for himself and become rich without harming any innocents.

* GuideDangIt: Treasure charts can be very confusing, especially on large islands like Shell Island or Ravenna. For instance, the term "Around sea level" can sometimes be higher than sea level or "Overlooking the Sea" can not even be close to the sea.

* UselessUsefulStealth: You can ambush enemies if they're far from you, but most of the time enemies will see you first.

** At the very beginning of the game, Morden suggest you to go to Redwake after he know that player have their memory loss and expect them to remember something after visiting there. He will refused to travel with you when you talk with him again.

* LetsSplitUpGang: surprisingly common for this game, where every time player split up with their group, they always end up have to encounter a boss for fight.

* LetsSplitUpGang:
** [[spoiler:At the end of chapter 2, Iris suggests the player and her to split up to gather more infomation about the Order, as it would take a long time if they are to find info about that group if they stick together.]]

* SpamAttack: Some randomly spawning non-boss [=NPCs=] have an infamous tendency to abandon using their special skills and start trying to pummel players to death with their basic attacks if they're extremely close to the player. It originally occurred with just weapons and fighting styles, but after the first part of the Nimbus Sea Update added M1 attacks to magics, it's now possible for [=NPCs=] to spam basic attacks with magics too. This can make fights against some very high-level NPCs such as Atlanteans extremely painful.

* SpamAttack: This is an infamously well-known tendency amongst some non-boss, randomly spawning [=NPCs=], especially those who have access to melee weapons or fighting styles. If you're close to an enemy NPC that has a melee weapon or fighting style, they will, for the most part, just completely disregard their special skills and attempt to pummel you to death with their basic M1 attack. This can be a VERY bad thing if the enemy in question is a very powerful one, such as any of the Atlanteans.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Cannon Fist is a fighting style that lets the player throw cannonballs as projectiles, which sounds great, until you realize that using it to sink an enemy ships will actually give less loot than using regular ship cannons. Plus, this fighting style is not very useful in PvP situations unless you're using it to chase other players on their ship.
