Cumulative Black Marketeer data from both lBebi's 126 days and Invention's 48 days:

Chimes: 81 days (46.5%)
Bamboo: 14 days (8.0%)
Gunpowder: 9 days (5.2%)
Slate: 12 days (6.9%)
Cherrywood: 11 days (6.3%)
Jade: 10 days (5.7%)
Stainless Steel: 8 days (4.6%)
Terracotta: 15 days (8.6%)
Azure: 14 days (8.0%)
Total Days: 174

lBebi

Chimes: 63 days (50.0%)
Bamboo: 9 days (7.1%)
Gunpowder: 7 days (5.6%)
Slate: 9 days (7.1%)
Cherrywood: 10 days (7.9%)
Jade: 6 days (4.8%)
Stainless Steel: 4 days (3.2%)
Terracotta: 9 days (7.1%)
Azure: 9 days (7.1%)
Total Days: 126

Invention

Chimes: 18 days (37.5%)
Bamboo: 5 days (10.4%)
Gunpowder: 2 days (4.2%)
Black Slate: 3 days (6.3%)

Jade: 4 days (8.3%)
Stainless Steel: 4 days (4.3%)

Based on this gathered data set, we can estimate that the chance of Black Marketeer offering Chimes is 50%, and the remaining 50% split equally among the other resources in the regions you have unlocked.

New changes :D

===== Section 29: Tips & Tricks 1 =====
At daily reset, the chance of the Black Marketeer offering specific resources is:
- Chimes 50%
- Remaining 50% split equally among resources in regions unlocked


- You can talk to adventurers who are currently visiting in the bar to rewatch previous story cutscenes.

- Reward boosts are applied in this order: Merchant trait > Fortune of the Sea (FOTS) effect > Warehouse building > Cherry Tree totem

- Use Terracotta Merchant (TCM) and FOTS to get 23 Trade Goods (TG) from Shield region duo adventurer trade good voyages.

Adventurer icons to build:
- If goal is Plate: Whaler + Biologist + Memory
- If goal is Lacquer: Convict + Assassin + Exile
- If goal is Chi: Occultist + Missionary + Tengu

- Chimes have a soft cap at 200K, resetting back to 200K at daily reset.

- Trade goods have a hard cap at 250.

- Do NOT recruit speed-only or golem crew, they are not worth it.

- Seasinger's Bottled Cry/Powder Kegs/Ration Packs/Wind/Lotus Spectacles/FOTS/voyage rerolls/adventurer rerolls cap at 3.

- Seasinger's Bottled Cry/Powder Kegs/Ration Packs cap at 10 IF you obtain more after 3 via the final clue voyages from the Whaler/Trapper/Chef respectively.

- Lifeboat caps at 1, captain reroll caps at 2.

- Scroll difficulty is based on highest region unlocked.

- Previous region stories can be found while in later regions if missed.

A trio storyline voyage is guaranteed to appear when:
- You have any 2 of the 3 adventurers from one of the trios in your port.
- You have the Pincers region storyline done for all 3 of the adventurers in that trio.

Trio storylines: 1 icon of each adventurer in that trio:
- Quin: Assassin/Occultist/Whaler
- Hyu-Ji: Biologist/Convict/Missionary
- Eastern Curiosities: Architect/Chef/Trapper
- Guardians of the World: Exile/Memory/Tengu

Hi Kags. Im now 88% into the bowl region and I was wondering what's the best way of going about getting my trio's done when I reach pincers.. do I get the new hulls/decks as soon as I get in, crews, and then try for the trios by blocking the ones that I don't need on a boat or do I just simply go for them with the crew that I had in bowl?

Follow section 26 (rudder upgrade, then 6 new crew, then alternate crew/ship parts) and getting trio voyages naturally works. If daily reset is coming soon (or using adventurer reroll), then any returned ship with unwanted adventurer - wait till after daily reset to check them.

What is the strategy for maximizing captain's trait removal trips? Thanks.

Is a better strategy to keep buying new captains until you get either the traits you want or trait-free captains? I am really unsure as to how captains acquire their traits automatically.

Have you read section 44 on page 5?

New changes :D , thanks to Fryes for pointing out a typo. Switched to recommending Maritime Shipwright and Mariner Lodgings since only Ancient Bones matters endgame in 2018.
