===== Section 186: Farming Ancient Bones =====
1. Build 4 Jade Statues (+10% chance of trade good voyages).
See Section 51 for details.
2. Build 2 Biologist icons and 1 Missionary icon.
See Section 36 for details.
3. Use Terracotta Merchant (TCM) on every ship.
4. Focus on the Shield region - After you send out the Shield region's 10 Ancient Bones voyage, switch focus to Loop region when rolling standard voyages. If you get/send Loop region's 7 Ancient Bones voyage, switch focus to Pincers region when rolling standard voyages. Switch back to Shield region when the Shield voyage comes back.
5. Max out crew/captain/captain traits (+4%) to increase success chance.
6. If necessary, wait for optimal crew and captain to arrive back in port before sending out voyage.
7. If close to daily reset or using adventurer reroll, do NOT check any returned unwanted adventurers until AFTER the reset/reroll.
8. Do every random event (Barmaid, Seasinger Umi, Marketeer) you get for chance at adventurer reroll. You may get a max of 1 random event per Runescape "day".
See Section 16 for details.
9. Never idle ships - Gather 12,885+ Azure to trade for 15 Ancient Bones from the Trader when available (859 Azure per bone). After Azure, gather 20,625+ Stainless Steel (1,375 Steel per bone).
If you haven't finished all trio storylines, its possible to send out the Quin, Eastern Curiosities, and Guardians of the World trios out on voyages with captains only (no crew on board). Do NOT check the returned ships. Keep 1 combat and 1 seafaring captain remaining.
This results in 3/6 chance (50%) for the Biologist and 2/6 chance (33%) for the Missionary at daily reset or adventurer reroll. Follow above tips for rolling standard voyages as well for amazing bones/day.
