Especially painful if you lose a perfect +4% captain, since it takes a long time (6-12 months) to recruit a Shield tier captain (cost 35K chimes), get it to level 10, get Memory clue voyage multiples times to remove all traits, then get +1% trait voyages multiple times to make it +4%.

===== Section 30: Tips & Tricks 2 =====






- Use your adventurer icons to assist the chances of getting your favorite voyages (trio voyages, trade good voyages, etc.). Use one on each new adventurer whose storyline you are not finished with, then switch to whatever icon combination you want after all stories & clues voyages are done.

- If you need trio voyages, make sure the adventurers you do need are NOT at sea at reset. For better odds, keep unneeded adventurers out on ships, and don't check the ships when they return.

- Even when you give the best answers for Meg's weekly adventures, those only serve to help increase her skills and chance of success. You are NOT guaranteed a huge lamp reward even with perfect answers.

Major update - Most of the quick links on Kags V5, HLF V5, and Kags V6 should all now lead to Kags V6.

===== Section 9: Captain & Crew Hiscores =====
Hiscores works on a total points system:
- Bonus stats/traits in captain/crew specialty is worth double amount.
- Bonus stats/traits in non-specialty is worth face-value.
- Bonus stats/traits in speed is worth half amount.
- 1% traits: 500 points if in specialty, 250 if not, 125 if in speed.

===== Section 55: How to Gain Distance Fastest =====






Only the higher-amount resource voyages will give the maximum distance in each region (including Barmaid's Tip and adventurer resource voyages).
- Arc: 150/160/180/250 Bamboo
- Skull: 160/175/250/350 Gunpowder
- Hook: 180/300/400/500 Black Slate
- Scythe: 300/500/650 Cherrywood
- Bowl: 360/600/800 Jade
- Pincers: 450/700/900 Stainless Steel
- Loop: 125/175/275/325/400 Terracotta
- Shield: 240/360/560/720 Azure

Always have all 4 ships sailing 24/7/365 (not idle in port). Make sure to raise speed whenever possible. You know you have maxed out your speed when further increases in speed do not lower your voyage time. Scroll and trade good voyages have higher speed caps. Adventurer story voyages do NOT give distance progress.



Every time you log in or log out, you delay all ships up to 1 minute, but it averages ~30 seconds. Beware when quick hopping worlds often.

Each voyage has it's listed time and a random +/- 7 minutes (Arc), 8 minutes (Skull), 10 minutes (Scythe), 12 minutes (Pincers), 14 minutes (Shield).

Yea, old crew "die" every time you reach a new region. That's why its important for you to keep all ships sailing 24/7. Even failed voyages give 100% distance.

How early are you in Hook region? If just reached, get new rudder, get 4-6 Hook crew, go back to beginning and unlock all ship/building upgrades while leveling up the new crew.
