===== Section 21: Region Guide 1: Arc =====
=== Introduction ===
- 1st region (0 to 5,000 miles), tutorial area, can be completed within 3-4 hours.
- Resource: Bamboo
- Minimum-maximum speed range: 300-500
- Time per standard voyages: 20-33 minutes
- All building upgrades: 9,300 Bamboo (including 250 for Ornate Portal)
- All ship upgrades: 860 Bamboo

=== Recommended Crew ===
- Never ever buy golems or speed-only crew.
- Grab all the free crew, since you have 25 crew slots anyway.
- Buy 2 First Mates (Solidarity +25).
- Buy 2+ Cyclopes (do not buy Brimhaven Pirates after you unlock Cyclops).
- Buy other crew as you see fit or need.
- See Section 57: Crew Analysis 1.

=== Recommended Buy Order ===
Sturdy Rudder > Refitted Office > Small Crate of Food > Single Cannon > Sturdy Rigging > Reinforced Hull > Polished Figurehead > Sturdy Ram > Large Crate of Food > Sleek Hull > Refitted Warehouse > Refitted Shipwright > Refitted Bar


- First Mate has Solidarity (+25) trait.
- This means, for every unique crew member on that ship, the First Mate gets +25 to Morale, Combat, Seafaring, AND Speed. Captains are considered a unique crew member.
- This does NOT stack with other Solidarity traits on board the same ship.
- Empty slots are treated according to the crewman type most recently in them.
- Example of maximizing Solidarity bonus: any captain (unique automatically), First Mate, Varrock Chef, Brimhaven Pirate, Catherby Fisherman, Cyclops. This results in +150 to all 4 stats for the First Mate.

===== Section 29: Tips & Tricks 1 =====


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

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

- Trade goods have a hard cap at 250.

- 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 max cap at 10 if you obtain more after 3 via clue voyages from the Whaler/Trapper/Chef respectively.

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

- 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.

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

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

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







- Build adventurer icons to boost chances of getting desired special voyages (trio voyages, trade good voyages, clue voyages). Build one on each new adventurer whose storyline you are not finished with, then switch to whatever icon combination (ex: 2 Biologist + 1 Missionary) you want after all stories & clues voyages are done.

- If needing 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 providing best tips for Meg's weekly adventures, it only increase her skills and chance of success. You are NOT guaranteed a huge lamp reward even with perfect answers.
