Hello, I was told I should post for help here. I started ports a few months back because I was lacking very much so in intelligence. It's the only thing stopping me from MQC and Comp.
I am one trio mission away from Comp, I have forced out 5 unneeded adventurers to try to force a trio. I got it once before but only got 54% success rate and failed it. I have no crew but the standard crew for seafaring, morale, and combat. Nothing specialized.
I am at 2m distance. I have all ship unlocks from the pincers but my crew is from the bowl.
I have the three statues needed for my trio.
What should I do for comp? Once I get that, what should I do for distance?
Do you have 4 lifeboats? How many ships have lifeboats?
You are relatively close to Loop region (2.3M distance), so depending how close you actually are, things would change a bit.
Use all your remaining Stainless Steel to buy Pincers crew, dismissing your weakest Bowl crew (on a 1:1 ratio when you buy the Pincers).
Your crew is far too weak to do trio-level voyages atm, so send out all 4 ships and aim to breakthrough to the Loop region. Remember, even failed voyages give 100% distance.
Once you are in Loop region, you will follow a modified version of Section 27: Region Guide 7: Loop.
- Buy rudder 1st (like always)
- Buy anywhere from 80 to 100% of the crew I recommended, in the order I recommended it, BEFORE the ship upgrades.
- Buy the ship/building upgrades in the order I recommended it.
- While not specifically aiming for it, somewhere along the way, the trio voyages will come up, and you will use your Loop level crew to easily finish the Pincer level requirements.
