===== Section 52: A Barmaid's Tip Voyages =====
Each week, between Thursday gametime 00:00 to 23:59, ask Surula the Barmaid for gossip. This voyage can not be obtained on any other day of the week. If accepted, it is placed in the 3rd standard voyage slot, replacing the voyage there, if any.

If you do not get the gossip (Barmaid's Tip) until you have used all your voyage rerolls for the day, when you get the gossip, you will get 1 additional standard voyage reroll!

It is influenced by region focus, but it is not guaranteed.

===== 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).

===== Section 60: Captains Analysis =====
A ship must have a captain before it can sail on voyages. Until a captain has been assigned to a ship, crew cannot be assigned to it and previously assigned crew will not be shown. Each ship may only have 1 captain assigned to it.

Only 1 visiting captain is available for hire at any time. If hired, the spot remains vacant until daily reset (00:00 game time) unless a Captain Reroll is used. Captain Rerolls are available from daily Ports random events or Ports enhancers. At reset, or when rerolled, the visiting captain (if any) is replaced by a new randomly determined visiting captain.

=== Base Stats & Specialties ===
Captains have base stats determined by their quality (the region you can 1st find them in). Their base stats are the same for 3 stats while a 4th stat, their specialty, will be approximately double that value. The player starts with a free captain of the lowest quality. The 1st 2 tiers of captains are available immediately, but additional tiers of better, more expensive, captains become available as more areas are unlocked.

Some high-level bar upgrades increase your chance of attracting captains with particular specialties. These are not available until the Bowl Region has been unlocked.



Do not buy the Shield Region's Speed captain, it is useless.

=== Captain Names ===
Captain names are generated by using a combination of a forename (or nickname) and surname (or title). They are purely cosmetic.
