Hey guys, thank you for this guide
I recently entered The Loop region which caused me a lot of problems because I was just doing random stuff and had random stuff, so I decided to follow this guide and reroll some of my crew members. I am at like 50% into region now and got few questions that I finally got wisp and needI to buy 2 MCS.

1) Once I have 3 total new MCS ( 2 of them are brand new) and new wisp, should I be lvling them in the same region or lower ones so they don't die?

2) When I'm suppose to buy MCS does that mean i have to buy 1 of each morale combat and seafaring?

Tyvm

1) You got all ship and building upgrades from previous regions? If not, level up the Loop crew in those regions while collecting previous regions' resources.

2) Yes, buy 1 of each; MCS = Morale/Combat/Seafaring.

Pic shows the values when I use setup on light blue text of your guide. Switching combat deck item to seafaring deck item changes cb and seafaring values to 13107 and 14327, which would be near expected guide values. Background of image should show azure hull, cb ram, cb deck and morale deck.

I used a calculator again and the math works out - I agree with you that the:

- Use Combat Captain, 3 Exiles, 1 Combat, 1 Morale
- Use Combat Ram, 1 Combat Deck, 1 Morale Deck, Azure Hull


Combat deck should be changed into Seafaring deck to get the expected theoretical best values. Thank you for pointing out the typo.

I've already asked a Ports Completionist to spend a few minutes ingame to look into it, so I'll update after their final confirmation, but the numbers do work out that it's a typo.

Hey, I have a problem with ports.

In the terracotta region I barely got terracotta voyages,most voyages I had where steel and I couldn't even buy 1 ship upgrade after finishing the region. (focus was on the right region)

Now I am in the last region, and I put focus on the terracotta region and I just got 8 steel voyages in a row again.
Why do I have so much trouble getting terracotta voyages?
It is that I am missing story line or clue voyages that reduces the change to get terracotta?

15 rerolls, zero terracotta..

Did you ever bother to unlock the Shambling Lair island on your Ports map? The Oxhead crew that's pointless to buy.

If not, do so.

Btw, Pincers region = Stainless Steel; Loop region = Terracotta.
