The new mysterious pirate from the Eastern Lands could introduce us to a new Player Owned Ports crew member:

Possible stats:
750 Combat, 0 Morale/Seafaring, Merchant trait +35% (Shield region tier)

Comparison to current best merchant in Ports, Terracotta Merchant (TCM):
650 Morale, 0 Combat/Seafaring, Merchant trait +33% (Loop region tier)

wouldn't replace TCM entirely, since TCM would still be extremely useful endgame in any voyage that requires Morale, but not Combat - TCM would still have multiple niche uses (Morale-only, Morale/Seafaring, and certain Morale/Combat/Seafaring voyages). TCM would also be unlocked earlier, in the Loop region (7th zone), while would be unlocked after Pieces of Hate grandmaster quest and in the Shield region (8th zone).

Totem hotspots are entirely based on your (current) personal goals. If you want more trade goods (ancient bones, spices, plate, etc.) - build Jade Statues. If you want more scrolls, build Telescopes. Cherry Trees are perfect for quicker resource gains.

Do you have all the scrolls you want/need? If not, build 2-3 Telescopes and 1-2 Cherry Tree(s).

There are sections 38, 89-90 showing the stats of endgame voyages of the 7 possible voyage requirements, but nothing before endgame.

You are in Pincers region, so each ship should always use Jade Merchant (JM; when its boost applies - excludes Scroll voyages, story voyages without rewards, etc.). If its a multistat voyage, then include Judge of Dice (JOD).

For example, that 11k Combat/Seafaring voyage would have 1 JM, 1 JOD, 1 Combat, 1 Seafaring. Play around with the ship captain/5th crew member/ship parts until you get the best % possible.

2. Build 4 Telescopes.
3. Once you are in Shield region, build 3 Biologist icons. She has the easiest scroll voyage requirements at 15,200 Morale/Combat.
4. Do Motherlode Maw (Dragonkin) daily for chance at Player-Owned-Ports enhancers.
5. Exchange 10 Crystal motherlode shards daily with Wythien for chance at Player-Owned-Ports enhancers.
6. Exchange unfocused reward enhancers with Wythien for Player-Owned-Ports enhancers.
