Again, this is the average of my top 7 crew for the trait listed, rounded down, and then multiplied by 5. The true max can be upwards of 1-2k higher. However, this averaging works out better for 3 ships and multiple voyages out, and that I try to send out lower level crew first.

Crew and Captain:
Trait . . . . . Total. . . .Per . . (Crew+Capt)/5
Moral . . . .10330 . 10330. .2066

C+S . . . . . 11850 . . 5925. .1185
M+C+* . . 14895 . .4965. . .993


This also deals with the previous averages, and includes a complex ship average for multiple traits. The reasoning behind this is, different Hulls have different stats, and depending on which crew is available, one might use a War Hull over the Glory for the extra combat.

30% Pincers

Seems outside events are throwing me off my game. Twice this past week I have checked ports only to find I've never actually clicked send voyage. Otherwise here's the updates. Also I switched the way I do captains. I moved them to a weighted average: int( ( 2 * top capt in trait + 2nd place capt ) / 3 ) + 1

I'm still set to bowl. So I built 3 Pandora's boxes for the random events. I'm thinking I should have done scroll voyages, but I'm really starting to use boosts and scrolls don't give xp. I'm leveling up new Pincer crew, and about to purchase 1 more of each, so I'll have 4 Pincers in each trait.

Current Issues and thoughts:

4 December 2015

I need to say goodbye to crew and get new crew.

Sometime around 8% pincers would have been ideal, but I lacked the steel. Having/sending level 10 Bowl is a waste for the next region.

I'm debating letting go of 5 crew to just get cheap Scythe crew, traders, merchants, etc - and just use these crew on special voyages. At this point, I have the currency to just buy useless crew. If the special voyage is a success, then great, if the crew dies, I wouldn't really care.

However, I would be just doing two voyages a day then, and losing out on currency :s My Threads:

I put this here, as I expect you'll read the first page, click next on page 2, skim page 3, and I wanted you to be more aware of my previous notes as you scroll down.


So Day 0: Arc Region after Tutorial


Doing the special voyage in the arc region takes 1,200 points. This is the only time I will write this.

When you first start out, you want as many special visitors as possible. Also, crew can and will be free: The free crew will disappear soon.

Now it might take you 3-5 days to get all 8 visitors, but BEFORE sending out ANY normal Voyages, GET YOUR VISITORS - EVEN AT THE COST OF DEATH.

Just use the Free Crew, then stop using ( dismiss through crew interface button at the top ) them. However, this is a gamble. The idea is to get used to the interface, and before you start doing normal voyages, get a feel for PoPs.

It would be better to level up crew, but I understand currency is hard to get - also, I do expect you to try a normal voyage when you start... it's only natural.

Note though, you do not need 100% to be successful. A lot of players recommend sending at 40+% or 60+%. However, the sending at less than 90% can be totally avoided when you're new, and up to the pincers region ( 3 months away ).

So:

Figurehead will give 100
Deck Items give 200 * 2 = 400
Hulls give 150
-----------
Total 650

1,200-650 = 550

Free captain has 50 as a base, so you need 100 per crew
100 captain has 100 as a base, so you 90 per crew

Free crew give 70 in a stat, 80 Chime crew give 150.

So doing the special visitor voyages is totally doable from the start. This will also let you practice the rerolls to get new crew. Once you get all 8, then start looking at the normal voyages. After getting all your visitors, then I don't expect any death of captains or crew. My Threads:

Pincers - 54% Complete

Lately, the past month or so, my time hasn't been all mine. Work, life, and the holidays have been throwing me off the game a bit. Basically though, I'm just sending out voyages. Progress goes really slow in the Pincers. Mostly because voyages are over 12 hours - three voyages a day. So when I miss one day, or a week, it really counts against me a lot.

I'm set to Pincers region.

Scrolls and other special voyages are over 18 hours. Hence why I redid this guide/learning process. Anyway, since one can't send more than 3 ships a day, sometimes two because of the 18-20 hour voyages, expect updates slower.

Additionally, I have accidentally double-clicked figure head to buy one, when I wanted to purchase the deck items :\ That's the trouble when rushing and trying to squeeze in ports.

Also, for about the past two weeks, I should have purchased my 5th Pincers to train, but haven't had time to see who to remove/replace.

I've attempted the Oxface voyage 3 times without success. It's a 30k voyage. Currently, my max total is about 22k ~ 73%. The Oxface is to replace the Combat + Seafaring crew, even though it has stats in MCS.

The Jade Golem and Sea Witch should be stronger than the replacements giving their starting stats.

Finally, my voyages are starting to show 20k+ single trait - which I reroll.
I can do 9k double trait pretty well and still send 2 more ships
3 traits at 7k are safe.
I've failed a few normal voyages at 96%+ as well

Anyway, here's my capt + crew stats:

Trait . . . .Total . . ( Avg of top 7 ) * 5
Moral . . .11662 . 2332
Combat .11681 . 2336
