Sticking to scroll missions in bowl is the stupidest idea I've heard in this thread. Think about it: You can get 1 scroll mission in a day (maybe 2? doesn't matter anyway) (let's not count in the adventurer rerolls as they are quite rare after recent update) Say you can complete them all and get 30 scrolls in a month Now if you get to pincers, the percentage drops at most by 20%, and doing all the same missions you will have 24 after the same month. But in the mean time you will be upgrading your pincers ship and crew, which in the long run will be what decides how fast you will receive the trade goods. And about the speed of voyages in pincers - who cares how long it takes? its not like you have 8 scroll voyages per day and you could do them in bowl but cant do them in pincers. You get 1 or 2, you can complete them all no matter if you r in pincers or bowl, just if you are in bowl you are getting almost 2 times less trade goods than you would get in bowl, and you are getting no resources.
