Logmein is so much better. I used to use teamviewer, but it came with few too little options to maximize frame refreshing when out of network. Also on the workshop you make death lotus on the workbench too I just didn't look at the drop down menu :P. still very nice to have a bank!

No it only gave me the option to craft seasinger robes. Edit: Remote Desktop advice... Try logmein.com

Apparently the workshop has a cooking station for rocktail soup, scrimshaw crafter for all ten scrimshaws, an anvil outside to smith tetsu armour, a crafting bench outside to make seasinger robes and a bank box to withdraw items. The only big issue I see is that theer is nothing to make the death lotus armour unless it has to do with the table with the arrows, feathers and knives stuck into it over in the corner. My concerns were confirmed that you don't get bonus xp on anything other than what you craft from the player-owned ports. I tried fletching maple long bows and was getting around 57.33 xp each in the workshop. I tested the xp outside to find that it was the same rate. Although the upside is that you now can do bank skills and such inside the port (no firemaking or using bars on the anvil) Here is what it looks like: Working on getting the renovated shipwright upgrade for 3% ship stat boosts (2k gunpowder). After that I'll work on getting the reffitted lodgings for 2% better chance at finding beter crew (1.5k gunpowder). Currently have 830 so probably a couple days.

302 bamboo and we'll see what the workshop is like. 160 and 80 bamboo missions on the ballet with a 40 bamboo mission just sent.

Sometimes you'll get a message in the chat box and other times you won't and need to give a look after every voyage. I think it's a bug though.

Damn. I feel like I wasted my money on slate golems then In case no one mentioned it earlier, the hook merchants give +20% rewards instead of +10% Yeah I bought one for my bamboo collecting :P. poor bastard is nearsighted though... -40 combat.

I'm thinking of doing a few slate missions now to get the resources to buy the upgraded crew and then taking that crew back to the bamboo and gunpowder region to collect resources for the buildings. It's no use training the old crew, I want those newly trained big shots who can then go do the harder slate missions with a bit more ease... Not a bad idea really. My whole outlook is to knock out whatever needs I require from the arc (bamboo) then never return. After that pretty mug do the same everywhere else.

Should have results on what the workshop is like tomorrow. Also back to the arc to collect bamboo to buy it. After that I'm camping gunpowder for other rewards. I'm wonder with the way things are would it be more interesting and worthwhile to sweep through and buy everything you can. The other optio would be to keep bruteforcing it like most everyone else.

Sad day today we lost a wonderful swordbearing lass to treacherous men. Two voyages out and tree left. I feel it's still possible to do all the voyages in a day albeit its hard and little room for slacking off. Should probably focus on the arc again for bamboo to get stock for my workshop. After that maybe focusing on the skulls again to collect gunpowder.

I have 2-3 of each crew in the 400-500+ in stats. Not to mention I also have 2 eastern overseers and a siren whalerider. I'm not too concerned. Only thing lacking is having a 3rd decent moral crew member.

Right now from my observations all of the hook voyages I've gotten have been highly manageable with my current crew. I'm not concerned with buying better crew yet, but it'll come soon after.

Not planning on getting boat/crew first? Well after I will. The issue is that I don't want to xp waste and I'm either doing trim reqs between voyages or want to get xp. I feel that having the workshop might be interesting for when I'm waiting for voyages to return. Also I feel there is a good chance for this to go bust and it to only offer xp boosts to creating things using trade goods and not skilling in general.

Was dunging with an "elite" group. We managed to do a 10:34 5:5 large abandon. Quite impressive. I know its possible to get in a sub8 though so not that impressive. Just finished up the skulls area in ports. Port voyages have been getting longer in the hook taking 2:30 per so I'll have more time to do more rock collecting, etc. in between voyages.

Doing one 100 slate mission and two more on the ballet. C'mere workshop upgrade!

Literally going to hit hook with my last voyage. I need like 285 miles... I may not even hit it which would be sad.

Yeah I did an eagle eye one, started my rerolls and got an eager mission. I might just stack it with my eagle eye captain. My rerolls have been very easy so I'm running very close to not hitting the hook till tonight.

Now if only the game window had this feature like it really should have... Jagex needs to hire better interns ;) I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm doubtful I've been having a lot of thoughts that this place would be much like MA and getting the rings. Also got a 5 voyage reroll. Looks like I'll be playing catchup ladies! 7 voyages left at the moment and that reroll makes it 12 left. Currently at 84% so I should have that reroll for when I'm into the hook.

Should make this a tip.it calculator and give veiva credit.

We can't tell, because we don't know the story rewards. But since chimes seem to pile up faster than you can spend them, sure :P. With 3rd tier crewmates costing 600 chimes I'm a bit reluctant.

I can't seem to find an answer, but is it worth getting the statues (not totems) made this early on other than for helping complete story voyages?

I'm exciiiited! I can't wait to start getting my bonus xp from the workshop as well as some scrimshaws later.

If you've been doing alright by tonight you should have all of your gunpowder upgrades and at least 3 of each 2nd tier crew mates. You should also start thinking of upgrading the warehouse to get you extra chimes, bamboo and gunpowder. Maybe even invest in one of the port attractions.

Started thinking about the scrimshaws and realized that the 3% critical scrimshaws are going to be like the MA rings all over again. I mean even in max mage offensive gear crit is somewhere around 12.9%. An extra 3% would be beastly.

How are you so close to the hook? I am at 48% atm and only failed 3 or 4 in total. I'm not sure, but I'm sitting at 75% to completion. Yesterday my day ended at 52%. I know I've failed at least 4 too.
