Crew is 120 slate for +225 in one stat (at level 5) Deck upgrades @ 500 slate for +500 in one stat (using both slots) Hull upgrades @ 700 slate for +500 in one stat and +100 in others Bow upgrades @ 400 slate for +150 in one stat Rudder @ 300 slate for +200 speed Warehouse @ 1000 slate for +5% slate, +5% gunpowder, +1% chimes. Office @ 4000 slate for +50% ships (lol). That's the order I would go for. Mm, alright. And chances are I'll probably get to the next area before I even buy half this stuff, lol. Also, is it worth dropping to lower areas to gather bamboo/gunpowder needed for building upgrades? Assume I bought none of the upgrades really?
