Q should be hitting the Scythe region by the next reset :)

So much PoP progress. :thumbsup: Think you'll make the next zone by Christmas?

As Gwyn said, I'm hitting the Scythe region today. The region after that will take a week or so, probably (~15%/day). If I can keep up sending all voyages, which will be hard with just two ships. Fairly close to 3 ships now though.

Bowl region should be 450k distance, so it's looking like at least 200 voyages lol

Scythe Region:

 

Card Sharp (morale)

Crows' Nest Sniper (combat)

Explosives Expert (speed)

 

Winds' Home (new island) - 5k all stats - Sea Witch crew reward

Bureaucrat - +75 Solidarity

Merchant - +25% resources

 

omg snipers quick we need more spies

 

The Seafaring boosting crew is called Cartographer btw, not in Gwyn's list above.

 

Got a bureaucrat for hire, 500 cherrywood fml :/.

Awesome stuff as ever :D

Awesome stuff as ever :D

Thanks.

 

Actually got a second vial of laquer (???) and so far I've had 3 mission rerolls in the Scythe (two ships sent, sent out a quick bamboo voyage, sent one ship again) and one mission was a trait (98%) and the other slate (5500/5500 for 300). Going to need ~800 more bamboo and ~1500 more slate so idm the slate voyages. They're also much faster.

 

(lol rest of post, was too excited to post the map XD)

Nice! :thumbsup:

Thanks Kaida :).

 

Scythe update: bought rudder (500 cherrywood for +350 speed, yes please) and a cartographer, now saving for bureaucrat. Voyages are loooong, 3h40 or so even with decent speed. But I haven't failed any so a good amount of cherrywood was gathered. Need 800 bamboo 400 slate for another ship, so that's my focus for today, but overnight I do long missions for cherrywood.

 

Also, scroll mission for 12k morale and 2 laquer mission for 11k morale. I think I'll go with story mission @ 3k morale, ty.

Sending out two ships atm which will get me to the Scythe! Gonna keep focus on Arc/Hook though, since I'm about 100 bamboo and 700 slate from the third ship.

I am jellified by your three ships :(. Need 800 more bamboo but don't have time to babysit 20 minute voyages atm -.-. Ah well, Scythe voyages getting done well. 160k travelled.

A brief diversion from PoP, however awesome they are.

 

Does the Royal Crossbow still have any special mechanic to it, or did they get rid of that after EoC?

Got rid of it.

 

It's still a godly weapon though, basically a ranged cmaul

^Indeed, well worth it.

 

Got 4k slate 2.5k bamboo, decent Scythe crew (2 morale/seafaring 1 combat 1 merchant 1 bureaucrat), rudder upgrade, still haven't failed any missions. Convict story mission #1 done, fun stuff. Out of ~8 Arc-focused missions I got today, two were bamboo -.-.

 

O and, somewhere between months ago and now, my scroll wheel started working again. When I switched to Chrome, it stopped working (RS only), but now it's fine again. ???.

Seems my port is suffering in comparison, surely you're near the head of the pack?

I'm still a day behind the lead I'm pretty sure :P. Accidentally skipped a mission today too :( (2 laquer, wanted to check for duration). And failed the Occultist mission #3, first fail in a while.

 

Up to 1100 cherrywood, 100 more for a hull upgrade, if I get the next ship first I'll buy crew instead.

 

Focusing on Arc again, first two missions: chimes only (20 mins) and slate. This bloody port doesn't want me to gather bamboo -.-.

Think the leader on the HLF is at 20% lol. Insane luck + good voyages to power through.

 

Meanwhile just rolled a 13k morale for 2 chi :mad:

Need a voyage reroll then! And poor you, that's a useless mission :(.

 

Today, I got 98 smithing, combat cherrywood hull, and Winds Home island unlock:

 

 

190k travelled.

Any clue on what the distance from Winds' Home was?

Got rid of it.

Now quick question. Isn't the Unload ultimate waaayy better than the Incendiary shot ultimate, given that the intended target does not move?

Only if the target does not move :D

 

Both ultimates kinda suck imo, I think Rapid Fire hits way better than either of them

But against bosses, they wouldn't move, right?

 

And why would rapid fire be better when Unload takes out 35% x3 of max lp?

Unload's strictly better against bosses, but don't most of them have some damage cap that stops Unload from wrecking them completely?

 

Rapid Fire's better against players, getting a lot more damage out compared to Unload.

Eh. That makes it even better than Incendiary Shot. And I don't PvP at all.

Ports update: bought ram, morale deck item, bunch of crew. Failed a 500 cherrywood mission (:() but overall gained quite a bit. Sent out dual assassin/convict mission for 650 + 25% merchant @ 93% to succeed, so that should be good. 25% to the Bowl, 805 port score. Haven't seen any of the special island crew yet.
