Pincers - upgrade/recruitment priority


Ulysses

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

After checking the ports once a day over the past few weeks, I have finally made it to the Pincers. So I was wondering what is the optimal ship upgrades/crew recruitment order?

 

Also, on a related note, asides from the warehouse upgrade, which of the other buildings should be upgraded past jade?

 

Many thanks in advance.

I believe the best crew set up is:

 

5 seafarers

5 morals

5 combat

4 oxheads

3 judge of dices

3 merchants

 

Thsi will allow you do do all missions with good percentages.

 

I'm not sure what the order you shoudld o the ship upgrade/ crews members and building upgrades, check out the player owned ports thread in tipit general discussion.

I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed.

I have read about the crew set up in the general thread. Thanks.

 

I suppose somewhere in there someone mentioned the upgrade priorities...guess i'll do a few ctrl-f...if no one remembered.

I thought rudder was to be upgraded last? I'm in the sycthe right now so I'm not a full expert tho.

 

And not to hijack this thread, but what is the best set up for the bowl? I am 5% away.

In both scythe and pincers rudder should get updated first to take advantage of as many voyages as possible. You can probably manage without the bowl rudder before 4th ship if you use bureaucrat(or JoD) on every ship.
