Are you sure the game didn't take resources for repair? It would've happened instantly. Also, I believe there's a bug where if you click (x) instead of "ok" you won't have to repair. lol derpy jagex.

 

So no one knows exactly what changed about the random rewards to prevent abuse? Reason I ask is that I still seem to be getting rewards I don't have yet by not using ones that I have maxed out at 3.

 

My guess is that will work till you max out then it will start giving the error.

Had this happening as well. It even syayed dry dock but I could send it out immediately. And I went there as soon as his voyage was completed

Look back a few posts at the picture that was posted.

I'm going to suggest "lazy" later so that i can name a ship "the lazy susan"

This just happened to me , failed a voyage said I needed 2 hours dry to repair. Nothing on the NPC to repair while viewing the goods and was able to instantly send a voyage using that ship.

Slightly concerned now lol. I only had the Occultist once, at the very, very beginning (when I did the "Meet the Occultist" mission). See, the thing about RS is that when shit happens it could just be down to [bad] luck. Orrr J could have broken something, somewhere, with some update, and I won't know the difference until patch notes months from now with something vague like, "Fixed an issue with the chance of having the Occultist visit your port if you didn't have 90 Thieving but had all other skills."

Er... Occultist is RC adventurer, the Thieving one is Convict...

 

You could build monuments by the port to increase your chances of getting occultist though, I built one for Biologist and Missionary, and in the past 3 days at least one of them showed up.

 

Assassin have been absent for sometime though.

I'm sure he knows that, he was implying a bug that was random, like not having 90 thieving, would make the occultist not show up.

I've had this happen often, but it doesn't always occur.

Speaking of monuments... I built a monument to the occultist in the first week, but when I go to the upgrade screen it says there is nothing there when it is. Though I get 2-3 occusltist missions per day, so it probably works... maybe?

Its telling you that when that option is selected and built, there is nothing. If you look at the "Occult artefact" header, on the left hand side it will tell you that is built. It is a poor design on Jagex's part and it took me awhile to notice it myself.

On the lower bit of your image it says "Currently built: Occult artefact", so...

 

EDIT: nevermind, someone beat me to it...

Ah, thanks. I definitely didn't read that... silly me and silly Jagex.

they've left the option in just in case you want to stop seeing somebody without paying to change it

Collectively I'm pretty much a week behind most of the people here, which means I can take advantage of what you've learned from your mistakes!

I've only had a day in the Scythe so far. I already have the cherrywood rudder but not a third ship yet. Should I get Scythe crew then go back to farm bamboo? More specifically, what and how many of each crew should I focus on getting?

I'm pretty much in the same position. I'm now needing to farm bamboo as I'm about 1k short of getting the 3rd ship. I was heavily penalised early on for failing missions & this cost me loads of bamboo :(

 

I guess the only option available is to use up my available voyages on the Arc, although the Bamboo rewards now do seem low in relation to the other islands.

 

Have I missed any other way of obtaining Bamboo?

Make the third ship your priority, but don't waste all your daily voyages on bamboo. From now on, it'll be difficult to do all your voyages in one day, so you'll usually do a few arc/hook missions to use up your voyages anyway. You'll be swimming in bamboo and slate not so long from now.

 

As for the crew, I'd start out with 2 or 3 per stat. Make sure you hire one or two bureaucrats, merchants and once you've unlocked her, the seawitch. You should have plenty of cherrywood to practically renew all your crew once you're farther into the scythe. Also, look into buying new captains, especially the 10k chimes ones. They come by only rarely and are worth it once your chimes are piling up.

Thanks.

 

I tend to send 1 ship out on a [Caution: Jagex Rule Violation] mission, with the other doing Arc voyages.

 

I've only seen 1 10k Captain & regrettably that was at the time I had about 9.5k charms & the voyages were not due back until the next day, so I missed that chance :(

 

I also manged to fail the Sea Witch voyage - haven't seen it since to unlock her...

 

Still will have 3rd ship tomorrow & should then be able to progress a bit faster.

Well the third ship came in handy - now I have to find a balance in doing scythe missions and the other mission, such that I just finish all voyages each day. Don't want any voyages unfinished but also don't want to be done with all voyages before the end of the day :wink:

I seem to have some weird glitch where the whaler's icon is active in addition to whichever one I set up

and

 

I'm not really sure what's causing it except it does explain why I've had whaler 2/3 of the days since update came out. It's the same thing for every icon so apparently its like having 3 whaler icons up.

3rd Ship obtained :)

 

My names:

 

The Lusty Strumpet

Naughty Nigel

HMS The Problem Child

 

4 more Voyages today + 2 Specials.

I got a crewman to level 7 today.

Any idea on what the level cap is?

This is probably the island which will force me to start using speed crew.
