loreal Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 So... I'm at the point where I have all the steel ship upgrades and a bit of spare cherrywood and jade. Most of the steel building upgrades are useless since they give bonuses to one stat in favour of another. Since there is no steel seafaring hull or mast, moving on from the seafaring shipwright seems counterproductive. What's the optimal end game setup for the totems? I assume it would be the jade statues (gives more trade resources) but it seems like rounding issues might make them totally pointless. Alternatively I suppose I could get the telescope (increases chance of scroll missions) but that's also suboptimal since I would have to replace them eventually when I get all the scrolls.

Saradomin_Mage Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Might want to wait on building totems until Mod Edam rolls out any changes he's planned for them. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You need the steel shipwright/lodgings upgrade for max port score so might as well go for those imo. Mod Edam has taken note of the idea that seafaring deserves a compensation for not having shipwright/hull at the highest tier and no bow items whatsoever. Whether that means we're going to get something... maybe.

Blutters Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Do you need to buy all options of each building upgrade at least once to max port score? I'm a pretty long way off from even considering throwing around resources so frivolously but still...At somewhere around 6-9 jade voyages a day (maybe 8-12 when I get that 4th ship) it's probably going to take me another month to even reach Pincers -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspeeder Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Poor planning on my part has made this more of a grind for me than it had to be. Now I have ~3600 bamboo to get for various building upgrades and I'm less than 3/4 of the way to the bowl. Still, considering I don't have a computer here and have to brave the arctic (Read: Minnesotan) winter to use public computers I'm not doing too bad.

loreal Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ugh, icon mechanics. If I get a whaler icon, that will reduce my chances of getting another adventurer right? So if I got 5 different icons I basically have achieved nothing other than making one adventurer rarer? Some of these building upgrades seem really poorly thought out.

Quyneax Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 You can only have three icons, and it's definitely worth building a few because often it's better to focus on a subset of adventurers. For example for the triple stories, or if you're hunting plate etc., icons will boost the chances of getting the right adventurers.Edit: also don't forget the chance to attract two adventurers isn't 100%. @TheRealSycz2k: I'd get the rudder, judge of dice (if possible) and a couple of basic crew first.
