I'm now coming up to being able to build my totems, what is generally thought of as a good setup atm?

I'm thinking either 2 teles and 2 trees or 1 tele, 1 pandora and 2 trees or maybe 4 teles.

 

I mean I don't really want/need more xp missions so parrot sucks and obv as it stands 1% boost from jade is utterly useless to nearly every trade good mission.

 

I thought there was something in the works about fixing jade statues?

 

There is! But it still can take a month or 2 before it is going to be implemented..

 

What is going to be fixed soon (as in along TWW) is the degrade rate of the PoP armour. This is going to be similar to Nex gear!

Yeah just because its in the works doesn't make Jade any use to me NOW.

Plus they said they'd be addressing making them all more useful so even then jade could be a poor option.

I'd go with at least a couple telescopes. I only have one and did good for about 12 days in a row and I've now gone 4 without a scroll :(

Can't you still only get one random per day?

nope

No, you can get more than one, or no, you can only get one?

more then one

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Got the first two triple voyages out the way for the final plate and lacquer one. Pain in the ass waiting for it to show up. Sitting on 60 plate and lacquer at the moment with sup Tetsu legs already made.

 

Got the first two trios back to back now waiting two weeks for the finale to show up >.>

 

That sucks.

 

Not to rub salt in the wound or anything but I just sent out the last voyage at 59%. I'm not too hopeful but if it does succeed I'll be pretty close to full Tetsu and Death Lotus. :D

I accidentally ran over a Oxhead today; by that I mean I rerolled it. Not I had any intention of changing my crew (I currently have 2 Oxheads). Oh well.

 

Also, I am at 25 scroll pieces (all armours, naturally). I had 2 scroll pieces last night which I got thanks to an adventurer reroll. Today I had no scroll missions, it seems that despite having 4 scroll totems, the pattern is I get a scroll mission one day, then none for 1-2 days, then another scroll mission. Meh.

 

I also had my first trio-storyline the other day (finally!) but I opted for the scroll instead. No trio today. I also get regular days where I only get 1 adventurer.

 

I still need plenty more trade-goods, and the missions need to be made far more frequent (the standard ones for 5 each). It's ridiculous thinking how many months it's going to take me in the end. Also, now that I have gotten my crew all settled, and all the port upgrades and ship upgrades, there's literally nothing to do there. There are days I get no standard trade goods, no scrolls, no storylines, or adventurer trade goods missions. Why the [bleep] am I getting people like the Occult/Convict/Whaler with 700 steel?I don't need that, I need plates/chis/lacquers. Other days I get joint missions for Experience/steel. My 'Ports luck is awful. It's very dull.

I actually skipped a finale trio mission a couple weeks ago in favor of getting the highest success rate with crew/ship and a merchant.

Same, hence why I only do scrolls/resources at the moment...

Nearly got all crew I need, just 1 Harem and 1 Oxhead shy... =C

 

Also I need some FotS, but I don't seem to get them anymore =C

I actually just got my last base crew. I'm looking to get another two ox/horse to replace my jade golem and 7th seafarer. I also got a spare jade merchant lined up in case I lose the one I got.

 

Wondering if I should hit a scrimshaw before going after death lotus gear after I finish my sea singer soon.

Can you confirm that?

I started logging my random events in Ports at the end of January to confirm the 1 per day thing, and this is what I logged:

The times are the times the server runs on (GMT), to ensure that it's not my timezone affecting notions.

From the above, there's nothing to suggest you can get more than one a day.

 

PS: Note how 2nd of February and 3rd are only 37 minutes apart, but still in a new server day.

I'm fairly sure after the debacle with random events early on, they changed it to 1 per day. It'd be too much of a coincidence for this many people not to have gotten 2 on the same day.

 

Anyway, with me still playing catch-up, finally managed to complete my fleet. At 22% trough bowl, it's been really painful not being able to upgrade things until now.

I am pretty sure I've had 2 randoms on the same day after the nerf.

 

It might be that the chance of getting another random on the same day is substantially lowered, just like the chance of getting an effigy is lower if you already have another effigy.

I've never had two randoms on the same day, and I've gotten one virtually every single day since the release of ports.

Once I had one random immediately follow another, and it's worth noting that the second one replaced the first one.

This has happened to me as well. I was also only able to do the second one.

There have been times when I log in to collect my 4 ships and after the 2nd ship I'll get a barmaid random. But instead of doing the random right away, I'll keep collecting from my other two ships. After that, I get another black marketer random which "overwrites" the barmaid.

I have a theory that the chance of getting a random is based on how many randoms you have done for that day. IE it is relatively easy to get multiple randoms if you didn't do them, but once you do it for that day, the chance of random drops drastically, if not becoming impossible.

Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature!
