Also, I have 25 port upgrades. I've done everything including all workshops, etc. I've done one of each shipwright and lodgings. What's the last one?

You have the 'wrong' lodgings or shipwright. You'll want the morale shipwright and morale or speed lodgings, iirc. For some unfathomable reason, those are worth more than the combat/seafaring ones.

 

Not sure about that, cause I have the seafaring lodgings and the combat shipwright but I'm missing only one of them

Just made my superior tetsu top, missing the helm now.

 

Upgrades almost done, just missing 2-3 buildings and 1 ship upgrade.

 

I dunno if this is just me, but I can't seem to get any oxhead; already got my judges, bands, tigers, etc... but only one oxhead, are they supposed to be rare or something? So far I've been surviving with 2 sea witches and 3 jade golems instead of the oxheads.

They are supposed to be very rare. Outclassing JoD at level 10.

What happens if you have Beurocrat (sp) and JoD on same ship? Does the JoD get the +75 boost, and the B'crat get a +100? :lol:

I am going to be doing the final Storyline reward missions very soon. I have 3 Fortune of the Seas, and obviously I plan on fitting some Merchants. Up until now, I had decided that I would use the Fortune of the Seas as well as the Merchants. Despite the fact that the few times I have used FOTS I have never gotten the penalty and always the reward, I am thinking that it might be better just to use Merchant and no FOTS? Since with just a Merchant, the reward will be 1.3, but with FOTS if I get penalties, then it would be 1.2. Any thoughts?

I thought fortune of the sea is +10% reward if you succeed but +10% to repair cost if the mission fails and resources are taken for immediate repairs.

As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapabale of solving approaches zero.

Ensure you are not a social situation.

Yeah, if Fortune of the Seas increases your penalty, you wouldn't be getting any resources anyway :P. Best to use it after all.

Oh, so the FOTS' penalties only apply if I fail the mission? If so, then how silly of me, I have completely misunderstood the effect. If someone can confirm that for me, then yes, I have more than enough resources to forget worrying about those sorts of penalties.

Has it been confirmed that FOTS stacks with merchants? so far, all i've heard is that it doesn't(so you'd get no effect with a merchant on board).

If i were to use 2 FotS on a voyage would they stack with each other or not?

Can't check in-game myself as i'm not at a Runescape playing computer.

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

I don't think you can use two

As far as I recall all 3 on bottom row (boat, specs and fots) grey out and go to 'active' once applied and can't be added too.

The bottom row effects can only be applied once per ship, I dont think there is a limit to the top row other than limited to what you have.

Like above, FoTS only gives penalties if you fail, and does stack with merchant. You cannot use it more than once as it greys out. There is no reason to not use it on your final storyline missions. I didn't take pictures when I did it, but if my word is good enough - I can confirm all that because I used it for my storylines.

I just sent out the mission for 50 plates/lacquer with 82% success, and I forgot to put on FOTS. Darn. But after I sent out all my ships, I noticed that I could I still activate FOTS, so I did. The ship that I wanted it to be active on was in slot #1, does anyone know if it will work after all? I guess I will find out in 9 hours.

I only used FOTS on one of my ships... slightly regretful, but whatever. What bugs me is now my hopes are mostly dashed on ever getting much out of ports after completing everything inside of it. I mean it would be nice to see myself getting a scroll or a bit of trade goods every day I log in.

I felt the same way, Urza. Don't worry, you'll get there. It's very slow, tedious, and boring. But with a bit of patience you will be decked in that shiny PoP armour and them scrimshaws. Cheers.

Don't worry I'm on my way with all but sea singer bottom, tetsu legs and death lotus chest. After armor trade goods and pieces made I'm actively hunting scrimshaws. Currently 120+ bones saved too.

I had the same problem with tigers. I have two level 10 oxheads/morale/seafaring (the rest is all 9) and my tigers are still level 7-9 :(.

 

Also, past 4 days, I succeeded one out of ten long voyages (1/3 scrolls, 0/2 bones, 0/2 plate, 0/1 chi, 0/2 laquer). Plus failing a lot of steel but I only send the 700s anyway.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but i somehow managed to get all pincers crew(except for oxheads ofcource, only got one of those) in less than 8 days. I don't even have a pincer crewman over t7 and i've already got 5 of each. All in all, pincers doesn't seem all that challenging as some people make it sound to be. Well, it might also be 4 lifeboats that give me the courage to send 50% ships on high resource voyages.

I have gotten all my crews within a week of being in pincers, i feel sorry for all those people who are sturggling to complete their crews.

 

My current crew is 5/5/5/4/3/3. 5 Seafarers, 5 morales, 5 combat, 4 oxheads, 3 merchants, and 3 Judge of Dice.

 

Most of my crews and captains are nearly maxed. I have 2 merchants at lvl 10, 2 JOD at lvl 10, all 4 of my oxheads at lvl 10 and various other crews all maxed out.

 

The lowest levelled crews i have are lvl 8, all the rest are lvl 9. I do notice that my captain which i've had since before pincers has been levelling slowly and has only reach lvl 7, but i tend to use my better captains instead of trying to level it.

 

I've just sent out my second last triple voyage ever. Been waiting for a week and a half for them to appear, built the staues to lure the adventurers and it only just finally worked today, I also have 2 telescopes built which has led to a scroll mission everyday so far, including today but i opted for the triple voyages rather than the scroll.

 

I have tetsu helm and platebody, i'm 30 plates from the legs.

I have seasinger's robe top and i'm 80 chi from the robe bottom and helm.

I only have 60 laquers, I'm hoping to get a lot of laquers for the final triple mission. Will be using merchant and FotS on it along with all of my stats-boosting items from random events.

 

At the moment i'm hunting for lots of supplies to get maxed port score, I believe i only have 5 or 6 upgrades left in the port to complete the port, but i do have a lot of scrolls left to get.
