Urza285 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Finally had a good day at ports, got scroll voyage as one special and the other was 5 bones (too bad I have 250 of those, so I took the 25k prayer voyage). Then I rolled 5 chi, 5 plate and 5 lacquer :D. Now if that scroll succeeds I can finally use those 250 spices and start collecting scrolls for vamp scrimshaw!Oh geez I had that whole set up before and it made my day. So sad that something like that makes your day, but it did. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!

xpx Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Actually, with the totem upgrade, I get trade good voyages in my Standard voyage tab with startling frequency.I don't think 3 Merchants is excessive.Well, i guess it's true if you do bone/spice missions with a merchant(or at all), but other than that, it's very rare for you to get enough long voyages to justify 3 merchants- i'd rather have the flexibility that the extra crewmemebers offer(particularly for when you have one or more scroll missions going).

After you've maxed port and ship and crew you admittedly eliminate resources voyages as useful leaving only scroll, xp, trade good.One of them is finite - you will get all scrolls eventually.The other is sort of finite - xp is only useful until you hit 99 (or perhaps 200m if you want to do that)The only one with continuing never end purpose is trade goods so they are useful in the longterm end-game.

chenw Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Good day today, sent out a scroll and spice, rerolled adv, got plate and lacquer, sent them. Then normal voyage rolled a plate and bones, which will need to wait until later tomorrow. If all goes well, i'll have full tetsu by wednesday, and only 4 lacqures and 1 chi voyages away from full dl and ss, and 3 scrolls short. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Another thing is that alot of people value xp beyond 99's, making xp voyages effectively infinite, not to mention, a merchant does not help to train your crew(as an extra crewmember would). And again, merchant is the one crewmember you can easily afford to be low leveled. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

Dax Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Unlocked Shambling Isle this afternoon. Re-rolled a useless crew member and got Oxhead first go. Was super happy about that, no luck on the other 14 re-rolls, though. Also sent off my first trio voyage.
