Failed my last story mission ever at 85%... -.- wtf Jagex

Yeah, why doesn't Jagex understand statistics? Everyone knows 85% means you can't fail.

It means there's a small chance it will fail. Of course it would when I've been waiting for the mission for 5 or more days.

That happens far too often, especially with trio voyages (when they come back, they nuke any undone specials for that day, so try to set it up where it comes back with nothing left).

 

51st scroll complete - one more for full armor scrolls, then to do the useless scrims I have left. I'm essentially at the ports end game now - all scrolls I care about done, ship/crew/port upgrades finished (with 4 jade statues). Now it's just stockpiling trade goods to sell stuff.

jade statue increases chances of rolling a trade good voyage

 

however, it will be largely random if it isn't coming from a specific adventurer

From what I understand the ideal icon set-up for stainless steel is two whale head trophies and a mammoth head. I'm trying to figure out the ideal icon set-up for chi globes.

Ok Good then I did it right.

 

EDIT: No good special voyage... Rerolled voyages for a 30 spice, 5 bone and 5 chi. The 5 chi, if successful will be me at 10 chi from sea singer bottom.

I don't think this has happened, but has anyone gotten Shattered Heart strange rocks from any activities in POP? I was hoping to get some cooking ones from making Rocktail Soup, but it seems that's not an option. I submitted a bug report today regardless, hoping they add them in for not just soup but making armor and scrimshaws as well.

That would be nice, but I imagine since the rate you can make them is pretty low (except rocktail soup?) that they may not have considered it. They definitely should add it though, as long as the rock never shows up if you inventory is full (no chance to destroy items!)

I imagine the amount of rage people would have at getting a rock while making port items would discourage this.

I send them out as filler voyages (IE if you rerolled the voyages and that's all you have got, go for it anyway). But I'd only keep the 400 and 700 steel missions, and definitely reroll anything lower.

What do you do once you no longer need resources? Should I just reroll my daily voyages until I get trade goods or do I complete missions anyway, just to stockpile them in case of a future update?

 

A bit of both. I try to send out a single wave of my ships each day for the Crew exp and chance at randoms. Use every roll you can trying for trades, but if not send out whatever steel you can just to preoccupy all 4 ships.

Absolutely nothing from ports tonight. NOTHING! Bullshit...

 

I had that y'day =C!

Today it choice between 10 Lacquer or a scroll. I chose Lacquer because, well next month is nearing and I still need 2 pieces before full superior sets: Lacquer Hood (15 from it atm, 5 if the mission succeeds) and Sea Singers Bottom (20 needed)

You should be using a merchant to get 13 instead of 10.

 

That would leave me with 2 for my last piece so it doesn't matter voyage wise, then you'll want to get the best % chance on succeeding ;)

It still do matter, since you don't have the lacquer voyage rolled (at least i dont think you do anyway).

 

My state earlier about "if the number of voyages is the same" applies only if you know for 100% sure that merchant will not help at all in any shape or form.

 

In your case, since you didn't bring a merchant, you'd have to roll a 5 lacquer voyage to get your DL hood, had you sent it with merch now, you only need to roll a 2 lac voyage or better to finish your DL, which is more likely than rolling a 5 lac
