Urza285 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I can't seem to find an answer, but is it worth getting the statues (not totems) made this early on other than for helping complete story voyages?We can't tell, because we don't know the story rewards. But since chimes seem to pile up faster than you can spend them, sure :P.With 3rd tier crewmates costing 600 chimes I'm a bit reluctant.

But since chimes seem to pile up faster than you can spend them, sure :P.With 3rd tier crewmates costing 600 chimes I'm a bit reluctant.Maybe I got (un)lucky but so far I've gotten a lot of 400/500/600 chime-only missions, and although crew members and ship upgrades cost a lot of chimes, the required secondary resource (slate) simply doesn't accumulate quickly enough to run out of chimes. Right now my ratio is about 6000 chimes to 1350 bamboo and gunpowder, with no slate (but 100 incoming). Edit: I do have all gunpowder ship upgrades & 2k chimes spent on icons.

Guess I'll wait till Scythe region to gather trade goods, hopefully the rates are better there.I'm doubtful I've been having a lot of thoughts that this place would be much like MA and getting the rings. Also got a 5 voyage reroll. Looks like I'll be playing catchup ladies! 7 voyages left at the moment and that reroll makes it 12 left. Currently at 84% so I should have that reroll for when I'm into the hook. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!

Wow just one plate per voyage is going to take a long time to gather enough. Plate is used to make tetsu armor btw to whoever doesn't realize that. And you need 100 to make just the superior platebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTommy2005 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Is there even a good reason to waste a special voyage on story progression rather than resource/scroll? Does it give you any benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel555555 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 what do trade good even do? [spoiler=click you know you wanna]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.

Veiva Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey everyone, one last quick update to the configurator tonight (well, EST!). A friend requested two quick features, so here they are: I added sorting crew members (it sorts alphabetically by name, then from highest to lowest level) and custom names for captains. I'm planning a voyage management feature next, which will automatically check/uncheck crews and captains. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum_Myr Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If the game window had this feature the player interaction would be pretty much 0%. I was not referring to the auto calculate. Just the sorting. It is really dumb that we can't sort or crew by type, level or stats. It is a huge huge pain to keep track of crew because we cannot sort things. 1 Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
