strilmus Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 i launch all the long missions early on, then crunch whatever i couldn't fit in afterwards into shorter missions to mop up, using the folks i hired earlier so that they absorb as much exp as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Need to stop buying crew and work on the deck items. Really interested in what the cherrywood rudder might do on 4:45 times. Edit: I may just buy the cherrywood rudder; enchanted rudder, which is only 2400 chimes and 500 cherrywood. Normally I would say save for the deck and crew, but compared to the scale of all the other upgrades this is a steal. Besides the speed boost jumps from 650 to 1000! After this I think ill finish up crew and ship upgrades. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!

Blutters Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Could anyone take a picture of their ship with full Cherrywood upgrades? Just noticed what a cosmetic difference armored hull made on mine. Cherrywood must be spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think crew are best first, because they are cheaper and provide more benefit the longer you can train them.. but deck items are great too.

muggiwhplar Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think crew are best first, because they are cheaper and provide more benefit the longer you can train them.. but deck items are great too. Well keep in mind that lvl 6 cherry crew is only like 300 more than lvl 6 slate crew. Deck upgrade is also +300, x2, for all ships, and cant be lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Considering how cheap the enchanted rudder is and how strapped for time people usualy are you should get this after you've got a few crew. I mean 650 to 1000 speed is a way big jump. Everything as far as ship upgrades are pretty heavy costing 700 for ram/figurehead, 800 for deck, 1200 for hull. This might be the ideal time to buy a rudder over deck if you are sitting well with your crew. I'm guessing jagex slumped on the price scale here because they thought people would (or give them a fighting chance to) upgrade and camp for other resources more at this point.

Urza285 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 As suspected. Just the upgrade to the enchanted rudder cuts off 43 minutes. This takes a typical scythe voyage from 4:45 to 4:02 to completion. 15 voyages / 3 ships x 4 hours = 20 hours Pretty much giving yourself some leeway to getting the voyages done in time. Without the rudder you have to put the all out with almost no dock time. The rudder is well worth it, but probably only once you've got a couple sf, morale and combat crew.

Mercifull Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Had two randoms at the same time one for each ship but only one of them worked. I guess one cancelled the other out, how annoying.

Sumpta Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The rudder is awesome, it was my first ship update after I got myself a few crewmen. The extra ship is very helpful too. Once I got it, the voyage reqs seemed to stagnate and even go down a bit. I was able to send out all three ships with 100% success rate on cherrywood missions. My next ship update will be a seafaring one, since I've had the bad luck of only finding one new SF guy. I've also seen new traits in the crewmen: my SF dude has "seafarer", which brings a +100 SF boost, one of my combat guys has "storm magnet", which brings -1% seafaring to the ship :(. Am now wondering if I should buy the explosives expert for 2000 speed. Does extra speed still make a difference once you have the speed rudder? I feel like there's a limit to how much you can shorten the trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The enchanted rudder is the cherry wood one. This rudder takes off 43 minutes from your base time. Honestly at this point I think this piece becomes a game changer. Once you hit the scythe I think people should break from tradition and reprioritize such as: 1. Get third ship first and foremost2. Get enchanted rudder for a -43 min on scythe voyages3. Replace all but 1-2 t2 crew or have at least 2 of each t44. Work on having 2 if not try for 3 solidarity units for duo/trio spec voyages. They'll help cut usage and make it easier for 3 simultaneous hard voyages.5. Get deck upgrades and continue with tradition. Some consideration for players who might be collecting scrolls or doing high level missions. Consider getting a sea witch to reanimate dead crew should a good one be risked.

Some consideration for players who might be collecting scrolls or doing high level missions. Consider getting a sea witch to reanimate dead crew should a good one be risked. I'll have to adress the rudder situation and say that that's not true at all. The rudder is NOT a flat decrease in time, but it does add to speed. The thing is, you would most likely already hit the first speed thresghold with a 2.5k chimes captain and a Bureaucrat anyways, and since you will need these 2 units to achieve good success rates, the rudder is not that useful unless you don't have either. Source: I just bough the enchanted Rudder, it decreased time by 2 minutes, would rather have spent the wood on a new hull or deck upgrades. I did finally get a Fortune of the sea though, and activated it on my main ship. Sent that ship with a merchant on a 200 cherrywood mission, can't wait for the results *drool* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rudder makes it much easier to hit the milestone speed requirement which starts to cut down voyage time. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Cut a good 40 minutes off of my scythe voyages, if not an hour. Naturally, I keep forgetting to add the rudder to the other ship :wall: I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
