Everyone know how Jagex love to put random factor in many aspects of game. So we do have in PoP, but its still long term minigame so even if unlucky sooner or later you will get everything anyway. Slowly mastering crew/captains.

Given that the trade good rewards are so huge, is there even any point in wasting Jade on totems? Might as well get the Jade upgrades after everything else(4th Ship, Crew), and possibly after you have gotten a better bar for captains(since they're rare), that way with a fully decked out Jade Ship it will make the transistion into the standard Pincier Voyages easier. What do you guys think?

 

Improving the rate of randoms might be good. I wonder if the random rate stacks, and if so, how often you'd get a random.

Let's not forget that common rewards can still add +30% in any given role AND that adventurer rerolls drastically increases the #of scrolls and trade goods you can get in a day.

The problem is that when they release more (accessible) armor, it'll reach the point where it's not worth doing ports because of how long it will take to get any rewards out of it.

 

It's kind of like chaotics: New players now can choose between grinding for hundreds of hours for chaotics, or they could grind for hundreds of hours for Drygore.

chaotics really arn't that amazing anymore, which has kind of contributed to the death of dungeoneering, which is a real pity.. ah well. I wish jagex hadn't effectively killed off dg with eoc, because t75 weapons/gear are almost as good as t80.

Dg isn't dead because the elitest community has moved on.

I think EOC made DG more enjoyable.

I hadn't bothed with it for a year until the bind bank/ solo xp fixes/ and EOC updates.

Not so much that as the fact that the effort it takes to get certain pieces of equipment is comically inconsistent, to put it politely. There's going to be a point where it will be easier to get level 90 items than level 80 or 85 (especially 85), if only because level 90 items are a tradeable drop.

 

They really shot themselves in the foot by making level 80 the "endgame" tier.

Are you more likely to get 10k captains as you progress to the higher regions? Up until the bowl I had only seen one 10k captain, in my first week of the bowl Ive gotten and bought three!

 

Not that I've seen. I still don't see many 10k chime captains..

Soon in Solmon store item that unlock new tier of weapons just from deep of Deamonheim.

 

Back to PoP stuff. Sure that for some its easy to buy/acquire armour from Nex or else wait long enough to buy tradeable PoP armour just for fashionscape. Anyway if i can get something for almost free, playing port while doing other things isnt so hard 1-2 clicks, then why not to make this little effort :]

 

As i remember Jagex didnt say anything about when they going to introduce more better ( than 80 ) tiers into game.

They always slowly upgrade gear. But I'm more disappoint with them continuing to try to drive prices up instead of just letting market economy work.

 

Port gear does take a fair amount of time, but at least presently the superior vs non-superior versions are different enough to warrant me wanting to go to the effort to get for myself.

 

It will take me a long time for sure though. Someday I'll have all of the port stuff :) (Probably about when it is useless)

Does anyone know if dual missions got updated? For the second time now, I sent one of a pair of adventurers, and the other simply doesn't leave any missions at all. It's really annoying to miss out on scrolls/resources like this. I'm very sure I have split pairs before and that I did get replacement single-adventurer missions, amongst which a scroll. I did have the stories done of the adventurers left, in case that matters.

Got the Whaler and Biologist in today, with the Whaler's storyline voyage, a Joint Acquisition for jade, and a Joint Effort for XP. Sent the storyline voyage and got a Fine Expedition for ancient bones.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Much like the icons/totems/portal, you'll need to choke up more resources to switch back and forth between bars.

 

Unless there are better captains than 10k captains, I think only this bar is worth the upgrade, the other 3 are pretty crappy...

Damn scroll voyages, starting to get very mad.. 4th one I fail at 85%+!!!

I feel for you...

 

Have you seen the wiki images of the sea singer hood? I'm really liking the coloring on them robes.

 

after tetsu helm I'm going to be all over the sea singer scrolls! I think I'm going to hold off on the scrimshaws... Everything is so tantalizing, but the amour means the most.

Just bought my fourth ship. Yay! 53% into the Bowl. A bit behind on y'all, but I feel I'm keeping up quite decently all things considered. I've completed all the story missions for the region and all my crew has been replaced, save one cherrywood merchant, so now I'm getting the remaining ship updates.

 

I'm really low on scrolls (5 successful missions so far) and trade goods though, so I'd better start getting into those.
