Sy_Accursed Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Shield is proving the bane of my existence, like a fortnight in and only been able to buy 1 crew so far. I'm sure I'll get there in the end, hoping I can strike gold with some good captains to help bump %s up - only got a cmb one so far, pretty decent only 1 trait tht was +sf so not perfect, but he'll do for now.

ilovecuttingyews Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've managed to replace all my crew with shield crew except for exiles. Still only 1 35k captain and he came with 3 useless traits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutters Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've managed to replace all my crew with shield crew except for exiles. Still only 1 35k captain and he came with 3 useless traits...Same exact position. Fast Learner, Fast Learner, and Slow SF 35k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It has taken over 2 months but I finally managed to recruit a 35k captain with +3% and +40 trait... still not ideal but it's satisfying nonetheless. Around a month after 3766, I am at the point where I have just decided to re-roll standard mcs crews for those +100 traits to use up some of that azure. Was wondering whether the type of lodging actually increases the chance for standard crews to acquire bonus mcs traits (awe inspiring, slayer, seafarer and etc.)? On another note, my alt is up to Pincer...still yet to find the first lifeboat...pretty sure I've lost over 20 crews so far (even from 6-70% voyages on a few occasions). Is this normal? Or is it just me? 'Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.' T.S. Eliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorator Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Was wondering whether the type of lodging actually increases the chance for standard crews to acquire bonus mcs traits (awe inspiring, slayer, seafarer and etc.)? I have also wondered this for quite some time. Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape.

Sy_Accursed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Whatever lodgings do do the effect is pretty much negligible since no-one seems to have logged any tangible difference in crew with different lodgings.

Blutters Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've noticed gaining many standard crew with those nice +100 bonuses since hitting Shield. Then again, I also got a "Cursed" crew for the first time ever so... I think it's luck :PLack of 35k captains pisses me off though -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Note that it's a Trapper mission under Standard Voyages. Odd. EDIT: Sent out the Trapper mission and the Trapper left port.

strilmus Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 yeah, that bug's an old one, just a little quirk in the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammako Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 At least it's just a minor bug that doesn't really affect gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreezer Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 finally reached the shield, but i noticed that a lot of my crewmembers are just bad now (like oxhead and horseface).

Sorator Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So I know xpx says to have 212 MCS Captains, one Seafaring captain with 4x multi-talented, but what traits should the other caps have? +100 or +1% to their respective stat?

Saradomin_Mage Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 +1%, four of em if possible. 1 In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah it used to be +100 for pincers because for most (all?) voyages you stats were under 10k and 1% of 10k = 100 so under 10k 1%<100But then in new regions you get past the 10k mark so the 1%>100 Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai_tong Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm back again looking for advice on my crew. XPW's supercrew is66544 MCS/Merch/Exile212 MCS Captains, one Seafaring captain with 4x multi-talented. Since 5 spots are taken up by engineers I just hired one less of each crew typehttp://i.imgur.com/SpqW9uS.pngAre there any improvements you can suggest for a 20 man crew?

Sorator Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'd replace one Sf crew with another Exile, and possibly a M or C with another Merchant (you really want a merchant on every voyage, other than scroll/non-resource story). 1 Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s!

Huge Noob Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Xpx's Optimal Ports setup: 66544 MCS/Merch/Exile212 MCS Captains, one Seafaring captain with 4x multi-talented.Biologist, Missionary, Whaler icons (Optimise Exile usage + bones best TG). I'm sorry but what does the MCS/Merch stand for? I figure the Exile is the Kharidian Exile (perhaps Merch is for Terracotta Merchant?), but I have no idea what MCS is for. I'm only in the Pincers region so I might be missing something. I really don't want to have to go through 49 pages if I don't have to. Thanks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
