Yoko Kurama Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 One of my TC Merchants has the 'feeble' trait. I have 4 lifeboats; should I be worried? Are lifeboats consumed if they save someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecuttingyews Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Lifeboats are consumed when used. Afaik it was in the same update that changed randoms to one per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingjj Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've never had my lifeboats be used, even when it says "one of the crewmembers was found drifting in a lifeboat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byzantus Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Lifeboats are consumed when used. Afaik it was in the same update that changed randoms to one per day.I had a crewmember saved a few days ago, and all my ships still have an active lifeboat, so i guess it's still permanent.

xpx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It is definitely still permanent. 100% sure of that. Also, they haven't fixed randoms to give a completely random reward. You have an extremely high chance of getting a reward if it's your only noncapped reward. I have gotten adv rerolls at an 80% clip since the pop II update(and no, those were not in any way changed then). First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

HunterDexter Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 90% of the time I get Random Rewards that are already capped. I've been trying to save up 3 of each stat boosters, I am at 1 morale booster and 1 seafaring booster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to save up 3 of each stat boosters, I am at 1 morale booster and 1 seafaring booster...Never use any booster or any crew/captain rerolls. It's just stupid- they provide little to no advantage. Voyage and adventurer rerolls are the only ones that provide a tangible advantage. Just a shame that voyage rerolls are partially broken.

HunterDexter Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Well, for the trio finale they would be very handy. :s I'm at about 70% without boosters, I would like to maximise my chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten adv rerolls at an 80% clip since the pop II update(and no, those were not in any way changed then).I dunno about that man. I've had several (3 or 4) randoms since I started bothering to do em after POP-2 that essentially gave me nothing and far more that only gave me one thing that wasn't capped. It's like, why do I even bother... -.- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're permanent wich is why they should be taken off the random drop table once you get four. So annoying to have one pop up as reward for a random. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I've been to the Crunch once...

xpx Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 As i said, i've had an overall 70-80% of adv reroll, about 85% overall that i get something. All capped except for adv and voyage(and sometimes fots when i used it on story missions). First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

xpx Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 And i did mine at like 63%. Actually, i did both the other trio finales at similar percentages and didn't fail either of those. The fact of the matter is, you are giving away an excess of 1-2k cotta and chance to save you from poor rerolls for a 20% increase of successrate on one mission. Totally idiotic, but to each their own. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015.

Wkw Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think the reason people don't want to fail the trios is because they are fairly rare, and when you do them, you're going to plomp on a merchant and a fots... Which is reason enough to save up the boosters and good crew so you don't waste them 3 Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
