The Return of Internal IDs

 

Rushed? Ports 2? Noooooo. No no no no no.

 

It's the number 12 on the rewards thing, where 12 is seemingly random because it is an internal ID for the voyage...

 

Nr 12 is for the 12th storyline. 1-6 is the common adventurers, 7-8 is the common trio missions. 9-11 are the new adventurers and 12 is the trio to combine them... This is all as it is supposed to be(and i'm not at all surprised someone has already gotten this mission).

 

Edit: Is this also in some way wrong?

This is going to sound stupid, but how do I know if I get a random on Ports? I don't know if I've done a single one since I've started playing and I do Ports daily... I do Meg and I can do the Drink thing, but there are others right and the new one I have talked to the seasinger each day, but nothing seems to come up in the dialogue....

You get the yellow asterix symbol on your screen (same as circus etc)

ey guys , this good setup for new voyages ( new regions i mean)

havent had crew update for ages now .. last time in april maybe , thinking of  dismissing JODs for 5x tigers

Dismiss two Judges, two oxheads and all the witches. Get four tigers and three merchants. That's the minimum - another merchant instead of a judge/oxhead is fine, another tiger is also fine. When you hit the new region, keep your higher-levelled oxheads early on, but eventually replace them with the new basic crew or special crew.

 

Assuming you're around 60% to the next zone right now, that should give you enough time to get them to a decent level. If you wait too long, then your current crew will be better than hastily-bought Pincers crew.

Well, 1-6 and 9-11 all actually had the adventurers' names on them, and 7 and 8 broke that trend in Ports 1 and looked rather sloppy (instead of saying Quin/Hyu-Ji respectively). I guess 12 is consistently sloppy :P

Well, i'm guessing that if you were to get the Hyu-Ji or Quin storilines now, they'd be 10 and 11. The only issue here perhaps is that jagex doesn't want to designate any adventurer before another, thereby having them all come up as "1" instead of being arbitrarily numbered. And they are inconsistently sloppy.

 

After some bad luck with adventurer rerolls, i'm currently at 15 story/6 scroll, with a new focus to complete all storylines first. With luck, i might be able to do 21 story/ 8 scroll before Loop, however, trios are mighty hard to get and harder to complete.

I'm seriously considering getting the ring also, the stats seem pretty neat, though I'm not sure if it'll be more useful than a ring of vigour. Might end up bringing a ring switch for blood/ice, :lol:

I thought people didn't like ring of vigour because the adr gain wasn't better than the crit bonus of other rings? I've always had mine but didn't use it.

Vigour is good for peak dps because it helps your (Natural Instincts >) Sunshine > Wild Magic > Asphyx combo. Vigour is nowhere near worth it for anything else, unless you're switching every time you Berserk or something.

Currently the highest progress i have heard so far is 75% (which AFAIK is not soccerdies, but he is leading on port score by miles)

 

If the stories are really going to be pincer difficulty capped, then I may actually just leave them until later zones with better crew.

 

If you are racing by distance, do NOT reroll your trait missions, those give second best distance for nowhere near the difficulty of the 450/700 steel missions.

Why does difficulty matter? 300 steel- tier is a tier to avoid, not keep. I'm at 74% with 15 stories because I avoid everything other than 450/700/trade good/scroll.

 

Also- is there a port score hiscore? i know there used to be one but...

I thought Pincer trait missions give 6000 each, same as 450/700/XP.

 

There was a port score highscore on the RSOF, but they're not updating it until people get into the Loop.

I'm fairly sure they are by difficulty. 140 is 40%, 200 is 60%, trait/300 is 80% and 450/700 are 100%. Scroll/trade good missions are 150% time and distance. I'm not 100% sure on xp/resource missions from adventurers and gossip(but i'm guessing based on difficulty they are also 80%).

Checked my data. Gossip is 100%, XP is 100%, Trait is 100%, Adventurer Resource is 100%.

They do, they still give second best distance per voyage. Scrolls/Trade good are 9000 each.

Just got my single cook finale mission back. I got 25 pearls back after using a jade merchant and FOTS. So now I'm 29/100 peal and 2/4 scrolls from levi ring.

Probably a stupid question, but.. do trait missions still give you the distance even if your captain already has all four traits?

 

Also.. 77% to the next region. What's everyone else at?

Yes Jeremy.

 

At 74%, completed DL darts scrolls, working on the ring now, 0/4 and 34/100/

 

@ Urza, wow, your luck must have been really against you if you only got that many pearls with cook... I have yet to complete any of the new stories (except for the "meet the... " ones)

75% at the moment. Not a lot of stories achieved so far, it's rather annoying.

i'm saving my story ends for when i hit the higher regions, since there's a good chance they got the fancier merchants

That's actually a legitimately good idea in terms of why to save them. Not really buying the difficulty part, since you'd get 94% success minimum for these with merchant. However, if you have any idea of selling your first ring/cape, this will devalue them enormously.

 

Also, I saw a Ports v II add from jagex saying there will be 12 new crew. Now, going by standard logic, we get morale, seafaring, combat and special crews from both regions, putting us at 8. Now the remaining 4 has to comprise a speed crew, a golem, a merchant, a solidarity crew or a fortune crew. One of those 5 will be left out. It's also likely that they are doing it like last time, with no trait crew from the last region.

 

Anyway, i'm at 83% with 17 story.

due to my schedule, I have no luxury of sending any ships on any story voyages, as even the 1h one will prevent me from sending it on another trip the following morning, besides, story has no distance, no point in getting them done in pincers. In Loop i'll most likely do them since I cannot send more than 1 round of ship regardless.

Currently 5/12 scrolls, I just sent out the cook final mission and I'm done the architech final mission. Currently at 57 sorry missions done, which I think leaves me with 2 hunter ones and the trio for the new people. Only at 64% to next region though :(

 

EDT: Also 27 koi and 34 pearls.
