Talk:Player-owned port/Special voyages

Can "Voices Raised in Lamentation" be added as the 4th story mission (Scythe) for The Missionary, after the ongoing expansion? Req 5.5k combat + 5.5k seafaring, base duration 4:41 - Mavo (talk) 15:29, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Special Voyage Difficulty
The story mode voyages follow the same sequence for each adventurer: Part 1 requires a voyage to the Arc, Part 2 requires a voyage to the Skull, Part 3 requires a voyage to the Hook, etc. The adversity of the story mode voyages does not seem to change regardless of how long you wait to complete them.

However, the adversity for their other missions (resources, trade goods, xp, or scrolls) seems to be set by the highest area you have unlocked, regardless of the your port management settings. For example, I just changed my port management settings to focus on the Skull and rerolled my adventurers. I got the Whaler and the Biologist (so you can get multiple adventurers with a single reroll, by the way), and their joint resource voyage was to the Scythe, the highest level I have unlocked.

Of course, voyages do not always go to the target area set in port management, so it's possible this is a fluke. I'm curious, has anyone seen a non-story mission that doesn't have the highest unlocked area as its destination? I'll set my port management settings to a different area before reset and see what happens. Shogo Yahagi (talk) 20:21, December 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * I switched my port management focus to the Hook before reset and again received special voyages for the Scythe. It's only two days, but it suggests that I was correct in assuming that you cannot reduce the adversity level of your special voyages through manipulation of your port management settings. Shogo Yahagi (talk) 17:27, December 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Same again: Focus set to Hook, special voyages for the Scythe. Special voyages are also not correlated with the completion level of the adventurer's storyline. I got the Whaler and Convict today. The Whaler is on Ramraid and the Convict is on A Place Called Respite, but they both gave special voyages for the Scythe. Fairly convincing, IMHO, that they are determined by the maximum area unlocked. Shogo Yahagi (talk) 00:33, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Difficulty column in voyage tables
I'll repeat my observation that the difficulty rating for any given voyage appears to be related to the individual's ability to complete the voyage, and is not a global difficulty rating that is the same for all players. Therefore, the difficulty column should be removed. Shogo Yahagi (talk) 17:24, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Special Voyages/Story Missions
Special Voyages/Story Missions - Captain's Log lists number of Story Missions completed, which is helpful, but it doesn't list specifically which Story Missions were completed. Speaking to Adventurers while they are in port does give the option to review previously completed missions, but is limited to a choice of 4. Is there another way to determine which missions have been completed? If so, please add it to this section of POP. I would like to prioritize Icon Hotspots and Region Focus to complete those which I have not. Apparently, I've only completed 24 Story Missions; but I am 1% away from unlocking The Bowl region, and I believe I should have unlocked more by now.

 * Story missions are tied to region, 1 per adventurer for each region. If you haven't unlocked The Bowl, 24 story voyages is the maximum that you could have completed (6 Arc, 6 Skull, 6 Hook, and 6 Scythe).  Shogo Yahagi (talk) 20:25, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Remove incomplete tag?
We can probably remove the incomplete tag. This now seems to be as complete as any PoP page. Shogo Yahagi (talk) 18:45, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Further joint missions?
Thoughts on these revisions? I know I haven't done all (or any, for that matter) of the Pincer storyline voyages even though they are all available to me, but this change is news to me. Regardless, the addition does not make sense to me and is not formatted well. Also, there is some comment about unlocking Oxhead and Horeseface, which is a standard voyage. Wanted to get some feedback before I removed anything that may actually be valid. 23:56, February 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've gotten a voyage not on the list, for further joint missions. Screenshot.
