Player-owned port/Upgrades

Not to be confused with ship upgrades.

Port upgrades consist of buildings and decorations can be built or upgraded to offer increased bonuses to different areas of the port's operations. Each upgrade is separate and distinct from its previous upgrade meaning that bonuses from previous upgrades do not carry over or stack with the new upgrade, unless specifically stated.

Bar[]

The bar, located northwest of the entrance portal, is owned by Surula and is used to attract captains and adventurers. On Thursdays, players can talk to Surula for a gossip voyage, resulting in the players third offered voyage to be replaced with one highly rewarding voyage. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Workshop[]

The workshop, located in the northeast corner of the port, is unlockable by reaching the Hook region of the Eastern Lands. Once built, the building consists of a workbench, anvil, bank box, scrimshaw crafter, and cooking station. The workbench and anvil can be found just outside the building. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Note: Experience boosts from upgrades are only applied when making trade good specific items such as bonus smithing experience for making tetsu armour and bonus fletching experience for creating scrimshaws. The boost does not apply to any regular skilling inside of the workshop. In addition, the anvil, workbench and cooking station do not allow one to create anything but the trade good rewards (so you cannot e.g. smith rune bars on the anvil).

This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Totem hotspots[]

There are 6 types of totems that can be built in any of the four hotspots. Each type of totem provides a unique bonus to the port. Players can build more than one of each type, and the effects do stack with diminishing returns. This upgrade does NOT affect the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Totem hotspot 1 is located west of the portal.
Totem hotspot 2 is located south-east of the warehouse.
Totem hotspot 3 is located between the bar and office.
Totem hotspot 4 is located west of where Umi stands.

Map table	Increases the chance of receiving clue voyages and allows the player to receive hints for where to send a current visiting adventurer on their next clue mission, even if the adventurer cannot yet be sent on that mission. Click on the map table to select the 'Investigate' option to get the clue hint. 1 Map Table: +4% chance, provides a hint every four days. 2 Map Tables: +7% chance, and a hint every 3 days. 3 Map Tables: +9% chance, and a hint every 2 days. 4 Map Tables: +10% chance, and a hint every day. The information given in clue hints can be used by talking to the adventurer in the bar before sending them out on a clue voyage, in order to target the correct island for their search. The hint received on a particular day may be for a later stage of that adventurer's clue trail, so saving a note of hints for later voyages is recommended. Buying a map table resets the hint timer, so even if a hint is not readily available players can construct a map table to learn the target islands for that day. Note: It is possible to receive 2 hints at once if two clue-voyage-giving adventurers are in port on a day your map table provides clues. In this situation, two hints will be given, one for each adventurer.	3,000 2,000

Icon hotspots[]

The three icon hotspots, at the south ends of the three piers, increase the chance of attracting different adventurers to the port. Each icon costs 1000 chimes to build. The player may build more than one of the same kind of icon. However, it is unknown at this time if the bonus chance stacks for more than one. This upgrade does NOT affect the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. Note that to build a certain adventurer's icon, not only do you need the corresponding skill, but also to have successfully completed that adventurer's first story mission ("Meet the... adventurer").

Icon Hotspot 1 is located on the west pier.
Icon Hotspot 2 is located on the middle pier.
Icon Hotspot 3 is located on the east pier.

Portal hotspot[]

Portal upgrades change the look of the portal both inside the port and outside in Port Sarim. These changes are cosmetic only and have no effect on the performance of the port. Buying a certain cosmetic style does NOT unlock it for unlimited use. For example, if you purchase the Ornate Portal for 250 bamboo and then switch back to the Standard Portal design, it will cost you 250 bamboo once again to switch back to the Ornate Portal design. This upgrade does NOT affect the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.
