What I like the most with your content is that you not only provide all the information needed to complete a task, but you also go in depth of methods, recourses, and time taken to complete it. It’s been really helpful so far, and I also really respect your stance on clickbait you mentioned in a previous video. Keep them coming man!
FYI For the "She drifts, Sea gifts" una's task: the Arthetine and Yorn coop sailing events always start with the "Pull it together" event (i.e. the one you need for the una's task)
Got my astray a few days ago. Thank you for telling people up front that u need to get Blackfang to trusted. I didn’t know this and it pushed me back a few days.
I prepped and got the legendary vesions of Wilhelm and Barakas weeks before I finally unlocked the Astray. I'm glad to see you are going into such detail. Many other creators don't bother or just don't know.
@@ThatYiGuy Thanks! Yes, merchant RNG is a bit annoying, but at least getting the resources was possible to do before even reaching T3. The current race event helps a lot now, but getting enough sun coin for the Omnium Star and multiple Tears of Abyss is just as much of a pain.
Thanks for the guide. There are way too many clickbait guide articles out there, NONE of them mention you need max rapport with Blackfang (probably because none of those hacks who wrote the articles even did the quest themselves). I had no idea and basically didnt work on her rapport at all until I had everything else done, so that set me back weeks on my progress.
Following you for a long time already, just got my Astray and upgraded it to lvl 7 and got Relic Blackfang, Relic Barakas, Relix Wilhelm and Epic Blackfang for now :D. Really happy about it, was a fun but heavy grind i cant deny :P
Dude, It think you're the only one who explains Black Fang's rapport max requirement. None of the other guides talks about it, almost on purpose. I got all the mats required, but didn't know about the rapport requirement so I wasted 1 month of missing out grinding out the stats and rapport chest.
Update 2 weeks later: gotten mine today, instantly leveled it up to 10 and had every best in slot sailor pre purchased. Didn't expect everything to work out, but the grind was worth it. Thanks for your guide, would have been alot harder to plan ahead otherwise :D ---- Didn't realize trusted Blackfang isn't just optional. Didn't realize Relic Wilhelm is 144k PC on top. Didn't realize the alternative Legendary Wilhelm is 70% Punika Tome. Back to Estoque 🤣
70% punika is actually pretty doable, all of the rapport options have the same completion percentage so you can focus a couple down It's only 80% and higher rewards where you start having to consider spending 2 million silver or much worse grinds lol
@@codetaku gotten every tome to 70-80+ long ago, except Punika. Didn't bother with it cuz it just seemed incredibly annoying. Ty for clearing that up tho, will give it a shot the next days
i dun usually go thru 20+ mins of guy talking. but this is so much info that it's very helpful. some people talks as boring (no offence) but they really just glance thru all the basics stuff and never goes into details like this Yi guy. it's so much harder for me to grind this because i'm from Singapore which i cannot follow the timing to do most of the quest especially sailing quest because they happen during working time during weekdays... it happens like 10.30 - 2.30 pm for me which i'm in office working my butt off... so good to know all these... but it's gonna so dreadfully long for me before i can get astray.... O M G...
one more thing i just noticed, if you take a look at your sea bounties window and look under the world map, the more of them you collect the more of passive hazardous waters resistance you get
wow man, thanks so much for including the rapport requirements. youre right, every other piece of info ive seen about this ship hasnt mention this at all an i think its a huge "oversight". in quotes because if they upfront with it most ppl would just quit trying an theyd lose the view
I finally got the ship today! I'm using the orca skin with it with Relic and Epic Blackfang as crewmember. I'm zipping through the sea like crazy. Thanks again for the awesome guide!
First person who explains correctly how to get charisma and why you can't talk to Blackfang even tho you have the mission to do it . Cool video bro keep that content explaining in detail , gj ^^
Finally got around to building my Astray and thanks to your video it goes ZOOM ZOOM. I really appreciate the guide, it saved me so much time, thank you thank you thank you.
Got Astray today, finally hit "trusted" with Blackfang for her to let me get the last item. Already got the ship to level 5 with Relic BlackFang and Epic Barakas and Wilhelm, need few more sun coins to get the relic Barakas. Thanks for the guide.
Awesome guide!! Although, I think I going to just keep working on the easy one, the Ghost Ship. You are only required to do the Una's task for it, which is complete a Ghost Ship mission once. Then you are able to take the Una quest everyday, even though you can only complete one Ghost Ship per week per roster, and use the Instant Complete tickets to get credit for it everyday. These Instant complete tickets are easy to get not spending any real-world money in the cash shop. They are available from the exchange vendor for the Arkesia Grand Prix event.
Thanks for this vid and the doc guide. I was so happy that I finally had done "all the requirements" to get Astray after a month and suddenly I see she doesn't want to let me make Astray cause I didn't build enough rapport with her. None of the guides mentioned it so now I have to wait more time to get my Astray :( At least thanks to you now I know, ty
Doing feiton and punika and yorn and couple other travel merchant will save you so much money on upgrading the ship. Doing those adventure tome’s will help you get more charisma. I’m currently at 280, EZ Azena and Elia are big help on the charisma potion
The truth is that once you get your roster built up with alts to do una dailies and after you have bought all the other collectibles with pirate coins this will be much easier. Stuff like freedom isle soul and some others cost over 50k pirate coins each. Upgrading your compass to epic and up adds another 1 knot speed which is as good as an extra sailor. Until you have astray with 5 slots, estoque will have a lot more resistances so the time you save with astray will be spent going to repair all the time. You do need to factor in that the base materials for upgrading are the same for both ships, only the special materials are different. So going from 5 to 10 costs the same amount of basic materials and this month's login event provides most of them which will let you get one of the ships to 5 sailors. Also another tip for charisma, check your achievements, a lot of them give rp stats. There is a list of achievements to use every song 150 times and they give 1-2 charisma each, takes a while but much easier than waiting for una dailies or rapport and you get like 20 charisma just from that.
You can also farm charisma from your adventurers tome. If you hover over each of the hidden stories it will show you what virtue stat and how much each one gives.
i got my astray yesterday. loving the ship and did get blackfang relic as well. i saved up enough to buy the tear thing and went to her and completed unknown quests in the area. so now i'm saving up to get the other crew members, at least the ones that i can get with coins. the legendary ones will take a while to get since it is rng. x_X
It’s funny, after grinding for a while I realized the only real challenge of getting Astray are the virtue stats, which is interresting since they are totally ignored by other guides.
The issue with the "cheese" method is that it actually makes you skip quest and dialogue options that give you a lot of rapport points. So, doing it regular way saves you gifts/rapport actions.
@@bakakubi Def do it. I maxed her yesterday by rapport gifting step by step and she had several Dialogue and Quest rewards, yielding a good 6-9k extra rapport on top. If you bomb her, you basically waste almost one entire Relic item
Hehe I didn't play on Korean or Russian versions, but as soon as I started sailing in the game and noticed how much stuff requires sailing, I decided upon obtaining Astray. And it was kinda my main target for the game. I maxed out Blackfang (and did 6 continents to 80% completion for relic rapport items). I finished the Pest Control reputation and I need just one more day for She drifts, sea gifts. Astray incoming! :)) I also bought all the sailors with my pirate coin chests (missing just the most expensive one).
I feel like ppl should get relic Blackfang and Barakas for sure and for Wilheim I think the legendary one is far enough. IMO importance: Blackfang = Barakas > Wilheim I got the relic Barakas, legendary Wilheim, and halfway to the relic Blackfang
Might want to mention that if you're doing a straight skip you need to clear out her rapport quests too. Likely if I had done the quests as I bombed her, I would not need to do Sidus. Sidus is one of her Rapport quests - like the 3rd one you must clear to bomb her. My math had put me exactly 11001 from 0-301. You need the 10 soul island tokens to unlock "Threaten" emote to pass the quest. Otherwise I would had straight bombed at 11001 with 23 instead of recalculating to 13000 with 16. The quests had put me exactly 50 points higher than needed so had to bomb her at the 2nd point. So that's something else to watch out for because if those quests gave like insane rapport exp that would had totally messed up the skip. Basically pushed to L10 Astray. Thunderstruck at Yorn Merchant Ship (Total 4250 Arc coins) and Helm frags Punika Merchant Ship (Total 3200 Ancient coins) for 7-10.
i would not waste selection rapport chests on virtue skipping blackfang, her stats are very reasonable to obtain and theres other important npcs that are better worth skipping who have higher virtue checks
Got Astray today, already had Relic Blackfang, Barakas and Legendary Wilhelm waiting. I just need to see what other 2 members I want to use when I lvl it to 7 and 10 lol
Yeah no other guide tells you that you need to rapport Blackfang. I remember someone commented and said you need to rapport and the creator of the video just went like "oh I guess I forgot to add that." People just want that easy clickbait rather than genuinely wanting to help people these days.
Does anyone have any recommendation where to do sailing coop? I tried so many in the last week but it never happened to be the right one for the commission. I only need to finish once so I can use the instant finish things :(
Thanks for your efforts! As for someone who's almost done with getting the ship, I did not realize how much work there is left to be done. One question I do have is: How much performance am I losing for not going for Black Fang Rapport?
the blackfang thing has not been mentioned by anyone else ive watched. not sure im even gonna actively try for this ship anymore. too much work an how much sailing do you actually do?
You can skip the 260 charisma check if you are already at 190+. 190 is relatively simple to get to, but i imagine 260 Charisma is much harder for folks. To do this skip you need to get to Friendly Level 1 @ 13-13.5k, then do the rapport bomb with 16 Legendary Rapport Items.
Hi there, are you not allowed to progress rapport without the required virtue even at Friendly 1? My understanding is that you are locked out after reaching Friendly 2 but you can go up to the edge of Friendly 1/2 border. Thanks!
You can move up to Friendly 1 if you have the requirement for the threshold a pink quest where you talk to an old man on the island. If your virtues are really low you can't do that quest, but I think the stats required for it aren't too extreme.
I don't see anything about NEEDING rapport in order to build the ship. You mentioned you need it to get the blueprints to build the ship. But as soon as you buy the item from Belrod you can use it to obtain the ship.
I give you a thumbs up for mentioning the rapport part - unfortunately a month too late. Meanwhile I have all the parts for the ship, can't build it because I didn't know then that I need to raise the relationship with Blackfang to trusted. Since this will take a while, I will get Eibern's Wound in the meantime.
Hi, do you know what is the best ship skin to use for raw speed? I know the hermida song one is good but I dont care about the boosting when afk because I am usually at my computer when sailing
Sry for late reply, been busy with work/taxes. Hermida's Song is still best even manually using it because it can gives you more fast sailing boosts when using boost.
Hi sorry for late reply, I've been quite swamped. I am not sure if I can get such a guide out in a timely manner but Estoque is a very good choice for ship. Many KR users have Estoque ships at lvl 10 for all the sailing missions. You should get Cals, Purpuring, and Niera. (They all provide different resist, so mix/match as needed)
im out here struggling for pirate coins but we shall push on luckily i already have 280 charisma and the rest in the low 300s so we good on the rapport. with the timers being off this is going to be very annoying to farm out. gl guys.
@@ThatYiGuy I think I figured it out. I completed the quest for the pirate certificate but still working on the Pirate Star: Astray. I think that quest will give me the operational manual. I'll know in five more days.
Thanks for the video, it is really usefull (y) I have a question. Can I use 2 identical sailors? for example, 2 relic Baraka? What about if I have my Astray at lvl 7. Or they could be the same, but diferent rarity?
You can't have the exact same same sailor twice because you're only allowed to purchase 1 per roster. But you can have it in different rarities. So you can't have 2 relic Barakas, but you can have 1 relic Baraka and 1 legendary Baraka equipped in your crew. I personally have relic Cals and legendary Cals in my Estoque crew.
@@azul5424 thanks for the info. I got my Astray yesterday and I'm thinking about who I should choose for the 4th sailor when my ship gets lvl 7. Maybe a Leg Baraka for stats... p.d. I have the merchant from Yorn, so I guess I need to wait. Do you know how much Leg Baraka costs?
I have my Astray currently lvl 7 with the following crew: - Blackfang (Relic) - Barakas (Relic) - Wilhelm (Relic) - Wilhelm (Legendary) Honestly Idk if I should change the legendary Wilhelm for a different one or not, I also have Fordin (Rare) and Blackfang (Epic), any suggestions? :D
Hello my friend, just a question. I have the first ship upgraded to level 10, it's fast and works well on all types of seas. I currently have about 200,000 pirate coins and I wonder if I should farm another 100,000 to get the Astray, and not to mention that I'll have to do the whole upgrade. Do you think it is really worth to get the Astray ship?
I'd say the best ship which will give you biggest benefit across all water types is the Estoque. Yes ships like the Astray will give you great speed but it's such a long term investment to get it in an optimal state that you might as well focus on the best all rounder in the mean time.
Corusame summed it up really well. There's no one ship that does everything super well. Ghostship is good in that it can specialize for one use that no other ship can, but in term of other uses it's not as good as Estoque/Astray.
style edit: you don't neccesseraly need to purchase the tear of abyss for sun coins, you can always grind out your sea bounties out p.p.s. even with the relic crew you won't have the ship maxed out, what you want to do is get the last tier upgrade of your compass which comes with 90 island souls
I did a video comparing the diff ships. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR0SEvPAoyxAi2Rd4TYyVOp2haOoASk8ZtVxbvifH02-IMhtQ63Q0TFA2NljgGc5izQU-t5zQaalV30/pubhtml The comparison is at lvl 5, but that already tops off at max speed. But in term of lvl 10 ships, Estoque vs Astray will have Estoque come out on top in term of doing general content. (due to having slightly higher resistance to dangers), and Astray being able to travel 15% ish faster between the Blackfang ability/Better Boosts etc. In term of cost Estoque is much much much more affordable though, which is why it's the meta for people to go for lvl 10 Estoque in other servers. (But a lot of people also go for lvl 10 Astray for the coolness factor/flex)
Trader Ship outside port at Rohendel if I remember correctly, there are 2 different ones that rotate though, you might have to check in different times to find the right one.
For traveling around you will be fine(you'll be super fast). But for doing the hardest events, it might be a little rough on the resist with only 2 orca crew slots.
Hey, I was just wounding if you or anybody knew how I can get the Timber Struck by Lighting needed to upgrade to level 8. I've been looking at the Spearfish Hunting Guild vessel and can't seem to see it when they come by. maybe it's offered on 1 island only? IDK. I was hoping you or someone might know and help me out.
can someone explain to me a part which i do not understand.i am almost at 260 charisma and once i have it do i need to still get 77k rapport points with blackfang or no?
For Astray unfortunately you'll likely want the crew slots if you want to participate in activities. Astray's resist isn't as good as Estoques so need Wilhelm's to make up for it.
What I like the most with your content is that you not only provide all the information needed to complete a task, but you also go in depth of methods, recourses, and time taken to complete it.

Seconded!!! I've been bookmarking your stuff for future reference, unlike other guides!
yup, other guides are simply not enough, not in depth enough or simply missing the most important thing (for me at least)- The Blackfang rapport.
FYI For the "She drifts, Sea gifts" una's task: the Arthetine and Yorn coop sailing events always start with the "Pull it together" event (i.e. the one you need for the una's task)
Added to doc and credited you, thank you. This should be helpful to others.
Yorn too? I was just doing the arthetibe one, and when its too late to do, i just autocomplete it... good to know that yorn works too
@@Y4ngCP Yeah but 1 day per week arthetine and yorn are both at 11:30pm server time (rip)
It sometimes shows up as the last part of Punika sailing so worth a try if you already missed Arth/Yorn.

After getting the 3 relic crew, which else do u suggest to get? the epic/legendary copy of them or other ones? Thank you :)
I would get Barakas for speed, and use purple blackfang too.
Does anyone have any recommendation where to do sailing coop? I tried so many in the last week but it never happened to be the right one for the commission. I only need to finish once so I can use the instant finish things :(
Arthrtine and Yorn ones should always have it as the first co op
the skill of blackfang ( tailwind) works together/combining with two blackfangs( epic and relic) ? or only the highest skill works (lvl 3) ?
skill will only use the highest lvl one. The stats will all work(speed, resists etc)
i appreciate you effort!
thanks :)
@ThatYiGuy Wait....you can kill the world boss multiple times and each time, you get +1 virtue stat? I thought it was just a 1 time reward.
nono each world boss if it's in the adventurer's tome, will give stat the first time it's killed.
Thanks for your efforts! As for someone who's almost done with getting the ship, I did not realize how much work there is left to be done. One question I do have is: How much performance am I losing for not going for Black Fang Rapport?
100% performance lost because you can't get the ship without blackfang trusted
@@rinse261 ahh! Okay
the blackfang thing has not been mentioned by anyone else ive watched. not sure im even gonna actively try for this ship anymore. too much work an how much sailing do you actually do?
You can skip the 260 charisma check if you are already at 190+. 190 is relatively simple to get to, but i imagine 260 Charisma is much harder for folks.
To do this skip you need to get to Friendly Level 1 @ 13-13.5k, then do the rapport bomb with 16 Legendary Rapport Items.
Ah yes 16 leg rapport.
Hi there, are you not allowed to progress rapport without the required virtue even at Friendly 1? My understanding is that you are locked out after reaching Friendly 2 but you can go up to the edge of Friendly 1/2 border. Thanks!
You can move up to Friendly 1 if you have the requirement for the threshold a pink quest where you talk to an old man on the island. If your virtues are really low you can't do that quest, but I think the stats required for it aren't too extreme.
I don't see anything about NEEDING rapport in order to build the ship. You mentioned you need it to get the blueprints to build the ship. But as soon as you buy the item from Belrod you can use it to obtain the ship.
the quest you purchase for 300k Pirate coin will require you to have Blackfang at Trusted in order to finish it.
@@ThatYiGuy Oooh. Yiikes. Thanks for clearing that up
I give you a thumbs up for mentioning the rapport part - unfortunately a month too late.
Meanwhile I have all the parts for the ship, can't build it because I didn't know then that I need to raise the relationship with Blackfang to trusted. Since this will take a while, I will get Eibern's Wound in the meantime.
I feel you bro. I blew every single legendary rapport item to push Sasha for the giants heart.
Hi, do you know what is the best ship skin to use for raw speed? I know the hermida song one is good but I dont care about the boosting when afk because I am usually at my computer when sailing
Sry for late reply, been busy with work/taxes. Hermida's Song is still best even manually using it because it can gives you more fast sailing boosts when using boost.
Amazing guide, thanks a lot ! Could you make a sailor guide for the Estoque and if it's worth to get it to level 10 ?
Hi sorry for late reply, I've been quite swamped. I am not sure if I can get such a guide out in a timely manner but Estoque is a very good choice for ship. Many KR users have Estoque ships at lvl 10 for all the sailing missions. You should get Cals, Purpuring, and Niera. (They all provide different resist, so mix/match as needed)
im out here struggling for pirate coins but we shall push on luckily i already have 280 charisma and the rest in the low 300s so we good on the rapport. with the timers being off this is going to be very annoying to farm out. gl guys.
I have Blackfang to Trusted and bought the Pirate Star: Astray quest, completed the quest but never received the operational manual. Any advice?
You didn't get it in inventory upon completion of quest? It should give 2.5k silver and the manual itself. did you have a full inventory?
@@ThatYiGuy I think I figured it out. I completed the quest for the pirate certificate but still working on the Pirate Star: Astray. I think that quest will give me the operational manual. I'll know in five more days.
Just saw the written guide link from reddit, thank you! Also, which ship skin would u recommend for Astray?
I actually rly like the Hermida's song. The auto boost feature is fantastic for just alt tabbing while your ship travels around
@@ThatYiGuy if u have the second boost gauge unlocked, does the skin fill up both ?
@@AQ-yn5ns did you figure it out yet? Estoque has been sitting at 5 forever and Astray takes another few days :D
Would love to know that aswell
@@nex4613 It only refills one gauge but still I think its the best skin for Astray we have so far in game
@@AQ-yn5ns aww okay, thanks alot for the fast response! :)
Really detailed guide, thanks for that. Btw which ship skin do you think is the best for the Astray?
He answered it further down the comment section.
I really like Hermida's, it's just a very solid safe choice for all uses.
Thanks for the video, it is really usefull (y)
I have a question. Can I use 2 identical sailors? for example, 2 relic Baraka? What about if I have my Astray at lvl 7. Or they could be the same, but diferent rarity?
You can't have the exact same same sailor twice because you're only allowed to purchase 1 per roster. But you can have it in different rarities.
So you can't have 2 relic Barakas, but you can have 1 relic Baraka and 1 legendary Baraka equipped in your crew.
I personally have relic Cals and legendary Cals in my Estoque crew.
@@azul5424 thanks for the info. I got my Astray yesterday and I'm thinking about who I should choose for the 4th sailor when my ship gets lvl 7. Maybe a Leg Baraka for stats...
p.d. I have the merchant from Yorn, so I guess I need to wait.
Do you know how much Leg Baraka costs?
@@Nano_Yan Hi, Yorn merchant sells legendary Barakas for 7870 yellow seals
@@azul5424 Thanks you sir.
I have my Astray currently lvl 7 with the following crew:
- Blackfang (Relic)
- Barakas (Relic)
- Wilhelm (Relic)
- Wilhelm (Legendary)
Honestly Idk if I should change the legendary Wilhelm for a different one or not, I also have Fordin (Rare) and Blackfang (Epic), any suggestions? :D
You can swap out Wilhelm for another fast crew like 2nd blackfang etc, if you're not doing event where you need the resist :O but so far looks good
You have to get all the crew for specific sea events because you cant have blackfang in all of the events
Hello my friend, just a question. I have the first ship upgraded to level 10, it's fast and works well on all types of seas. I currently have about 200,000 pirate coins and I wonder if I should farm another 100,000 to get the Astray, and not to mention that I'll have to do the whole upgrade. Do you think it is really worth to get the Astray ship?
for the crew, can you equip a relic level and a legendary level at the same time, example Blackfang?
Yes you can equip same name different rarity.
Which ship is the overall best ship in the game? Don’t know for which ship I should go for. I thought the ghost ship is the best one
I'd say the best ship which will give you biggest benefit across all water types is the Estoque. Yes ships like the Astray will give you great speed but it's such a long term investment to get it in an optimal state that you might as well focus on the best all rounder in the mean time.
The Eibern's Wound ship will only help once a week for when you do the Ghost ship event. For everything else it's pretty average.
Corusame summed it up really well.
There's no one ship that does everything super well. Ghostship is good in that it can specialize for one use that no other ship can, but in term of other uses it's not as good as Estoque/Astray.
I think the most difficult thing for me at the moment, is the virtue part...
style
edit: you don't neccesseraly need to purchase the tear of abyss for sun coins, you can always grind out your sea bounties out
p.p.s. even with the relic crew you won't have the ship maxed out, what you want to do is get the last tier upgrade of your compass which comes with 90 island souls
which is arguably much harder to do
@@xenky2272 i didn't say it was easier, i just said there exists an alternative
Could you by chance do a video on the level 10 estique? I’ve heard that the general view is you either go with that or the astray.
I did a video comparing the diff ships.
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR0SEvPAoyxAi2Rd4TYyVOp2haOoASk8ZtVxbvifH02-IMhtQ63Q0TFA2NljgGc5izQU-t5zQaalV30/pubhtml
The comparison is at lvl 5, but that already tops off at max speed. But in term of lvl 10 ships, Estoque vs Astray will have Estoque come out on top in term of doing general content. (due to having slightly higher resistance to dangers), and Astray being able to travel 15% ish faster between the Blackfang ability/Better Boosts etc.
In term of cost Estoque is much much much more affordable though, which is why it's the meta for people to go for lvl 10 Estoque in other servers. (But a lot of people also go for lvl 10 Astray for the coolness factor/flex)
@@ThatYiGuy oh awesome thanks a ton for responding!
How do you get the Pirate Knot Rope and so on to upgrade from 5 to 6? Merchant ship at rohendel?
Trader Ship outside port at Rohendel if I remember correctly, there are 2 different ones that rotate though, you might have to check in different times to find the right one.
I thought you get the blueprint from Una's reputation just like the certificate?
Can i use the same skip from friendly 1, between 13000 to 13500, and give her 3 relic rapport items instead?
That won't work unfortunately. For Relic skip you need 4 of the same Relic, and gift bomb her when she's Friendly 1 5000- 5500.
i have legendary barakas, relic blackfang, and planning on using orca with astray. you think i need to buy relic barakas?
For traveling around you will be fine(you'll be super fast). But for doing the hardest events, it might be a little rough on the resist with only 2 orca crew slots.
Is the ship event not only ones per week?
only Ghostship is once a week. The co-ops you can do many times.
I keep hearing about how silver poor everyone is. Will the extra costs to durability be worth it for astray over estoque in general use?
Silver is definitely a concern in the late game, but the repair won't be a huge part of your overall expenses lategame, so it shouldn't be too bad.
Hey, I was just wounding if you or anybody knew how I can get the Timber Struck by Lighting needed to upgrade to level 8. I've been looking at the Spearfish Hunting Guild vessel and can't seem to see it when they come by. maybe it's offered on 1 island only? IDK. I was hoping you or someone might know and help me out.
I believe it's in one of the rotations for Yorn Guild Vesssel.
@@ThatYiGuy much love brother ❤️
Do you know are we getting adventure tome completion for field boss even we kill it after finishing daily field boss run ?
Adventure tome yes I believe so, No for drops/Welcome challenge :)
@@ThatYiGuy Thanks for info yes its not count for welcome challenge this was why I asked :D
Mind tell me where we can find thr required rapport points for each npc please?
papunika.com/affinity/ This is a great site to find rapport info
Why do you need the rapport Blackfang over the Relic Blackfang?
The quest to get the Astray requires you to have Blackfang with Trusted Rapport.
can someone explain to me a part which i do not understand.i am almost at 260 charisma and once i have it do i need to still get 77k rapport points with blackfang or no?
if you can get to the charisma required, it's always better to just max her rapport normally. You still have to get her to Trusted State.
Is it crappy like the ghost ship? By that I mean does the durability go down faster, has less resistance then the original?
It's not as sturdy as the Estoque. Estoque is awesome for endgame, for every activity, Astray is just fast, and more of a status symbol to have.
@@ThatYiGuy thank you for answering, and great content 👏 ❤️
You didn't talk about the skins 😭
I'm unsure what to use and if the orca skin worths it with 2 crew members
For Astray unfortunately you'll likely want the crew slots if you want to participate in activities. Astray's resist isn't as good as Estoques so need Wilhelm's to make up for it.
can you get the relic rarity crewmembers without getting the previous ones?
Yes, each of those crews are considered different at different rarity.
