Player-owned port/Upgrades

Not to be confused with ship upgrades.

Port upgrades consist of buildings and decorations that 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 north-west 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. The gossip voyages are highly rewarding, and they will replace whatever is in the player's third voyage slot. This upgrade affects the port upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Office

The office, located north-east of the entrance portal, houses Duncan and John Strum after the tutorial. Office upgrades unlock more ships, which can be used to send out more voyages simultaneously. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Image	Office type	Effect	Cost
	Dilapidated office	No bonus	Free
	Refitted office	Unlocks an additional ship slot.	150
	Renovated office	Unlocks an additional ship slot.	3,000 4,000
	Refurbished office	Unlocks an additional ship slot.	8,000 10,000

Workshop

The workshop, located in the north-east corner of the port, is unlocked 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, for example, rune bars cannot be smithed on the anvil.

Image	Workshop type	Effect	Cost

	Refitted workshop	Allows you to make reward items in your workshop. Increases XP earned from workshop skill locations by 5%.	2,000 500

Shipwright

The shipwright, located in the south-west corner of the port, improves the total adversity percentages of all of the player's ships. The bonuses are applied to the ship's total stats (including those added by the crew and captain), not just the stats of the ship itself.

Warehouse

The warehouse, located in the north-west corner of the port, is the storage building for all of the player's goods. Upgraded warehouses give greater bonuses to voyage rewards. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. The warehouse also is home to Felix The Black Marketeer, who allows players to spend coins on resource goods, such as Bamboo and Chimes. He can also repair ships instantly for a fee, negating the normal waiting period.

Totem hotspots

Main article: Totem (Player-owned port)

There are six 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. Building a totem will not unlock the totem for future use. Should you choose to demolish or replace a totem, it cannot be restored without spending the required resources to rebuild it, even in the same slot.

• 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.

Image	Totem type	Effect	Cost
	Telescope	Increases the chance of receiving scroll voyages. 1 Telescope: +4% chance 2 Telescopes: +7% chance 3 Telescopes: +9% chance 4 Telescopes: +10% chance	3,000 2,000
	Parrot	Increases the chance of receiving XP voyages. 1 Parrot: +4% chance 2 Parrots: +7% chance 3 Parrots: +9% chance 4 Parrots: +10% chance	3,000 2,000
	Cherry tree	Increases the amount of resources rewarded from a voyage. Does not apply to trade goods. 1 Cherry Tree: +4% extra 2 Cherry Trees: +7% extra 3 Cherry Trees: +9% extra 4 Cherry Trees: +10% extra	3,000 2,000
	Pandora's Box	Increases the chance of receiving a random event in the port. 1 Pandora's Box: +4% chance 2 Pandora's Boxes: +7% chance 3 Pandora's Boxes: +9% chance 4 Pandora's Boxes: +10% chance	3,000 2,000
	Jade statue	Increases the chance of receiving trade good voyages. 1 Jade Statue: +4% chance 2 Jade Statues: +7% chance 3 Jade Statues: +9% chance 4 Jade Statues: +10% chance	3,000 2,000
	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 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 two hints at once if two clue-voyage-giving adventurers are in port on a day the map table provides clues. In this situation, two hints will be given, one for each adventurer.	3,000 2,000

Icon hotspots

Main article: Icon (Player-owned port)

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 1,000 chimes to build. The player may build more than one of the same kind of icon. 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 does the player need the corresponding skill, but they must also 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.

Image	Icon type	Effect	Requirement

Portal hotspot

Main article: Portal (Player-owned port)

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 the Ornate Portal is purchased for 250 bamboo and then the portal is switched back to the Standard Portal design, it will cost 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.

Image	Portal type	Cost
	Standard	Free
	Ornate	250
	Nautical	1,000
	Mystical	2,000
	Skeletal	5,000
	Jade	15,000
	Terracotta	20,000

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 14 January 2013 (Update):
  • The Shipwright building no longer gives the tier 4 shipwright bonus to ships with a tier 1 or 2 shipwright building.

Trivia

• The examine text of the trap icon is "It's a trap!", referencing the well-known Star Wars quote by Admiral Ackbar.
