Crew / Upgrades

Crew and Upgrades

The main cost and profit to be made on the ocean comes from salvage. Each crew member has pips for each stat that increase when they’re hired on a boat. Their base stat is at level 1 and increases up to level 10. The max stat for each pip from level 1 to 10 is 1.5.

Base stat × 1.5 = fully leveled stat

Example: Legendary Carpentry with -14% repair cooldown is 21% at max level (14 × 1.5).

Generally speaking, the most valuable crew will have all their pips in one desirable stat.
