Avast, ye scholar-scallywags! Gather 'round and lend an ear, for I've a tale of a most curious port of call—not a den of thieves, but a hall of learning! They call it Oxford University, a place where a salty dog like yerself can earn mighty skills and boosters to rule the waves. Mark this well: by the time ye graduate, ye'll be able to wield five such skills at once, and they stack, by thunder!
What Be This Oxford?
Think of it not as a prison of books, but a forge for yer legend. Here's what plunder awaits:
- Make yer ship slice through the brine faster.
- Turn a better profit at the market or in the workshop.
- Boost yer rank in any skill ye please.
- Pile on easy experience and fame just for sailin'.
Aye, and much more. Don't be a fool and wait 'til yer grizzled—these powers are for the taking now!
Where Do I Find It?
Ye'll find this city of scholars inland from London. Seek out the chariot fellow in that great port, and he'll carry ye there by land. Simple as that.
How Do I Sign the Articles?
First, ye must prove yerself a well-rounded seadog. The professors demand:
- Adventure Level 5
- Trade Level 5
- Battle Level 5
If ye lack the "English Language" skill, the bar be set higher. Best get it from Erasmus in Amsterdam or Duke Farnese in Seville before ye make for London.
Once in Oxford, find the Professor inside the university. He'll start ye on a tale—no wrong answers here, matey. Then, ye pick a thesis. For a greenhand, I say take "Scholarship Orientation." It's a gentle sail that grants a skill givin' ye 20% more college credits for every thesis ye complete after. A fine first haul!
The Path to Graduation
Ye advance by two means: completing thesis submissions and improving yer base skill ranks. Visit the professor in Oxford after certain milestones to unlock new, grander thesis buildings.
- 12 submissions unlock the 2-star building.
- 30 submissions unlock the 3-star building.
- 50 submissions unlock the 4-star building—the last one.
Graduation comes after over 100 submissions, grantin' ye access to all five skill slots and up to 60,000 college credits to spend.
Choosing Yer Skills
Most deckhands crave the "Increase Ship Speed" skills. But the true rule is this: find skills that enhance what yer character does best. Worry not—ye can change 'em as easy as changin' sails. It's expected ye will, dependin' on the wind and yer whims!
To equip 'em, go to yer Skills menu, click "College," then "Skill Settings." Drag the skills ye own from the left to the slots on the right. That's where the magic happens.
A Bounty of Skills Await
The university's arsenal is vast, caterin' to every type of adventurer, trader, and brawler. From aidin' yer searchin' and bargainin' to strengthenin' yer cannons and cutlass, the list is longer than a sea serpent. The full guide holds the complete manifest, sorted for yer pleasure.
So there ye have it, the bones of the Oxford venture. A chance to sharpen yer mind to match yer cutlass and fill yer pockets with power. If ye hunger for the full chart—every grindin' trick, every credit-boostin' secret, and the map to every last skill—then set yer course for the link below. I'll show ye how to seize this prize proper.
