Avast, ye scholarly sea dog! So ye’ve heard whispers of the Boston Academic Association, have ye? Mark this well: it be the Oxford University for your Job, a place to unlock the true, fearsome potential of your chosen trade. Think of it as a grand library where the books are written by the sweat of your own brow.
What Be This Place?
In Boston's halls, ye don't just do a job, ye research it. Speak to the learned NPC, Franklin, to get your first thesis. Then, ye must be in the corresponding job and perform its duties—be it fishing, fighting, or trading—to earn "pages" and complete your research. Ye can report your findings back to Franklin or to any Mediator in the wide world, a mighty convenient piece of magic.
The Prize & The Path
Why bother, ye ask? For Boston Skills and Credits, that's why! Each completed thesis grants a submission. Rack up enough, and ye unlock grander buildings and more powerful theses:
- ★ The first hall is open from the start.
- ★★ Unlocks after your 12th submission.
- ★★★ Unlocks after your 30th submission.
- ★★★★ Unlocks after your 50th submission.
The Credits ye earn here mingle with those from Oxford, and they be the key to increasing your precious Skill Slots. A worthy treasure for any captain's coffers.
A Word to the Wise
Franklin remembers every job ye’ve ever held. To get a new thesis, ye must have no active research—clear your slate with Oxford or drop it if ye must! My favored method for a swift haul? Fishing for sharks off Cape Town. 'Tis fine for building your submission count and filling your credit purse, provided your skill is high enough to not lose your line to the beasts.
The skills ye can unlock are as varied as the ports of the world, split amongst Adventure, Trade, and Battle callings. From an Archaeologist's Growth to a Pirate's Style, there be a power here for every soul aboard.
So there ye have it, the lay of the land. The Boston Academic Association be a forge for your profession's soul, offering power and prestige to those with the grit to see the work through.
If the scent of ink and ambition fires your blood, and ye crave the full chart with every buried secret and cunning trick, then set your course for the link below. The complete guide awaits.
