Arr, so ye wish to master the art of Frugality, do ye? A wise choice for any captain who looks to stretch their ship's stores across the vast, empty blue. 'Tis not a skill for every deckhand, but for a true sea dog on a long voyage, it means the difference between feast and famine.
What Be Frugality?
Think of it as the gentle art of making your hardtack and salt pork last. When the skill is active, your crew consumes less from the hold each day. Mark this well: ye gain proficiency only while the skill is actively running, not from mere button presses. The good news? Ye don't even need to be under sail to train it.
Why Bother, Ye Ask?
For freedom, matey! With a high rank in Frugality, ye can chart unknown waters for months on end without scurrying back to port. It grants ye the patience to wait for perfect trade winds or to outlast a rival blockading a rich port. It is the skill of a patient, cunning captain.
Getting Started
To learn its secrets proper, ye'll need to take on a job that respects a tight purse. The best roles for a swift grind be:
- Ocean Explorer
- Interpreter
- Merchant Mentor
- Accountant
Secure one of these posts before ye begin, or ye'll be at it 'til the barnacles grow on yer boots.
A Taste of the Method
The core of it is simple: find a safe spot outside a port, stock your hold to the beams with food, and let the skill run. Ye can do this at anchor! For the finer points—like which ship fittings to use, how to manage your crew, and the smartest way to stay at sea—that's a tale for the full chart.
If ye hunger for the full chart and every last secret to mastering this thrifty art, make way to the complete guide below. I'll show ye how to squeeze a silver from a stone and sail the oceans as a true master of provision.
