Arr, so ye wish to master the art of Survival, do ye? A worthy ambition for any captain who dares the deep blue. 'Tis not a skill for the faint of heart, mark this well. It be the art of enduring the sea's cruelest whims when yer larder be empty and yer casks run dry.
The Heart of the Matter
This be no idle pastime. To train it, ye must sail without food or water. But here's the trick of it: the sea won't even begin to teach ye her harsh lessons until ye've been aboard for a certain number of days, which grows longer as yer skill improves. Ye must watch for the sign in yer skill ledger, then cast yer last provisions overboard to truly begin the grind.
What Ye'll Need
- The Survival skill itself, ready to be tested.
- A ship's job that favors the hardy soul. Adventurin', Explorin', or Salvagin' will serve ye best and speed the learning.
Why Endure This Torment?
Why, for the glory of it! And for the power to stare down disaster. A high Survival can prevent the plague from takin' yer crew, even when ye're well-supplied. It makes ye a master of misfortune, turnin' certain doom into mere inconvenience. Ye can even combine this grim voyage with other tasks, like a long trade run or buildin' yer strength at the oars.
A Taste of the Method
I'll not chart the whole course here, but I'll give ye a whiff of the salt. Ye'll want a slow, wounded ship in safe waters, a careful count of days, and a stomach for disaster. Manage the mutinies and quarrels, let the lesser woes fester, and keep yer one loyal sailor fed just enough to hold the wheel. It be a dance with danger, but a profitable one.
So, me hearty, does the call of the empty horizon stir yer blood? If ye hunger for the full chart—every last secret on days required, disaster management, and the perfect grindin' ship—then make way to the complete log below. I'll show ye how to seize this skill proper.
A ready supply of veils from bonanza boxes or a big stack of cat-o'nine tails is good too.
