Harbor Tavern

[Maximus XIII]

Since we're all being forced to be deck-swabbing scurvy-ridden captains can anyone tell me what each of these are good for, and how many I should have on a ship? And is there any difference between Pirate #1 and #2? 60 total crew should be a good number to play with.

[DARK REAPER]

Male Pirates are best if you have Good Ship
They board and help loot more.
Female Pirates help Defend against ship seiziers
so if a weak ship more females are best.
Mates are worthless.
As for Carpenters, for me they aren't worth
150 jewels a week.
I use Gold Carpenters.

Hope this helped.

now i had seen else where that its mates that help loot but i have tried some and saw no difference in loots with or without them. and I concur the gold carpenters last a week and do just fine, but only 3 per ship is allowed. It would seen to only really be useful if you are attacking often with ship and dont want to always pay for the total repairs.

also its in a long old thread I believe by shanks in faq's perhaps but male pirates +3 seize +1 defense
female pirates add +2 seize +2 defense, and def is listed as armor on ship stats.
