Currently I have three deckhands done: Navigator, Cannoneer, and Shipbuilder. That leaves the question of what my fourth deckhand’s profession should be.
Enchanter seems the most useful, with the damage reduction, though I don’t know how long that duration for it is.
Chef is just a convenient thing, as it cooks the fish, but I really don’t know if that’s worth a slot.
And merchant, well… it doesn’t seem all too useful, honestly.
At higher tiers, chefs spam seasonings on the fish to make the recovery status effect last a year and a half.
You’re usually getting between 6 and 30 minutes of recovery 2 or 3 per fish, which you may notice is probably longer than its gonna take for them to catch another.
Its either Chef or Enchanter, depends on what problem you run into more:
Go for chef if you’re dying in normal combat in the dark seas.
Go for enchanter if you’re dying because your ship sinks in the dark seas (shipbuilder is better).
no lol, I was exaggerating.
Usually around 30 minutes buff, but going upwards of 2 hours, which is honestly incredibly good considering it is a 1 ingredient cost meal.
