DO NOT USE CARGO TO REPAIR SHIP (if you have positive renown)

[hanmbi]

!this only applies to people with positive/neutral renown!

@TheTom

400 both, it’s bugged rn but it should be like this tbh

cargo repairs 400 durability (sources? the quoted text above this one)
cargo costs 50 galleons
thats 1 galleon for 8 durability

repair hammer repairs 25 durability for 3 galleons
thats 1 galleon for 8+1/3 durability
bronze repair hammer repairs double of that with double costs, so same efficiency

(bronze) repair hammer is more efficient than cargo
also the cash is in your inv so if you die you dont lose 2.5k cargo worth of galleons (you either dont lose any cash or you lose only a small percentage)

only use cargo if you really need durability fast just dont use cargo while in dark sea

why doesnt it apply to people with negative renown? because they steal and dont pay galleons

[maki]

well, while you are correct, the difference is so miniscule it probably isn’t ever worth considering; and it does make sense:

you gain convenience and bulk with cargo, at an extremely slight loss on efficiency (you’re losing ~16 durability per 50 galleons spent) which you probably won’t ever notice

and every 150 galleons (50/25 hammer hits, or 3 cargo) you earn 50 more durability from hammers. it’s negligible.

man’s phrasing it like this is some life-changing revelation

[walksanator]

and what about the cost of shipwright repairs

[ClashMaster273]

doesnt cargo repair 800 if its bought?

[Divanochi]

400 if bought, and supposed to be 200 if stolen

[hanmbi]

some extra durability is better than none
also i would rather having a slow and efficient repair than near instant and (slightly) less efficient repair + i wont lose 2k worth of galleons spent on cargo if i die in dark sea

[hanmbi]

you think there are shipwrights in the dark sea? but yes you are correct, shipwright repairs are even cheaper

[Zipher]

Adding it to this because in most cases, yes. You should not be using cargo for general repairs, rather it should be used as an emergency backup if you get ambushed by atlantean ships while exploring islands or you do not have enough galleons to repair.

[Mortal]

Its purpose is to save you during naval combat with atlantean’s ships.
I hope im not alone who was saved by it atleast once.

[TheTom]

i hope its changed to 400 stolen and 800 bought, 200 is nothing

[TheoreticalExistence]

forget that.
Just make cargo repair % of max hull durability.
