How does their skills work?
Depends on their skills.

• If they have language(s) (they always have at least 1 language), u can use their language as your own language, and u can read from archives with it.
• Some of their skills will give +1 to your skill. This will work only if you and your aide has the same skills.
• They also has special skills that you cant learn, like obstruction. This skills are unique and really useful depends on your playing style and needs.

When can I have my aide?

1. 1st aide you can have when you reached level 20 of any.
2. 2nd aide when you reached level 40 of any
3. 3rd, 4th, and 5th depends on your Quarters rank. Better Quarters will gives your aide place to rest I think. XD

Can I give my aide a ship?

• Once your aide trust reached 50, you can choose only 1 aide as aide captain and give them a ship to use. This will give more benefits like, more cargo, or call them to aid you in battle.
• Your aide will gain trust point when you sailing. However, I found out its not actually 30 days sailing will give you 1 trust point. Its more like higher trust point need longer sailing days. Or you can use item Proof of Trust, this will give 1 trust point for each.

How do they level?

1. They gain 100% exp from anything you do. So if you got 100 trade exp, they will have it too.
2. They also gain exp from sailing each day. Each duty gives different portion exp.

• • Navigation > 100% to adventure
  • Lookout > 50% adventure, 50% maritime
  • Storekeeper > 100% trade
  • Paymaster > 50% trade, 50% adventure
  • Lieutenant > 100% maritime
  • Surgeon > 50% maritime, 50% trade

Tips to grow your Aide traits better

Your aide has chance to grow all traits every time they level up.But how?
Example your aide has 50 surgeon trait, this mean your aide need to sail 50 days in that duty to raise the chance for it grow on the next level up. This is not easy, especialy if u want to see your aide has 100 traits for all job.
We can replace the sailing requirement using aide food, each aide food replace 5 days at sea. But, for 50 trait, that mean we need 10 aide food, that would be expensive.
There are 2 ways to do this:

1. Every time your aide almost level up, you feed them until they full. How do we know they full? Easy, they will stop talking! XD
2. 2nd way is, my way. ^^ I keep rolling my aide duty for every 2 days sailing (some players prefer 5 days at sea). When their traits still has ??? mark, I use the 1st way (feed them until they stop talking). When their traits still < 50, i give them 5 aide foods. When their traits > 50, i give them 10 aide foods.

Important thing, don’t you ever use the bonus traits. If u use it, that mean they need more aide food.

When is the best time to use my aide bonus traits?
Use it to make all traits become 100 at once. Example:

• Navigation 90
• Lookout 95
• Storekeeper 90
• Paymaster 100
• Lieutenant 80
• Surgeon 100

You need 45 bonus trait to make all of the traits fully 100. so if you didnt have 45 bonus traits, keep it until next level up.
