Have you ever wanted to captain a fleet of ships? Have you ever wanted to scour the seas searching for rare and valuable loot? Player-Owned Ports allows you to become the captain of your own fleet of ships, searching the fabled Eastern Lands and returning with some of the most unique items in Gielinor. However, where there is great rewards, there is great risk lurking in the shadows. It takes strategy to hire the ideal crew, build the sturdiest ship, and prepare for the dangerous voyage to reap your rewards in this real time mini-game.

You can start your port by going into the portal at the north side of Port Sarim.

Absolutely no items are required in order to play this minigame, although for convenience you may wish to get an Explorer's ring 3 (or Explorer's ring 4) for the unlimited cabbage patch teleports, which is relatively quick and close to the Port Portal.

NPC	Feature(s)
The Partner	He is the first person you will speak with at your port. After a brief conversation, you will begin the tutorial. After the tutorial, he will reside in the office.
The Navigator	You can obtain another Captain's log from him and access your port management interface.
The Black Marketeer	He will sell you certain port resources everyday for coins. You can also repair your boat, if it gets damaged on a voyage, quickly by paying him coins.
Meg	She will act as a weekly distraction and diversion in the port. She will ask advice for three different scenarios. In order to achieve the greatest reward, you should answer with the most helpful advice relevant to the scenario. This distraction and diversion resets at the start of the new game week (00:00 (GMT) Wednesday).
The Barmaid	She will offer you a weekly voyage every Thursday. You can also buy beer from her for one coin each.

There are certain random events that will trigger when ships return from voyages. They will involve you playing as the NPCs in the port and assisting with certain tasks. After completion, you will be rewarded with certain ship effects that can improve stats of your ship for one voyage or items to add more crew members to be hired.

NPC	Event
The Barmaid	Last Orders To begin this event go to the bar In this event, you're required to play as the Barmaid and assist her in passing out beer to the patrons. You have 10 minutes to pass beer to 20 customers. You can only carry two beers at a time, but you can restock at the bar as many times as possible. The customers are located outside the bar, inside the bar, and on the upper level of the bar. After giving a beer to the customer, their give option will be removed so it's easy to remember who you have and have not given beer to.
The Black Marketeer	A Simple Favour To begin this event go to the warehouse In this event, you're required to play as the Black Marketeer and assist the assassins who come to visit him. You have to locate the assassin targets on the port in a crowd of people. The assassins will give you hints such as gender, clothing color, and clothing style to help you pick the correct person. There are five targets to find in total.

You must occupy your ships with crew members in order to set sail. You must have a captain and up to five crew members on each voyage. The captains and crew members have stats that should be taken into account when preparing for a voyage.

The captain is the only required crew member each voyage, meaning it is impossible to start a voyage without one. The captains can be recruited on the crew roster menu. You can only one hire captain per day and can only have a maximum of five captains hired at any given time. The captains stats are broken down into the four normal categories (morale, seafaring, combat, and speed). Captains can also gain traits through voyages to boost certain stats, you can have a maximum of four traits per captain.

The crew will play a large role on your success rate of a given voyage. You can have five crew members (plus one captain) per voyage, and a total of 25 crew members hired at a time. As with the captains, your crew have four base stats (morale, seafaring, combat, and speed). However, most crew members specialize in certain stats; this is indicated by the color of their avatar.

• Crew members with red features are more skilled in combat.
• Crew members with blue features are more skilled in seafaring.
• Crew members with green features are more skilled in morale.
• Crew members with purple features are more skilled in speed.
• Crew members with brown features have balanced stats.

There are certain crew members who can only be hired following certain voyages. You are given a total of 12 crew members per day to hire. It is important to plan your crew around your voyage; if you have a mission which requires more seafaring than you can obtain, you should try to obtain crew members who can fit your needs best. It should be noted that there are certain crew members who can only be obtained after completing voyages.

In order to be successful on your voyage, you must have a ship that can withstand the harsh conditions that your crew will face on the seas. Similar to the crew, your ships have their own stats based on how it is built and what upgrades have been purchased. You can upgrade four different aspects of the ship (Rams / Figureheads, Hulls, Deck Items, and Rudders). Changing the parts of your ship can either improve the likelihood of success or decrease likelihood of success based on the stats of the items.

Rams / Figureheads

The rams and figureheads change the front of the boats appearance. These can only affect the morale (figureheads) and combat (rams). The ram or figurehead should be based upon what voyage you will be partaking in. For example: If your voyage requires more combat than morale, you should set your ship up with the best ram you have unlocked. You can see an entire list of rams and figureheads below.

Hulls

The hull changes the outer appearance of your ship. The hulls change all four stats of your boat, but some hulls favor certain stats more than others; with that being said, you should always remember to look at all the sections of your ship individually before setting sail to ensure you have the stats required for each voyage. You can see an entire list of hulls below.

Deck Item 1/2

The deck items play a major role in affecting the stats of your ship. These items can either effect morale, combat, or seafaring. The deck items are split into 'Deck Item 1' and 'Deck Item 2', you do not have to purchase any item twice. You can use the same or different items for deck items. You can see an entire list of deck items below.

Rudders

The rudder can only change one stat of your ship, speed. This upgrade, while it may seem like a necessity to ensure faster voyages, should be purchased last due to the fact that speed has no effect on if a voyage is successful or unsuccessful. Many players may feel tempted to purchase the rudders too early, but you should remember that you have 24 hours to complete all your voyages. You should only purchase rudders if you have upgraded all the other items. You can see an entire list of rudders below.

There are certain buildings inside the port which will affect numerous aspects of the mini-game. By upgrading these buildings you can boost the amount of resources gained, increase the chance of getting certain missions, and even unlock a bank at your port. You can view full lists of all the upgrades and affects below.

After choosing your upgrades and crew, you're ready to set sail on your voyage. You will receive a set amount of normal voyages every day and a set number of special voyages. The normal voyages will reward you with port resources to use to upgrade your port and to hire more crew members. The special voyages will award you greater port resources, and some will progress you into unlocking adventurers who will help with your port.

Each voyage has its recommended stats listed at the bottom along with the chance of success. The chance of success will increase as you get closer to reaching the recommended stats listed. For example, if a voyage recommends you to have a combat stat of 1000, you should stack your boat in favor of combat to have the greatest success rate. If you cannot get a success rate of 100%, you should aim for at least +85%, it's personal preference on if you want to take a risk or be cautious. You can always wait for one voyage to end before starting a second one to obtain the greatest chance of success using all your crew available.

The speed of the voyage can also be altered using certain crew members or certain ship upgrades. The rudders in particular increase the speed of the voyage. There are certain crew members or even captains, who can boost the ships speed. It should be noted that speed will not increase your chance of success; it will just lower the estimated voyage time if you're in a pinch.

There are a few possibilities regarding the outcome of a voyage. The main outcome you aim for is success with no casualties and a high resource return. However, this is not always the case. You can fail voyages if your stats of the crew and boat are not ideal. This can lead to damage to the boat which may require time to repair. It may cost your crew members to die. This can impact future voyages in many ways, so you should always plan ahead instead of attempting to get the voyages done as quick as possible.

For each successful voyage you complete you will complete certain sections of the map. You will also gain certain amount of base resources based on the rewards listed when choosing a voyage. These reward amounts can be increased with certain upgrades. There are seven port resources that are used to upgrade ships, buildings, and hire workers, and five trade goods which can be used to create unlockable rewards.

Port Resources Chimes Bamboo Gunpowder - upon unlocking The Skull region Black slate - upon unlocking The Hook region Cherry wood - upon unlocking The Scythe region Jade - upon unlocking The Bowl region Stainless steel - upon unlocking The Pincers region

Trade Goods Ancient bones - used to create scrimshaws Plates - used to create melee armour Spices - used to cook Rocktail soup Lacquer - used to create ranged armour Chi globes - used to create magic armour

There are certain special voyages which will yield a scroll piece reward. These scrolls are used to create armour, pocket items called "scrimshaws", and Rocktail soup. Each scroll contains four pieces that must be collected; there are 20 scrolls and 80 pieces in total. After unlocking the Skull region, you can focus your crew's hunt on one scroll at a time through the port management screen.

The armour requires 85 Constitution and 85 Defence to wear. There is two different variations of the armour you can create; these being standard and superior. The standard armour can be traded between players, but it cannot be repaired once it degrades. The standard armour also has slightly lower stats than the superior. The superior armour cannot be traded once it has been created; however, the pieces of armour can be repaired once they are degraded using either port resources or coins.

The scrimshaws are item that can be worn in the pocket slot of the character. They provide different non-combat and combat related bonuses. As with the armour, there is two different variations of the scrimshaws as well. The standard can be traded between players, but has slightly lower bonuses than the superior and degrades quicker. The superior cannot be traded between players, however, it gives slightly higher bonuses and can be used for longer. Each scrimshaw requires 10 Ancient bones to be created; they cannot be repaired once degraded.

You can also unlock the ability to cook Rocktail soup. This requires 90 Cooking, heals 2100, and boosts your lifepoints 10% over maximum. In order to create the soup, in addition to obtaining all four scroll pieces, you require one Rocktail and one Spice resource.
