Best Gems? Ship/Pet

What are the best gems to put on my ship? i.e. what is better than the other (cannon damage > crit damage ...and so on)

Same for the pets.


Thanks

 

Hey,

Gems are each better than another depending on the situation.

I shall list my general different gem setups for different ships and pets, then show what these are in actions. These are what I believe to be the best for each setup. In practice, I have a few more Ships/Pets for small things, like increasing my Amulet value etc.

Ships:

1. Ship 1:
   • +49 Speed
   • Cannon Damage
   • Hit Probability
   • Damage Prevention
   • Dodge Chance
2. Ship 2:
   • -50% DoT Reduction
   • Cannon Damage
   • Hit Probability
   • Damage Prevention
   • Repair Gem
3. Ship 3:
   • +10% Treasure Chest Booty
   • Boarding Bonus
   • Harpoon Damage
   • Damage Prevention
   • Dodge Chance
4. Ship 4:
   • +3% Damage vs NPCs
   • Cannon Damage
   • Critical Damage
   • Damage Prevention
   • Dodge Chance

Pets:

1. Pet 1:
   • +50% Battlepoints
   • Hit Probability
   • Dodge Chance
2. Pet 2:
   • 1000 Elite Ammo Bonus
   • Cannon Damage
   • Critical Daamge
3. Pet 3:
   • +10% Maximum healing value
   • Dodge Chance
   • Damage Prevention
4. Pet 4:
   • +10% Gold from Monsters
   • Boarding Bonus
   • Harpoon Damage

Setups:

1. PvP
   • Ship 1
   • Pet 1
2. PvP with Masterwork Tools Buff / Hourglass buff, and everything setup in faster repair:
   • Ship 2
   • Pet 1
3. Faster Repair for Your ship
   • Ship 2
   • Pet 1
4. Repair Others
   • Ship 1
   • Pet 3
5. Scrolls
   • Ship 4
   • Pet 2
6. Normal NPCs without Dodge
   • Ship 4
   • Pet 2
7. Harpoons
   • Ship 3
   • Pet 4
8. Boarding anything with a Large boarding value (20000+)
   • Ship 3
   • Pet 4
9. Event NPCs with Dodge
   • Ship 1 (if a lot of dodge), Ship 4 (if a small amount of dodge)
   • Pet 1
10. Chest Hunting
    • Ship 3
    • Pet 1
11. Shiny Hunting
    • Ship 1
    • Pet 1

Hope this helps and is not too confusing

There is no solid answer to your query. It is down to each captain as to what suits his ship best. As shown above there are many different set ups of ship and pet gems, each would be down to certain circumstances.

You will as captain soon decide what works best for you and when.

 

Arky is right here, there are so many different situations you will find yourself in, from fighting players and NPCs to fighting monsters and boarding admirals, there is no 1 set up that addresses all of these situations perfectly. The Ship 1 Pet 1 combination that Arky gave is your best set up for fighting, and that most players use in their day-to-day play, but again, depending on the situation and what you are doing, your needs will change and therefore the ship set-up will change with it.

Thanks
