Port upgrades consist of buildings and decorations can be built or upgraded to offer increased bonuses to different areas of the port's operations. Each upgrade is separate and distinct from its previous upgrade meaning that bonuses from previous upgrades to not carry over or stack with the new upgrade unless specifically stated.

The bar, located northwest of the entrance portal, is owned by Surula and is used to attract captains and adventurers. On Thursdays, players can talk to Surula for a gossip voyage. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. The Sinister bar provides 1 port upgrade and 10 port score. Selecting Luxurious bar provides 1 port upgrade and 10 port score. It is not yet proven if Nautical bar will provide 1 port upgrade the same as Sinister or Luxurious nor whether skipping the Sinister bar and building either Nautical or Luxurious bar would provide 2 port upgrade and 20 port score directly.

This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

LodgingsEdit

Lodgings, located in the southeast corner of the port, attract better crew members when upgraded. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. There are three types of lodgings (cutthroat, nautical, luxurious) in the highest tier of upgrades. A possible 2 upgrade points and 20 port score can be gained from this tier. Players will gain one upgrade point and 10 port score if they build the cutthroat lodgings. Upgrading again to the nautical or luxurious lodgings will reward the player the remaining upgrade point and 10 port score. Alternatively, players can build the nautical or luxurious lodgings first (skipping the cutthroat lodgings) and earn 2 upgrade points and 20 port score at one time, thus saving the player some resources. Upgrading to the cutthroat lodgings after the fact does NOT decrease any scores. However, one upgrade point and 10 port score will be lost if the daredevil lodgings are rebuilt.

There are three types of shipwrights (warship, luxurious, sleek) in the highest tier of upgrades. A possible 2 upgrade points and 20 port score can be gained from this tier. Players will gain one upgrade point and 10 port score if they build the warship shipwright.

Alternatively, players can build the luxurious or sleek shipwright first (skipping the warship shipwright) and earn 2 upgrade points and 20 port score at one time, thus saving the player some resources.

Portal hotspotEdit

Portal upgrades change the look of the portal inside the port and outside in Port Sarim. These changes are cosmetic only and have no effect on the performance of the port. Buying a certain cosmetic style does NOT unlock it for unlimited use. For example, if you purchase the Ornate Portal for 250 bamboo and then switch back to the Standard Portal design, it will cost you 250 bamboo once again to switch back to the Ornate Portal design. This upgrade does NOT affect the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.
