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 do not carry over or stack with the new upgrade, unless specifically stated.

Bar

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, resulting in the players third offered voyage to be replaced with one highly rewarding voyage. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. There are three types of bars (sinister, 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 sinister bar. Upgrading again to the nautical or luxurious bar will reward the player the remaining upgrade point and 10 port score. Alternatively, players can build the nautical or luxurious bar first (skipping the sinister bar) and earn 2 upgrade points and 20 port score at one time, thus saving the player some resources. Upgrading between the nautical bar and luxurious bar does NOT affect any scores. However, one upgrade point and 10 port score will be lost if the refurbished bar is rebuilt.

Office

The office, located northeast of the entrance portal, houses Duncan and John Strum after the tutorial. Office upgrades unlock more ships, which can be used to send out more voyages simultaneously. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Office Type	Effect	Cost
Dilapidated office	No bonus	Free
Refitted office	Unlocks an additional ship slot.	150 ^[1]
Renovated office	Unlocks an additional ship slot.	3,000 4,000
Refurbished office	Unlocks an additional ship slot.	8,000 10,000

Workshop

The workshop, located in the northeast corner of the port, is unlockable by reaching the Hook region of the Eastern Lands. Once built, the building consists of a workbench, anvil, bank box, scrimshaw crafter, and cooking station. The workbench and anvil can be found just outside the building. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Note: Experience boosts from upgrades are only applied when making trade good specific items such as bonus smithing experience for making tetsu armour and bonus fletching experience for creating scrimshaws. The boost does not apply to any regular skilling inside of the workshop. In addition, the anvil, workbench and cooking station do not allow one to create anything but the trade good rewards (so you cannot e.g. smith rune bars on the anvil).

Workshop Type	Effect	Cost
Dilapidated workshop	No bonus (Building is nonfunctional)	Free
Refitted workshop	5% increased XP gain while skilling in the workshop Adds a workbench, anvil, bank box, scrimshaw crafter and cooking station	2,000 500
Renovated workshop	10% increased XP gain while skilling in the workshop	3,000 6,000
Refurbished workshop	Increases XP earned from workshop skill locations by 15%.	5,000 10,000
Revamped workshop	Increases XP earned from workshop skill locations by 20%.	20,000

Lodgings

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.

Lodgings Type	Effect	Cost
Dilapidated lodgings	No bonus	Free
Refitted lodgings	Boosts port attractiveness for higher quality crew by 2%	1,500
Renovated lodgings	Boosts port attractiveness for higher quality crew by 4%	1,000 3,000

Shipwright

The shipwright, located in the southwest corner of the port, improves the total adversity percentages of all the player's ships. The bonuses are applied to the ship's total stats (including those added by the crew and captain), not just the stats of the ship itself. 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. Upgrading again to the luxurious or sleek shipwright will reward the player the remaining upgrade point and 10 port score. 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. Subsequently building a warship or nautical shipwright decreases your building upgrade count and port score by 1 and 10 respectively.

Warehouse

The warehouse, located in the northwest corner of the port, is the storage building for all of the player's goods. Upgraded warehouses give greater bonuses to voyage rewards. This upgrade affects the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. The warehouse also is home to Felix The Black Marketeer, who allows players to spend gold coins on resource goods such as Bamboo and Chimes. He can also repair ships instantly, negating the normal waiting period.

Totem hotspots

There are five types of totems that can be built in any of the four hotspots. Each type of totem provides a unique bonus to the port. Players can build more than one of each type, and the effects DO stack. This upgrade does NOT affect the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log.

Totem hotspot 1 is located west of the portal.
Totem hotspot 2 is located south-east of the warehouse.
Totem hotspot 3 is located between the bar and office.
Totem hotspot 4 is located west of where Umi stands.

The information given in clue hints can be used by talking to the adventurer in the bar before sending them out on a clue voyage, in order to target the correct island for their search. The hint received on a particular day may be for a later stage of that adventurer's clue trail, so saving a note of hints for later voyages is recommended. Note: It is possible to receive 2 hints at once if two clue-voyage-giving adventurers are in port on a day your map table provides clues. In this situation, two hints will be given, one for each adventurer. (It appears that the first hint matches the adventurer shown first on the Visiting Adventurers list, and the same for the second^{[source needed]}.)	3,000 2,000

Icon hotspots

The three icon hotspots, at the south ends of the three piers, increase the chance of attracting different adventurers to the port. Each icon costs 1000 chimes to build. The player may build more than one of the same kind of icon. However, it is unknown at this time if the bonus chance stacks for more than one. This upgrade does NOT affect the Port Upgrades score in the Captain's Log. Note that to build a certain adventurer's icon, not only do you need the corresponding skill, but also to have successfully completed that adventurer's first story mission ("Meet the... adventurer").

Icon Hotspot 1 is located on the west pier.
Icon Hotspot 2 is located on the middle pier.
Icon Hotspot 3 is located on the east pier.

Portal hotspot

Portal upgrades change the look of the portal both 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.
