About High Sea Saga

In this game, you put together a pirate crew and have adventures in unexplored lands. Create your own ship, crew and base and set off into the uncharted seas!

Game Flow

First, hire crew at the tavern before going out on a quest. There are crewmates with many different jobs available, so choose the ones you like best.

Complete quests to make new ones appear, and acquire a larger ship. Then you can place a variety of facilities on the ship in any way you please.

Once you have a ship, you can set off in search of adventure. Explore other islands and even discover new continents.

Combat

When you assign crewmates to combat teams, they will automatically battle any enemies you encounter. Try out different combinations of characters to make better teams.

Crew Stats

In addition, things like skills, jobs and equipment can increase or change your crew's abilities.

Equipment

Equipment effectiveness depends on the compatibility of the crewmate's job with the equipment type. Also, equipment weight can greatly affect speed. Equipment can be upgraded at a blacksmith.

Knowledge

Crewmates get knowledge points when they use ship facilities or do battle. When they earn a lot, they can use these points to switch to new jobs.

Powering Up

Give your crewmates tasty food and they will get experience points. Food is an important source of XP, so when you get some, be sure to use it.

Special Abilities

Each of your crewmates has a special ability. Even if they change their job, they can continue to use their original ability. There are many different abilities, including some that only affect online battles.

Job Characteristics

Crewmates' cabins will be redecorated according to their jobs. This can change their abilities and improve their quality. Also, using facilities that are compatible with their jobs can give a large bonus to the knowledge points obtained.

Skills

Skills can be used to get an advantage in battle by consuming SP, or to help with duties on the ship. If a crewmate masters a job, they will be able to use its special skill at any time.

Mastering Jobs

When a crewmate reaches a job's max level, he or she has mastered it. The max level differs depending on the job. Some special jobs are only available after changing jobs a certain number of times.

Dismissing Crewmates

There is a limit to the number of crewmates your ship can house. When you dismiss crewmates, they will leave behind their equipment, and some of their knowledge will be converted to items.

Quests

Quests can be found all over the islands you visit. Completing quests gets you access to treasures like new crewmates, resources and onboard facilities, so try to beat them all.

Failing Quests

If all of the crewmates on a quest are defeated, you will lose any treasure chests you have found on the quest up until that point. You can use medals to try again. The higher the quest's rank, the more medals that are required.

Wounded Crewmates

Crewmates whose HP reaches 0 in battle are "wounded," and are moved to their cabins. The more comfortable the cabin, the faster they can recover and return to duty.

If other combat team members are still in battle, wounded members will wait in their cabins without recovering. Try using items or equipment to make the survey or battle end more quickly.

Surveying

When you reach a new island, you must survey it. Try sailing for unexplored areas and surveying what you find there. In some cases, you may run into obstacles that can make the survey fail.

Anchoring Your Ship

If you leave your ship anchored at an island or part of the sea for too long the islanders will stop visiting your ship, and enemies will stop appearing. Try coming back later or visiting a new area.

Orders

For each crewmate, you can select duties that will be given priority. Select them according to their cabin and job. You can also give the same orders to all crewmates using the "All Crew" command.

Stamina

You need stamina to command your fleet. Stamina you use will recover at a rate of 1 point every 5 minutes. Stamina recovers even when you're not playing the game.

Islands

On islands, you will find quests and facilities like shops where you can buy weapons and armor for use on quests. As these facilities increase, so will your population.

Island Facilities

When your crewmates use island facilities to refill resources, the facilities will get XP. Crewmates with high intelligence will give more XP. Onboard facilities also get XP when merchants come to shop on your ship.

Island Shops

The items sold in shops change depending on the island's total level. Investing in a shop will increase its max level and help it sell more expensive items.

Ship Facilities

Facilities have an effect on other facilities in a 3-square radius. Building more of the same facility increases the effect. When a facility is used a lot, it will go up in level and become more effective.

Relics

Some relics that you obtain can be upgraded. This is very costly, but can really help your journey go more smoothly.

Fleet Rank

Defeating many enemies or strong enemies will cause your fleet rank to increase. When your fleet rank goes up, your stamina will refill completely and its max level may even go up.

Capturing Enemies

In some cases, it is possible to capture human enemies that you face in combat. You can store them in your ship's brig and then turn them in for the bounty when you anchor at a port. You can also recruit them as members of your crew.

Researching Treasure

When you defeat enemies, they will sometimes drop mysterious treasures. These can be exchanged for power-up items, weapons, etc., at the ship's lab. If you don't have enough room in the hold, collected treasure will be thrown away.

Items

Items can be used to recover HP in battle or temporarily increase stats, or can be sold to shops. You will often get items through research.

Population

Population represents your country's strength, and a high population allows you to attack other countries. You can increase population by spending time at island ports and using their facilities.

Monster Eggs

On your adventures, you will sometimes acquire monster eggs. Take them to a monster farm to hatch and discover new species. And you may make more new discoveries if they level up while adventuring with you.

Monster Combat Conditions

The size of the monsters you can have participate in battle is limited by your rank.

Monster Upgrade Requirements

If the levels of your monsters and monster farm are high, it is possible to upgrade monsters to realize their true abilities. The monsters that can be upgraded depend on your rank.

Monster Alignments

Cannons

Cannons are used in online battles and ship battles. Tap an arrow on the deck to equip a cannon. If you have purchased battle cheers, they also have an effect in quest battles.

Different types of cannons have different strengths. You can switch cannons after purchase. Strengthening them helps them develop.

Kairo Points

You can get Kairo Points by playing the Dice Game or fighting online battles. Eventually, a shop will appear where you can use Kairo Points to purchase ship facilities.
