Crew Composition

Crew

The basic life blood. Crew can be acquired from any settlement as slaves, workers, scouts, and fighters. Generally you want to balance the number of Laborers and Fighters. All crew, man and beast, with exception to slaves and workers have a workforce need.

A note on crew size, I have not found the hard limit on size however if you have greater than 40 crew members you will gain the crowded camps debuff. It will lower the morale of our crew over time. Fighting that falling morale gets tricky and expensive, so I would recommend building to a max 40 crew members. There are two exceptions to the crew size, you, companions, and slaves.

Slaves are expensive to buy, but make up for the cost in two parts, they do not count towards you crew size and have reduced supplies cost. During the mid to late game, I recommend using slaves. It will allow you to maximize the number or fighters, scouts, and beasts you can have.

Fighters are the backbone to your defense and are required for posting guards when you rest. Ensuring you have enough guards to protect all your crew and passengers increases morale and obedience each night. Each fighter can fully protect up to 3 crew members before it becomes a strain. The total number of crew includes, slaves, workers, scouts, companions, yourself, and passengers.

Crew Type Attack Defense Supplies Work Work Need Pay Slave 1 0 1 ~1 0 0 Worker 1 0 2 ~1 0 1 Scout 4 0 2 0 0.1 2 Fighter 5 0 2 0 0.15 2 Outriders 5+mount 0+mount 6 0 0.15+mount 2

Outriders are a sub-class of the fighter, you get all the benefits of a fighter, however at the expense of increased supply cost and decreased cargo capacity. Outriders are the best in bringing up your crews combat abilities.

Items are vitaly important to increase your attack and defense, it is multiplicative with each crew member.

Beast Types

Within Vagrus the Riven Realms, there are three known Beast types. Two are available from the start and a third hidden type that only becomes available after a series of quests. Each has their positives and drawbacks.

To gain access to insect beasts you must gain friendship among the Yskorri Embassy in Larnak. To do so, bring stack of fruit easily found at Mirage. There is a ten day cooldown, so you will need to make numerous trip, to gain enough friendship. Alternatively, you can provide then the Rare white crystal.

Mounted Travel

You may have noticed that mounts universally have a higher movement than beast of burden. On the top of the crew page, next to the outriders you have the option to mount-up your crew. This is only available if you have enough mounts for every man, woman, and slave in your crew. Including companions, passengers, and your Vagrus(you).

As a warning, mounting your crew treats all members as if they were outriders and has increase in supply cost with a decrease in cargo capacity.
