Crew & Favor regeneration
Know what your Crew does before hiring at the Harbour Merchant.
What Crew does
Each active Crew member adds 1 Favor per minute to your base regeneration of 1 per minute. Three active Crew means 4 Favor per minute; a full Small Boat has two active Crew and recovers 3 Favor per minute.
Favor powers your god’s spells. Choose a god first; regeneration runs only while you are alive and connected to the game and stops at your Divinity-based maximum. Crew does not increase that maximum.
Hiring at the merchant
The first Crew member costs 250 gold. Each already-hired member adds 50 gold to the next hire, including Crew held in reserve. Active Premium applies its 10% discount to each member. The first three total 900 gold, or 810 with Premium.
Carry the coins in your inventory and leave enough room in your current boat. You cannot hire while moving or under combat restrictions. The merchant shows your next-hire and fill-to-capacity totals, active Crew and current and fully crewed Favor regeneration before you pay.
| Already hired | Hiring | Gold | Premium gold |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 250 | 225 |
| 1 | 1 | 300 | 270 |
| 2 | 1 | 350 | 315 |
| 0 | 3 | 900 | 810 |
| 2 | 2 | 750 | 675 |
Active Crew and reserves
Only Crew within your current boat’s capacity contributes to regeneration. Switching to a smaller boat retains surplus hired Crew as reserves; those reserves do not increase your current rate. Switching back to a larger boat makes room for them again.
| Boat | Active Crew capacity | Favor per minute |
|---|---|---|
| Small Boat | 2 | 3 |
| Fishing Boat | 4 | 5 |
| Transport Boat | 8 | 9 |
| Large Civilian Boat | 12 | 13 |
| Trireme | 20 | 21 |
| Trireme II | 35 | 36 |
| Trireme III | 50 | 51 |
| Bireme | 20 | 21 |
| Bireme II | 35 | 36 |
| Bireme III | 50 | 51 |
| Fireship | 20 | 21 |
| Fireship II | 35 | 36 |
| Fireship III | 50 | 51 |
Crew and sinking
Ordinary sinking loses your hired Crew, including reserves. Tutorial and designated safe boss deaths preserve them. Rehire at the merchant when you need to rebuild your Crew.
Loot and materials
Crew does not grant NPC material drops or a material-drop bonus. NPCs do not drop Wood, Metal, Glass or Cloth; recycle equipment for these materials. Scrap remains in its NPC loot system.
