General Discussion
My question is, which is better?

Plunder Rank+1 & Seize Cargo & Rowing +1
Seize Cargo & Ambush with no +1 to Plunder Rank or Rowing

trying to decide on the Aides I will choose and how they are employed

Io + George?
Tufan + George?
or a different aide + George

    Ecbar from tunis is the aide ur wanting.  U don't need ambush for rare plunder.  When in Lt its very good for pvp and has seize cargo and Double-shot defense.  And when ur pirating u go surgeron for +1 rowing and +1 plunder :D

    I would recommend Chester + Siegfried as a good base pair, plus a 1 to support maritime/boardage, plus 2 more to support special interests.  Really, its not a terrible idea to go full maritime with aides... since having +1 to a trade, adventure, or crafting skill is normally of limited value.  But there is no wrong answer as long has you have maritime support in the mix.

    Excatly Zim.  Going for aides with like +1 wares trading or +1 arch, u'll eventually outlevel.  Where as stuff like +1 crafting skills (especially if u plan on doing SB get SB aide) are more important.  Also i would recommend at least 1 maritime toon with Doubleshot defense(DSD).  The cannons are some of the most powerful cannons in game, and capable of easily killing u with 1shot at close range.  Where-as high evasion and good figurehead can help save u from shots from carro's and others. DSD i promise if very important to survival.

    @Pieratthe

    I posted this in another post,


    The aides I was going to get are as follows

    Io @ Athens
    Surgeon (Plunder, Leadership, Rowing) Primary
    Paymaster (Management Skill) nice to have
    Store Keeper (Fire Prevention) nice for Nanban
    Lieutenant (Sword Mastery, Swordplay+) Land Battle

    George @ Jakarta (eventually)
    Lieutenant (Seize Cargo, Restriction+) Primary
    Only Aide with BOTH. (on Wiki anyways)

    Sigfried @ Venice
    Lieutenant (Gunnery, Ballistics, Penetration, 3x Shot defenses) Primary
    Store Keeper (Fire Prevention) nice for Nanban
    Surgeon (Sound Sleep, Prevention, Repair) While trading/long trading voyages

    Tufan @ Calicut (Eventually)
    Leuitenant (Sword Mastery, Swordplay, Guard, Tactics, Assault, Gunfire, Restriction) Melee GOD


    I will leave the 5th Aide empty for now, as you can see I chose all Maritime Aides, for Specific purposes.

    Pirate = Io + George
    Bounty Hunter = Io + Sigfried
    Cannon Grind = Io + Sigfreid
    Melee Grind = Io + Tufan
    Fighting cannon enemy = Io + Tufan
    Fighting Melee Enemy = Io + Sigfried
    Land Battle = Io + Tufan

    @ Pieratthe

    I will Have DSD with Sigfried, Rowing+ Plunder with Io.
    I want to focus on Rowing Ships always so always grinding rowing skill..
    should only take me 2 years to Refine it.. haha.

    as for benefits of Ecbar over Io, I don't see many if I am using as Surgeon for the most part.
    Io also gives management and when in Blacksmith you will need that +1 for the 13 required for Manchester cannons. I had +1 boots, +1 chest, +1 hat before, but having an aide with for sure help reach R13.

    seize cargo is must, the good thing about reset ;( is there are some rares you can only get as a low level.

    the value of mari aides cannot be understated, but if you are doing adventure and mari, it is important to consider what plus' an adventure aide can give.  It takes far longer to level adventure skills than most everything else, and even when u are above 10 in some adventure skill, the equipment buffs just aren't enuf sometimes (often many high level adv skills required at that point) and that extra plus one from an aide is just exactly what u need.  Adv + aides are needed for a long time in gaime, and with a wipe, may become even more important for many players.

    Viking armor only one.comes to mind. The fleet surprise attacks you and will not attacked after level 40 ish. MARCO.S has a great sike on all rare plunders. I can post the site later when I get home if you need it. I was able to get all the rares except that one due to level.
