So i just started the game and so far i am loving it. However after a couple days messing around and generally doing stuff on my own i learned that going back and doing some type of school thing would give me more trade fame. Long story short i found my way to Sagras by earning enough trade fame from quests and earning the new port permit solo, and sailed there by hand because taking the liners would have cost me 50k where as sailing there myself only cost me about 15k.
Turns out however because i need to finish some kind of quest back in Amsterdam i cant enroll in the school and that means blowing the last of my cash going home. So my question is seeing as i have so far been managing just fine on my own and i already unlocked the next port permit by the time i got here is it even worth it to try and save up again for another sail all the way back down here? Or should i invest in something else like a new ship (i have been sailing around in a trading barca this entire time)?

But also consider joining a company. A company mate could tow you from Amsterdam to Sagres in minutes. And they will help you in other ways too.
Many players (including me) did the schools as more of a secondary objective and some never did finish all 3 courses. I had the school sprout on my flag for several months until I finally got around to finishing the maritime school. It didn't effect anything, except I didn't have the school frigate. As a non-maritime player, not having it made no difference.
