0 Getting Around - Whisking FAQ

Shortlink for this page: http://tinyurl.com/whiskFAQ

I actually had another use for this in mind... then of course, I got lazy.

Introduction

How do I get to a particular island?

Let’s say that you have a ship ported at Rowes (or another middle of nowhere island) and you have no idea how to get that ship back to civilization, or that you'd like to get to zombies or skellies at a particular island.

How do you get to those islands in the most cost-effective way possible?

Luckily for you, there are many ways to get from island to island (i.e. whisking)!

Of course, the regular (and most expensive) way is to buy a Whisking Potion and then clicking on the island in Yer Known World.

But are there other ways of getting around?
What if you don’t have the island on your map?

This article is here to help answer these concerns.

Thanks to Crickket for her contributions to this article!

TL;DR aka Overview

Here’s a flowchart to help you out. If you only want to read one thing, this flowchart would be it.

You may notice that if things don't work out, the ultimate option always circles back to the whisking potion. D;

The Nitty Gritties

Whether you're a new pirate on the seas or just new to the concept of whisking, you'd probably need some further elaboration.

---

Basic thought process is this:
1. Use the ferry if possible
2. If not, get islands on YKW and whisk to them
3. Whisk to them using alternate means

---

Part I: Using the Ferry

You should first check if the destination island is both colonized and in the same archipelago as the island you are on.

This can be done by first clicking on the docks, scrolling past the ships your crew has.

You will be able to ferry between same archipelago, colonized islands without charge or hassle.

Check here for islands that are...ferriable. Wait, that’s not a word is it?

Understanding Ferries

Many Archipelagos make up the Ocean. Emerald has 8 Archipelagos.
A group of islands (both colonized and uninhabited) make up an archipelago.

In very basic terms, colonized islands (in green) are islands you can set as home.

On the other hand, Uninhabited Islands (in red) are islands that only have a dock (and/or a basic fort), but you cannot ferry to or from uninhabited islands.

You may ferry between the colonized islands in the same Archipelago.

You cannot ferry between colonized islands in different Archipelagos.
(Loathe's post here elaborates more on this with actual examples)

Getting Islands to show on Yer Known World (YKW) and using Whisking Potions

Having islands on the YKW means being able to whisk to them with whisking potions.

Accessing YKW

Yer Known World (YKW) is akin to the world map of YPP.

Islands can either appear temporarily via charts on a ship, or appear permanently if you've set foot on it before.

By having islands appear, you’re then able to use whisking potions to get to islands that are inaccessible by ferries.

Understanding YKW

When you start out with a new pirate, you have none or only a few islands on YKW.

Your goal is to eventually visit (or explore) all of the 92 islands so that it looks like the wiki map of Emerald. Essentially, it creates a sense of "exploring the Ocean".

NOTE!:

• You need to have actually set foot on the islands for them to permanently show on YKW.
• If you got whisked there on a crewbie’s boat, be sure to hop off onto the island for a second!

• Having the island and the LP (league point) of an island on YKW are different.

• For the LP associated with the island to show, you can either hop on and off the island from a ship or log in and out at the island scene 4-5 times.

Having a chart to an island makes it show

You can board a ship that has charts to the island you desire.
This also works with navy ships.

However, these islands only show up temporarily until you log-off. So if you can, be sure to set foot on them to lock them in. Forever.


NOTE!:

• Getting someone to chart you to an island that you don’t have on your YKW doesn't make it whisk-able.

Asking others to invite /job you there also works

As you are usually whisked straight to the island or the ship at the island, you’ll have it show permanently on YKW. See also section 4.

Using Whisking Potions for islands already on YKW

Once you have the island on your YKW either temporarily or permanently,

you can then use a whisking potion to whisk there.


To use a whisking potion, simply click on it in the booty panel, and click “drink”.

You can buy a whisking potion at any apothecary and whisk to the island you desire.


They are the most expensive way to whisk around (on the green oceans, anyway).
You can find them at apothecaries, under potions.

They’re not particularly expensive, but the delivery price is what is really hard to swallow for just 9 whisks. Trust me when I say it really builds up.

(And you know that is what makes you fork out 50-odd-k to buy a measly sloop!)

Straight whisking methods

Asking others through chat

Ask someone that has your wanted island set as “home” to either job you to a ship ported there, or invite you to a building on the island.

Some great channels to try are /crew, /fo chat, or the inn.

Well.. the man has a point.

If your crew has ships everywhere (Cubelets does!), a crewbie can stand on a ship in your crew at your wanted island.

You will then be able to board the ship and be automatically whisked there.

You could also have a friend job you onto one of their ships ported at your wanted island.

What if your friend is at your wanted island, but their crew doesn't have a ship ported there?

• You can job them (while off a ship) to your crew and ask them to hop on one of your crew ships at the island. 

Asking others through the noticeboard

This is only to be used as a last resort.
By clicking on the ship’s name, you can see where it is currently ported at on the Ahoy! tab.

Taken from Tinnitus' Pillaging Guide

Check to see if any ships are ported at or are at a colonized island in the same archipelago as your destination island.

If so, you can then send a /tell to the person advertising on the notice board and ask if they would mind whisking you there by offering you a job.

Note!:

• Be sure to ask before applying!
• If you job solely for the sake of whisking to the island you may find yourself on a “do not job” list or the recipient of less than pleasant tells!

• If it says "last seen at <island>", it means that they are already at sea and won't work as a whisk.

• Being planked whisks you back to your home island. You have to leave yourself.

Using alts

This is meant to be used more for repeated whisking.

Setting an alt’s home island where you need to whisk to repeatedly can be pretty convenient and cost-effective.

I myself have about 10 alts stationed across the ocean on various islands with Explorers' Halls.

It doesn't sound that troublesome as you can technically have 3 (or more if you were here during the merger!) pirates per account.

Each computer can create up to 5 free accounts (write them down on a piece of paper!), so there are plenty of alts to go around!

Using missions

Sometimes you hear others saying things like "skellies/zombies at <insert island here>".

You could use any of the above methods to whisk.

Or, if you are Renowned+ in Swordfight or Rumble, you'll be able to see "Defeat the Skeletons" and "Defeat the Zombies" missions on the board respectively.

4 Fish names - Part I (A-B)

Fish names are a big part of YPP.

All the vessels are named after one fish or another.

While you can find exotic fish to name your ship after, the default list is already quite extensive.

I've wanted to write this ever since I saw a picture of an Angler fish, and wondered what the others looked like... before they ended up on our plates that is.

Any ichthyologists reading this, please don't hit me :P

Alewife - pronounced ale-wife, not a-le-wife

Source

Pretty sure I've eaten this at some point... though I cannot be entirely sure.
Looks pretty normal to me.
I would love to have this deep-fried. Mhmmm.

Main Habitat: Five Great Lakes

Interesting fact: there's a transportation hub named after it located in Cambridge, Tax-achusetts.

Anchovy - Small and nutritious

Source

Okay, I KNOW I've had these before. I never knew they were called Anchovies though, I always knew them by their other name: ikan bilis (e-khan bee-lease).
Not on a pizza, but dried and crispy.

Main Habitat: Mediterranean

Interesting Fact: Anchovies are low on toxins and great vitamin-packed snacks for the health conscious thanks to their small size and short life-cycles.

Angelfish - Pretty and varied

Source for more pics! Emperor Angelfish 

There are two categories of this one apparently. A seawater one and a freshwater one.

Both go by the name "Angelfish" for us laymen, but quite different.

Both are really pretty and colorful though, and both are quite distinctive fish shapes to us.

Source Silver Angelfish

 Main Habitat: Shallow reefs in Atlantic, Indian, Pacific Oceans (seawater), Amazon river and fish tanks (freshwater)

Interesting Facts:  They're pretty. Despite its bold colors, the Queen Angelfish is actually shy in nature.

Angler - The ultimate dominatrix

Source

And now, for the inspiration for this article.

Oh, you thought the look of the fish was the worst part? Nonono.

Only females have "anglers" (the light bulb part). The male physically fuses with the female, leaving only its testes and a female will carry six or more males.

Source Yeap, it's the one from Finding Nemo

/e shudder. Hey, at least the females don't have to worry about doing hair and make-up everyday since they pretty much live in darkness, right?

Main Habitat: North-east Atlantic where the sun don't shine.

Interesting Fact: Apparently you can eat these. Yeaaaaaa. PASS.

Barbel - No, not the weights you lift. Those are Barbells.

Source

Apparently if you googled Barbel, you get a lot of fishermen showing them huge-booty fish off.

I'm guessing they're eaten a lot. I think I've had these!

Main Habitat: Slow-flowing rivers everywhere

Interesting Fact: Barbel is also the technical term for fish whiskers.

Bass - The fish that keeps on noming.

Source Giant Black Sea Bass

Bass also has marine and freshwater varieties.

It is also an instrument and something that Dr. Dre claims to know a lot about. 

Most common variety we know of is the Sea Bass. 

And if you can't cook one of those, be prepared to "take off your jacket and leave Hell's Kitchen".

Source NOPE.

Because you bleeping can't bleeping bleeping cook for bleep. Blimey bleep. Bleep me. 

Main Habitat: East Coast US (Black Sea Bass), restaurant aquariums all over

Interesting Fact: I eat these all the time. 鲈鱼 They're one of the cheaper varieties at the fish market. 

Here's a comparison between East and West sea bass. 

Source East

This is garnished with Soy Sauce, spring onions, yellow wine, and ginger. Tastes great.

It is actually very fast and easy to prep. 

Simply put all ingredients in and then just 4-5 mins in the microwave on high. Great for a meal for one or two. No fat except for the fish's fat.

If you'd like specific instructions, leave a comment :P

Source Fancy Cuisine

If Alton Brown has taught me anything, it is that searing sea bass is a tart. And he has already aimed to simplify everything as much as possible. 

Also that source link has some scary instructions. Why is there butter in everything?

Blowfish - Porcupine of the Sea

Source Is it just me, or does this look like a horse?

You've heard of Fugu right? It's apparently a type of Blowfish. 

Blowfish can't swim very well, so they try to compensate by inflating themselves. 

This fish is full of dirty innuendos.

Source

Sometimes Fugu is prepared with extra traces of the poisonous parts because it causes a tingling (read: paralyzing) effect on the tongue.

It's like getting high. On fish.

Would you try Fugu knowing you could die? 

Main Habitat: Tropical Ocean Zones (Despite their name literally meaning River Pig... what -_-) 

Source Bloat from Finding Nemo

Interesting Fact: 31 fatal cases of Fugu poisoning occurred in Japan between 1996 and 2005 (source) and most of them were fishermen engaging in "Russian-roulette-style fugu consumption". 

Darwin Awards, anyone?

Bluegill - a type of sunfish

Source Dark spot above dorsal fin 

Bluegills come in a variety of colors.

They are so named for their characteristic dark (blue?) dot at the edge of their gills.

They have special fins that allow them to turn quickly from predators, but are very popular to fish as they are very bite-y. 

Oh irony, thy name is Bluegill. 

Main Habitat: Originally Great Lakes and Mississippi, now entire US

Interesting Fact: Emperor Akihito (an ichthyologist by profession!) inadvertently introduced the Bluegill to the Japan ecosystem, wrecking havoc in the process. 

Bream - Part of the Carp family

Source More breams this guy fished up!

Breams, Sunfish, Carps, Minnows (even Barbels) are all in the same Class and Order (ray-finned fish), so colloquially the terms used to describe the different fish are often used interchangeably. 

It is the largest family of fish. 

My first sloop was a Bream. I renamed it to the Cliche Bream with Pegno's help. Ah, good times. 

Main Habitat: North of the Alps, and Balkans, extending towards the Caspian and Black Sea 

Interesting Fact: Like other members of its family tree, it is a very popular fishing target. Well it is quite meaty. 

Bullhead - Adjective or noun, it can be both! 

Source European Bullhead

When referring to a "Bullhead", it is most commonly understood that it is either the European Bullhead, or a type of Bullhead Catfish. There are other types of bullheads too. Not sure why I keep having the word "bullfrog" in my head.

Either way... both look tasty. 

Both varieties are quite small. 

Source Black Bullhead Catfish

The European Bullhead is a fresh water stone-dweller, preferring to dart along the river beds. 

Main Habitat: Native to UK Rivers (European Bullhead), native to North America (Bullhead Catfish)

Interesting Facts: Because of the small Catfish's size, the Bullhead Catfish is often kept as a pet. (Wut?)

Well that's it for the As and the Bs :) I really enjoyed reading about fish. I hope you did too! 

Would you like to see more? I hear there are some wacky sex-changing fish out there.

7 Our New Flag

Cubelets Needs You!

As you may know we’ve decided to leave Illusion and have been looking at the steps we need to take following this decision.  As for why this has come to pass, this has been posted in our crew issues recently, but it basically boils down to this; the reasons this crew joined Illusion over a year ago now no longer hold. Our crew has always been a little separate from Illusion and so we’ve been looking at all the options available to us. Things have been moving rather quickly and we apologise for this. We’ve come to a decision however and the route we’ve chosen to go forward with is to create our own flag.

This is where this post comes in; we’d like to hear your input on what name this new flag shall have. Silly, funny, sinister, it’s your choice! After we get those names, Squish will handpick the best of the bunch and put those up for us to vote on.  So the short of it is this, reply to this post and get your say! What should our new flag be called?

Happy sails,

Desonn

1 Interested in joining us? - Crew FAQ

What are you guys like?

Our FAQ will hopefully help determine whether Cubelets is for you!

See also Crew Perks and Rules

Q: I've never been in such a structured crew before! Will I fit in? How about stats? Will you find me too noobish?

A: We as a crew are team players. An eagerness to learn, some common courtesy and a desire to have fun as a team player is all that is needed. Plus Menoob once said that no one is a greenie, they are just pros-to-be.

Q: Are you guys a closed group?

A: This is a tricky one to answer. The short version is no. We love new players. However, we have been told that we're not as open as we'd like to be.

Here's the thing.
We have been playing for awhile, we believe in playing as a team, and having crewbies that respect that. If you can't, you're going to find it hard to "fit in".

Q: What is the demographic of your crew? Which time zone is the most active?

A: Most of us are in our 20s and we are spread out over all 6 continents! 

(No, we don't live in Antarctica)

No matter where you live, you'll have buddies that play at around the same time!

Q: I just came back from a break. Are you guys based on Sage or Hunter?

A: Cubelets is a crew created after the merger, so we are a mixed bag. No matter which side you’re from, we’ll not differentiate.

If you really care, you should just stalk our trophy pages.>:)

Pandorica was created and run by a bunch of old-timey Huntards though :P

Q: What if I only log on once or twice a week for a few hours? Will this affect how much I get to rank up?

A: This is a tricky one to answer. It all depends on what you do with those hours that you are on. Are you a team player willing to help crewbies out? Are you constantly trying to improve? Do we get to know you a little bit?

If rank is the only thing you care about, we are not the crew for you anyway.

Q: I was a big deal on another/this ocean. Now I'm starting over. Can I get O immediately?

A: Hey, I'm sure you're sufficiently experienced to be an Officer. But here in Cubelets, we only promote guys we know and trust.

If you were a decent player, then getting the 3 master+ requisite should be a piece of cake for you anyway, and you'll get promoted soon enough after we run you through our O test :)

Q: The O test? That sounds scary! What if I fail it? Do I not get promoted?

A: Bro, this isn't school. It's a game, where we enjoy ourselves.

It's not a test to see whether you know everything. It's a test to see how much you do know, so we can help you fill in the blanks.

Q: How is it that there seems to be a rule for everything? I just want to log on and have fun!

A: You'll never believe it, but that's exactly what we want too! Which is why we have the rules all laid out crystal clear.

Less drama or less potential for drama = more fun!

Q: Wait, so do you guys just pull the rules out of a hat?

A: Not really. Common sense and logic man. We want it to be as simple as it possibly can be, too! It's also based on Squish's experiences of being a SO and running a flag.

Q: How do you guys run Cubelets?

A: We make crew decisions (mainly promotions past O) and discuss problems that arise as a team (i.e. The Captain and the SOs).

If you want to come in as part of the decision-making, that is fine too. As long as you want to get involved or have an idea for an event etc., just get out there and make it happen.

Q: What if I don't actually want to do anything, and just inntart all day?

A: Hey, as long as you're friendly and comply with our rules, you can sit at the spades table all day. (Which some current crewbies already do.) 

We all have different aspects of the game that we enjoy more than others, and no one should be penalized for that, but do help out your crewbies once in a while.

Hope this answers most of your queries!

2 BK FAQ

Shortlink for this page: tinyurl.com/squishBKFAQ

Introduction

Did you ever find yourself on one of my BK trips only to be left wondering
“Uhh why does she have so many rules? I know they are effective for us winning quickly... but why?”
“Did I get a trinket?”
“How much are they worth?”

This article should hopefully answer most of your queries.:)

BKs are a fairly recent obsession of mine... in relative terms. I started doing them possibly in May 2012. Since then, I've gotten Gold Longship, Baghlah, Junk and diamond MB (one and only) just from doing BK Compasses.

If you think you’ve seen parts of this guide before, you probably have. It was once the BK FAQ I linked to on the crew page, before the blog existed xD

Have a question not already answered? Leave a comment for me to add it!

Longship BKs

How many do we sail with?

We start BKing with full ship, which is 15. Type /w to see how many currently aboard.

Why do we need to hop till 8 left?

The short answer is, to spawn an easier BK.
The long answer, involves understanding of might rings and spawn difficulty.

The difficulty of the bots you fight is dependent on the number of people on the ship.

So we technically spawned a BK for 8, and then fighting it with 15.

Can we hop till 7 or 5 or something?

No. If the number is too low, the spawn will be too easy, and the BK will flee (refuse to engage).

What is DND, CAH?

Do Not Disturb (needs to be off so you can hear the whistle) and Call all Hands.

I can’t hear the whistle!

Turn DND off. ‘Nuff seid.

I can’t seem to hop off the ship!

When ships are out of port (when you can see the ship on the mini map), you will not be able to “leave the vessel” by clicking the mini-map or “leave the vessel”.
Instead, click “to home”.

Who are the BKs?

From left to right:
Madam Yu Jian | Widow Queen | Brynhild Skullsplitter | Barnabas the Pale | Gretchen Goldfang | Admiral Finius | Azarbad the Great | Vargas the Mad

Don't team on them until the end!!

Why do we need to kill BK last?

This is one that is highly debated.

Most recently, it has been added to the list of Rumors on the YPPedia, and marked as false.

This makes me a sad panda because I do believe that it does make a difference, and very noticeably too in the cases of brynhild, WQ and Barnabas.

The "minions" tend want to "avenge" their King, so they start to fight much harder and tend to become super hard to kill, doing full screen clears and instas to the humans.

This is especially true in the case of Barnabas the Pale.

I am going to ask for you to kill the BK last when on my trips, just for consistency’s sake. It isn't too much to ask to check your teaming after every kill.

I don’t think I got a trinket?

If you have a pirate badge or above, you got it.
There is no line of text that says “Ye received xxx”. The BK defeat speech is it.

Barnabas the Pale says, "Very well, I shall give each of yer dedicated hands one Ectoplasm in ransom for my release."

Which BKs are SF and which are Rumble?

Barnabas and Azarbad (Brigand King) are always SF.
Vargas (Barbarian King) is always Rumble
The rest can be either/or.

I need to leave soonish... how do I let you know?

Preferably by saying in a tell “Hey, this upcoming battle is my last” BEFORE the battle ends.
This is so I can plan around it, and thus faster battles for all.

How many of these do you have?

That’s not really relevant, but I usually do anywhere from 6-12 of them in a row depending on my schedule.

For reference, my highest record is 28 wins 3 losses in a day, and 22 wins straight. Yes, that takes a long time.

Sloop BKs

Why do we not team on sloop BKs?

They have 12...while we only have 7. We’re vastly outnumbered.

When they're maxed, they only have half a board. If we don't spread out and "waste" our resources on the same half-dead bot, then the others will have time to build "instas or semi instas".

By not teaming, we get to bring their numbers down efficiently to 6 or 7.
Otherwise, we'd only being able to knock out 3-4 at the beginning, leaving them with 8 or more still.

I also noticed that sloop BK spawns tend to stall more if you team in 3s on them.

The rest of this is more informational rather than FAQ-y.

Informational 

How many wins for each of the BK trophies again?

Wins	Trophy
1	Bronze
10	Silver
25	Gold

How many types of trinkets are there?

YPPedia page on BK trinkets
total of 49 different types of trinkets

How many colors do the trinkets come in?

Either 6 or 7 colors.

All BK trinkets come in Red, Orange, Green, Aqua, Blue, Violet.
The 7th color is Yellow, and only applies to Azarbad, Brynhild, Yu Jian (a.k.a. the new BKs)
This brings the total of unique trinkets to 312.

Wow that is a lot of trinkets!

Yes, and to get them all in your name is a giant pain in the behind. (Well, the Galene Doll kinda makes up for it :P)

To date, on Emerald, I think only Everclearboy and Shooshy have complete sets all inscribed with their name.

Delores is currently missing one, and I am currently missing two.

But I have no idea which colors I got!

Blue and aqua can be quite confusing, and some of the trinkets are really hard to tell apart.

Okay, how about you just match them to my trinkets here and see which ones you got :)
Squishat's YPPedia Page on Trinkets

What is the point of the trinkets?

You can either trade them for BK eggs and banners at the Trading Post, or you can collect the trinkets on their own.
And then of course you can sell the trinkets. Different rarities have different values.

Which trinket is the rarest?

I used to keep data, then it became too tedious. So I do list the rarest/second rarest first, and the most common ones last. But everything in between is “by feel”, and loosely corrected based on ECB's numbers.

Gretchen Goldfang – Lucky Rabbit’s Foot

Rarest				Most Common	Most Common
Lucky Rabbit’s Foot	Ivory Toothpick	Wooden Amulet	Salt Shaker	Golden Horseshoe	Stained Wishbone

Widow Queen – Arsenic Ring

Rarest	Rarest			Most Common	Most Common
