Do i need to have a skill on my ship to level arms?

yes, you must have some kind of skill on the boat.

You can level all these skills quicker the more skills you have on a boat.
here is the math for this skill.

BP + BP / 2 + (number subdued -2) xBP / 4

Couldn't find this anywhere so I'll ask. Is there any advantage to have this skill over r10?

Dongwoo

Seems doubtful, as Arms is only used to activate certain ship skills.

Miyo

No. Arms only serves as a prerequisite for certain ship skills. Having a higher rank does not grant you any special bonuses, nor are there any ship skills that requires +10 Arms.

Any use of this skill if I am a trader or adventurer?

If ur ships can have these skills Lifeboat Military Camouflage maybe yes. You can see the adv ships can have these skills in links.

well, it is advisable too grow all 3 special skills (management, arms, navigation); u know never when u need them ;) besides that Alcher, it's most likely you turn maritime one day ;)

FYI Lifeboat actually requires R8 navigation, not Arms. And even then there was an update in one of the 2nd age chapters that allows you to use rescue skill to rescue sailors from storms and sirens I think too, making Lifeboat obsolete.

One other Arms ship skill traders and adventurers might benefit from is Moored Mine. If you get caught by a player pirate and you use mines on them with Moored Mine and he/she runs over one... it will bring them to a complete stop, allowing ample time to escape. Even turning to avoid them will slow them down somewhat.

When Atlantis concludes and chapter 1 of the Age of Revolution update comes, the three ship skills (Navigation, Management, Arms) will have their max level cap raised to R15. New ship skills and recipes taking advantage of this will also begin to be introduced.

Skill cap for this has been raised to R15 now. While it serves little, if any, purpose for now its usefulness will shine in the next major update, Age of Revolution where their will be new (as Guilder pointed out) ship skills and recipes taking advantage of this.

I tried to level up this skill fighting ships while mine has one on it, but somehow the exp doesn't increase at all even if for navigation and management works. Any idea?

Guilder

What rank are you, and what ships were you fighting? Storage skill stops gaining prof on sardines after a certain rank, and Arms is the same as I recall; fighting high level NPC ships (the giant Black Sea galleys and frigates for example) will usually always yield Arms proficiency, at least up to r10 - even if you just fry them with Amulets of the Sun.

Marfisa

I'm rank 1 with the skill so I guess the ships were too easy for getting the exp.
Thanks for the info!

Marfisa

I tried to fight also black sea ships but the exp is always zero at this rate I don't know if I need not only the ship skill but also something else.

Guilder

No problem. Your total levels may be affecting it as well, perhaps? Sadly, this is not an area I have much knowledge in, so I hope a few good maritimers can come by and offer some insights to your problem soon. Cheers, and hope you can figure out a fix soon.

Marlisa, make sure the ship yu're using to battle have a skill in it. or you'll nt earn exp fron the fights.

Marfisa

I have on the ship Paymaster Cabin and Military Camouflage so I'm quite sure there are skills on it, moreover with management and navigation I'm gettimg exp so it shouldn't be the problem.
