So what wheel prizes I'm looking for in my US main are these:
- Sunken Treasure (Goods and FP production)
- 1 of Any selection kit (for building another ship
- Royal Selection kits (25 stored FP)
- Shrines of Knowledge (FP production)
- Maybe fishing huts?, but Oasises would be much better
I don't need any happiness buildings because I got an Alcatraz.
Now for my Finnish main, I would love any of the prizes above, but I probably want a lot of Rogue hideouts because the world is extremely new, so instead of having tons of unattached rogues from an Alcatraz, I need tons of rogue hideouts. Nobody on that world is in PE, so tough luck for me to get an Alcatraz, so many rogue hideouts are the way to go.
If one does all of the quests, they will, guaranteed, have enough doubloons to get the 6 ship upgrades for one specialized ship. However, if one wants to get 12 ship upgrades for two specialized ships, then you need to get on average 1.911 map pieces per doubloon. My Finnish main already got some terrible luck with map pieces with I think ~1.4 map pieces per doubloon, but my US main got ~1.83 map pieces per doubloon, so I don't really know if I could get 12 ship upgrades.
On my Finnish main, I was forced to go into IA to fulfill many of the summer quests, but I kept my blacksmiths so I could cram as many productions to fulfill the questline quickly. Unfortunately, I was a big idiot because I forgot to start a 24-hour production yesterday and aided everyone that day, which would screw me over and delay my progress on the questline. (You'll need 100 people to aid, and 1 24-hour production to fulfill the main questline, just a heads up).
