Beginner Guide.

Getting started in Naviage.

Do the tutorial, do not skip it even if you've done it before, the rewards are worthwhile. Follow the quest line, again the rewards are worth it. They also help you develop at a decent rate. Remember the steps to do things as you were told to do them in the tutorial, if you need to, write them down. Build up your Labor Market and Trade market as high as a possible as soon as possible. these will increase your income and speed up construction of buildings. Both will be very important once you hit Baron and Viscount.

Many people seem to get hung up on one of the quests you will get shortly after finishing the tutorial and that is the quest to purchase a new dock. We will outline here what you need to do to complete this quest.

Have a fleet with a minimum of 10,000 gold on it. We suggest having 40,000 gold and will explain why in a later step.

Have management tech researched to level 1.

Go to the Dock Purser in the Customs Office or the Dock Manager in your Dock Plaza.

Select the fleet by choosing trade in the list of options next to the fleet name.

Your map will now open up. Click the port you wish your fleet to move to and choose "Command", then click "Daparture"...your fleet will now begin sailing to the new port.

Once your ship has arrived enter the port and click on "Town Hall" at the top center of your screen.

Click on "Port Official" and you will see the button to purchase a new dock, click it.

Now we will explain why I said to take 40k instead of 10k in the beginning...

Once you have purchased your dock you will want it to begin making money for you so click on dock on the top right.

Click on the warehouse then the Warehouse Manager.

Move 20,000 gold from your fleet to the warehouse and close the warhouse interface.

Use the 20,000 to build a Trade Market.

Now your ship should have nearly 10,000 gold left depending on distance from the port you sailed it from. Buy something and bring it back to your main port for sale and profit.
