General

Voyage Century is the first 3D nautical online game in MMORPG history, gives priority to scene of sea, with scene of land as supplement. The amphibious battle brings you more enjoyment.

In traditional game, you have to choose one class, warrior, mage or others when you create your character. However, Voyage Century provide you with a freely way to create your character. You won’t get stuck spending all your time in a class you will get tired of. Every new character has the same attribute at the beginning; you could pursue a merchant career, then sigh up with the navy, or work your way as an adventure and even become a dastardly pirate. Also you could become a farmer, axman, miner, sewing, doctor or whatever you want to be according to your own favor. We’ve taken the shackles off of RPGs and given you the freedom to pursue your own destiny.

 Following are some information about each class:

The characteristic of Warrior: A warrior is accomplished with both sea battle and land battle, furthermore, adept at fighting against any enemy and playing the role of frigate or pirate in the game.

The characteristic of Artisan: Most weapons, clothes, potion, ship and ship equipment are made by player themselves. The got-up items are with lower-cost and higher quality than the merchandise in the NPC. The artisan is logistic supporter in the game. The specialized skill of artisan includes mining, Timber-building, Planting, Fishing, Shipbuilding, Process, Foundry, Sewing and Alchemy.  

The characteristic of Pirate: A pirate is skill in voyaging, adventuring and exploring. Become a pirate is the dream of the players who have a liking for adventure, travel and looking for treasure. The specialized skill of pirate is still a mystery. In a word, make the choice of your own class, master your own destiny, and truly live the Legend, do whatever you can imagine.  

Trade:

There are special local products in every port. All the products in game are distributed according to their area, such as the sculpture in Genovese, the painting in Athens, the coffee in Brazil, the ivory in Africa, the silk in Hangzhou. The players can make profit from the price difference in each area. The same as in real, there will not be an everlasting way to amass fortune. In Voyage Century, the price of the goods will be fluctuated according to the change of supply-demand situation. In such dynamic trade system, wise merchant will make rich profit by grasping the information about geography, climate, pirate and the amity between cities. In the game, there are various ways to earn money, such as selling special local product to other countries, planting, fishing and mining. The system will show clue on the prevalent articles in each country every other cycle. With this information, the merchant will make a rich profit from the price difference by selling the prevalent articles. 

Certainly, the trade between players also plays an important role in the game. Each takes whatever he needs by the trade. If the materials you need were decentralized all over the world, it would be a waste of time and energy to collect all of them by oneself. However, if other players bring the material you need from other countries, you will get twice the result with half the effort by trading with him. Thus, trade is significant in Voyage Century.

September 04, 2008 11:07pm

We believe many rookies will be at their wits' end figuring out what must be done and how to realize quick character progress at the moment you start playing a MMORPG game. Now, the Voyage Century Online team is making fast progress even easier by tailor-making three progress routes to get you off to a good start.Ships in VCO usually fall into three main categories, Warship, Raider and Merchant Ship. Warships boast extraordinary performance in naval combat due to the extensive Gun Emplacement they have. Raiders sail at a high speed with the most sailors on board. They are an excellent choice for close combat. Merchant Ships are for trade. When looking at a ship’s health, Merchant Ships have the most HP, Warship second most and Raiders have the least. However, the population of sailors on Raiders is the highest. Warships are staffed by fewer sailors, and Merchant Ships have the fewest. So, depending on your preferred style of play, practical strategies can be worked out for any of these 3 classes of ships. 

Progress with Raiders :
1. Buy a new ship from the Shipyard Boss at the dock. Transform this ship into a level 1 Raider with two pieces of wood and two bars of iron with help from the Shipyard Boss.
2. Players can find helpful posts in VOC’s forum guiding them to locate the Level 1 Finding at sea. Just remember to make sure you have enough sailors and supplies on board.3. The location of the Level 1 Finding will keep flashing. Set sail to the center of the flashing area and send 5 to 10 sailors to discover this Level 1 Finding.4. After getting control of the Level 1 Finding, players will accumulate much gold which can be used to open most of the European Maps. Then go to the Shipyard in Genoa to transform the current Raider into a level 2 Raider while also tracking the Level 2 Finding. Do not stop repeating this circle until all the Findings at all levels have been found.5. Using a Raider may require players to have certain naval fighting and navigation skills. Players can even have a go at a Dragon Head Gunboat to improve these required skills.

Progress with Warships :
1. You don’t need to do any transformation to these ships. Dragon Head Gunboats are available completely prepared for battle on the high seas. 2. You will get exp by killing pirates on the Crete Battlefield. It will help you a lot if you buy special Cannon Balls in the four newbie cities. 3. When your naval war level goes up, it is the time for you to learn the Guard skill and to survive the cruel war.4. Be advised, your ship must be outfitted with special sailing gear to reduce the damage inflicted upon the sailors on board.5: When you are at a high level, you can use high level Mines to kill fish when it blows up. Five players who team up to do this will get a lot of EXP. 

Progress route with Merchant Ships:
1. You set sail by Dragon Head Gunboat to do trade and find the origin of goods.2. You will get money and EXP by selling goods.3. Pay attention to some rare goods that are produced in two faraway cities. In this case, you will get the profits for selling the goods in the nearest city.4. When you are at a high level, you can learn Purchasing to buy high level goods.5. You must team up to do trade. Skilled merchants prefer sailing on small boats and doing trade. If you are in a team, you can make it much easier to trade by just doing what others do and ask whenever you feel puzzled or something is misunderstood.
