The Adventurer’s Guide #2 - Meet the J-Team

[h2]Ahoy, adventurers![/h2]

We’re back with another edition of our guide. This time around, we’ll be taking a closer look at those who suffer and benefit the most from all your adventuring—the Port of Jumanah citizens! We asked them how best to get to know them. They all said, 'You need to wishlist ‘Port of Jumanah’!

[h2]Wishlisted? Good, now we can meet them all individually![/h2]



[h3]Captain Salim[/h3]
Captain Salim is a legend. He’s the wise and caring leader of the Port of Jumanah. What a lovely guy! Let’s hope nothing bad has happened to him recently.

Oh, right. You completely wrecked his ship, and now he’s stuck on the shore, away from his beloved ocean. Great job!

Fear not, Captain Salim, in all his kindness, did not put you in the same place where his lovely ship is now. But you’ll still repay him by taking on the missions he gives you.



[h3]Bu Coffee[/h3]
What’s the best thing after a good adventure? A good ol’ cup of coffee! And who’s got the best coffee in all of Jumanah? Bu Coffee, of course!

This sweet old man is always happy to serve you his special brew. He sees challenging adventure as a great learning opportunity for someone as young and spry as you.

Please don’t wrong this loveable and friendly coffee brewer; our hearts won’t take it.



[h3]Um Mango[/h3]
Um, what’s better than a Mango? Capitalism, of course!

You might be a master of the oceans (well, master is a strong word), but Um Mango is a seasoned businesswoman worth her weight in salt. When you visit her shop, do not expect discounts and nonsense; she’s a capitalist through and through.

But the most exciting thing about this sweet old merchant is… [BUY ‘UM MANGO’ LORE BUNDLE FOR $4.99 TO LEARN MORE]



[h3]Professor Aisha[/h3]
Look, punching fish in the face with your bare fists is fun for a while. But even fish-beating needs innovation. And that’s where Professor Aisha comes in!

This quirky and brilliant inventor is the one you go to for all kinds of gizmos, doohickeys, contraptions, and MacGuffins. Visit her in the Port of Jumanah if you need a new tool for your adventures or an urgent scientific question that requires a complex answer.




Ah, what a lovely time we had while meeting some of the Port of Jumanah citizens today! You’re still not ready to conquer the underworld, but maybe you’re finally ready to meet… you?

Who are you? Let’s find out in the next Adventure Guides!

The Adventurer’s Guide #1 - Ocean is Life

[h2]Ahoy, adventurers![/h2]

All of you want to conquer the oceans, and hopefully, most of you have a better reason than Mansour, who does it because he has to but not really because he wants to. Through these Guides, you will learn everything (or at least something) about being a successful adventurer!

The first step is the most important one… You need to wishlist ‘Port of Jumanah’!

[h2]Wishlisted? Good, now we can move on to the next steps![/h2]



[h3]Cruising the blue[/h3]
Ah, the vast oceans! That’s what you’re here for! Your missions will take you across many places, and each ocean will offer different challenges, missions, and enemies! With the rogue-lite nature of the game, each mission will be unique, so you will never get tired* of jumping from your ship into the unpredictable underwater depths!

*That’s an order, by the way. You. Will. Never. Get. Tired.



[h3]Choosing your crew[/h3]
You’ve got a ship and a desire for adventure, but do you have your crew? In Port of Jumanah, your crew is essential since each member provides a unique ability that will help you in missions! Complete missions to earn the trust of the Jumanah citizens and invite them to travel with you!

And don’t forget about the cat. You can hire a cat.



[h3]Upgrading your pew-pew[/h3]
Punching fish is great! That’s why some of you decided to become adventurers, I bet. But remember - punching isn’t always the answer… Because you can shoot them and blow them up! HAHAHAHA! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, FISH?! HUH?! Sorry about that. Anyways, during your travels in ‘Port of Jumanah’ you will find multiple ways to upgrade your gear, so don’t miss them! Some aforementioned crew members will offer you upgrades, and you will become more powerful by leveling up.

You can never predict what each mission will turn into, but they can result in sweet-sweet upgrades, so don’t miss them!


[h3]Helping the nice folks [/h3]
Let’s get serious for a second. We can’t be adventurers without the people who rely on us being cool. So every time you jump into the water, every time you open a hidden treasure chest, every time you PUNCH THAT FISH IN THE FINS… remember that you’re doing this not only because it’s fun and the best occupation in the world but because you’re helping people stuck on the shores while you’re riding the waves.

If you’re in a city, don’t skip talking to people because they can give you interesting and unique missions that will offer you unexpected encounters, convoluted storylines, and that sweet feeling of somebody not that cool relying on your skills.





Well, are you ready to conquer the depths?
No. The answer is no.

This was only the first issue of our Adventurer’s Guide, and we’re only getting started! Come back for more useful tips about being an adventurer in the coming weeks and months!
