Introduction and Tips for the Harbour
With the release of patch 2.6.8, Infinity Kingdom introduced a revamped Harbour feature, transforming it into a continuous exploration activity where players dispatch immortals on their ship to gather resources and experience. This guide delves into the mechanics of the new Harbour, offering strategies to optimize your rewards. This guide is a beginners guide to understanding the Harbour. I will include some recommendations with what I am doing as a player in Preperation stage on the verge of entering season 1 queueing. As such, this guide is most relevant for newer players who want to understand how it works as well as for players that are looking for quick tips on how to manage their Harbour.

Basics at the Harbour Mechanics
Continuous Sailing
- Continuous Exploration: Unlike the previous long voyages, the new system allows the ship to continuously sail, collecting rewards and EXP.
- EXP and Leveling: Experience points increase your ship’s level, which in turn enhances the quality and quantity of rewards.

Dispatching Immortals
- Crew Assignment: Immortals assigned to the ship’s crew cannot participate in marches but remain available for Arena and Throne activities.

- Rotating Immortal Compositions: Periodically, certain immortals will offer bonus rewards when dispatched. It’s crucial to rotate your crew according to these bonuses to maximize gains.

Weather Conditions
- Impact on Rewards: Weather changes can affect the reward probability:
- Sunny: +5% other rewards
- Overcast: No change
- Downpour: -2%
- Windy: -3%

Strategies for Optimizing Rewards
Utilizing Bonus Immortals
- Bonus Rewards: Deploying bonus immortals can significantly increase the likelihood of obtaining rare and other rewards.
- Regular Checks: Always check for updates on the bonus immortals and adjust your crew accordingly to ensure you are receiving the optimal bonuses.

Immortal Levels and Star Ratings
- Reward Boosts Based on Crew Quality: The level and star rating of your immortals can improve your drop rates:
- Basic threshold: 5 immortals at minimum level 1 and star level 1 for a 3% bonus.
- Higher thresholds: Increase in increments as your ship levels up and allows more immortals on board, with the highest being 16 immortals at level 60 and star level 8 for a 25% bonus.
Thresholds (bonus applies to both rare and other):
3% bonus: 5 Epic immortals at min. level 1, tier level 0 and at star level 0.
5% bonus: 6 Epic immortals at min. level 10, tier level 0 and at star level 0.
7% bonus: 7 Epic immortals at min. level 15, tier level 0 and at star level 0.
9% bonus: 8 Epic immortals at min. level 20, tier level 0 and at star level 1.
11% bonus: 9 Epic immortals at min. level 25, tier level 5 and at star level 2.
13% bonus: 10 Epic immortals at min. level 30, tier level 8 and at star level 3.
15% bonus: 11 Epic immortals at min. level 35, tier level 10 and at star level 4.
17% bonus: 12 Epic immortals at min. level 40, tier level 15 and at star level 5.
19% bonus: 13 Epic immortals at min. level 45, tier level 18 and at star level 6.
21% bonus: 14 Epic immortals at min. level 50, tier level 20 and at star level 7.
23% bonus: 15 Epic immortals at min. level 55, tier level 25 and at star level 7.
25% bonus: 16 Epic immortals at min. level 60, tier level 30 and at star level 7.
Needless to say, reaching the higher levels of bonuses requires a massive investment in terms of EXP, Gold and Immortal Fragments (that could have been Purple Crystals). As such, only in late conquest should anyone get anywhere close to reaching the higher end of these bonuses.
Preperation Stage Servers: In a preperation stage server, you will not have anything to spare. Everything you have should be used to max out your main and the little you spare goes into a secondary team once season 2 of arena comes out and in time to have something to use for season 1 of Legion of Frostborne in the secondary slot. This means you want to aim for a % bonus that is easily doable with minimal investment.
My personal favorite level is around 7% or 9%. This is because it requires relatively little EXP, getting level 15 or 20 is quite easily doable. Moreover, you do not have to invest any gold what so ever into tier levels and 7% requires no immortal fragments made into Star levels and 9% requires just a single star (30 fragments).
Season 1-2 ish an onwards: Once you progress into the next seasons with your server, resources quickly become more abundant. Therefore, you should begin moving a bit up the ladder on the bonus chart. I would aim for the 11% or 13% bonus by then, simply because they are not getting into the super Gold expensive tiers in terms of Tier Levels yet. You will need a bit of Fragments for this, but with the new Golden Path and having progressed beyond C40 at this stage, you should be able to collect enough. If you are strained for crystals for your ToK skills on your main and secondary team, stay at 7-9%.
As you progress into later seasons and eventually Conquest, you should be starting to stockpile EXP and Immortal Fragments are still abundance, hence you are able to move further if you want to. Gold may still be a strain, but if you do Infernal events correctly you should have plenty of that in the end on Conquest servers. Hence you can progress onto the later levels.
Is it worth the investment though? I would say so. As you upgrade your Harbour level past level 40 you begin to collect Shadow Immortal Fragments. Past level 45 you begin to collect Holy Immortal Fragments and after level 50 you even collect Chaos Immortal Fragments at a quite decent rate! That means that adding a few % bonus can yield a quite significant payout for end-game players and save you a lot of real money as you progress into Holy or even Chaos!

Rewards and Progression
- Early Rewards: Initial levels yield speedups, gold, resources, and Random Immortal Fragments, which summon an Epic immortal of a random element.
- Progressive Enhancement: Rewards improve as the ship levels up, emphasizing the importance of continuously upgrading and managing your crew effectively.

Conclusion
The new Harbour feature in Infinity Kingdom offers a dynamic way to engage with the game, providing continuous rewards while demanding strategic management of your crew and their assignments. By effectively utilizing the rotating immortal bonuses, adapting to weather conditions, and strategically leveling your ship and crew, you can maximize your gains from this feature. Stay tuned for future updates as more insights become available on later-tier rewards. Keep your crew prepared and ready to set sail on profitable adventures in the ever-expanding seas of Norheim!
