The aide system in the game is also a relatively important gameplay feature, useful from adventures to commerce and even combat. Therefore, when choosing, you still need to pay attention to some details. Below, I will tell you how to play the aide system in the Age of Great Voyages. If you are still unsure about how to choose your aides, then you must follow my steps closely. The following will provide a detailed guide on the aide system's gameplay, as well as recommendations for effective aides.

One, Aide Configuration Rules:
1. Hiring Limit: Each player can have up to five aides at most.
2. Escort Mechanism: Only two aides are allowed to accompany the action at the same time, with the remaining aides needing to stay in the player's apartment.
Two, Hiring Methods:
1. Hiring Locations: At the tavern owners in the main ports of each region, different ports offer different aides.
2. Special Hiring Conditions: Some aides require completing maritime rescue missions to obtain a "Sailor's Letter of Thanks," while others require using premium items to acquire them.
Three, Aide Unlocking Conditions
1. First Aide: When any player level reaches 20.
2. Second Aide: After hiring the first aide, any player level reaching 40, and the first aide reaching level 20.
3. Third Aide: After hiring two aides, owning a high-level apartment, and needing to leave one aide behind to make space.
4. Fourth Aide: After hiring three aides, upgrading the high-level apartment to Rank 3.
Fifth Aide: After hiring four aides, completing the East Asia Imperial Edict mission. It should be noted that when hiring from the third to fifth aide, at least one aide with a single skill level of 20+ (not necessarily in the escort state) is required.

Four, Aide Selection:
1. Since the skills of aides without water and food do not take effect, and the skill books for aides are very cheap and have no time limit, many aide skills become quite useless. Most of the time, only the corresponding correction skills need to be chosen.
2. For adventure aides, the presence of aide skills is already very low, just choose good-looking aides. If you really need to choose, then select Edgar and Pierre from Marseilles and Wen Zhi from Hangzhou.
3. The significance of commercial aides is not great either, but if considering self-production, then choose the aides corresponding to the five major productions. The corresponding aides are Sylvia for cooking, Hans for sharp blades, Julie for casting, Cardina for storage, and Uriel for public welfare, which exactly correspond to the five aide positions, suitable for specialized production roles.
4. The significance of combat aides is the greatest, because the bullet defense skills cannot be attached, so the aides need to have full bullet defense. The combat aides are Alan, Alvin, Regina, and Zarion, these four aides can gather all bullet defenses, and have loading, plundering, obstruction, binding, and shipbuilding +1 skills. In actual gameplay, most players dual-specialize in military and exploration or exploration and commerce. If you are sure you will not engage in naval battles, then the choice of aides is very casual, just pick a few that you like. If considering future naval battle needs, then these four spring aides are undoubtedly the first choice.

Five, Points to Note:
1. Skill Slot Expansion: Increases according to the number of hireable aides after completing the East Asia Imperial Edict, with an upper limit of 5 slots (counted in the total number of level rewards). When the player's total level across all dimensions reaches 240, the skill slots are fixed at 50.
2. Captain's Bag Expansion: Each aide adds +1 slot.
3. Equipment System: Any profession's equipment can be worn by aides, but it must meet gender requirements. However, the equipment only changes appearance, with no attribute bonuses, and once equipped, it cannot be reclaimed; when replacing new equipment, the original equipment is automatically destroyed.

The above is the guide on how to play the aide system in the Age of Great Voyages brought to you by the editor. Overall, the gameplay of this system is relatively simple, but carrying multiple aides also requires gradually cultivating their levels. You can choose and match according to your own needs.
