What Does the Procure Stat Do in Dave the Diver?
The Procure stat determines the upper limit of seasoning your staff members can bring back after they’ve been dispatched. You’ll see the option to dispatch a staff member in the staff roster. This is the same menu where you can train and dismiss them.
On a related note, don’t confuse dispatching with dismissing! The former sends staff out to collect seasoning from the sea. The latter fires them.
Keep in mind that high Procure stats don’t necessarily mean that staff members will always bring back a huge haul. It only means that they have the potential to collect more seasoning per dispatch. On the flip side, the Appeal stat determines the minimum amount of goods they’ll return with on such missions.
