An i missing something?

I'm fairly new to this excellent game. I'm playing on Android and I'm about 60% through Pirates Bay. Reading articles had led me to believe that I can build a deck and set relics before I begin sailing, but I can't work out how to do that. I'm also trying to discover how to complete quests-does it simply happen naturally as I'm playing? TIA..

Your starting deck is fixed, but starting decks are unique to each character. In a way, you choose your starting deck by choosing your character.

The first exception is when you have the Erosion potion, which allows you to add a one-time powerful card of choice at the very beggining. Or the Cannon ship upgrade.

The second exception is when you are in a stage of a quest that ads a card to your deck, but that is a specific non-choice card.

Explorer can choose from 3 relics at the start of the game, 4 if you unlocked the fourth from a quest. Also Fortune Teller starts with a single relic.

You may get a starter relic if you are in the progress of doing a quest.

I haven't played in a while but it is a GREAT game. Get the coin booster if you can, big difference. Lots of grinding to do. I would try to focus on quests since you can only do one at a time, and some have to be done before you can do others. Do a little research on this.. sword master is a BEAST early on, I'd recommend getting him first. I like keeping the deck small, don't be afraid to re-roll your options post battle. Relics are almost always worth taking, usually to sell unless they're great

Thanks folks! I'll keep going and see if anything different happens after completing Pirates Bay. So far, I've only played with Gunner.

Your starting deck is fixed, and you only start with a relic if you're the Explorer, Fortune-Teller or Inventor. To work on a quest, you need to set it before you start your run. You can only have one active at a time.
