Exark Crew Guide - Best Crew Members and Assignments
Learn how to hire and assign crew in Exark, which crew members to prioritize, and how crew skills boost your buildings.
What Are Crew Members in Exark?
Crew members are specialists you can hire to work in your buildings. Each crew member has unique skills that boost the building they are assigned to.
How to Hire Crew
You need Inspiration to hire crew members. Inspiration is earned through dedicated buildings and events during your voyage.
How to Assign Crew
Assign crew members to your most important buildings:
| Priority | Building Type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Food buildings | Keep your engine running |
| 2 | Production buildings | Expand your ark faster |
| 3 | Gold buildings | Maximize market efficiency |
Crew Tips
- Always staff key buildings - crew bonuses compound over time.
- Match crew skills to building type.
- Do not leave buildings empty - even a mismatched crew member is better than none.
Specific crew member names, skill values, and unlock conditions are still being verified from the 1.0 release.
