Ryu-Kan is a crewmember who joins as "Artisan". His recruitment is completely unique, and as such makes him arguably one of the toughest to get.
Information
Ryu-Kan can only be recruited after reaching the rank of "Vyse the Daring" or higher. In the Gamecube version, you must do this either before dropping to "Fallen Pirate" or after defeating and reporting Vize.
Profile
Ryu-Kan desires to speak only with the worthy. As a result, he seems apathetic to Vyse's presence when at a rank lower than "Daring". After recruiting him and before upgrading his shop, he seems dissatisfied and tired. Once his shop has been upgraded, he will ask Vyse about "Velorium" a type of metal that can be only found in Deep Sky. Once the "Vorlik Blade" has been made, he will ask if Vyse if it's being put to good use. (The Valorium's exclusive location implies that it was a Silvite invention.) He will give a proverb whenever Vyse exits his shop.
Ryu-Kan is
hermit, and found on a small island in the southeast corner of the entire map past the dark rift.
