Boating

Boating allows players to travel across the seas, reach remote fishing spots, finding habitable islands, engage in sea treasure hunting. Boats are required for activities such as deep-water fishing, MIB/SOS treasure retrieval, and exploring islands that are otherwise inaccessible.

Obtaining a Boat

Boats are typically purchased from Shipwright NPCs in major coastal towns (e.g., Coldstone, Moonvale, Volaria, etc.).

Prices vary by boat type (small, medium, large, dragon-boat style, etc.).

Small Ship 20,354gp
Small Dragon Ship 20,354gp
Medium Ship 23,104gp
Medium Dragon Ship 23,104gp
Large Ship 25,854gp

Double-click the deed will place an unblessed small boat in your backpack. Once the boat is placed on the water, an unblessed small gold key named “A Ship Key” will appear in your backpack.

Launching, Boarding, and Picking Up Your Boat

Launching

  1. Find a suitable dock or shoreline with enough open water.
  2. Double-click the boat in your backpack.
  3. Target the water to place your boat.
  4. Step onto the boat’s plank to board.
  5. Once boarded, you can pilot the boat using commands.

Picking Up Your Boat

  1. Pilot your boat to a coastline or dock.
  2. Use the command “Lower Anchor”.
  3. Double click on your plank and exit your boat.
  4. Once on land, double click the Tiller Man in the rear of the boat and follow the prompt.

Plank Use

Boating Commands

To maneuver your boat, you will need to use the following commands:

Boat Security

If you are at sea, it is possible for other players to attack you. If your planks are unlocked, they can board your boat and access its hold. In order for them to take control of your boat, they will have to claim your Ship Key. This is the same if you leave your boat unattended.

Boat Decay

If you have a house or a spot where you would like to leave your boat deployed, it will accumulate a decay (the same as a house). Over this period, you will have Seven days until your boat is placed on an IDOC (In Danger of Collapsing) status, and you will lose your boat along with any items left within its hold.

Naming Your Boat

While in your launched boat, you can double click the Tiller Man. He will say “What dost thou wish to name thy ship?. You must then type in the name of your choosing.
