Ships

Sailing will be pretty in-depth and it's going to be based on the size of the ship that you're using. So there will be components for seamanship that other players you will need to have on board if you want to operate a vessel to the best of it's abilities: Let's say in combat or traversing just the world.[8] – Steven Sharif
Ships are owned by the player who has the ship item in their inventory. Only that player can summon the ship.[9]
- Ship creation is generally delegated to players. There won't be many non-player-owned ships.[10]
- For the most part all ship creation will be delegated to the player. You have to build up a ship or find somebody who has one if you want to get across the seas.[10] – Steven Sharif
- Permissions will be present to allow other players to access ship functions who are in the same party or raid, such as weapons, anchors, utility items, and the ship's helm to navigate the ship.[9]
- Players will have quests that navigate them toward creating a personal vessel at around level 10-15.[12]
Ship classes
Ships are divided into classes of vessel, which relate to their size and capabilities in battle and in transportation.[2][14][5]
Size | Type | Usage.[5] | Crew.[6] |
---|---|---|---|
Small | Personal vessels.[12] | Solo/personal content.[2] | 1-3 |
Medium | Frigates.[15] | Group content.[2] | Group size (8) |
Large | Galleons.[3][4] | Raid content.[2] | Raid size (40) |
The amount of crew required in order for a ship to be effective depends on the ship's class.[16]
- All ship classes minimally require a captain to drive the ship.[16]
- Certain ship classes will have the ability to render Crowd control (CC) effects on other ships, such as a harpoon effects.[17]
- Ships have their own class of vessel and the class that is related to the vessel has a certain purpose both in battle, in PvE raids, in transportation.[14] – Steven Sharif
Naval content refers to content above and below the sea.[15][20]
- Aquatic mounts.[20]
- Coastal nodes.[15][21]
- Fortresses.[15]
- Harbors.[22][23][15]
- Island chains.[20]
- Naval caravans.[24]
- Naval NPCs.[15]
- Naval PvP.[24]
- Quests.[15]
- Raids.[15][24]

- Trade routes.[20]
- Treasure hunting.[15][20]
- Underwater dungeons.[24]
Enhanced naval content was unlocked as part of the $1,500,000 Kickstarter stretch goal.[25]
There will not initially be naval content (such as a Dark Lake) in the Underrealm, but this may be something that gets added in future expansions.[26]
There won't be class abilities that are specific to naval content, but some utility skills (such as underwater breathing) may be of some benefit.[27]
