Boating

Boats let you travel the seas of Eren — reach deep-water fishing spots, recover MIB/SOS treasure, and explore islands that cannot be reached any other way.

Obtaining a Boat

Boat deeds are sold by Shipwright NPCs in the coastal towns (Coldstone, Moonvale, Volaria and others).

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

The deed, the boat and its key are all unblessed. When you place the boat on water, a small gold key named "A Ship Key" appears in your backpack — guard it well.

Launching, Boarding and Picking Up

Launching

  1. Find a dock or shoreline with enough open water.
  2. Double-click the boat deed in your backpack.
  3. Target the water to place your boat.
  4. Step onto the boat's plank to board.
  5. Once aboard, pilot the boat with the speech commands below.

Picking Up Your Boat

  1. Pilot your boat to a coastline or dock.
  2. Say "Lower Anchor".
  3. Double-click the plank and exit your boat.
  4. Once on land, double-click the Tiller Man at the rear of the boat and follow the prompt to re-deed it.

Plank Use

  • To lower the plank, double-click the side of the boat (usually the middle towards the back).
  • Once lowered, double-click the plank to teleport onto the boat.
  • If the side says "Locked", double-click the Ship Key in your backpack and target the side of the boat to unlock it.
  • To exit, walk onto the plank — you will be teleported to land whether or not the plank touches shore. You cannot exit while running.

Boating Commands

Say these near the Tiller Man to maneuver:

Command Effect
Raise Anchor Required before the boat can move
Lower Anchor Required before you can pick the boat up
Forward / Forward One Sail forward (One = a single tile)
Back / Back One Reverse (One = a single tile)
Left / Right Sail sideways
Forward Left / Forward Right Sail diagonally forward ("One" variants move a single tile)
Back Left / Back Right Reverse diagonally ("One" variants move a single tile)
Turn Left / Turn Right Rotate the boat
Turn Around Rotate 180 degrees
Stop Stop the boat

Naming Your Boat

Double-click the Tiller Man while aboard. He asks "What dost thou wish to name thy ship?" — then simply type the name of your choosing.

Boat Security

At sea, other players can attack you. If your plank is unlocked they can board your boat and access its hold. To take full control of the boat they need to claim your Ship Key — the same applies if you leave your boat unattended. Keep the key safe and the planks locked.

Boat Decay

A boat left in the water decays like a house. It fully decays after about 9 days without use — using the boat refreshes the timer. When the timer runs out, the boat falls "in danger of collapsing" and you lose it along with everything in its hold. Pick your boat up as a deed when you are done sailing.
