Just had this idea popped in my mind because i dislike the current boat speeds but I also dislike the fact that everyone's so completely reliant on moon mages to get between Aesry and Ratha.

Of course the nature of this skill based travel means if you're way too low level you'd drown and either get wash up at a random shore unconscious or wash up as a corpse.

Actually, I wasn't thinking of big free sailing ships, more like the Aesry currachs which you kinda spawn up and are too small to sail across to the mainland with but enough so you can at least sail from Aesry to Ratha. I mean from a design/practicality view its pretty silly Aesry is within gweth range to Ratha but there's no inter-transportation besides moon gates.

For those you then don't actually have to program any full fledge ships, just have a deed, goto he docks, spawn a "currach"/boat, and sail on.


Of course, I don't have clear conceptualization of just how far the islands are from each other so maybe you're right and we do need at least ships big enough with a small cabin. Aesry does register only on the K-gweths after all even tho in everyday life it doesn't "feel" far.

>I hope someone tackles the entire boating issue after 3.0.

I volunteer Kodius. He hasn't been doing much recently, and I'm sure he'd enjoy some work.
