#ARCHEAGE SHIPWRECK MAP SKIN#

The wharf manager repairs even badly damaged ships for chump change, which is nice. Then I finally headed back to Port Epheria. In a game that’s overall very, very solo-centric this strikes me as a bit odd, but it is what it is. Much of the game’s oceanic content seems to be designed with guild members working together in mind. I would find out later that it can only be sold to a guild shop though, so the silver goes to the guild account, not your own. At least it had a cumulative worth of just over three million silver, which ain’t bad. It had dropped something after all, albeit only sell-loot. Give me my loot, dammit, you’re not taking it down with you! Since I didn’t get loot right away I dove after the wreck to check if there really wasn’t any. So much so that it definitely wasn’t viable to fight anything else without fully repairing it first. I did sink it, but it took quite a while, and as you can see my ship took a serious beating too. I chose a small pirate ship for my first target. Before leaving Port Epheria I’d accepted some daily quests to kill various sea monsters and pirate ships for even more sailing XP, which I wanted to try now.īoth monsters and ships are abundant on the open sea, so I didn’t even have to actively look for them. I completed a few more quests in the area, then decided to head back towards the mainland – I had some more things to attend to on the way. Since this item doesn’t slow you down like a normal trade item does I figured I’d just sail back to Epheria, then take it the rest of the way on horseback. I chose to bring it to Altinova, the second farthest option. I also took a quest to deliver a special trade item to one of four possible destinations, the reward being a big chunk of sailing XP. Of course I would have liked to fill my cargo hold with exotic goods for the journey home, but my trading skill level was too low to buy them. Oh well, I just hope the continent will be developed eventually.įor now I had to be content with advancing the quest and selling my trade goods, which indeed yielded a nice distance bonus. If you can see it, you can reach it had always been the game’s motto. Until now I’d never hit an invisible wall anywhere. I was pretty disappointed to discover this, especially because it’s so atypical of BDO. All NPCs are located right at the piers you see on the left and right. Actually it’s not even a proper town, everything but the lowest level is just backdrop, closed off by invisible or actuall walls.

Unfortunately the continent itself isn’t developed yet, so islands aside the town is the only accessible part of it. This beautiful, asian-styled little town is called Port Ratt, and it’s at the time of this writing the first and only settlement of a whole new continent. It turned out that I’d veered a bit too far to the west, so I corrected my course and headed due north for the last leg of the journey.Īfter passing a bunch of islands, some small, some pretty huge, my destination finally came into sight. They look pretty cool, I’ll give them that.Īfter traversing the open sea for maybe 15 minutes total the map flickered to life again. I assume both storms and ghostships indeed serve as roadblocks more than anything, preventing AFK travel. It didn’t leave any loot behind, but I guess it can’t really be expected for this little effort. Give my regards to Davy Jones, you scallywags Good thing I had brought those cannon balls.

Would use that skin for my own ship in a heartbeat

I think I’ll sail right through next time, just to see what happens.Ī bit further I hit another road…err…seablock. The lighting changed dramatically from one moment to the next and that whirlwind appeared right in front of me. The first obstacle wasn’t long in coming. Since map and waypoints can’t be used on the open sea I set a course roughly to the northwest and just hoped for the best. I filled my ship’s cargohold with trade items bought in Port Epheria in hopes of getting a hefty distance bonus, stocked up on cannon balls and ship repair kits, then off I went. After all I was eager to take out my new frigate and explore the open sea, brave its dangers and hopefully make some profit in the process.Ī quest I had had for quite some time wanted me to visit a settlement quite a distance away, on the other side of the Margorian sea, so that’s where I was headed first.

I engaged in more of Black Desert Online’s oceanic content during the past week, because of course I did.
