Boat Ownership & Usage

Boats can be purchased in deed form from a shipwright. These deeds are unblessed and can be stolen.

• To launch the boat double click the deed and target open water.
• You will receive a key on your person and a key in your backpack. These keys are also unblessed and can be stolen.
• Anyone in possession of a boat key may target the key with the recall spell to recall directly to the boat.
• Anyone in the possession of a key may "drydock" the boat by double clicking on the tillerman.
• Boats cannot be sold back to the NPC Merchants.
• The drydocking process results in a miniature boat in your pack which is blessed and can be replaced by double-clicking and targeting a body of water.
