MediaWiki:Boats and Pirating

Boats

We’ve redesigned the way boats work in order to make them a little less secure so as to encourage pirating.

• You must have the boat key on your person to command the boat
• your ghost may command the boat as long as your corpse on the boat has the key on it.
• Bone decay times have been increased for bones on a boat when they hold a key
• you can now dry dock a boat that has ghosts onboard (they get kicked to shore.)
• you may not dry dock a boat with clutter on deck (including bones)
• You can no longer recall off a boat key, but single clicking it will display where it is located.

Grappling Hooks

The Pirate Smuggler NPC sells grappling hooks. A grappling hook is a rope with a big hook on it used to board a boat.

• You must be on a boat to use a grappling hook.
• You may only successfully grapple a boat that is not moving.
• Any living players on the boat you grapple will “toss the hook back into the ocean” whereby resulting in a failed grapple.
• If you successfully grapple a boat, you will receive a one-time teleport onto the deck of the target boat.
