WARNING: If you log out in a boat, and someone happens to move the boat, you will be stuck in the water unable to move, unless you swim which is very dangerous.
Rowboats are currently one of the three available forms of nautical transportation other than Swimming and Rafts.
On top of being the fastest mode of nautical transportation, a rowboat can hold up to two liftable items (such as containers or constructions) and travel at running speed in water. Rowboats can also carry up to two people, a navigator and a passenger, and are liftable themselves but cannot be placed inside other Rowboats, Carts, Wagons or other similar objects.
Since Rowboats can carry 2 two liftable items, like Coffers or Crates, players can use Rowboats to transport a much larger number of items at faster speeds.
Usage
To board a rowboat, right-click on the boat and select "Avast". When you are ready to leave the rowboat, you must press Ctrl+left-click in the direction you wish to get out. If you have swimming, be careful you do not select to get out into deep water while swimming is enabled (disabled by default) or you may accidentally drown. Those without the Swimming skill do not need to worry since the game will prevent you from exiting the rowboat into deep water without the skill.
The passenger can fish as well, but it takes a few dozen clicks of the person commanding the boat with the fishing cursor on top of themselves to restart fishing without moving the boat. The passenger has to spam the fishing skill click in the water around them, and eventually it will work. It is recommended that the passenger get themselves their own boat, as this can be a bit frustrating to work properly.
Notes
- Rowboats can only be built on land.
- Rowboats cannot carry animals or vehicles; a Raft must be used to transport large livestock or wagons.
- You can pick up objects while in a boat, such as other boats or objects on the shoreline, but you can only drop them once you have exited the boat.
- If you log out while in a Rowboat, it will remain where you logged out. People who can swim could move it while you aren't there! You won't drown, but if you haven't learned swimming (or don't have enough LP to learn it) you'll be stuck, unable to move off that tile.
- Rowboat speed - 7.5 tile per second.
- Boats, just like wagons, can travel freely trough claimed areas without the need for criminal action. (Exit the boat with care when doing so.)
Gameplay
- Since boat stealing could earn you the wrath of the more physically capable players, it might be best to hide your extra boats.
