To sail using a ship you must board and find the steering area and be level 19
or higher.
Dock actions:
board [ship] - board a ship, you use this to board your ship
and to load your ship
recall ship - recall your ship from a different dock,
only works if you have enough crew
Ship actions:
steer [direction|id] - steer your ship one unit in a direction or to id,
when docked you <steer out>, to dock a ship just do <steer dock>
read map - read the map if you have the option installed
on your ship, this will list your ships current coordinates
lower [anchor|ladder] - you lower the ladder when docked
to leave your ship when sailing you lower the anchor to stop your
ship from moving
raise [ladder|anchor] - raise ladder so you can leave
dock, and keep people from boarding your ship raise the anchor so
your ship can move again
sail [x,y | logbook record] - sail your ship to a set of
coordinates or a place you have recorded in your logbook,
requires hiring at least one or two crew
anchor ship - same as lower anchor
scan horizon - looks to see if anything is in the water,
spot islands, this will help you locate islands and other things
in the ocean.
block [person|all] - will block a player from boarding
your boat if you have a crew, if all it will stop everyone but
your self from boarding
stop blocking [person|all] - will stop blocking person
or everyone from board your ship
If you have bought a logbook:
check logbook - this will allow you to check to see
what coordinates you have recorded
record [name] - you can record current coordinates to
later return to for easier management,
names can be no longer then 12 characters
erase [name] - remove a recorded set of coordinates
from your logbook
Trouble shooting:
Boarding ship - if you are unable to board your ship, try <recall ship> first,
if still unable to board try <board [player name]>, if still having
issues contact an immortal, and remember to ensure you see the ship
you are trying to board is docked and visible in the room look.
Note: ships are not visible in the dock if they have not been
loaded or used after a period of time, try board/recall
Steering ship - if you are unable to steer or sail your ship ensure you
are in the correct room, ensure there is a wheel or you can try <look logbook>
Ensure you have hired at lease 1 crew, you can not sail a ship without
at least one crew but you can manually <steer [direction]>
