Old School RuneScape – Sailing

Explore the vast ocean of Gielinor and chart the seas like never before in your very own ship! Dock at The Pandemonium, a homely port to return to between voyages, and learn the ropes of sailing before venturing into deeper waters. Discover brand new locations, including the Great Conch island, home to new NPCs and the Troubled Tortugans questline. Use your spyglass to find new locations and small islands, with every port bearing its own unique task and, after reaching level 30 Sailing, challenge your skills across three thrilling Barracuda trails.

Traverse hazardous waters and face monsters of both land and sea never seen before with the introduction of krakens, sharks, orcas, frost dragons, and gryphons as brand-new enemy types. Hunt for long-lost pirate treasures, plunder shipwrecks, pry open crates, salvage shipwrecks for parts, and solve riddles in exchange for lucrative rewards and XP. Discover new skill integrations and upgrade, strengthen and customise your ship with stronger components to toughen out the rougher waters.

Chop down new types of trees, fletch new logs, farm from new hardwood and hop patches, harvest fish from the ocean to cook, and gather resources from coral nurseries to create powerful new potions and spells. Gain access to new upgrades for your ship as you climb through levels, and look out for other lucrative rewards earned through bossing, skilling and questing, including a new Sailing Skill Pet, a Gryphon Pet, the Horn of Plenty, and the Aquanite Hopper: a new ranged off-hand obtainable from a brand-new slayer creature.
