Skiff
Wind and river currents can change your sailing speed.
| Boat tier | 2 |
|---|---|
| Base speed | 2 tiles per turn |
| Maximum hull durability | 60 |
| Automatic launch choice | When you step onto suitable water, the best boat that fits is chosen from your pack and quick slots. Higher tier wins, then the greater fraction of hull remaining. Equal boats keep their order within each store, and a tie between stores favours the quick slot. Protect and Retain do not prevent this selection. |
| Rivers and shallow water | On a world with the newer river network, this hull can launch into navigable river shallows if that reach allows its tier. Sea and lake shallows do not trigger this special launch. Rivers can still have reaches too narrow for the hull. |
| Co-op passenger places | 1 passenger in addition to the pilot. |
| Direct sailing | This boat has no walkable deck or hold. Steer it on the overworld. The automatic deck-and-hold sea-encounter roll does not run on that route. Ordinary sea creatures can still attack. |
| Field patch materials | One patch costs 2 Wood Planks and 1 Iron Nail. It restores up to 6 hull points, stopping at 45 of 60. One successful Patch the hull action applies every patch your pack can pay for up to that limit and costs 1 turn. |
| Field patch limits | Patch the hull uses unprotected planks and nails in your backpack. Retain does not stop those materials being used. Quick slots and stored cargo are not searched. On the overworld, a qualifying hostile within 6 horizontal and vertical steps in total prevents the repair. That nearby-enemy check is not made inside the deck or hold. A co-op client is not offered this action. |
| Shipwright shelf | Tier 1: 60 gold, stock 1. Tier 2: 55 gold, stock 2. Tier 3: 50 gold, stock 2. Tier 4: 45 gold, stock 2. The tier 5 shelf definition has the same hulls as tier 4. Normal settlement Shipwrights use tiers 1 to 4. These are base prices before the shop’s price modifier, and stock before purchases. A town still needs an available Shipwright to trade with. |
| Ordinary Adventure craft | 8 Wood Plank, 2 Rope and 0 gold produce 1 hull. Learn the Skiff Blueprint to show this pattern in ordinary crafting. Boat crafting is unavailable in the demo. |

This is the painted hull used in the 2D view, facing east. The inventory icon is shown above. The game adds the crew, heading, water and hull damage separately. The 3D views use vessel models.
