Getting started on the water
Step
When you first load in, your only job is to choose a ship and head out to sea. The ocean is endless, so you have plenty of room to practice before you start chasing badges.
- Choose a ship more than 40 ships and boats are available, so pick one that looks interesting and launch it.
- Type the sink command enter /sink in the chat to watch your ship go down for the first time; it is the fastest way to see the core mechanic.
- Check your weapons and tools more than ten weapons and five tools are available, so look through them before you approach an island with pirates.
