Sailing times

Post by Sab1 » Sat Apr 21, 2018 9:46 pm

I am curious how time for ship travel works. It took me about 30 rl minutes to sail to Skal yet only about 5 to 10 to sail back to Brog. Shouldn't it take the same?

Sailing times are generally in a range, so what takes 6 minutes one day might take 30 the next. I've generally RPed it as changing wind and sea conditions, favorable currents, that kind of thing.

Basically every IG hour (6 min IRL) there's a possibility that you'll arrive at your destination/be attacked.

That makes sense, it was a bit shocking to return so quick I thought I must of gotten one heck of a push by the wind.

The travel to Skal takes longer.

Certain locations takes a bit longer to travel to yes. Skal takes around 25-30mins.
