Got Raided by Pirates. Buying cheap boat....

Hey everyone. First post on the forums but I need to get something off my chest I am pretty frustrated.Killing ettins near Minoc had taken my brother and I this weekend to save 18k to buy a small boat at a vendor near the cove. Fishing seemed awesome around Minoc while me and my brother were doing it we were getting nets and treasure maps like what we have read about on the forums. We were becoming true adventurers. We kept sailing north and we seen a far away island. Curiosity got too us so we went to check it out. We docked on the island and went in and seen it was some island of the serpent order or whatever. "oh well," I said, "lets go back and dry dock the boat and go to sleep". When we come back, there is this extremely massive ship up against it and pirates flooded the deck, storming at us with "Corp Por" with a name that I whole heartedly agreed with - something along the lines of "don't even try bro"

Now this is the frustration, not even the fact that I got pirated.. :(... But the fact was there were a few blues there trying to help me. One of them told me to repair the ship and gave me a ship repair deed. he said to use it on the tetherman, I did, then this god awful box full of gadgets appeared where I franticly screwed everything up, like playing perfection and you don't have enough time and all the gadgets pop up in your face. The blues left and I was stuck with this ship repair box and I didn't know what the hell to do. Now it is gone and i'm stuck on my gangplank. I didn't have enough money for the ransom so I clicked the 1 hour thing. I wish i had damn 3500... Boat is named the "notenoughforransom" now.

Three main questions.

1. Do I leave? is there any way for me to get the boat back? I still have the key can I recall back and repair it somehow?

2. Does anyone know how to use the ship repair deed? and could tell me so I don't waste the next one graciously given to me.

3. Any tips for me, I could use them. Suggestions welcomed.

Only got to use the boat for a couple hours, lol. Hopefully the next one will last a little longer. I will be buying another boat as soon as I can, could you please message me if you have a boat for a pity price. Thanks

Hey,

Is your boat still on the water? If you know the location of your boat, you should try to repair it. Use the repair tools and target the mast of your ship. There is an info button in the gump that appears. Read that if you don't know how to use the repair tools. If you don't know where your boat is anymore, try to recall off your ship key. If it says: "that location is blocked", it is still there. If it says "I cannot recall from that object", it sank. I can help you find its location.

I can also find you a boat for free if yours is gone.

Good luck!


EDIT: I repaired your ship, it was off the coast of Serpent's Hold. PM and I'll hand you back your ship.

All the gumps, including the cannons have directions. You click the ? when it pops up. But it's pretty simple. The cannons and repair work the same way. Gold = 5; Silver=3, Bronze=1. Black=BAM! Don't hit black. Ever. I know it makes no sense because you'd think black powder =cannons but not here. It will blow up in your face.

You'r goal is 25. So 5 golds are the best. This is true for both cannons and repairing. Go over 25 and BAM, it back fires when shooting cannons. When repairing, going over 25 will just be a failed attempt at repairing.

You have to count yourself. There's no counter on screen.

Wow thank you guys so much! I was not expecting this level of help within only 1 day! I will message you right now Yoar. Thank you so much Skye for the useful information that I needed. Tsavo, I am going to try and get my baby back from Yoar, but thank you so much for the generosity!

Thanks,

Wow I read this post not expecting what I read......
Seems boats are a whole hell of a lot more involved on his server.
It might seem silly, but I had plans to dock one at my house on the water just for the looks of it. Is it still safe to just have one sitting on the shoreline next to my house?

Why are you wasting all that time killing ettins? Train provocation to gm in a day and be able to start killing Dragons tomorrow.
Pm me for further details

I wouldn't say it's safe. All boats are sinkable. If you're online you may have the chance to pay a ransom to get it back if it is sunk but it's a risk. Depending where you live, if you think it's pretty remote, chances are with not too many people on the water these days you may be OK but know there's no guarantee.
