RSOrder From Novice to Captain: A Step-by-Step Sailing Progression Guide

Sailing lets you explore Gielinor’s seas, discover islands, battle monsters, and RuneScape gold unlock rewards. Here’s how to master it:

Getting Started
Begin by speaking to Captain Klem in Port Sarim. Complete the tutorial quest A Voyage Ahead to learn ship basics. You’ll receive a starter ship (dinghy) and essential tools (repair kit, chart).

Training Methods

Voyages: Sail between ports (e.g., Port Sarim → Catherby). Longer trips grant more XP but risk storms or pirates. Adjust sails for speed boosts.

Combat: Fight sea monsters (e.g., Sea Trolls, Krakens). Use cannons (Ranged) or harpoons (Melee). Earn Sailing and combat XP.

Exploration: Discover uncharted islands (marked on maps). Scout for resources (e.g., coral, ancient relics) or rare Slayer creatures.

Ship Upgrades
Upgrade at docks using gold and materials:

Hulls: Increase durability (Oak → Dragonwood).

Sails: Boost speed (Canvas → Silk).

Cannons: Unlock special attacks (e.g., chain shots).

Crew Management
Hire crewmates in ports. Each has skills (navigation, combat, repair). Higher-level crews (e.g., Navigator Ned) reduce voyage time or improve accuracy.

Rewards

New Areas: Access islands like the Eastern Isles (lvl 30) with exclusive fishing spots and mining nodes.

Bosses: Battle the Kraken Overlord (lvl 70) for tridents and cosmetic ship figureheads.

Cosmetics: Customize ships with sails, hull paints, and flags.

Pro Tips

Always carry repair kits and food. Ship damage drains XP gains.

Team up for group voyages to tackle elite monsters or storms.

Synergize with Fishing (deep-sea trawler), Slayer (oceanic tasks), and Crafting (ship decor).

Level Milestones

1-30: Short coastal trips; fight jellyfish.

30-70: Explore volcanic isles; craft better upgrades.

70+: Challenge high-tier bosses; unlock teleportation anchors.

Sail smart, upgrade wisely, and OSRS GP conquer the seas!
