Naves

Tea transport PAX East 2018 exclusive cosmetic ship skin.

Sailing will be pretty in-depth and it's going to be based on the size of the ship that you're using. So there will be components for seamanship that other players you will need to have on board if you want to operate a vessel to the best of it's skills: Let's say in combat or traversing just the world. – Steven Sharif

Naves are vehicles in Ashes of Creation. Ships are owned by the player who has the ship item in their inventory. Only that player can summon the ship.

• Ship creation is generally delegated to players. There won't be many non-player-owned ships.
  • Quest lines may have NPC driven ships.
  • NPC ships will be present on the ocean that are adversaries or monsters that will be targets for players to try to raid or hunt for treasure.

For the most part all ship creation will be delegated to the player. You have to build up a ship or find somebody who has one if you want to get across the seas. – Steven Sharif

• There won't be mechanics for players to hire NPCs to carry out tasks on ships.

• Ship owners are able to grant permissions to allow other players to navigate their ships and access certain ship functions.
  • Ship navigators receive a significant defensive buff while they are navigating the ship. This reduces CC effects and increases damage mitigation significantly.
  • If the ship navigator is killed or otherwise removed from the ship then any player will be able to navigate the ship for a period of 15 to 20 minutes before the ship despawns and becomes a wreckage.
  • Other ship permissions may include operating weapons, anchors, and utility items.

• Players will have quests that lead set them on a path toward creating a personal vessel at around level 10-15.

• Player merchants will not be able to be placed on ships.

• Nothing can move or or block ships, apart from other ships. Ships collisions come with the risk of significant damage to the vessels involved.

We adhere to some semblance of real physics feelings with regards to these vehicles; and so ships do have the potential to be pushed in different directions and out of the way for each other. That is an intended collision experience that we want ships to have. But it should come with significant risk and potential damage to the vessels themselves. – Steven Sharif

Ship classes

Alpha-1 naval concept art.

Naves are divided into classes of vessel, which relate to their size and capabilities in battle and in transportation.

Size	Type	Usage.	Crew.
Small	Personal vessels.	Solo/personal content.	1-3
Medium	Frigates.	Group content.	Group size (8)
Large	Galleons.	Raid content.	Raid size (40)

The amount of crew required in order for a ship to be effective depends on the ship's class.

• All ship classes minimally require a captain to drive the ship.

• Certain ship classes will have the ability to render Control de masas (CC) (CC) effects on other ships, such as a harpoon effects.

Ships have their own class of vessel and the class that is related to the vessel has a certain purpose both in battle, in PvE raids, in transportation. – Steven Sharif

Fishing boats

Render 3D de un Bote de pesca.

Los botes de pesca en Ashes of Creation son utilizados en la pesca en aguas profundas.

Raft caravans

Alpha-1 Niküa raft caravan 3D render.

Caravans are capable of transitioning from land to raft caravans. So if you start out as a land-based Caravan and you move to the coast and you want to move into the water there's gonna be a little transition period there; it's gonna be a little construction site: You're not gonna have to do anything it's just gonna be a timer right so that you can't quickly move between land and water. It's gonna be probably in the matter of a minute to two minutes. There's a little bit of vulnerability in that regard. – Steven Sharif

Naval content

Alpha-1 naval concept art.

Snapchat Sneakpeak, 2017-11-9.

Naval content refers to content above and below the sea.

• Monturas acuáticas.
• Nodos costeros.
• Fortresses.
• Harbors.
• Island chains.
• Raft caravans.
• Naval NPCs.
• PvP Naval.
• Misiones.
• Incursiones.
• Naves.
• Rutas comerciales.
• Caza de tesoros.
• Mazmorras submarinas.

Enhanced naval content was unlocked as part of the $1,500,000 Kickstarter stretch goal.

There will not initially be naval content (such as a Dark Lake) in the Reino subterráneo (Underrealm), but this may be something that gets added in future expansions.

There won't be class abilities that are specific to naval content, but some utility skills (such as underwater breathing) may be of some benefit.
