- Tips for sailing in Arcane Odyssey
Take a look at the map of Roblox Arcane Odyssey lets you see how the sea separates different islands from each other. In the first few minutes of the game, you must use your rowboat to get to Redwake Harbor. Rowing and sailing are at the core of this open sea game.
Aside from the rowboat, you can have three ships in total, and there are plenty of enemies roaming the sea and taking their chance to sink you. The game is pretty punitive when it comes to damage to your ship, so you can’t be careless about it.
How to buy ships
You cannot use the Rowboat to circumnavigate the map in Arcane Odyssey since it has no places for cannons or other ship parts. Also, if you want to row faster, you need stamina, which can be quite frustrating when sailing a long distance. Luckily, you can easily buy your first ship with a sail.
Shipwright NPCs can be found on most islands in Arcane Odyssey. You can see a marker for these NPCs when zooming in on an island. Islands like Ravenna can even have two Shipwright NPCs in different cities. Go to the Shipwright NPC in Redwake to buy a Sailboat for 300 Galleons.
You can easily earn 300 Galleons Helping people around Redwake and doing the fishing quest a few times. You can also sell these fish for a few galleons more, but remember they will rot after 24 hours.
You need to get to the southern islands to be able to buy the other two ships. For example, you can buy a caravel in the Sailor’s Lodge and Ketch area of Ravenna. Although these ships cost quite a lot of galleons. Also, you cannot interact with the Shipwright NPCs on regular islands when you have a bounty on them.
In this case, you need to find criminal shipbuilders located on specific islands. You can only buy Ketch from Whitesummit if you have a bounty on your head as the entire island is dedicated to criminals. These criminal shipwrights will also help you open sealed chests if you have a bounty.
How to hire a crew
You cannot indulge in Arcane Odyssey combat without a crew. That’s because you have to steer the ship, control the sails, and use the cannons all at the same time. You will be easily defeated if your ship stands still during combat while you wait for your opponent to come within cannon range.
This problem is solved by the crew members, and you can get them in three different locations. The first crew is in Redwake itself and you can buy them for some galleons. The second and third groups are in Sailor’s Lodge and Ravenna respectively. The crew you get in Ravenna is the best.
If you have multiple ships, you can only deploy a specific crew on a ship. You need to toggle them if you plan to use another ship and then revive it afterwards. You can also hire multiple quartermasters in the seas of Arcane Odyssey.
Some quartermasters will ask you to complete a series of quests, while others will require a certain amount of fame or bounty.

How to fight other ships
The funnest mechanics in Arcane Odyssey are the ship battles. As you sail the Bronze Sea, you will encounter a lot of NPC and player shipsand some of them will be hostile depending on fame or bounty:
- If you have a neutral rating or some fame, The pirate and assassin ships will attack you if you get too close
- On the other hand, All ships except Assassin ships will attack you if you have a bounty in your name. In addition, the Grand Navy will send out ships to capture you if you have a high Notoriety.
You can still attack the Grand Navy, Ravenna, and merchant ships while sailing the seas if you have Glory. but they may not generate loot as you cannot attack the humans on the ship unless you have a bounty on your head.
As mentioned above, if you want to participate in naval battles, you need a crew. Once you’ve found a target you want to attack, get close to it, making sure to stay away from its broadside. Get close enough and start shooting at them with your cannons. To do this, click the Arm Cannons button above your health bar.
This option only appears if you have a crew on the ship, and you can choose the gun types if they are armed. After choosing the right cannons, aim both sides of your ship and you’ll see some white lines showing you where the cannons will fly. Aim at the target ship and set it on fire.
There is a short delay between pressing the shoot button and the cannons firing. Over and beyond, There is a few second cooldown between each round of cannon fire. This cooldown can be identified by the color of the aiming lines, as they will gray out when on cooldown.
Aim the cannon at the top of the ship’s hull, as you won’t hit it if you aim too low. You’ll see a health bar at the top once you’ve damaged the enemy ship at least once. If they reach zero health, the ship will be sunk but remain on the surface. After that, the most difficult part of the ship battle begins.
If you want to plunder the treasure You must first defeat the enemy ship’s crew members. Your crew won’t help you in this endeavor, and it can get tricky when the enemies have a captain on board. Because of this, it’s important to aim for smaller ships unless you’re in the late game.
Tips for sailing in Arcane Odyssey
Sailing can be quite overwhelming at first, but a few tips can make things a lot easier:
- You will find lost cargo and shipwrecked people as you sail the seas. The former can repair your ship and give you useful items, while the latter can bring you to shore to get some rewards.
- You can Change ship name and color when given brush or name cards while exploring the land of Arcane Odyssey.
- If your ship is damaged while underway, You can either fix it with a hammer or pay a shipbuilder to do it. It’s a lot cheaper if you do it at the NPC, but keep a hammer in your inventory for bad times. The ship remains damaged even if you respawn it or switch servers.
