Legends of Idleon Sailing Guide

Sailing is a World 5 skill in Legends of Idleon that allows players to send captains out of voyages in the high seas to return with treasure and rarer treasure: ancient artifacts. Sailing, the Slab and Gaming from World 5 should all be high priorities.

There is no multiplayer component to sailing. Sailing is a fully single player activity. You can expect to setup sailing once per day and not have to touch it again until another day (or several hours at a minimum). Sailing is a slow advancing skill that requires no characters to be active on it and any change impacts all characters on the account. No specific character has any specific roll.

Obtaining Captains in Idleon

There’s five tiers of captains, six if you count the base tier. The base tier is a simple sprite with a red cap. Tier 2 is pink with a black cap. Tier 3 is bone white with a grey cap. Tier 4 is blue with an anchor. Tier 5 is a purple ghost and finally tier 6 contains a green leaf like sprite.

These captains can be bought, resetting on the daily reset, on the right side of the pier.

Idleon Sailing Basics

You need a captain and a boat, both bought with treasure (gold) from the voyages. The first is free and after that you’ll need to use treasure to unlock more. Each new ship has upgrades, using a very complicated formula of “more upgrades = more resources needed.” Ships can be upgraded to hold more and travel faster using treasure. The first few ships use gold, after that it they use treasure from the different islands you can visit.

• Buy boats and captains.
• Put a captain in the bot by clicking the boat on the pier.
• Send the boats out using the sailing map. First to clouds to uncover an island than the island itself.
• When you visit the map your ships will deposit their loot.
• Later, when you have a specific artifact (listed below), you can filter which tier chests drop to make sure you’re not filling up on low quality chests after not playing awhile.

Captain and Ship Slot Costs

The below data is how much each update is for ships and captains. The first 8 ships should be a priority, the rest you won’t be able to upgrade fast enough to make rushing to them worth it.

Destinations and Distance

It’ll take a very long time starting at Cloudy Quay to upgrade to new islands. Don’t forget to send ships to get started, as new islands = new artifacts.

Ancient Artifacts in Idleon Sailing

Ancient artifacts are unlocked by a rare chance per chest open . The first time the artifact drops, you obtain the base effect. The second time you obtain the ancient effect. The only way to farm for any one particular artifact is just to send your entire fleet of ships to that island, assuming they all have enough speed to make it worth their time.

Ruble Cube is what lets you basically advance through world 5 with enough damage. The Fury Relic is a game changer, allowing higher skills.
