A few boat questions.
Kiril Threndor
put the other in the hold. I just recall onto and off the boat and never
unlock the gangplanks. I use the key in the hold to occasionally let
friends onto the boat.
I have two characters in the game and I want the boat to be available to
both of them without the constant swapping of keys. I have acquired a
copy of one of the master keys. Is it possible to recall onto the boat
off the copy? Should I place the copy in the hold and give my second
char the master from the hold to put in his bank?
The serpent pillars on the map, are they portals to T2A, the same as the
moon glow ones? If so and I travel to T2A in my boat is the fishing the
same there, will I still pull up maps and will they be to treasure in
T2A or in Britannia?
If my boat is always locked and I die onboard, can people loot me? I
have bought a small boat and I stand by the mast but monsters still seem
able to attack me. If I buy a bigger boat would I be safe in the middle?
I read in the manual that boats will vanish if left for a time. I am
going away fro a week or so soon. If I park my boat near a busy place,
like Skara docks, will the people walking past refresh it or will it
only be refreshed by people going onto the boat? If I use the other
option of docking the boat, is there a time limit like when you stable a
horse?
Thanks.
Kiril.

You don't need the key in the hold when letting friends on to the boat.
If you are on board, just doubble klick the plank and it will open.
After a few seconds it will close again. It might be some problem if the
boat are a bit out from land because I think if you open the plank from
the boat they will not be able to jump on to the plank by doubble
clicking it. But if you take the boat so close to land so that the plank
will touch land when opened they can walk right into the boat.
You can also on some places take the boat so close to land that the
grass partly cover the boat. Then anyone (even monsters) can walk on to
your boat without the plank.
But if you take a non so friendly person on to your boat, he/she might
steal your ke. He/she can then dock your boat and place it again. Then
it's hes/hers boat and your old key will not work any longer.
I think that you need to have the key on the boat to be able to give
order to the tiller man.
I'm not sure if you can dock the boat with a copy of the key. It could
be an idea to use a copy instead if that makes the boat undockable.

No, you can not recall to the boat with the copy. I suggest that you let
both characters have one original key each. And use copies of the key
outside of the bank box.

Yes, but you will have to travel for an some time before you get the the
exit pillar out from T2A again.

Britannia.

On a small boat yoy will not have any secure place, except the hold, but
it's dark inside ; )
With a large dragon ship you will have a "secure" place att the square
behind the mast. When you die, you will fall on to the deck. And then I
think you will fall partly outside the "secure" square. And I think you
will be lootable.
But you may still order your tillerman to try to outrun any pirates,
even if you are dead.

You will have to open the plank to refresh the boat. unlocking and
locking is not enough.

If you dock the boat, you get a miniatyr boat in your backpack. That can
stay as long as you want. Better to place the miniatyr in the bank.
Next time you (or someone else) place the boat, the placer will be the
new owner. And 2 new keys will be created.
When docking the boat you old original key/keys will dissapear. But if
you have given one of the original keys to some other character or have
made copies, they will not dissapear.
So don't be surprised when your other character can't recall to your
boat after you placed it again because you are using the old key.

Words of power are "doracron" to go to t2a and "sueacron" to get back.

Fishing is the same, and you'll get maps. All treasures are in old
worlds (for hunting parties with t1a and t2a).

Yes.

You'll be safe from physical attacks, but not magic or breath attacks.
Note that you can drive your boat up under a monster and they'll be on
board all of a sudden. My fisher got waxed by a stone gargoyle and an
imp this way.
> I read in the manual that boats will vanish if left for a time.
You have to open and close the plank periodically to refresh it. Click
once on the tillerman for boat status.

The latter. If you're going away for extended periods, dry dock the
boat. Do this by emptying the deck and hold, and double clicking the
tiller man. You'll get a little ship "model" that can go in your bank
where it won't decay.

No. He'll listen to anybody.

No. Any key will work.

Both pillars work for enter/exit.

Ah, then indeed the name rings true. I have often gone by the name
Samahdi Sheol. Very good set of books, the Wounded Land being my
favorite.

What I mean is that when you travel to T2A by the pillars. You will show
up in T2A where there are no pillars. Anyway I could not see any pillars
there when I made the travel last time. I had to go clockwise along the
sea there to come to the pillars that go back to the original world.
Am I wrong here ?

There is a pillar on both sides of the desert peninsula. When you travel
through, you will come out within a few screens of the pillar that you
went through. They don't show up on the radar view, so you have to
either know exactly where they are (sextant) or you have to use
something like UO AutoMap. Both pillars work for coming and going.

THANK you! I've been trying to remember where I saw that name before,
but it's been so long since I read the series I couldn't place it...
