Getting Around Norrath

Part 2

Boat Travel

Boat travel is only necessary in a few select circumstances, and is probably the slowest and most disliked of all forms of travel. The reason for this is simple, it takes forever. You must travel to the dock area, wait for the boat to arrive (which can take as long as 15 minutes), get onboard, and then sit there doing nothing until you arrive at your destination. I suggest bringing a good book.

I'll describe the various boat routes so that people know how to get from point to point.

Qeynos-Erudin Route

The boat from Qeynos leaves from South Qeynos. The boat traver Erud's Crossing where it stops at the dock there. It then travels to Erudin and stops just offshore from the dock there. A small raft floats from the dock itself to the ship and back, ferrying passengers. The boat itself then returns through Erud's Crossing, although it does not stop at the dock this time, and then goes back to Qeynos.

Freeport-Butcherblock Route

The boat from Freeport leaves from East Freeport. The boat travels then to the Ocean of Tears and stops at the dock located at Sister Island. (Note that the orientation of the Ocean of Tears is reversed from what makes sense, you travel East to West to get from Freeport to Butcherblock). It then travels without stopping to the dock in Butcherblock Mountains. When facing the water at the docks, it is the dock on the right that it lands at. It then returns through the Ocean of Tears through a different route and stops at another dock there. It then travels the rest of the way to Freeport.

Kunark Boat Travel

Check out the article on Kunark Boat Travel that I've already written.

Velious Boat Travel

The trip to Velious starts in the Northern Desert of Ro at the docks there. A small raft picks you up there and takes you to the Iceclad Ocean to a small island there map. You disembark in the water near there and run across the island to the dock map where you board the Icebreaker. The Icebreaker then takes you to a dock on the mainland. To return to the mainland, do this in reverse.
