Swimming, Diving

The underwater is completely different from the mainland where you could run with two feet and horses. You might have to swim at a low speed or dive into the deep water to find hidden treasures.

 

Big and small rivers and lakes are everywhere in the world,

And one thing that the adventurers exploring the endless ocean must know is to ‘How to skillfully move underwater’.

 

 

 

Swimming

How do you move if the ship is destroyed on the vast sea?

If you use 'Escape' from the menu (shortcut ESC), you can move to the nearest point, there is so long cool time to wait for, and you cannot move to your destination.

 

Then the only answer is to swim.

Movement speed underwater is quite different from running on land.

 

The character’s swimming speed is fundamentally affected by movement speed.

If you are preparing for long-distance swimming, transfuse Magical Crystal that increases movement speed on the ‘Talis Set’ that has movement speed increase set option. If you make your movement speed enhancement level 5 by doing this, it will be a great help.

Other than that, using pearl outfit ‘Splat Fisher’s Clothes’ and ‘Da-Dum Da-Dum Diving Suit’ can help us well.

Swimming speed increase effect is granted on this outfit, and since swimming speed increased by movement speed level can be combined, faster swim is possible.

 

 

▲ The Talis set and Magical Crystal that can increase movement speed – Using swiftness is a method as well

 

Remember that stamina is constantly consumed will swimming.

When stamina is exhausted, swimming speed slows down a lot, so if you come across an island or somewhere you can rest while swimming, it is good to recover stamina out of the water.

 

If there isn’t a place to rest outside of water, stop moving for a moment and press Q, then you will be able to recover stamina slowly above water.

You cannot change equipment while swimming. If you experience an unexpected accident such as falling off a liners or ship getting destroyed while on the move, you might not have the time to change into movement speed enhancement equipment or outfit set and might have to swim the ocean at a slow speed.

 

Diving

In order to face another hidden world of adventures, you have to dive underwater.

 

The method to dive into water is simple.

You can dive into the water by using directional key and Space Bar.

 

There are some differences in swimming above water and diving into water.

If you swim above water, only stamina decreases and the movement speed goes down a lot, but there are no other restrictions.

But if you dive under water, a blue gauge additionally appears on the screen.

This is the breath gauge that shows how long you can dive in the water.

 

When all the breath gauge is exhausted the character stops moving, squirms and comes above water. This is why you need to constantly check the breath gauge when exploring under water.

The breath gauge can’t be recovered under water.

When you go above water, the breath gauge instantly recovers and you can dive again.

 

▲ When the breath gauge is exhausted the character can’t do anything and rises to the surface of the water.

 

Since there is a limit to underwater breathing, if you roam around without a purpose, you will just repeat sinking and floating.

It is necessary to check the area that you want to explore by diving into certain depth, then move to the point from above water to dive the shortest distance possible.
