About boats

Hello i have some questions about boats and how they work i mean getting killed on a boat manner can you get your boat stolen on this server what are the ways to be on your boat without getting jacked can people loot the ore on your boat if it is on the sides? are you safe if you keep your key in the hatch

overall boats are secure ,,,
however if you die with your boat key on you, they can tele your corpse and recall onto your boat and steal it.

items on the deck are safe and unseen as long as the boat doesn't move.
if you move the boat, anyone nearby will be able to see the items on the Deck

only the items around the edges are lootable.

From what I gather, you don't need the key to sail (just gotta' be the closest to the tillerman to give the orders, I think, and whispering doesn't work from across the ship). Just keep the key in your bank and recall off of it to get aboard your ship.

The only way to hijack someone's boat (using normal game mechanics) is killing someone with a key, casting Telekinesis on the body, then Recalling off of the key on the body. Otherwise, you cannot steal the boat. (This is, of course, at sea. Normal killing/stealing from someone on land applies as usual).

As for looting from a ship, only the center of the ship is safe (behind the mast one, two, or three tiles, I believe, depending on the size of the ship). Everything else is reachable.

Hope that helps.

but dont put any chests or crap on your recall spot.... by the mast... or you will have a bit of trouble getting back to your boat.

if i just keep the key in the container in the front is it safe because i cant recall yet so i can get in and off my boat with the key

I'd buy your Magery up, get 11 Int, and then worry about the boat. Any other protocol to get on and off your ship is asking to be exploited by bored ghosts/stealthers.

I will sell you a ship cheap if you're looking for one.
