No, the dark sea isnt as big as you think.
No, I havent found the epicenter…yet
However
That is, from sameria and back to the bronze sea in 2 hours.
If we include just i4 its probably around 1h 15m
This means you can theoretically circle the entirety of i4 in 5 hours.
Happy Hunting!
bro that’s not the entire sea tho
it’s only like 1/4th
if you traveled the entire sea you would 100% find the epicenter rbo
yeah finding the epicenter is easy all you have to do is not die in the dark sea for five hours straight
Thats more of a mental game because all of the massive volcanoes look like an epicenter copycat
You mean the nimbus sea, right?
elf mindset
honestly if you are just sailing normally its not that hard
just make sure you are absolutely stacked with cargo and galleons
and make sure you have a master shipbuilder
and preferably deckhands with lead lines… that’s not necessary though
i dont think any of mine have lead lines and i did fine last time
granted, i only went for like 1h30 but i died due to insanity, not ship sinking
I’m probably not the best person for this though… none of my deckhands are above low loyalty 
you can just visit a bunch of islands and buy the items that they like from the tailors
cant wait for the mutiny update
yes
if you’re just looking for the epicentre, it’s probably best to wear full painite theurgist set, and a defense amulet with warding or something
that should ensure that you don’t instantly die if you get struck by lightning
for ship builds, you’d probably want a brig with a lot of speed to outrun the atlantean ships, but also with quite some health so the shipbuilder ability gives more health back. turning speed and ram power don’t really matter that much, since you would probably not need to turn that quickly anyways, and it’s faster to just not bother with the atlantean ships.
and ofc you’d want to use the lead lines as an artifact
then as a strategy you can just spam the navigator ability once it’s ready and sail in a straight line to range 4, and then just sail around there and you should be able to find it if you spend enough time. If your brig takes more than like 2k damage, use the shipbuilder ability to repair it back to full. If your brig took way too much damage, you could also use a repair hammer or cargo after using the ability to save some galleons/cargo with repairing.
(if anyone has any criticism on this, please say so so we can make a more reliable strategy)
an easy accessory thats accepted by most npcs as gifts is the large cape accessory, it can be sold by the merchant npc and found just about everywhere
the eyepatch is also quite a common item which a lot of different npcs accept, and you can buy it on nearly every island with a tailor
so do you just
-get to range 4
-start circling around
(how do you circle around without going into other ranges by accident)
