A. Docks
- As a sea-traveler, it is a really good idea to know the general direction of important landmasses. The most important of these is docking points and havens! The main docking points I use are: Argent City (2243, 2826), Zephyr Isle (3253, 3301), and the main havens I use are: Albania Haven (1497, 1707) and sometimes Sarah Haven (3097, 3530). To find other isles/havens, please refer to NPC list [Ascaron] and the PKO/TOP Maps. At a Haven, you don't actually dock, but there are Harbor Operators that will repair and refuel your ship. At a dock, you can leave your boat and explore the island, but do not leave the safe zone! Island monsters are extremely high levels and are very aggressive! They will kill you if you let them.

B. Fishing
- There are several good fishing spots that not many people know about. It's just a matter of hunting them down. In open water, there are not many, but around isles and other landmasses, you can find some.
- Around Argent City fishing is very popular. You will probably not easily find a spot where a fisher isn't camped. But, if you are lucky, there are fishing spots close by, just sail straight down from the harbor and to the left of the first tiny landmass you get to. There are about 4 regular Fish Swarms to fish there.
- From your fishing, the most important thing is the fish meat which goes directly into your cargo area. It will give you some fuel for your ship! It gives you less than 100 fuel points, sometimes less than 50, but it can be a ship-saver if you get stuck.

1. Fishing Spots
- Zephyr Isle (3253, 3301) - Sail around Zephyr Isle and you will find 6 or more Bountiful Fish Swarms where there are no aggressive monsters at all. Stick close to the land, because at the south of the Isle there are extremely aggressive lvl56 Silk Sharks that will kill you in one or two hits. If you hang close to shore, you will avoid these sharks and find very good fishing spots.
- Ascaron (3245, 3401) - There are lvl51 Old Sawtooth Sharks at the top of this fishing area, so it's best to come in from the bottom of it, but as long as you don't fish directly next to the Sharks, they will leave you well alone, and there are about 10 swarms really close together.
- Ascaron (1575, 730) - Far out but very good fishing, no aggressive monsters around, but be extremely careful getting there! Tons of pirates ships, all level 50 plus.

A. Technique
- There is a certain technique to fighting at sea. You can actually kill sea monsters that are not aggressive without them seeing you, basically, you're going to kill them using Stealth! To do this, put as much space between you and the monster you want to kill. Make sure there are no monsters that are going to come between you and your line of fire. Hold down Ctrl and click near the monster, sending a cannonball into the water. The water will splash the monster, and sea monsters are so delicate that the water will do damage to them. This is called Splash Damage, and if you are careful not to get too close and don't hit them anywhere but on their closest side to you, the monster will perish without you ever noticing! To give credit, I first read about this from thruthefires' Handy Hints Compiled.
- If the monster notices you, turn tail and flee unless it looks like just one more hit will do it.
- Fight monsters that are as high as you can without fighting monsters with the ??? as their level. If you fight a monster whose level is not revealed to you, you get drastically reduced experience! At lvl25, I killed some l??? (actually lvl37) Ruby Dolphins and only got 326 experience, but killing lvl33 Ocean Water Dancers was getting 800 experience, so just watch your experience to see how much you're getting and don't waste time with monsters that are way too high!
