OSRS Sailing Training - Basic and Primary Gameplay

We all know that most OSRS skills are simple-and-easy to train. You will gain experience via a few mouse clicks.

For example, click on a tree to get logs along with some Woodcutting experience; use your tinder box on a log to light it for the Firemaking experience; grab rune essences from the bank, and click to run to Runic altars to make runes to tain your Runecraft, etc.

So does the Sailing. You can gain Sailing experience any time you interact with the facilities using your mouse on your ship, such as sails, harpoons, the crow's nest, or any other things!

Basic - Fastening the Sails

Click Intensity: Low

XP/HR: Low

GP/HR: N/A

While you are sailing, the ship moves with the wind to increase its speed. But after a fixed interval, approximately every 30 seconds of travel time, your sails will luff, and you need to turn them to catch the wind again! Just click the sails, and you will fasten them correctly. You will gain some sailing experience by doing this.

With a higher Sailing level, you can hire an NPC crewmate to do the task. So you will have more time to use other facilities to gain more experience.

Charting the Sea

Click Intensity: Low

XP/HR: Low to Medium

GP/HR: N/A

Note down memorable locations in your Captain's log will give you one-time rewards of Sailing XP. Such as where the currents are, the threats you encountered, the locations of different islands, and more.

Shipwreck Salvaging

Click Intensity: Low

XP/HR: Low

GP/HR: Low to Medium

At any port, you can pick up rumours about ships that never reached their destination. Follow the direction to find one of the many shipwrecks out at sea!

Shipwrecks will spawn in various locations and last for a set amount of time before sinking below the waves. Navigate to the shipwreck with a Salvaging Hook facility, click on your Hook, and wait for it to recover the goods. Remove your salvage and repeat the process to gain Sailing experience. Of course, you will also get some other rewards.

Port Tasks

Click Intensity: Low to Medium

XP/HR: Low to High

GP/HR: Low to Medium

Deliver goods from one port to another, locate lost shipments, or complete other nautical tasks!

Firstly, you should check out one of the Task Boards at any port. Then choose a task you are willing to take. Different tasks have different requirements and rewards.

Courier Tasks - Transport goods from one port to another. There will also get the opportunity to pick up precious cargo during the task. But please note that pirates and sea monsters may attack you while carrying this kind of cargo. So prepare for the fight against them.

Protection Tasks - Protect trade routes from danger, save ships in need of help, or clear out dangerous areas of the sea. You need to prepare your ship for a lot of combat during the task.

Investigative Tasks - Track down a lost merchant vessel and transport its cargo to the intended destination. During the task, you will need to locate the ship, salvage the cargo, and transport it safely. Plenty of cargo space, a salvaging hook, and lots of combat facilities are required to complete this kind of task.

Ship Racing

Click Intensity: Medium to High

XP/HR: Medium to High

GP/HR: Low

Ship Racing is the ultimate test of your navigation skills. Blast, dodge, ram, and weave your way through the most perilous of ocean routes with all kinds of crazy obstacles.

You can complete a race alone or against other players. And you will gain Sailing XP and other rewards like unique shipbuilding materials, specialised facilities, or even a map leading to an undiscovered part of the sea.

Combat

Click Intensity: Medium to High

XP/HR: Medium

GP/HR: Low to High

Defeat pirates and sea monsters! Firstly, you need to install a weapon facility on your ship. And also, you must have enough ammunition to use. Click your weapon to load ammo, then click it again to activate 'Firing Mode'. You can attack whatever monster has shown up simply by firing at it. You will gain Sailing XP for every successful hit. And also, you will get loot after defeating your enemies.

These are the basic and primary Sailing training methods. Afterwards, some adjustments and changes may be made based on player suggestions and feedback.
