Sailing is one of the most anticipated new skills making its way to Old School RuneScape (OSRS). While Jagex continues to polish the finer details, early insights suggest that this skill will introduce vast oceans to explore, customizable ships, and OSRS gold a whole new layer of gameplay for adventurers. Whether you're into exploration, combat, or simply want to discover hidden lands, Sailing is shaping up to be a thrilling addition.
How to Get Started with Sailing
Before you can take to the seas, you’ll likely need to unlock the skill through quests or tasks that introduce you to the basics of sailing. Once you’ve completed the required content, you’ll gain access to your own ship—a vessel you can build, modify, and upgrade as you progress. This ship will be your gateway to all things Sailing, serving as both transport and tool for exploration.
Core Sailing Mechanics
At the heart of Sailing is navigation and exploration. You’ll chart courses across open waters, visit new regions, and tackle unique challenges on the high seas. Sailing will involve managing multiple ship systems:
Ship health
Crew morale and supplies
Navigational hazards
Enemy encounters
The system is expected to feature a navigational interface where players can plot their voyages, some of which will take you into uncharted territory—introducing risk, rewards, and cheap OSRS GP surprises.
