Dock
The Dock is a structure found on islands throughout Islendari. It is the only place from which you can Sail: the gateway to reaching new islands, revisiting known ones, or following a Nautical Chart to a specific destination.
“The scent of salt, the creak of timber, this humble Dock links the island to distant shores.”
How to Sail#
On the Island content list, tap the Sail action on the Dock entry to navigate to the Sail screen.
You can do several things on the Sail screen:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Discover New Island | Sail to a randomly generated Island. The tier range is determined by your Ship’s Tier and condition. |
| Known Island | Sail to an Island you have already visited, selected from your Island Journal. |
| Nautical Chart | Use a Nautical Chart from your Inventory to Sail to a specific Island Type. |
Your Ship takes damage during every Sail. Keep it in good condition by repairing it at a Harbor.
Nautical Charts#
A Nautical Chart is a hand-drawn map revealing a specific island type. Using one from the Sail screen guarantees you arrive at that island type instead of a random one.
Nautical Charts are sold at the Cartographer building.
Your Ship#
Your Ship has two key properties: its Tier and its Condition.
Ship Tier#
The Ship starts at Tier 1 and can be upgraded up to Tier 5 at a Harbor building.
Higher tiers allow you to reach higher-tier Islands.
Ship Condition#
Every Sail deals damage to your Ship. Its current condition affects which islands it can reach:
| Condition | Status Threshold | Islands Reachable |
|---|---|---|
| Pristine | 100% | Up to Ship Tier |
| Sound | ≥ 75% | Up to Ship Tier |
| Worn | ≥ 50% | Up to Ship Tier |
| Damaged | ≥ 25% | Up to Ship Tier − 1 |
| Wrecked | < 25% | T1 only |
A Damaged or Wrecked Ship can still Sail — it will just be slower and limited in range. Repair it at a Harbor to restore full reach.
Ship Upgrades#
Ship upgrades are performed at a Harbor building. Each upgrade unlocks access to the next island tier.
| Current Tier | Target Tier | Materials Required |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | T2 | • Pine Wood × 10 • String × 10 |
| T2 | T3 | • Birch Wood × 10 • Jungle Wood 10 • String × 6 • Iron Bar × 4 |
| T3 | T4 | • Elm Wood × 20 • Reinforced String × 10 • Bamboo × 10 • Steel Bar × 5 |
| T4 | T5 | • Willow Wood × 25 • Reinforced String × 10 • Mithril Bar × 10 • Wind Essence × 5 |
Repair cost at the Harbor: Ship Tier × 1 Gold (e.g., a T3 Ship costs 3 Gold to repair).
Explorer Perks#
Certain Explorer Perks enhance Sailing:
| Perk | Effect |
|---|---|
| Tiered Sailing Control | Choose the Tier of island to sail to (instead of random within range). |
| Reduce Ship Damage | Reduces Ship damage taken while Sailing. |
