Koi

"'Who needs wind?' - Shipwright Summary""WARNING: The paddles are required to move the Koi, and can't be crafted until Crafting Level Five. Buy at your own risk."The Koi is a level two specialty ship that can ignore wind because it is rowed with paddles. The Koi, although it can be crafted at level two, requires paddles, which require a Crafting Level of five.

Even knowing its useless at low-level crafting, it's good as a fishing boat to the sea, you will be harder to spot, and it's somewhat relaxing.

The Koi can be paddled by one person, though it may reach higher speeds if two experienced people are paddling. Combined with how fast it rotates when moving, it's speed and how the paddlers can row on each side, this makes the Koi quite difficult to control when rowing for the first time.

A small warning is that mobile players cannot row the koi due to having no paddle controls.

Trivia Edit

 * Named after the unique Amur Carp found in Japan. Its name literally means "Carp" in Japanese. The Amur Carp or Koi is kept as luxury pets in small to medium ponds.


 * Though some ships have a koi-like boat on board, they don't have any function, not acting as an emergency lifeboat.


 * The flag on it still operates according to wind direction, this is useless though as the Koi lacks sails.


 * Koi racing is a common event hosted by faction leaders and some group leaders usually announced on Discord, most races offer the winner huge amounts of doubloons.


 * Some use this as a defensive boarding vessel, but when the enemy is close enough to port that you would need one it may just be better to sail upwind in a Minnow or Goldfish.
 * A great ship to waste 45 minutes on building.
 * One cannot carry any cargo unless one person uses the paddle, while the other holds cargo.
 * It is mostly used for trolling, having fun, and content other than actual transport because it is extremely slow.
