Complete Dead Sails Beginners Guide

Ever thought captaining a ship was a breeze? Think again! The thrilling new game *Dead Sails* challenges that notion by throwing you into a survival adventure where you must juggle your own safety, ship maintenance, trading valuables, and battling monsters. Here's your ultimate guide to mastering *Dead Sails* and reaching the coveted 100k meters finish line swiftly.

Beginner’s Guide for Dead Sails

New to *Dead Sails*? Don't fret. Similar to its predecessor *Dead Rails*, the game is straightforward—you're the captain of a ship tasked with sailing a straight line for 10 thousand meters between towns, aiming to reach the ultimate goal of 100k meters. The key? Keep moving, don't run out of fuel, and stay alive. Sounds simple, but it's anything but!

Before You Set Sail

The in-game lobby before you embark on your journey is a treasure trove of options, albeit at a cost. Starting with 15 Dabloons, the game's currency, you might be tempted to splurge on boats or items like bandages and weapons. However, you'll find plenty of these in-game, so it's wise to save your Dabloons for more strategic purchases.

How To Choose A Class

Invest your 15 Dabloons in a class. These are in-game perks you buy through a loot box system, costing 3 Dabloons each. You might get lucky and snag a class like Pirate or Gunslinger on your first try. For a detailed breakdown, check out our *Dead Sails* Class Tierlist.

What To Do In Towns

Upon starting a round, you'll find yourself in a town where your ship is docked. These towns, appearing every 10 thousand meters, are your safe havens. Here, you can utilize various amenities:

• Trading Hut: Sell collected items.
• General Store: Stock up on essential items.
• Hospital: Heal up.
• Gun Shop: Buy guns and ammo.
• Sheriff’s: Earn bounty money from pirate and creature corpses.

Starting with a blunt weapon, there's no rush to buy a firearm. Instead, prioritize purchasing coal—spend all your money on it. Fuel is crucial in *Dead Sails*; without it, your journey ends.

Dead Sails Tips & Tricks

The gameplay might seem simple, but you'll encounter various buildings, structures, and undead creatures. Here are the key tips to master the game:

Tips For Never Running Out Of Fuel

Your ship runs on coal, with each chunk adding 20% more fuel. You could theoretically finish the game by buying 5 coal pieces per town, but where's the fun in that? Collect items marked as "fuel" for a 5% increase, and don't forget to use the corpses of the undead you defeat—they're a valuable fuel source.

How To Survive The Night

Nighttime in *Dead Sails* is tougher, with reduced visibility. Ideally, spend the night in town for safety. If you're out at sea, buy Barbed Wire to keep mobs at bay. Without it, pause your journey and fend off any approaching creatures.

Which Weapon To Choose

Weapon choice is personal. If you prefer melee, stick with the starting hammer or pickaxe. For tougher enemies, a shotgun is ideal due to its high damage output. Early on, a revolver is a good choice to get accustomed to firearms, often found in buildings.

Best Items To Collect

With a limited inventory of 10 items, prioritize these:

• Moyai and Bars: Available in diamond, gold, and silver, these are lucrative.
• Healing Packs: Keep these for emergencies rather than selling.
• Crosses: Sell for 35 cash or use against the undead.
• Weapons: Use or sell as needed.
• Robot Head: Found in houses and banks, sells for 45 cash.
• Holy Water: Found in churches, sells for 25 cash.
• Gold Llama: Rare and valuable, sells for 150 cash.

Remember, you can stack items on your boat, but they'll fall off if not welded. Use the weld button (Z on the keyboard) to secure them.

With these tips, you're set to become the ultimate captain in *Dead Sails*. Navigate the treacherous waters, or in this case, the narrow canal-like river, and reach that 100k meters goal. For an extra edge, don't forget to check out our *Dead Sails* codes.
