Beginner’s Guide for Dead Sails

If you're new to Dead Sails, don't fret. This game, much like its predecessor Dead Rails, is straightforward in its core concept: you captain a ship that must sail in a straight line to reach towns every 10,000 meters, with the ultimate goal of hitting 100,000 meters. The key is to keep moving, manage your fuel, and stay alive—simpler said than done, but definitely achievable with the right know-how.

Before You Set Sail

Before you embark on your voyage, the in-game lobby offers valuable insights, albeit at a cost. Starting with 15 Dabloons, the game's currency, you'll face the temptation to spend on boats or items like bandages and weapons. However, as a beginner, you'll find plenty of these in-game, making them less of a priority. Instead, focus on strategic spending.

How To Choose A Class

A wise use of your initial 15 Dabloons is to invest in a class, which acts as an in-game perk. These are obtained through a loot box system, costing 3 Dabloons per attempt. You might strike luck on your first try and land a class that suits your playstyle, such as the Pirate or Gunslinger. For a detailed breakdown, consult our Dead Sails Class Tierlist.

What To Do In Towns

Upon starting a round, you'll find yourself in a town with your ship docked. These towns serve as your safe havens every 10,000 meters, offering various services:

• Trading Hut: Sell collected items.
• General Store: Purchase essential supplies.
• Hospital: Heal up.
• Gun Shop: Buy guns and ammunition.
• Sheriff’s: Claim bounty for defeated enemies.

While starting with a blunt weapon means firearms aren't immediately necessary, stocking up on coal is crucial. Spend all your money on coal, as fuel is vital for continuing your journey—run out, and your game ends.

Dead Sails Tips & Tricks

Navigating Dead Sails involves more than just sailing; you'll encounter buildings, structures, and undead creatures. Here are key tips to master the game:

Tips For Never Running Out Of Fuel

Coal is your ship's lifeblood, with each piece adding 20% more fuel. While purchasing five coal pieces per town can theoretically get you to the end, exploring for other fuel sources adds excitement. Collectibles marked as "fuel" offer a 5% boost, but the most efficient method is utilizing the corpses of defeated undead enemies, which you can carry in your inventory.

How To Survive The Night

Nighttime in Dead Sails ramps up the difficulty with reduced visibility. Ideally, spend the night in town for safety. If you're caught out, purchase Barbed Wire from a shop to keep mobs at bay. Without it, pause your journey and defend against any approaching creatures.

Which Weapon To Choose

Your choice of weapon depends on your combat preference. Melee enthusiasts might stick with the starting hammer or pickaxe, but stronger enemies necessitate more powerful arms. A shotgun delivers high damage and is perfect for unexpected encounters, while the revolver offers a gentler introduction to firearms, often found in buildings.

Best Items To Collect

With a limited inventory of 10 items, prioritizing what to collect is crucial. Here are some valuable items:

• Moyai and Bars: Available in diamond, gold, and silver, these are lucrative.
• Healing Packs: Keep these for emergencies rather than selling them.
• Crosses: Sell for 35 cash or use against undead.
• Weapons: Use or sell based on your needs.
• Robot Head: Found in houses and banks, sells for 45 cash.
• Holy Water: Located in churches, sells for 25 cash.
• Gold Llama: A rare and pricey find, selling at 150 cash.

Remember, items on your boat can be secured by welding them to the surface (press Z on the keyboard).
