Turns your ship into a motor boat fueled on surtling cores. Otherwise forget about it, boats are snails pace slow.



Use a end game power... that you probably have to sail to get, then sail back, run halfway across a entire continent to activate after you already spent 2-6 hours sailing to obtain for a small boost to sailing speed... Yes that is what you said.

sail there and back? do you not use portals?

Eggs for tribute to summon Moder are not able to go through portal, need to sail there. Then make multiple trips from boat to area as they weight 200lbs each. Set up portal in case you manage to get wrecked, still got to get the boat home, so despite portals you will end up sailing it home at some point anyway.

Well, i find sailing very relaxing unless i decide to make it a challenge. Sometimes you speed other times its gentle plod. Really enjoying the game and in no hurry to race to the end game content, on my way to building a swamp base and killing the 3rd boss. There is actually a fair amount of stuff to keep me occupied and all that after already finishing the pre mistlands content.

If you only want to go 100m (or are surrounded by land) just "row" (i.e. speed 1) for a minute or less then pick up your boat and run.

If you're in the middle of the ocean with no land around you, do it like everyone did 400+ years ago, and sail at near right angles to the wind.

Exactly as it was for real vikings in real life. Yet they did it anyway.

Many a crew were lost to the open seas, drifting into oblivion due to lack of the Wind.
Ill prepared expeditions are a voyage to the depths.

When there was no wind they used to row. But that rarely happened as sails became more and more efficient at using even low winds.

Anyway, Valheim doesn't have this problem: sails are extremely efficient and act like there is ALWAYS wind in Valheim. If you wanted it more realistic, more people would complain.

The Vikings also has 18 men that could row a Karve at a speed of 10 knots (19km/h, or 12mph), and with wind it could move at a speed exceeding 15 knots (28km/h or 17mph), and Viking longships usually held 40-45 men and would be rowed by 40 men at a time and would exceed speeds of 35 knots (64km/h or 40mph) and with proper sailing conditions would exceed 51 knots (94.5km/h or 58mph). To put that into perspective these boats were as fast or faster than primitive automobiles, and a long ship is faster than a modern naval Destroyer. Nothing in Valheim even closely reflects what it was like to sail one of those ships, and none of those ships were able to be manned or rowed by a single man.

The games sailing system is hot trash, if they added some form of NPC thrall system like conan, or just let the ship row mechanic move as though it was being rowed by a full crew of men than it wouldn't even be an issue.

OOOOOR you can zig-zag and let the wind help you instead of facing against it. Bruteforcing your way against nature often leads to frustrating results.

ProvideD the wind is blowing the wrong way. Use your points of sail my friend, You can sail at 45 degrees into the wind. Try at close hauled or close reach. Tack across irons and change approach.

If it ain’t blowing well then thats sad.

whatever... sailing is my favorite part of the game. In storms I bring the camera all the way in so it's almost 1st person and I stand at the front of the ship and watch the waves roll.

skill issue

Try to use moder power when the wind is in troll mode
Anyway you dont deppends full on the wind for moving , speed at 1 let you move the boat....slowly
Never use a raft

I would suggest a few Mods:
Valheim + to increase inventory and box sizes, harvest rates and XP gains.
Surtling Core boats fixes issues with slow boats without being super cheaty as you still have to farm cores out. You can adjust the config files for it to make it not use them if you want but I like he fact that there is a fuel cost.
Plant Everything, does what it says it does including mushrooms, berries and landscaping plants.

Without those 3 mods the game is entirely too tedious for me. Hope it helps.

Skill issue for you my bruh
Who the heck do all that ? Thats why there is portals in the game , try to play smart and less cry : get materials for portals in your boat , when you are in your destination use it and change the power you want , do the same when needs to return in the boat with metals
And end game power
? XDdddd
There is 2 more bosses after the dragon now , it literally after mid game power now
