INTRODUCTION

Spoiler

Alora released Sailing on September 5th, 2026. With Sailing Part 1 came almost all functionality including: Boat construction, Sea charting, Port tasks, Salvaging, Barracuda trials, Ocean encounters, and new lands functioning with their perspective content.

Soon, Sailing Part 2 will release with: Boat combat with Bounty tasks, Crewmates, Deep sea trawling, and the addition of Wyrmscraig island and all of its amazing content.

It is suggested to have a relatively high Construction level before starting Sailing. The better the boat upgrade, the higher Construction level required. You can check the Boats section of the in-game Construction skill guide for more information.

A Smithing level up to 89 and a Farming level up to 71 is needed for certain boat upgrades for ironmen or those who wish to avoid paying premium costs for supplies.

If you have additional questions that are not answered in this guide, it's best to ask in-game in the Alora CC or check the official OSRS Wiki Sailing page here: https://oldschool.ru....wiki/w/Sailing

 

PLUGINS

Spoiler

— There are many plugins available that are very useful to assist with sailing.

• The Sailing plugin is available on both RuneLite and mobile client. It assists with all training methods described later as well as ocean encounters. It is HIGHLY suggested to use this plugin.
• The Port Tasks plugin is available on both RuneLite and mobile. It helps you to decide which tasks are the best experience for the time spent as well as giving you the shortest path to complete the task.
• Barracuda Trials Pathfinder is available on RuneLite and is an amazing plugin that assists you with the shortest path to complete each type of trial.
• Tile Packs is an alternative plugin to Barracuda Trials Pathfinder if you prefer it.
• Shortest Path is a very useful plugin when trying to sail to a new area. Open your map, right click any destination, and select "Set target". It will create a path in game to follow.
• Entity Hider comes in handy to hide other players and their boats if they are distracting to you while doing things such as barracuda trials.

 

 

SKILL UNLOCKS

Spoiler

• Soup, the Sailing skilling pet
• Belle's Folly and Gull pet from Shellbane Gryphon
• Armadyl brews (similar to Saradomin brews but heals a little less and boosts range)
• Super hunter potion which boosts your Hunter level by 6
• Port Roberts for a great thieving training method
• Much more to come when Wyrmscraig releases

 

 

GETTING STARTED

Spoiler

 

— NOTICE: If you logged into Alora between when Sailing released (Sep 5 2026) and Sep 14, 2026, you will need to make Basic cargo hold for your boat outlined in the steps below. If you did not log into the game between these dates, and only logged in after Sep 14, 2026, your starting raft will already have a Basic cargo hold and you can ignore the steps below regarding building one.

• Grab a Saw, Hammer, 8 normal Planks, 14 Teak planks, 32 Bronze nails, 70 Steel nails, and 35 Swamp paste
   
• Use the ::sailing command and speak to Shipwright sam to customize your boat
  
  
   
• Board the gangplank and build a Basic cargo hold on the Facility hotspot
  
  
   
• Disembark from your boat and craft 7 Teak repair kits at the Shipwright's workbench
  (these are for regenerating your boats health if needed)
  
  
   
• Exit the portal to find yourself back at Port Sarim
   
• Interact with the Salvaging station and Notice board for some starting XP
  
  

— At this point you should read the Port Tasks training method section for more information on what to do next. Additionally, read up on the Sea Charting training method section before starting your Port Tasks to do them simultaneously.

 

 

BOAT UPGRADES & SUPPLIES

Spoiler

Boat Types & Use Cases

Spoiler

— To purchase a bigger boat speak to Shipwright Sam at ::sailing. You can purchase a Skiff when you reach level 15 and a Sloop at level 50.

• A Raft is the boat type that you start out with. It has no facility hotspots other than a Cargo hold.
• A Skiff is a medium sized boat that provides enough facility hotspots to accomplish everything while still being more narrow than a Sloop to better fit through small spaces. These are great for Barracuda Trials.
• A Sloop is the largest boat that provides even more facility hotspots including a spot for a second salvage hook which makes Salvaging more xp/hr once Crewmates are released.
• NOTE: The smaller the boat; the less resources it takes to upgrade core boat parts.

Core Boat Parts

Spoiler

— To upgrade the core parts of your boat you will want to interact with the Boat Schematics board on the Shipyard island.

• Hull: Makes your boat quicker and have more health.
• Helm: Allows you to sail through Rapids and Tangled kelp to access new oceans.
• Sails: Increases storm resistance, acceleration speed, and speed boost duration.
• Keel: Increases boat hitpoints and armour. Adamant+ gives immunity to crystal waters. Note that a keel is not available for rafts.
• Brazier: Available after finding the Eternal brazier schematic. Allows players to traverse icy seas in the Northern Ocean.

Facility Upgrades

Spoiler

— Facility hotspots are used to construct facilities whilst on your boat in the Shipyard. Without boat combat or deep sea trawling, not all facilities currently have a use, so I will go over the most important ones currently:

• Cargo hold: You can upgrade your this in order to have extra room if you need to store things such as repair kits, salvage, or certain storable loot.
• Salvaging hooks: Used to reel in salvage from the sea. The higher tier salvaging hook the higher the catch rate. Note that Dragon salvaging hook is not currently accessible.
• Salvaging station: After finding the Salvaging schematic this can be built and then used to sort salvage on your boat so you dont have to sail back to a dock every inventory. It is highly suggested to construct this.
• Keg: Can be built to add different brews to it which provide different boosts. For more information on all the different brews and possible boosts, check out the OSRS Wiki page here: https://oldschool.ru.../Keg_(facility)
• Wind catchers: Can be built in order to store wind boosts to be used upon discretion. This requires a captured wind mote which is a reward from completing the Shark rank of the Jubbly Jive barracuda trial within 3 minutes. A gale catcher will be very significant for completing other barracuda trials in timely manners.
• Crystal extractor: This can be built after obtaining Heart of Ithell by completing the Shark rank of Gwenith Glide barracuda trial within 3:42. This is very useful to boost xp/hr by extract from it every 60 seconds for some experience as well as a speed boost.
• Teleport focus: Allows you to teleport your boat to whatever dock you're currently at.

Obtaining Materials

Spoiler

• Lead bars: Mine Lead ore in the cave on The Pandemonium island. You can then smelt the ores into bars.
• Cupronickel bars: At 67 Sailing you can access Deepfin island and mine Nickel. You can then smelt the ores into bars with both Nickel and Copper ores.
• Bolt of cotton: Obtain Cotton seeds by opening seed packs from farming contracts or salvaging Large or Fremennik shiprecks. Plant the seeds at any hops patch. It is highly suggested to use Ultracompost to yield the largest harvest possible. Take the Cotton bolls to a spinning wheel to create Cotton yarn. Finally, take the Cotton yarn to a loom to create a Bolt of cotton at a 2:1 ratio.
• Bolt of canvas: Obtain Hemp seeds by opening seed packs from farming contracts or salvaging Large and Barracuda shipwrecks. Follow all the same steps to create a Bolt of canvas as laid out above for Bolts of cotton.
• Camphor plank: With 45 Sailing and 66 Woodcutting, sail to The Great Conch (Fairy ring CJQ after you've docked there at least once). Cut Camphor trees for logs. You can then make these into planks at any sawmill.
• Ironwood plank: With 72 Sailing and 80 Woodcutting, sail to Sunbleak Island and cut Ironwood trees for logs which you can then make into planks.
• Rosewood plank: With an Adamant keel or better, 79 Sailing, and 92 Woodcutting, you can sail to Drumstick Isle. Cut Rosewood trees for logs which you can then make into planks.
• Hull parts: All types of hull parts can be made with their respective planks at a Shipwright's workbench. Find a workbench at the Shipyard or almost any dock with. Hull parts can be combined at the same place into Large hull parts.
• Keel parts: All types of keel parts can be made at any anvil with their respective bars. Keel parts can then be used on an anvil to create Large keel parts.
• Dragon sheets & nails: Obtain these as a drop from either Lava Strykewyrm (62 Slayer to kill and 60 Sailing to access Charred Island) OR Frost dragons (87 Sailing and an Eternal brazier to access Grimstone island). Dragon sheet drop rates are doubled while on the NPCs perspective slayer task. One Dragon sheet can be turned into an additional 15 Dragon nails at the Ancient Forge in the Godwars dungeon.
• Magic stone: Can be obtained from ::store with tokens or purchased from other players

You can easily solve these with the Sailing plugin or looking at the OSRS wiki here: https://oldschool.ru...w/Mermaid_guide

— This charting gives the most experience for the time spent completing them, so it's a good idea to always do them if they're close by.

Feels kinda unnecessary to slap “official” on it when a player had already gone out of their way to make a solid Sailing guide just yesterday. That said, both are fantastic guides, and I'm sure players will have their preference between the two.

Great work on the guide Ruwk!! Informative, concise, and easy to digest

The term official was not just slapped on. I had planned to use that wording many weeks ago when I took up this project as a request per our CM Tauri. He wanted a fully fleshed out, comprehensive Sailing guide provided by the staff team that would always be kept up to date. There will be many changes to Sailing as time passes, Part 2 will eventually release on Alora, as well as OSRS making even more additions to the skill in the future. Even if I am not the one to edit this guide going forward, someone else from the staff team will. Other guides are not kept up to date by the staff team. While I did do 95% of the work (structuring, writing, formatting, etc) it was a collaborated effort with the staff team as others gave feedback and ideas.

I can understand why from your perspective it looks like the word was just slapped on to one-up the other players guide, but that was not the reason nor intention. So I figured I'd write out this reasoning to explain further

[IM Finn]

That is one great guide, thank you for your hard work, it will be appreciated!

[Solo Rat]

Unreal, thanks for this. Also appreciate that you didn't use Imgur for the pics and I can see the images lol

[Guy]

Gracias for the guide @Gl , very nice work.

[RG12]

Very nice work

Ahh fair enough, that makes more sense then. I can understand the reasoning behind calling it “official” now, especially if it was planned weeks ago and the intention is for it to be maintained by the staff team going forward. I wasn't trying to imply you were intentionally trying to one-up the player's guide, just that the timing made it look that way from an outside perspective. Either way, both guides are solid and I'm sure they'll both be useful to players.

[Msu]

super clean @Gl and staff! I'm sure this will help tons of people that have never tried sailing

[Kareem Sqr]

What a great guide habibi Looks amazing!

[Lyda]

Thank you for making this! Now i can finally unleash my captain Jack Sparrow!! 

[Dark]

Very well put together guide, thank you Ruwk!

[Gl]

Unreal, thanks for this. Also appreciate that you didn't use Imgur for the pics and I can see the images lol

Yeah specifically avoided it for that reason

[IRON HSG]

Nice clear guide. Always fun to see how many hours i could have spared myself getting 99 without a guide
