Ty for your reply, yes I am playing PvE only.
So summarized building a ship has become very hard and grindy. I did not miss anything.
Sloops are very slow and only have the capacity to carry like 1,5k gold? If I remember correctly the sloop could not carry a lot. So the grind would also require a lot of back tracking.
I don't think thats worth it. Many boring hours on the high sea would be awaiting me.
Is there a particular reason why this change was necessary?
Kind Regards
