Set Sail in Mirandus with the Ship and Dock Sale

After hosting sale after sale for land-based deeds and buildings in Mirandus, Gala Games finally shows some love for the sailors and explorers who yearn to feel the sway of a ship beneath their feet. Behold the Ship and Dock sale! Beginning at 10am PST on December 13th, 2021, players may purchase deeds for Ships and Docks and prepare their for their life on the water!

Six different ship types go up for sale. Each one larger and faster than the last. From the Picard to the Caravel, each ship has a crew limit, determining how many friends can sail with you, and a cargo hold for bringing back loot and bounty. As you might imagine, the larger and more expensive ships have larger capacities.

Certain Exemplar classes seem primed for water-based adventures. Most notably, the Seafarers and the Cartographers! They might be good friends to have when sailing the high seas.

And of course, ship owners need a place to park their vessels. And for that we have Docks. Docks come in several sizes, each able to accommodate more and/or larger ships. Some of the largest ships will be too big for the smaller docks. The Modest Dock can only fit smaller ships such as the Picard, Crayer, and Hoy types. The larger sized Docks, Quays, Piers, and Wharfs, can hold the more substantial transports.

Unfortunately, we don't know anything about how boat movement and sea adventures will actually work. Hopefully it won't be like the old days of Ultima Online with ship traffic jams! It's also unclear if docks will be standalone or need to be attached to a village deed.

This is a pre-sale. The dev team has promised an alpha playtest soon, but no word on a start date and no information about when you'll be able to use your NFTs in-game.

What is Mirandus?

Mirandus is an upcoming fantasy MMO currently in development by Gala Games. When Mirandus releases, it will give players a first-person perspective as they venture into the world. Everything in the game world is owned by players, communities or organizations, ranging from the in-game banks to the shops, farms and blacksmiths. There will be a thriving in-game economy, and everybody has their part of play. Mirandus is an open-world online role playing game in which player actions influence the game world.

Adventurers will need food, armor repairs and some potions before they go on their next adventure. The blacksmith will need wood from the woodcutter to make a hilt, while the butcher needs meat from the farmer. There are many production lines and players can enjoy being a farmer, an adventurer, a trader or perhaps a bard.

Having a keep or some other base close to a dungeon entrance, will provide all kinds of opportunities for trade. Players can buy land tiles with certain functionalities and drop these anywhere in the game world. Other players could open a shop in that village, and pay rent to the mayor. All ownership over digital assets inside Mirandus is stored on the blockchain. Currently Mirandus supports Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain and Flare Network.

When Mirandus launches there will be five citadels, the biggest cities in the game world. These give the owner the right to create and lead their own faction, charge taxes on trade and so on. Owning a piece of land provides a safe haven for other players, and potentially a way to make money. However, also without land you can earn, as shops will need wood, meat, and other items.
