If a boat's condition is not maintained, it can sink during bad weather at sea. From every boat, the pattern and colour of the sail can be customized, as well as the boat itself, if made out of oak.
The boats can be made from three different types of woods: ash, pine, or oak, with ash being the worst quality of wood and oak being the best quality.
In the campaign, the player gets a Snekkja when finishing the quests in Friese. There are six different types of boats: Byrding, Knorr, Snekkja, Karvi, Skeid, and Busse.īoats can be obtained by ordering the construction of a boat in any port town by talking to a shipwright, by buying a second-hand boat from a shipwright (in need of repair, more often than not), or sometimes from winning sea battles, with the Looting skill increasing this chance. You can help out by expanding it.īoats are a feature introduced in Viking Conquest.
