What is Waybound Online?
Waybound Online is a multiplayer game about life at sea in the Age of Sail. Pick your ship, hire a crew, sail from port to port and defend your cargo – or take someone else's.
At sea
⚓ Naval combat
Fire broadsides from the port and starboard guns. Round shot damages the hull, chain shot tears the sails, grape shot hits the crew.
💥 Ramming
Charge in and strike the enemy hull. Better rams hit harder, and your own ship pays a price.
🚢 Many ships
Sloops, galleons, carracks, junks and more, each with its own look, guns and cargo.
💰 Trade & crew
Buy and sell goods in port, keep your provisions stocked and your sailors fit for the voyage.
The world
🏔 Land & exploration
Go ashore and explore the old coasts: lighthouses, watchtowers and villages, not only the open sea.
💀 Solo bosses
Face powerful bosses on your own, on land and out on the high seas. No party needed, just you and your skill.
⚔ New gear every 10 levels
Every 10 levels brings new items to find, buy and craft, so there is always a better reward to sail for.
⚜ PvP
Player-versus-player battles: duel other captains and fight for control of the sea. Fight as a pink player (lower chance to drop an item on death) or a red player (higher chance to drop an item), and choose your own risk.
Community
🤝 Friends & parties
Keep a friends list, block players you do not want to hear from, and team up in a party to sail and fight together.
🏴 Guilds
Found or join a guild and sail under one banner with your fellow captains.
📦 Player trading
Trade items directly with other players, safely, with a confirmation from both sides.
