Travel
« Traveling is an essential part of the gaming experience. Whether you choose to travel on foot or prefer riding animals or using carriages, it's important to understand the different options available to you. »
On Foot
5 km/h
When your characters embark on a journey on foot, their group speed is generally 5 km/h. This option is often the most accessible, but it can be slow, especially on long journeys. It's important to plan accordingly and consider the time needed to reach your destination.
Animals
Mounts can greatly facilitate your movement. However, during group travel, the progression speed will be limited by that of the slowest animal or character among you.
Pony
Ponies are faster, reaching a speed of 20 km/h, but can only carry one small-sized person.
Horse
Horses are the fastest mounts, reaching a speed of 30 km/h. They can carry one medium or large-sized person.
Carriages
If you need to transport important goods or travel in a group, carriages are an option to consider. However, they do not come with animals to pull them.
Cart
A cart can travel at a speed of 5 km/h and requires 1 mule to be pulled. It can carry up to 500 kg of goods, but it is not designed to transport passengers.
Covered Wagon
The covered wagon is faster, reaching 20 km/h, but it requires 2 horses to be pulled. It can carry up to 800 kg of goods or 5 people, including the driver.
Stagecoach
The stagecoach is the fastest means of transport, with a speed of 30 km/h. It requires 4 horses to be pulled and can carry up to 1000 kg of goods or 7 people, driver included. Additionally, it offers 1 short rest phase for every 3 hours of travel for each passenger, except the driver.
Hiring a Driver
If you do not wish to be the driver of your carriage, it is possible to hire a skilled driver. Drivers typically charge for their services at a rate of 5 NX per hour of travel, which can be a wise choice if you prefer to focus on other aspects of your adventure.
Stable Fees
When you stop at an inn or a suitable place for your mounts, you will need to pay stable fees amounting to 5 NX per animal per day. Be sure to budget for these costs to avoid any inconvenience during your travels.
