In the Age of Sail, this nautical-themed game, besides naval battles and maritime trade, there is also an exploration gameplay, which is an important part of the game. If you are not yet familiar with the exploration gameplay in the Age of Sail, then today we have specially compiled a guide on exploration. The following guide will teach you how to explore, and after reading it, you will know how to conduct exploration.

Speaking of the exploration gameplay in the game, there are many aspects to it. First, let's take a look at the village exploration. In the game, players can use a telescope to view the map, allowing them to find many villages that are not directly displayed on the map. Once found, you can enter these villages and increase your favorability by giving money. After increasing your favorability, the village will unlock a supply point, where you can resupply when passing through. Additionally, each village has three different specialties that can be purchased for trading. This is what village exploration in the game is about. After understanding this, let's move on to the second type of land exploration.

In the game, there are many land areas. When you get close, you can land and explore. During this process, you need to prepare sleeping bags, which act as save points. Sleeping bags can be purchased from the store, and you will see that they are divided into levels: green, white, and black. These levels correspond to the levels of the continents in the game, which are also divided into these three levels. Only sleeping bags of the corresponding level can be used on the continent. Therefore, if you want to explore the land, you need to prepare at least three sleeping bags, one of each color, before you set out.
After entering the land, you will see the land interface. You can open this interface, where you will see all the exploration content related to the land. First, there are three tasks, which are event tasks. The process for these tasks is the same as for normal tasks. You need to pay attention to the trigger requirements and complete them. After completing the three tasks, you can unlock the exploration level of the land and receive rewards. Then, you will see an exploration gameplay involving collecting items from the land.

There are many items to collect in the land, distributed in various corners. You need to go to specific locations to collect these items. After collecting the items, you can increase the exploration level of the land. Additionally, because you have collected the items, you can also gain the right to purchase these items, and then trade them. After completing the collection of land items, you can start the final step of land exploration.
This final step involves checking in at various locations on the land. When you open the land interface, you will see several check-in points on the right side. You need to go to these points and check in to light them up. Your task is to find and check in at all the points. After completing this, you will have finished the final step of exploring the land, bringing the exploration level to 100%.

After completing this, you can start the final sea exploration. As a nautical-themed game, sea exploration is a must. When you start exploring the sea, you will see many question mark areas and some dangerous colored areas. Your task is to explore these areas, during which you can trigger encounters and pirate clearance missions. These missions are the main content of sea exploration, and you need to complete them according to the requirements. The pirate clearance missions are relatively easy; you just need to kill the pirates and clear the area.
As for the encounter missions, they are not easy. These missions are usually treasure hunts at sea, providing a vague map that you need to match with the actual location. This process takes a long time and requires constant comparison of the map to find the treasure. This is the main known exploration gameplay at present.

The above is the complete content of the exploration guide for the Age of Sail. After reading the above, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of the exploration gameplay in this game. With this knowledge, you can now follow the guide and start exploring.
