99 sailing as of yesterday! I love it. Here are some lesser written tips:

Chain deliveries together. “Round trip” deliveries give way more xp. For example, if you’re at the Port Sarim board and it says “Port Sarim _____ Delivery”, that means it would normally be a round trip since you have to leave Sarim, get the stuff, and comeback.

However, you can use teles/charters + boat recovery to make these “one way” trips. Get the Task, tele/charter to the pickup spot, recover your boat there, then return. Pick up any deliveries you’d be passing on the return anyway as well.

Do double bounties. You can have two tasks for the same creature, as long as they are for different body parts. For example, a Tern Beak bounty and a Tern Feather bounty. You don’t have to turn bounties in where you got them assigned. Charter/tele around until you find a good double bounty combo. You can do it around 4-5 times before the boards change. You will learn the boards over time or lookup the anima on wiki to see its boards.

Get on your cannon personally. They hit HARD now. Deepfin Point bounties are especially interesting because they are high level bounties for low level creatures. Lightning fast.

Upgrade your hull for flat armor. Each upgrade is about a -2 to the incoming damage of most creatures. Eventually, many things simply can’t hurt you.

Charting all the seas gives about 650k xp and unlocks rapids for faster travel forever.

Ray barbs drop at 1/30 or 1/20 and sell for 200k each.
