== Travelling on the waterways ==
When traversing water you travel more slowly than on land, but as mentioned before this may be preferable as many [[animals]] can't swim and so you are generally safe from them. You cannot drag a [[small cart|cart]] into water, instead you may use a [[raft]] which functions the exact same way but only works on water. To travel on water you can use [[Ship|boats]] as well, There are 6 types of boats with each different speed, size and cargo hold
It is possible to swim reasonable distances across water, however if you run too low on stamina while in the water you will start to drown and eventually die if you don't make it back to land (or a [[Ship|boat]]). This makes crossing large bodies of water, such as those which separate the servers very difficult without a boat. While unladen and unarmoured, you can swim at about 8km/h. You are generally quite safe from animals while in the water, as most cannot swim, however it should be noted that while in the water you suffer a large [[combat rating]] (fighting) penalty, so it's not recommended that you fight anything while swimming.

By swimming sailing off the western coast of JK-[[Server Types|Home]] you can reach [[Server Types|Wild]], and vice versa on [[Server Types|Wild's]] east coast. Same for [[Server Types|Wild]] and [[Server Types|MR-home]]
