There are two ways to move between servers--by boat or by portal. Which option depends on the server cluster.

Sailing

You can sail across some server borders using any boat you are the owner of or as a passenger on of a boat. This will leave your skills and items intact. Animals cannot cross server borders unless by the means of creature cages.

NOTE: If you are traveling across server borders, make sure all passengers are logged into the ship prior to crossing the border. Players logged off when a ship crosses the border may be left at their last log-in position on the previous server.

Player can use the Plot Course option when right-clicking on their boat to go to any server from any other server. A player will end up on the opposite side of the island from the one they left. If a player sails to the northern edge of a server, they will arrive at the southern border of the new server.

Note that Plot Course can not be used on the Epic cluster.

Portals

Some server crossings require portals. Your items and vehicles will not cross to the new server. This may or many not mean your skills are left behind, depending on which servers you are traveling to and from. Some portal are one way, but most allow travel back and forth.

In starter towns on PVE servers and Chaos is a blue crystal portal, allowing you to select another starter town on your current server or on another server to teleport to.

Your current server and the destination server combination will determine what will transfer together with you

  • Travelling between Southern Freedom Isles (SFI) and Nothern Freedom Isles (NFI) transfers everything but items
  • Travelling to a server which is also reachable with a boat transfers everything that would also transfer when you would be travelling with a boat
  • Existing transfer rules between Northern Freedom Isles and Defiance are unchanged, use the PvP portal like before to travel between these servers
  • Existing transfer rules between Southern Freedom Isles and Epic are unchanged, use an Epic portal like before to travel between these servers

All servers have a direct link to Guidance, where everything except items will transfer to

  • When leaving Guidance, all items you have will transfer together with you (away from Guidance)
  • When travelling to Guidance from another server, you must return to that server first before you can continue travelling to another server

The master cape is exempt from item transfer rules and will always follow you to any server

There is a 10 minute cooldown for using the portals

Starting a Guidance

Players on the Guidance can travel to Southern Freedom Islands and the Northern Freedom Islands by the blue portals in the starter town. Your items will transfer.

Starting at Southern Freedom Islands

Players can sail between any of the Southern Islands by boat. Travel to Chaos may be disabled in your profile settings-Block PVP Crossing.

Players may also travel to Epic servers via an Epic portal in the starter towns or created by players for their own deeds. You will not keep your items, but you will share your bank balance. Skills transfers from Southern Islands to Epic, except for Faith, Favour, and Alignment and except any skill that shows a 3X on Epic.

Players on the Southern Freedom Islands can travel to the Northern Freedom Islands by the blue portals in the starter towns. Your items will not transfer, but skills will.

The ingame world map shows the standard connections between servers on the Southern Freedom Islands cluster, which includes Independence Deliverance Exodus Celebration Pristine Release Xanadu and Chaos:

Starting at Northern Freedom Isles

Players on the Northern Freedom Islands have several options. Players may travel between Cadence, Harmony and Melody by boat.

To travel to the Defiance server, players can take a Pvp portal in the starter towns or one built by players. Your items will not transfer, but all skills except Fighting, Faith, and Meditation will transfer back and forth.

Players on the Northern Freedom Islands can travel to the Southern Freedom Islands by the blue portals in the starter towns. Your items will not transfer, but skills will.

Starting at Epic Islands

Players can sail between the four Epic islands by boat. They may also travel to the Southern Freedom Islands via Epic portal. Items and skills will not transfer, but bank balance will.

They may not travel directly to the Northern Freedom Islands, but will have to travel to Southern Freedom Islands via an Epic portal, and then from a starter town at the Southern Freedom Islands use another portal to travel to Northern Freedom Islands.

Jackal

When it is open, Jackal is only accessible by a lodestone. Items and skills do not transfer, but skills transfer when you return to Freedom.
