Boat - What's the turn around time?

[Solb]

From Freeport docks and then back, how long does it take the boat to get back to Freeport?

[Lyrith]

Forever... I didn't want to give you false information, but it feels like I have waited 30 minutes for it before.

[Solb]

yes, it seems to be forever. I was hoping someone had it timed. Ah well.

[Vellaen]

Round trip on the Freeport/Butcherblock boat is around 40 minutes.

[Sarajo]

I did, in fact, time it one day. Being unguilded with a friends list full of 20 vanishers gives me a lot of free time.

I should have written it down.

I am more than 68% sure that it was 23 minutes one way, 21 minutes the other.

About 30 minutes if you use the EZ-Pass shipping lanes.

If you've petitioned asking if the boat is broken (when I know it's not) I /goto you. And I /say...

Tick tock, tick tock
When will the boat arrive at the dock?
Don't you worry and don't you fret,
It will be along now anytime.
Would you like to bet?

No one ever bets me though.

Bloated Belly was broken for a few days a patch or two ago, and one of the shuttles in Butcherblock was revolting, but the boats work more often on Project 1999 than they did in live.

If I knew all I had to do was petition about boats to talk to you, well I would have been talking about a lot of boats.

[Breaken]

It takes 28 minutes. 14 each way.

[Solb]

It takes 28 minutes. 14 each way.

^Confirmed. I timed it today.

[baalzy]

^Confirmed. I timed it today.

Makes me wish we had a boat tracker so I knew which port is was landing in next. Faster to port to BB (or in my case, Pot to kaladim) and run to those docks then to wait for a boat that just left FP at the FP docks.

But without specifically knowing which direction its heading it's just a gamble one way or the other :/.

But who ever get's there right on time? :rolleyes:

[Juhstin]

But who ever get's there right on time? :rolleyes:

You can't. EVER.

You can time it and run to the dock but the boat will magically disappear and you'll wait until it comes because that's how Murphy's Laws work.

Got any meat to bet?

[gwideon]

Is EQAtlas wrong or is P1999 wrong on the boat route? (or is EQ Atlas for a different time period)?

When leaving Freeport, EQ Atlas says I should stop at sister island first and it seems to be making the trip in the other direction.

Or maybe I am misreading the map?

[baalzy]

Boats on P99 run backwards of how they were in Classic.

Why? I do not know.

Maybe that's how they got them to work so well?

[Swish]

There's some old threads about the boats if you guys can find them. We also have the wrong boat "type" for the BB - Freeport run, it's from a later era... but there's problems finding the old one I think?
