With the advent of [[ships]] and transoceanic exploration, the skill of '''Seafaring''' was unveiled to give [[adventurers]] [[:Category:Abilities|abilities]] with which to truly excel and prosper whilst navigating the extensive [[:Category:Oceans and Seas|oceans and seas]] surrounding the [[:Category:Continents|continent]] of [[Sapience]]. It is unique among all skills through a number of respects, and many intrepid circumnavigators have joined the [[Sefyric Mariner's Guild]], a [[:Category:High Clans|high clan]] dedicated to exploring the furthest reaches of the sea.
With the advent of [[ships]] and transoceanic exploration, the skill of '''Seafaring''' was unveiled to give [[adventurers]] [[:Category:Abilities|abilities]] with which to truly excel and prosper whilst navigating the extensive [[:Category:Oceans and Seas|oceans and seas]] surrounding the [[:Category:Continents|continent]] of [[Sapience]]. It is unique among all skills through a number of respects, and many intrepid circumnavigators have joined the [[Sefyric Mariner's Guild]], a [[:Category:High Clans|high clan]] dedicated to exploring the furthest reaches of the sea.  


Firstly, access to Seafaring is acquired only by obtaining a '''Fully Attested [[Marque]] of Unquestioned Seaworthiness'''. Secondly, general Seafaring abilities are attained as usual through [[lessons]] learned up to the transcendent level. Finally, training in Seafaring involves specialisation in various vocational paths - '''Deckhand''', '''Weapons''', '''Helm''', '''Watch''', and '''Command''' - each of which is given a set of unique abilities. These abilities are not gained through simple progression of [[skill ranks]] but rather by the usage of accumulated '''Seafaring Promotion Points''' ('''SPPs''') received from advancement through the aforementioned skill ranks.
There are three actions one must take to master the skill of Seafaring:
* Firstly, access to Seafaring is acquired only by obtaining a '''Fully Attested [[Marque]] of Unquestioned Seaworthiness'''.  
* Secondly, general Seafaring abilities are attained as usual through [[lessons]] learned up to the transcendent level.
* Finally, training in Seafaring involves specialisation in various vocational paths - '''Deckhand''', '''Weapons''', '''Helm''', '''Watch''', and '''Command'''


Ranks (I, II, III, IV, and V) are assigned within each of the five Seafaring specialisations. It is by reaching these ranks under the tutelage of the five [[:Category:Seafaring Specialists|Seafaring specialists]] that abilities within each specialisation are gained. Each following rank requires an additional number of SPPs equal to the value of that rank number to be utilised in order for the rank to be achieved, such that rank I requires one SPP, while reaching rank II from rank I requires two more SPPs, and so on, totalling 15 SPPs needed to reach rank V. Transcendence in Seafaring bestows about 32 SPPs, which may be used in any manner, whether that be two rank V specialisations and two SPPs used elsewhere, or eight SPPs spread out equally in four specialisations.

Progression in the skill of Seafaring also grants '''Seafaring Promotion Points''' ('''SPPs'''), which cap at 32 SPPs once transcendent Seafaring is achieved. These points can then be allocated among any of the Seafaring Specilisations listed below. For each specialisation there are five ranks (I, II, III, IV, and V). It is by reaching these ranks under the tutelage of the five [[:Category:Seafaring Specialists|Seafaring specialists]] that abilities within each specialisation are gained.
