First Steps

Upon entering the world, players start on one of the three Sanctuary Islands, chosen randomly. This is where everyone starts out, be it joining the game for the first time, or respawning after death.

These islands will be imperative in your journey across the world of Gibliers Cay. After a short tutorial, players will be directed to the Shipwright, to obtain their first ship. Within the Plodding Isles universe, players can purchase plots of land in an area known as “The Far Isles”, a ring of islands that form the perimeter of the entire map, in exchange for Dubloon Tokens.

The price of these islands will vary according to the USD price of Dubloon. Players will also be able to buy land on third-party marketplaces, such as Opensea, but their first plot of land must be purchased (minted) in-game.

A player will spawn for the first time with a Port Blueprint and a quest item named “Building Materials”. The quest item is not a tradeable resource and cannot be sold. Once the player has acquired the Port Blueprint, the “Building Materials” quest item and their new ship, they can sail to “The Far Isles” to begin their first settlement.

The complimentary Port Blueprint that a player starts with for the first time is essentially a free mint for land. To purchase additional land in-game, additional Port Blueprints can be bought later from the Quartermaster using Dubloons.
