Are you tired of spending all your time running across the beach or sailing your ship across endless stretches of water just to get back to your base? Windrose is a massive game with many islands to explore, and sometimes you just want to get to your destination quickly.

Fortunately, there is a very easy way to get around the map without having to voyage for hours. Fast travel is an excellent way to navigate the different regions of the world, and you do not have to progress very far into your adventures to unlock this helpful feature.

This guide will walk you through exactly how to fast travel in Windrose. We will cover how to find the necessary items, the specific crafting recipe you need, and the best way to set up your network of points so you can spend more time exploring and less time steering your boat.

How to Fast Travel in Windrose

In the world of Windrose, knowing how to fast travel can be important no matter what your current goals are in the game. Whether you are scouring neighboring islands for raw materials, fighting mighty foes in dungeons, navigating difficult quests, or simply exploring, it is a great way to navigate the map without having to run along old paths or sail back and forth.

To be able to use this mechanic, you will first need to get a particular item that enables it, which is the fast travel bell. A Fast Travel Bell is a crafted item made from 10 Copper Ingots and 3 Rope at a Workbench. This item acts as the key to moving instantly between different locations you have already visited. Without the bell, you are stuck walking or sailing everywhere, which can take up a lot of your precious time.

Once you have a Fast Travel Bell, you can build a Fast Travel Point. A Fast Travel Point is a structure you build using 1 Fast Travel Bell and 20 Wood, and it must be placed near the coastline.

How to Unlock the Fast Travel Bell

The fast travel bell is fortunately, a very early-game item to run into. It will not take extreme exploration or defeating a difficult boss to get it done. Despite its rare status, the travel bell can be unlocked in two different ways right from the starting island.

The first method involves basic crafting. You simply need to mine copper ore, get charcoal from the charcoal kiln by heating wood, and then smelt the copper ingots in the smelting furnace. Once you discover your first copper ingot, you will automatically unlock the fast travel bell schematic.

The second way to find the travel bell is to explore the starting island. You can often find it inside a shipwreck, a smuggler's cache located near the initial spawn location on the beach, or an abandoned buccaneer camp. Just be aware that some of these areas may require a bit of a fight before you can grab the loot.

How to Craft the Fast Travel Bell and Crafting Recipe

Once you have unlocked the schematic, crafting the item is very simple. In fact, you can do it right from your basic level 1 workbench. You will need to gather a few specific resources before you can finish the recipe.

Crafting Requirements

To craft one fast travel bell, you will need:

• 10 Copper Ingots

• 3 Rope

To make the ingots, you must smelt 4 copper ore and 1 charcoal in a smelting furnace. Once you have crafted the bell, it will appear in your inventory, ready to be used in the world.

Building a Fast Travel Point

To build a Fast Travel Point, you will need:

• 1 Fast Travel Bell

• 20 Wood

Remember, the Fast Travel Point must be placed near the coastline.

How to Use the Fast Travel Bell

It is important to note that while the bell is simple to unlock and craft, it is not a permanent solution to fast travel. Each fast travel bell lets players build exactly one fast travel point. While you can freely move between locations, you will need more bells to establish more points across the different islands.

How to Place a Fast Travel Point

To set up a fast travel point in Windrose, you must follow these specific rules:

• Open your building mode to place the item.

• Each fast travel point requires 1 fast travel bell and 20 pieces of wood.

• The point must be built near the coastline. If you try to build one too far inland, you will see an error on your screen.

Fast Travel Point Limit

• You can have a maximum of 10 fast travel points active at once across the map.

Sharing Fast Travel Points

These points are shared between players on the same server. If your allies have placed them, they will be accessible to everyone else as well. To make things easy, we recommend that your first fast travel point be at your base so you can always return to safety in a pinch.

Why can I not place my Fast Travel Bell inland?

A common problem players face is trying to place their fast travel bell in the middle of a forest or inside a mountain base. In Windrose, the game requires that every fast travel point be built near the coastline. This is because the fast travel system is tied to the water and sailing mechanics of the game.

If you are getting an error message on your screen when trying to build, try moving your travel bell closer to the shore. You must be able to see the ocean or a major waterway for the fast travel point to work. Once you are close enough to the coast, the building mode will allow you to set the point down.

Why is my Fast Travel Point not showing on the map?

If you have successfully built a fast travel point, but it does not appear when you open your map, you might have forgotten to "attune" to it. After you build the structure with your fast travel bell and wood, you must physically walk up to it and interact with it one time.

Interacting with the point for the first time registers the location on your map. If you are playing on a Windrose dedicated server, your friends will also need to visit the point once to see it on their own screens. Once registered, the point will stay on your map until it is destroyed or you reach your maximum of 10 points.

Can I fast travel while my ship is in combat?

Many players find themselves in trouble and want to fast travel away from a fight. However, you cannot use a fast travel point if you are currently being targeted by enemies or if your boat has taken damage in the last 30 seconds. The game requires you to be in a "safe" state before travel can begin.

If you are trying to escape, you must first sail away from the enemy ship until the combat music stops. Once you are out of danger, you can interact with the steering wheel or a nearby travel bell to open your map and move to another location. This ensures that players do not use fast travel in Windrose as an "instant escape" button during adventures.

How do I move a Fast Travel Point to a new location?

As you progress and discover new islands, you might want to move an old fast travel point to a better spot. To do this, you must go to the point you want to remove and use your hammer in building mode to deconstruct it.

When you destroy a fast travel point, you will get your fast travel bell back into your inventory, but you will lose the 20 wood used to build it. You can then take that bell to a new beach or coastline and set up a new point. This is the best way to manage your maximum limit of 10 points as you explore further into the world.

Conclusion

Setting up your network of travel locations is the best way to ensure your pirate legend continues to grow without unnecessary delays. By mastering the use of the fast travel bell, you can connect your bases and return to safety whenever you need to drop off loot or refresh your buffs.
