*Tips:*

• Jump + Sprint out of the water when swimming places. You can sprint midair, thus providing a slight speed boost. • The Shark is pretty aggressive. It's a good idea when starting a new file to lure the Shark fairly far behind your raft, so when you re-spawn you can get far enough ahead of the Shark to avoid catching aggro. This allows you to get to the first island and collect 7 wet bricks before your Raft even arrives at the island. • If you NEED to fully loot an island, try to anchor on the opposite side of where most of the loot is. If you're far enough away, the Shark should never aggro onto you, allowing you free farm without any issues. • The Shark will never attack your Raft if nobody is near it. Loot without worry! He will never take your Anchor, Sail, etc. without you being near the Raft. • Flippers are very helpful, especially when swimming to the Radio Tower / Vasagatan / Balboa • Radio Tower and Vasagatan load onto the map when the Receiver on your Raft displays they're about 400 knots away. This means when the Raft is about 550-600 knots away, you should start swimming towards the place, because you can get to there at about the time it loads in. • Balboa loads onto the map at about 700 knots away. When you feel the lag spike from it loading in, you should immediately bait the Shark away from your Raft, anchor, and start swimming. If you don't anchor, you risk Balboa unloading because your Raft drifted off. • THE ENGINE/STEERING WHEEL IS NOT REQUIRED FOR BALBOA. However, you'll need to paddle the entire way, which is fairly expensive. I'd guess 5-6 Paddles are needed. Balboa always spawns against the wind. If you plan on doing this, it might be beneficial snagging a lot of plastic from the Radio Tower and Vasagatan. • There's a couple tricks to baiting the Shark. You can spear him just as he does his dash attack. If you successfully hit him, you will take no damage and he will swim away for about 4-5 seconds. You could also try to jump over him as he does his dash attack towards you. If you successfully dodge him, you will take no damage but he'll turn around very quickly and try to bite again after 2-3 seconds. If you have lots of health, you could just swim far away taking every bite. • Wet Bricks take 5 minutes to dry. • Seaweed takes 45 seconds to smelt into Vine Goo • Both Metal and Copper Ore take 1 minute 20 seconds to smelt into ingots.
