Quick answer

  • The early island order is Artur (T1), Sand Island (T2), Leaf Island (T3), Castle Island (T4) and Winter Island (T5).
  • For a first trip, use Artur as a reference and check the Sand Island label before committing to a fight. Try Leaf Island once a short Sand Island run is manageable.

Early island tier index

An island tier labels the area. A hull tier labels your ship. You can use the order below to identify the next early area, then use the in-game island or port name to confirm where you arrived.

Confirm the next stop

  1. Read the full island or port label at your starting point. Write it down if nearby names are similar.
  2. If you aimed for Sand Island and see Sand Island 2, use the full name to recheck your position. Sand Island 2 is recorded at a later tier.
  3. Before moving on, verify the island name and decide whether your last fight left enough HP for the return. If the route or fight is unclear, head back to your last known port.
