Navigation is the newest addition to the game. You can get your own island, build different kinds of buildings on it, you can search for treasures, upgrade your boat, sail, and crew for better treasures. There are a lot of things in here, and it might confuse you at first, but don't worry. We got you.
Beginning
When you first come into the navigation screen, you can see 5 buttons. Let's start from the bottom. You can see your boat level, sail level and crew level, and the cost to upgrade them. They give some different boosts such as the quality of your searches, the speed of your searches and the effectiveness (chance to success) They have one thing in common. All boosts increase your SP gain, which is the currency you use to buy the searches for treasures and private islands. SP is capped to 10 000, so better stay online and spend it on naval expeditions!
Boat
The boat increases the effectiveness
Sail
The sail increases the speed
Crew
The crew increases the quality
Searching for Treasures
Searching for a treasure will bring you resources back. It drops pretty much anything. Gems, keys, res bags, ME, gold and a combo of orbs and scrolls.

Searching for Private Islands
Searching for a private island will, of course, find an island, but it will also find citizens and sometimes special chests. You will need to have a gambling post to store these chests though.
Private Islands
You can also search for a private island. There are four different types of tiles an Island can have. Each type of tile can have different buildings that can be built on them. You can have more than one of each type of tile on an island, but you can't have more than 7 tiles or build the same building more than once. It will cost 1 billion gold to move to the island If you manage to succeed and find one
