Welcome to Seabeard! Let's set sail for adventure together!

Goal:

In Seabeard your goal is to rebuild the island of Accordia, and preserve your long-lost ancestor Seabeard’s memory.

In order to rebuild Accordia you’re in store for quite an adventure! Sail the vast ocean exploring and helping others in your wake, there is a boundless world of opportunity waiting to be navigated!

You take the role of the Captain of a modest trading vessel. Assemble your crew to begin your search for treasure and adventure, trade with your friends and the islanders you encounter, upgrade your ship, and become the world’s most prestigious trader! Who knows? You might even find some surprises along the way!

Gameplay basics:

Prestige - This is the measure of all your efforts to rebuild Accordia. Prestige raises you higher on social score boards with Game Center and Facebook. The more levels your character gains, the more improvements you can make to your island to raise your prestige.


Coins and Pearls - There are two currencies in Seabeard, coins and pearls. Coins are the primary currency of the community. Pearls allow you to buy some premium items, but have so many more uses! Pearls can be used to speed up certain events, refuel your ship and purchase many other valuable commodities.


Travel - Your ship can always be found at the docks of any island. To board your ship simply tap on it and you’ll be taken to the world map. Once on the world map you can tap any island to travel to it,


Questing!

Helping townspeople is the primary way to earn coins and upgrade your ship and Accordia. Some quests require fetching an item, crafting materials, or speaking to others. You can always switch quests by tapping the green exclamation mark (!) on the left side of the screen. Tap on a quest and you’ll see a quest marker leading you to your destination appear on your screen.

A brief breakdown of some quest-types is below.

Main Quests - The main story questline will appear in the quest menu as a green quests. These quests have no time limit and will stay in your quest menu until completed.

Side and Daily Quests - Side quests will appear as blue quests. These quests have a time limit and will expire if not completed in time. These quests are often repeatable are randomly generated and can be used to earn extra items, experience points, and coins. Some quests give you a general location of an item, without specifically telling you where it can be found. During these quests try tapping every bush, shrub, and tree on an island. Example: “Find me a Worm!”

Deliver Passengers - Some passengers just want to hitch a ride, give them a lift to their desired destination to earn some cash.

Crafting Quests - These quests require you to craft items using different resources you find on the islands. Often you’ll need to learn a recipe from a trainer first. Once you learn the recipe you can combine items into new, more valuable items. (ex. you can turn apples into apple juice using the cauldron at Gabriel Flambe’s restaurant)


Day and Night Cycle:

Some events in Seabeard only happen during the day or night. Seabeard’s clock is locked to your own device’s time, so wait until it’s dark outside and you’ll see the world of Seabeard change from day to night.


Crafting!

The townspeople of each island enjoy teaching their craft to those willing to learn. You’ll meet chefs, carpenters, farmers, and millers during your travels. Each of these “trainers” will teach you recipes that you can use to turn specific items into more valuable items. Mastering the crafting system is key to progressing in Seabeard.

Social Gameplay!

Seabeard is even more fun with friends! Connect your game using Facebook in order to swap items, visit, and post on each other’s notice board. Try visiting the middle-most island to view all the other islands in your social archipelago!
