Windrose isn’t a game for quick trips. You start out learning the basics on a small beach, then suddenly you’re looking at a map full of islands that seem just a little too far away. At first, sailing around has its appeal, but soon you might wonder if there’s a faster way to move without wasting half your game time on open water.
Luckily, there is a solution. However, you won’t find it right away. You’ll need to explore and unlock certain features before the ocean feels smaller. Here’s how fast travel works in Windrose and how you can set it up for yourself.
How to Unlock and Use Fast Travel
Fast travel is available after completing the early main quest called “How My Shore Adventure Began”. During this quest, you learn to smelt Copper Ingots, which allows you to unlock the Fast Travel Bell—an essential item for setting up a fast travel system.
You can obtain a Fast Travel Bell either by finding one or crafting it yourself. One of the earliest ways to get one is through a Smuggler’s Cache near your starting beach. It’s hidden underground behind debris. After clearing it and defeating the enemy inside, you can open a chest that contains a Bell, which also unlocks the recipe. You might also find Bells in chests around shipwrecks during exploration.
If you choose to craft the Bell instead, you’ll need 10 Copper Ingots and 3 Ropes. These are made at a Workbench using Copper Ore, found in caves, and Plant Fiber.
The Bell itself doesn’t do much by itself. You need to place it into a Fast Travel Point, which you build through the construction menu by pressing “B”. Each Fast Travel Point costs 20 Wood and one Bell, and it must be built near water, like on a shoreline or dock.
Once you have at least two Fast Travel Points set up in different locations, you can travel between them freely. If you’re on your ship, you can also open the map and instantly travel to any unlocked location, as long as you’re not in combat or being chased.
