Sea Events

How to get it

You just need to be at sea with a boat nearby: it doesn't need to move, nor do you need to be sitting at the helm. In Third Sea, most events require being at Sea Danger Level 1-6.

Events common to both seas (Ship Raid, Sea Beast...) also exist in Third Sea, but with a significant increase in difficulty.

Spawn Rules

• All Sea Events can appear day or night, except Kitsune Island which appears with the Blue Moon.
• Aura and Instinct CHANGE NOTHING about spawn chances.
• An event can trigger as long as a boat is nearby, even if stationary, and without anyone at the helm.
• Most marine enemies are immune to M1 or greatly reduce its damage.
• Killing multiple Piranhas or Sharks from the same spawn counts as ONE Sea Event (5 Sharks killed = 1 event).
• Multiple Terrorsharks can chain back-to-back.

Second Sea or Third Sea?

• Farming in Second Sea is not recommended: little variety, low spawn rate, and no Sea Events drop Valor there.
• Third Sea is THE farming ground: far more events, most at Sea Danger Level 1-6.
• Sea Events count towards Abyss Tamer and Nautical Bane titles.
• Rough Sea is part of obtaining Pole (2nd Form), in both seas.
• Mirage Island is part of the Race Awakening puzzle (Third Sea only).

Farming Tips

• Recommended fruits: Venom, Magma, Ice, Yeti, Gas, or Awakened Buddha (walks on water or immune to sea). Mammoth and Blizzard are very good too (their held F does great damage), as are Spider and Spirit (big damage), Phoenix (flight - heal), and Pain (big damage - Last Stand).
• Shark race (V2 or higher) makes you immune to water damage.
• Avoid boats under 2,000 HP: most Sea Events destroy them easily.
• Hunt Sea Beasts and Rumbling Waters in groups: it's much simpler as a team.
• Get at least one player with the Shipwright subclass to repair the boat (each player is limited to 99 Wooden Planks maximum; in large groups, plan for several, since the spawn rate of events increases with player count).
• Don't look for Mirage Island at Sea Danger Level 6: the distorted and darkened vision makes searching nearly impossible.
• To avoid having your route to Kitsune Island cut off by an event, park your boat at the edge of Sea Danger Level 6 and wait near a rock, far enough to no longer see the boat's health bar (with Buddha, Ice, Shark race, or anything that lets you stay on water, you can wait without a rock).
• Against a Terrorshark, kill it quickly to prevent another event from triggering during the fight.
• The Portal glitch: enter [V] Dimensional Rift (the entire Sea Exploration Group must enter) then leave, and all ongoing Sea Events disappear instantly. Perfect for skipping Rough Sea or Terrorshark. Watch your boat: if someone is sitting in it when entering, the boat follows into the rift (with a teleport height bug on exit), and if no one is sitting in it on exit, it can disappear entirely and you'll need to buy another one. Safest: everyone enters WITHOUT sitting on the boat.
• Variant of the same glitch: a player who enters the rift then immediately leaves the game lets you disable the fog, for much clearer vision.

Did you know?

• Multiple Sea Events can coexist, but it's very rare: imagine Mirage Island guarded at once by both Rumbling Waters and Terrorshark.
• If your boat is destroyed while exploring, the danger gauge disappears from your compass, unless another boat is nearby.
• Very rarely, Sharks can spawn at Sea Danger Level 0, off the coast of Tiki Outpost.
• On September 28, 2025, a glitch blocked Sea Event spawns in Second and Third Sea; oddly, only Summon Sea Beast in First Sea still worked.
• There is a bug with Dragon and Kitsune: if you sit on the boat seat right as you mount an ally's fruit, the boat starts riding the fruit.

Our take

1. Update 30 1er octobre 2026 Adjustment ▾

   • The Sea Events page no longer says that Ship Raids, Haunted Ship Raids and Ghost Ship Raids sink and despawn when your boat is destroyed: according to the contributor who removed the line, they stay. This entry no longer claims it.
