Boats in '''UO Phoenix''' slowly deteriorate over time if they are not used or refreshed.
This system ensures that abandoned ships do not remain indefinitely in the world.

== Overview ==
Every newly launched boat begins with a '''9-day lifespan'''.
The timer starts when the boat is placed in the world.
If a boat is used or refreshed during that time, its full 9-day timer resets.

When the timer expires, the boat begins to '''sink and decay''' over a short period before being permanently deleted.

== Decay Timeline ==

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:80%;"
! Condition
! Time Remaining
! Description
|-
| '''Like New'''
| 9+ days
| Freshly placed or recently refreshed.
|-
| '''Slightly Worn'''
| 7–9 days
| The ship shows light wear from time and weather.
|-
| '''Somewhat Worn'''
| 5–7 days
| The wood begins to dull and creak.
|-
| '''Fairly Worn'''
| 3–5 days
| Noticeable aging — keep an eye on it.
|-
| '''Greatly Worn'''
| 1–3 days
| The hull is weakening; it needs attention soon!
|-
| '''In Danger of Collapsing'''
| ≤1 day
| The boat will sink within 24 hours.
|}

'''Total Lifetime:''' 9 days

== Checking Boat Condition ==
* Single-click the '''Tiller Man''' to see the boat’s current decay stage.
* The tillerman’s label will display one of the following messages:
** ''Slightly Worn – 2 days''
** ''Somewhat Worn – 2 days''
** ''Fairly Worn – 2 days''
** ''Greatly Worn – 2 days''
** ''In Danger of Collapsing – 1 day''

== Preventing Decay ==
You can '''refresh''' your boat at any time to reset its decay timer:
* Simply board the boat or use the tillerman.
* Any interaction with your boat (movement, raising/lowering anchor, renaming, etc.) will refresh it.
* Each refresh restores the full '''9-day''' lifespan.

== When a Boat Decays ==
When a boat reaches the end of its decay timer:
# The tillerman will announce that the ship is sinking.
# The hull will gradually lower beneath the waves.
# After several seconds, the boat and its components are deleted.

All unsecured items on deck will be '''lost permanently''' when this happens.

== Tips ==
* Always anchor and refresh your boat regularly.
* Avoid leaving valuables or pets on board.
* If you plan to take a break from sailing, '''dry dock''' your boat to store it safely.
