1. Understanding Boats in Blox Fruits: Types, Roles, and Why They Matter
Blox Fruits, Roblox’s iconic pirate-adventure RPG, revolves around exploration, combat, and traversal across vast oceanic maps. At the heart of this traversal? Boats. Whether you’re a new player starting on the First Sea or a seasoned veteran in the Third Sea, a reliable boat isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Without one, you’re stranded, vulnerable to sea monsters, and unable to reach key islands for quests, fruit farming, or boss battles.
Let’s break down the core boat types in Blox Fruits (as of 2024 updates), their acquisition methods, and performance metrics. This foundational knowledge will help you choose the right boat for your playstyle and progression stage:
1.1 Basic Boats: Starting Your Journey
The First Sea introduces new players to two entry-level boats: the Rowboat and the Sailboat. The Rowboat, available at level 1 from the Boat Dealer onSpawn Island, costs 500 Beli. It’s slow (10 knots) but requires no prerequisites—ideal for testing the waters. The Sailboat, unlocked at level 20, upgrades speed to 15 knots and costs 2,500 Beli. Both have minimal storage (2 slots) and low durability, but they’re essential for early island hops like Arlong Park or Marine Ford.
1.2 Mid-Tier Boats: Expanding Horizons
As you progress to the Second Sea (level 100+), boats evolve. The Steamboat (level 100, 25,000 Beli) boosts speed to 20 knots and adds 4 storage slots—critical for carrying fruits or rare items. The Yacht (level 200, 100,000 Beli) jumps to 25 knots with 6 slots, making it a favorite for traders or fruit hunters. These boats can withstand minor sea monster attacks, but avoid Elite Pirates in the Second Sea without upgrades.
1.3 Endgame Boats: Dominating the Third Sea
The Third Sea (level 300+) demands top-tier vessels. The Submarine (level 300, 500,000 Beli) dives underwater, bypassing surface threats and accessing hidden caves with Devil Fruits. The Airship (level 400, 1,000,000 Beli) flies at 35 knots, ignoring sea currents entirely—perfect for rushing to Raid Bosses like Whitebeard. Both boats require significant Beli and level investment but pay off with unmatched efficiency.
Pro Tip: Track boat prices dynamically using the in-game Boat Dealer interface. Prices fluctuate based on server population—buy during off-peak hours for discounts!
2. Step-by-Step: How to Get Your First Boat (and Upgrade It)
Acquiring a boat in Blox Fruits is straightforward, but optimizing the process saves hours of grinding. Let’s walk through the steps for new players, with advanced tips for mid/endgame upgraders:
2.1 Preparing for Your First Boat: Beli Farming 101
New players often struggle with the initial 500 Beli for the Rowboat. Here’s how to farm it fast:
Kill Pirates on Spawn Island: Basic pirates drop 50-100 Beli each. Focus on the east beach—spawn rate is 30% higher here.
Complete the “First Quest”: The NPC near the Boat Dealer offers a task to collect 5 Coconuts. Reward: 300 Beli + a small XP boost.
Trade Fruits: If you spawn with a common fruit (e.g., Bomb, Smoke), sell it to the Fruit Dealer for 200-300 Beli. Avoid eating rare fruits early—their value skyrockets later.
Once you’ve got 500 Beli, head to the Boat Dealer (yellow shack with a ship wheel) and purchase the Rowboat. Equip it via your inventory, and you’re ready to sail!
2.2 Upgrading Your Boat: When and How
Upgrading isn’t just about speed—it’s about survival. Here’s a timeline based on your level:
| Level Range | Recommended Boat | Key Upgrade Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1-20 | Rowboat → Sailboat | Sailboat’s 15 knots avoids 40% of Sea Slime attacks |
| 20-100 | Sailboat → Steamboat | Steamboat’s 4 storage slots carry 2x more fruits/items |
| 100-300 | Steamboat → Yacht/Submarine | Yacht’s speed handles Second Sea currents; Submarine accesses hidden caves |
To upgrade, sell your old boat (via the Boat Dealer’s “Sell” option) for 50% of its original cost, then apply the proceeds to the new one. For example, selling a level 20 Sailboat (2,500 Beli) gives 1,250 Beli back—use that toward the Steamboat’s 25,000 Beli cost.
2.3 Advanced: Customizing Your Boat with Accessories
Post-level 200, you can add accessories via the Blacksmith on Water 7 Island. Popular upgrades include:
Speed Boosters: +5 knots (cost: 10,000 Beli + 3 Iron Bars)
Shield Generators: Absorbs 100 damage from sea monsters (cost: 15,000 Beli + 5 Steel Plates)
Storage Expanders: +2 slots (cost: 20,000 Beli + 2 Diamond Gems)
These upgrades are game-changers for endgame players farming Raid Bosses or participating in Server Wars.
3. Traveling Efficiently: Pro Tips to Save Time & Resources
Even with a top-tier boat, inefficient travel wastes hours. Here’s how to master Blox Fruits’ seas:
3.1 Reading the Currents: A Hidden Game Mechanic
Blox Fruits’ oceans have invisible currents that either boost or hinder your speed. Use these to your advantage:
Blue Tides (First Sea): Flow eastward from Spawn Island to Arlong Park. Align your boat’s direction with the tide for +3 knots.
Red Eddies (Second Sea): Circle around Marineford. Entering an eddy spins your boat—exit facing north to gain a 10-second speed burst (20% faster than normal).
Black Vortex (Third Sea): Located near the Void Century Island. Avoid it at all costs—boats caught in the vortex lose 50% durability per second.
Pro players use the in-game map (M key) to spot current patterns. Look for ripples on the water’s surface—they indicate active currents.
3.2 Avoiding Threats: Sea Monsters & Player Attacks
Traveling at night (in-game time 8 PM–4 AM) increases sea monster spawn rates by 70%. Common threats include:
Sea Slimes (First Sea): Slow-moving, deal 50 damage. Sailboats outrun them easily.
Shark Lords (Second Sea): Fast (20 knots), deal 200 damage. Use the Steamboat’s Shield Generator to tank hits.
Kraken Hatchlings (Third Sea): Swarm in groups of 3, deal 300 damage each. The Airship’s flight mode bypasses them entirely.
For PvP servers, stay 500 meters away from enemy ships (visible as red dots on the minimap). If attacked, use your boat’s speed to escape—repairing damage costs 100 Beli per durability point.
3.3 Route Optimization: The Best Paths for Key Activities
Whether you’re farming fruits, hunting bosses, or trading, specific routes minimize travel time:
Fruit Farming (First Sea): Spawn Island → Orange Town → Syrup Village. This triangle has 3 Fruit Dealers, and currents between them average +2 knots.
Boss Hunting (Second Sea): Water 7 → Enies Lobby → Marineford. The Red Eddies between these islands reduce travel time by 25%.
Trading (Third Sea): Wano → Zou → Void Century Island. The Airship’s flight mode cuts this route from 10 minutes to 3 minutes.
4. Cloud Gaming & Blox Fruits: How Cloud Phones Revolutionize Gameplay
Blox Fruits’ grind-heavy nature—farming Beli, upgrading boats, or hunting rare fruits—can strain mobile devices. Enter cloud phones: remote devices that run games on servers, streaming gameplay to your screen. They’re ideal for Blox Fruits players who want to:
Play 24/7 without draining their phone’s battery or overheating it.
Run multiple accounts simultaneously to farm resources faster.
Access high-end hardware (for smoother sailing in crowded servers) without buying a new device.
4.1 Why Use a Cloud Phone for Blox Fruits?
Traditional mobile gaming limits you to your device’s specs and uptime. Cloud phones like VSPhone solve these issues:
24/7 AFK Farming: Set up a cloud phone to run Blox Fruits while you sleep. For example, park your boat near a Fruit Dealer in a low-traffic server—every 30 minutes, a new fruit spawns, and you can collect it automatically using macros (supported on VSPhone).
Multi-Account Management: Run 3-5 Blox Fruits accounts on a single cloud phone. Each account farms Beli, fruits, or accessories—transfer resources to your main account via in-game trading. VSPhone’s multi-instance feature lets you switch between accounts with one click.
Performance Boost: Cloud phones use enterprise-grade servers (2.8 GHz CPUs, 8GB RAM) to handle Blox Fruits’ server-heavy environments. No more lag when sailing in crowded Third Sea servers—VSPhone ensures 60 FPS even during Raid Boss battles.
4.2 How to Set Up Blox Fruits on a Cloud Phone (Step-by-Step)
Using VSPhone, here’s how to get started:
Sign Up: Visit VSPhone.com and create a free account (includes a 3-day trial).
Launch a Cloud Phone: Select the “Gaming” plan (optimized for Roblox). Choose a region close to your location (e.g., US West for players in California) to reduce latency.
Install Blox Fruits: Use the built-in Roblox app on the cloud phone. Log in to your Roblox account, search for “Blox Fruits,” and launch the game.
Configure AFK Settings: Enable “Auto-Sail” (a macro that keeps your boat moving in a loop) and “Auto-Loot” (picks up fruits automatically). VSPhone’s macro recorder makes this easy—no coding required.
Monitor Progress: Use the VSPhone dashboard to check your cloud phone’s status. Pause, restart, or access the screen remotely via any browser or mobile app.
4.3 Free Cloud Phone Trials: Testing Before Committing
Many cloud phone services, including VSPhone, offer free trials. Use this to test:
Latency: Is sailing smooth, or does the boat lag when turning?
Multi-Instance Performance: Can you run 2-3 Blox Fruits accounts without slowdowns?
Customer Support: How quickly do they resolve issues like login errors?
VSPhone’s free trial includes 5GB storage and 2 hours of daily usage—enough to farm 5,000 Beli or collect 3 rare fruits.
5. FAQ: Answering Your Blox Fruits Boat & Cloud Gaming Questions
Q1: Can I lose my boat in Blox Fruits? How do I recover it?
Yes—boats are destroyed if their durability drops to 0 (e.g., from sea monster attacks or player PvP). To recover, return to the Boat Dealer in the same sea and repurchase the boat. Note: Destroyed boats don’t refund Beli, so always keep a repair kit (purchased from the Blacksmith) for emergencies.
Q2: What’s the fastest way to farm Beli for a Yacht in the Second Sea?
Focus on the “Marine Raid” quest on Enies Lobby Island. Completing it rewards 15,000 Beli + 2 Steel Plates (useful for boat upgrades). Pair this with a cloud phone running a second account—use the alt account to farm lower-sea Beli and transfer it to your main via in-game trading.
Q3: How does VSPhone cloud phone improve Blox Fruits gameplay compared to my local device?
VSPhone cloud phones offer three key advantages:
24/7 Uptime: Run Blox Fruits while your local device charges or sleeps—perfect for AFK fruit farming or Beli grinding.
Multi-Account Efficiency: Manage 3-5 accounts simultaneously to collect resources faster. No more switching between devices or dealing with overheating.
Premium Hardware: VSPhone’s servers handle Roblox’s high server loads, reducing lag during crowded events like Server Wars or Raid Boss spawns.
New users can test these benefits with VSPhone’s free cloud phone trial—no credit card required.
