Guide:Surviving in the Ocean

=Getting Started= To survive in the ocean you need 1 main item. The Gills Potion. To make the Gills Potion you will need to take 1 Bottled Water, 1 waterleaf and 1 coral to any Alchemy Station.

You may want to make a Fish Bowl aswell. The fish bowl is a portable ocean that you can use as a helmet to save yourself if you leave the water with the gills potion still active. To make the fish bowl you will need to take 2 goldfish and 1 bottled water to any Work Bench.

=Notes=
 * In order to breath under-water you will need to firstly equip the fish bowl in the equipment slot (not the social slot)fishbowl.png.]]
 * Use the gills potion. If you put on the fish bowl without the gills potion active then you will start to drown if out of water. player underwater.png
 * It is recommended that you take at least 3 Gills Potions with you when venturing into the ocean as it is easy to get caught out of breath.

=Optional Items= Note: Although these items are optional they are recommended and prove to be very useful.
 * glowstick
 * Breathing Reed
 * Any Hammer, Meteor Hamaxe or Molten Hamaxe
 * A decent hand held weapon
 * Healing Potion
 * Flipper
 * Diving Helmet
 * Magic Mirror

=Chests= Chests are fairly common in the oceans. they mainly contain loot to do with water like Breathing Reed and Flipper. The ocean chests also contain general loot that can be found in most other chests around the world. Things like Gold Coin and Dynamite.

Note: Although all ocean chests spawn in the ocean, most spawn off the edge of the map making them impossible to reach.

=Getting There= In all worlds there are 2 oceans, 1 at either side of the map. The oceans don't really play a very big part in-game,they are mainly used for the Coral to make the Gills Potion paired with the Obsidian Skin Potion to make adventuring into the underworld safer.

=What is there to do there?= Once you have gotten to either of the oceans you can do a few things. '''Note: If you are going to be looting chests then you should get all of your speed boost items on, take a magic mirror and run to one of the oceans. Then when you have done that one use the magic mirror to save yourself a journey back.'''
