Ocean

The Ocean is an area found on the surface of each map. It buffers the very ends of the map.

It is simply a barren body of water which gets very deep before hitting the invisible wall at the edge of the map. If players without proper accessories try to swim to the side of the map, there is a serious risk of drowning. It is recommended to bring a Breathing Reed, a Magic Mirror and/or Flippers, but not quite necessary. At the very least have a Grappling Hook and a few Healing Potions.

Oceans will uncommonly contain chests with loot pertaining to water.

Chest running
A very popular technique is to generate a SMALL or MEDIUM sized map. Then using the Necro armor, Hermes boots, anklet of the wind and other speed boost items, the player would run from one side of the map to the other. Since there is a very small chance to have no chests in the ocean, it is a very popular technique to get medium-tier items. The chests will, most times, contain items such as Breathing reeds, Shurikens, Magic mirrors, Dynamite and coins. A handy thing to know would be that even behind the dungeon there is an ocean so it is advised to have a grappling hook. A magic mirror would also be helpful has, once you've went from one side you don't need to run back.
