Shipwright says... The Serpent's junk-rigged sails make her easier to sail upwind.

The Serpent is a level 8 ship capable of a variety of roles, as it has a heavy armament, decent speed, and fair cargo capacity. Boarding a Serpent may prove difficult for some players to get on, as it has high and flat sides that can be accessed from the water by use of a ladder on the side of the hull. Serpents struggle with somewhat poor maneuverability, thus they may have trouble fighting smaller, more maneuverable foes. However, the high walls raise the cannons off the water enough to give it a sizable range in combat.

Trivia

• During the Inyolan Invasion of Whitecrest, five Inyolan Serpents blockaded Whitecrest.
• The Serpent is one of only three obtainable Junk-Rigged ships in the game, the others being the Kraken, and the Taipan.
• The Serpent's sail type is a mixture of square and lateen, see Wind for more information.
• On March 3rd, 2023, the Serpent got a remodel along with extra customization and better sailing performance.
