Summer in Mara : Upgrading Boat and Unlocking New Islands

The Mara universe consists not only of the city of Qälis but also a lot more smaller islands without inhabitants. One of the major perks of unlocking all the other maps is that easy access to resources that will help during side quests and even the main quests. There are more than 5 small islands and a few tiny islands without a lot of resources. There’s also easy travel to these islands but it often costs a few coins. However, before actually unlocking the majority of the maps, one of the keys is to upgrade the boat.

Upgrading the boat costs 1000 coins, 2 paddles and a tank costing 500. The fastest way to make that money is by selling ore and everything you got to the inhabitants of Mara. Don’t worry, after getting the new boat, you can make a lot easier money by visiting other islands full of resources. While traveling through these islands, you can also loot some of the resources that are available in the island.

Before I was able to upgrade the boat, I was also building a mine on the home island.

Apparently, inside the home island there are a few ores from silver to gold. This will also speed up making coins to get the boat.

As I was finishing mining all the resources, I went back to Qälis and sold everything. Then, I was heading to Caleb to pool all the resources and finally get the boat.

As the boat was upgraded, all squares from the map were expanded and I had to travel one by one just to eventually unlock all of them. When you’re not using a joystick, it takes a while because in this game, Koa has to run, otherwise you’re walking at a slower pace and it takes ages to finish all the quests in this game.

Tips from me

While playing this game, don’t get sidetracked by the side quests. There are quite a few of them and if you’re annoyed by way too many quests on the list, it’s better to stick to a few and finish them all.

By unlocking all the new islands, it also opens up a lot more quests and we’re getting closer to discover the Elits, seemingly an alien species who are far more advanced than Koa and rivals the inhabitants of Qälis.

For the next update, see you on Friday!
