Two Water Depths exist in the New World - {{i|The Shallows}} and {{i|The Deep}}, and while [[Tiles]] exist of just one Depth the two are often inter-mixed.

{{i|The Shallows}} are denoted by a light blue color on both the mini map and in the world. The Shallows can be crossed by foot or by Steed, such as a {{i|Giant Cricket}}, but vehicles such as {{i|Cart}}s, {{i|Frontier Sled}}s, and {{i|Sturdy Sled}}s cannot be pulled across. Hitting either The Shallows or The Deep with one of these vehicles will cause you to instantly stop pulling.

(Remember, when getting Potable Water or Cleaning, do not left-click your item over water when otherwise you will lose it!)

{{i|Beaver}}s, {{i|Crab}}s, {{i|Frog}}s, and {{i|Oyster}}s are found regularly in The Shallows. {{i|Wishpoosh}}es may be found in The Shallows of {{i|The Darkness}}.

{{i|Timber Rattlers}} refuse to slither into The Shallows so stepping into them yourself is a good way to avoid getting bit if you are not prepared to fight. While other Creatures are not as shy about fighting in The Shallows Creatures which when killed yield a single item, such as {{i|Dead Rabbit}}, {{i|Dead Silk Runner}}, and {{i|Dead Warbite Cricket}}s will sink and disappear if killed in The Shallows. Startling a {{i|Crow}} that is sitting in The Shallows will cause its {{i|Crow Feather}} to sink and be lost as well.

Bodies of Water

CAUTION! Any item dropped into a Body of Water will be lost forever!

Bodies of Water icon.png Bodies of Water are any Water tile physically found out in the New World. If you are looking for info about Water used in crafting, Boiling, or Gardening, see Potable Water. Bodies of Water cannot normally be built on, however a Mysterious Lillypad icon.png Mysterious Lillypad can be placed on any Body of Water to allow Structures to be placed on top of it.

Forageables

Creatures

Depth

Two Water Depths exist in the New World - The Shallows icon.png The Shallows and The Deep icon.png The Deep, and while tiles exist of just one Depth or the other, the two are most often inter-mixed. Pilgrims can Fish icon.png Fish in either The Shallows or The Deep.

The Shallows

The Shallows icon.png The Shallows are denoted by a light blue color on both the mini map and in the world. The Shallows can be crossed by foot or by Steed, but Vehicles will cause them to instantly stop.

The Deep

The Deep icon.png The Deep is denoted by a dark blue color on both the mini map and in the world. There are no Forageables found in The Deep, but a Shellfish Trap icon.png Shellfish Trap can be placed in The Deep to catch Shellfish. The Deep cannot be crossed by foot and can only be crossed by using Swim icon.png Swim or Watercraft.

Watercraft

Watercraft are Transport Vehicles which can travel over Water. Objects can be loaded into a Watercraft by Lift icon.png Lifting it and right-clicking the Watercraft, and unload by right-clicking any of the sacks in the Watercraft. Watercraft themselves cannot be Lifted when cargo is loaded inside of them.

Craft Cargo Room Passengers Speed Notes
Canoe icon.png Canoe 1 1 Fast Backpack Transport
Rowboat icon.png Rowboat 4 3 Slow
Raft icon.png Raft 8 5 Moderate

Swimming

Swim icon.png Swim can be toggled on or off to allow for the crossing of The Deep icon.png The Deep tiles of Water. Swim drains Phlegm based on your Skill at Swimming. Running out of Phlegm while Swimming will cause you to become Knocked Out. Most Creatures cannot Swim so combat can be disengaged from in a pinch by Swimming into The Deep. Notably, both Wishpoosh icon.png Wishpooshes can Swim and Furfur icon.png Furfurs can fly over Water.
