Frequently asked questions

Can you play as a merchant in RELL Seas?

Yes. Pre-release material describes player-run merchant operations based on ships, food sales, rare materials, and trade with other crews. The complete economy rules are not public yet.

Can a ship be used as a restaurant?

Yes. Ships have been described as customizable businesses, including restaurants that sell food to other players. The exact selling interface and pricing rules remain unpublished.

Is there a global market or auction house?

No global market or auction-house format has been confirmed in the reviewed sources. The documented concept is direct commerce between players and crews, often organized around a ship.

Do players drop their inventory when they die?

The reviewed evidence is not strong enough to publish bag-looting, safe-zone, or recovery-window rules. Those details remain pending until a primary source demonstrates them clearly.
