Template:Caravans
Caravans are vehicles that facilitate the transfer of cargo across Verra.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
- Caravans are the induction of emergent gameplay, which means you cannot predict the situation you're going to be in when you use a caravan. That's part of the risk: The risk is the unknown. If you could predict it then your ability to mitigate that risk would unfortunately remove that dynamic- that ratio of risk versus reward.[13] – Steven Sharif
- Personal caravans are used to transport cargo for one or more players.[8][9][10]
- Mayoral caravans are used by Mayors to transfer cargo between nodes with established trade agreements or alliances.[6][7]
- Caravans are initiated from and arrive at caravansary node buildings within Village (stage 3) nodes and above.[14][8][15][16]
- Caravans create an objective-based PvP event in the open-world that players can choose to attack, defend, or opt-out of.[17][18][19][20]
- PvE caravan events can cause roadways to be blocked off or hostile mobs to spawn to attack the caravan.[21][22]
- It is possible to launch decoy caravans and merchant ships, but there are visual hints of what is contained in a caravan.[23][24][25] Decoy crates may be available via social organization progression.[23]
