A heavy iron anchor with a fist-sized Himinkryst set where the shank meets the arms. Dropped over the side, it stops in midair and stays there.


Ship Upgrade(Utility) , Rare (No)

The anchor has 3 charges. As an action, a creature can expend 1 charge and drop the anchor over the side. It fixes itself in place in the air, and the ship, chained to it, holds position until the anchor is raised.

  • While anchored, the ship spends no flight time to hover, so holding position overnight costs no flight time (see Navigation).
  • An anchored ship can’t move, and it has advantage on any check or saving throw against being pushed from its position.

The anchor regains all expended charges daily at dawn.
