Deploying a personal caravan in Alpha-2.[2]

It's important for me to find a place that's relatively obscure so as not to attract any unwanted eyes.[2] – Steven Sharif

Personal caravans prepared and launched at caravan master NPCs located at caravansary service buildings that are present at Village (organiser 3) or higher nodes.[3][1][4][5]

When you want to launch a caravan you have must first have a caravan that's constructed at the caravansary.[4] – Steven Sharif
  • Once a caravan is constructed it will be hosted at that caravansary. Players will be able to select from a list of available caravans via a UI screen, which will show the available storage compartments for each caravan.[3][4]
  • All types of cargo can be shipped in caravans. The only constraint is available size (in the Tetris inventory system).[7]
  • Once a caravan is constructed and loaded with cargo, it is in a launch-ready state and can be launched in the caravan master UI whenever the caravan owner is ready. Launching the caravan will place a caravan item in the owner's inventory.[3]
You're going to have a little caravan item and when you right-click it you're going to be in deployable mode for you to be able to place that- it's a representation that you're summoning the caravan so that people around you know that you are launching a caravan.[3] – Chris Justo
  • Once launched, caravan owners will see a visible radius around the node, beyond which the owner can begin deployment of their caravan.[3] Deployment takes approximately two minutes by default, but can hastened through upgrades to the caravansary building.[8]
    • Previously the concept for launching a caravan involved an overhead map UI of the node.[4] The developers moved away from this in favor of a more immersive in-world approach.[9]
  • Personal caravans can also be summoned in the open-world from caravansaries in nearby nodes. This will also begin a deployment process that will take an amount of time based on the distance from the caravansary, the caravan's components, and any benefits or buffs from upgrades, node policies, or relics.[10]
  • Previously it was stated that personal caravans can be launched from any point of storage.[13]

Personal caravans

Caravan speed is affected by caravan components and the type of roading.[14]

There'll be different variants of each of the components, with the wheels for example, would have variants that will excel perhaps at off-road over on-road and vice versa. So right now we have caravans that are set up more for the on-road portion, but you will travel faster over roads, but that obviously comes with the increased risk of running into other players or monsters that are blocking the road.[14] – Chris Justo

Personal caravans of different tiers deployed outside the Winstead node in Alpha-2. 3D models by Hal Anderson.[15]

Personal caravans (also referred to as Self-directed/player-driven caravans) are utilized by players to transport cargo across Verra. These are land-based and water-based (raft caravans) that a single player drives and directs.[3][1][16][17][11][18]

  • Caravan drivers receive a significant defensive buff while they are driving a caravan. This reduces CC effects and increases damage mitigation significantly.[19]
  • The caravan owner is able to grant permissions to allow other players to drive their caravans. If these permissions are not activated by the owner then anyone can drive their caravans. If the caravan driver is killed or otherwise removed from the caravan then any player will be able to drive the caravan for a period of 15 to 20 minutes before the caravan despawns and becomes a wreckage.[19]
    • A caravan will persist in the world for a period of 5 to 10 minutes from the time its owner logs out or is disconnected from the server.[20]
  • Caravans have collision, so other players could jump on the caravan while it is being driven.[19]
    • Players or mounts trying to block caravans will be pushed out of the way.[21][22]

Summoning personal caravans in the open-world

Summoning a caravan after a successful caravan raid in Alpha-2.[23]

The way summoning works is the length of that summon is determined by where you are.[23] – John Collins

Personal caravans can be summoned (via a caravan item) from caravansary service buildings at nearby Village (organiser 3) or higher nodes. This will begin a deployment process that will take an amount of time based on the distance from the caravansary, the caravan's components, and any benefits or buffs from upgrades, node policies, or relics.[23][10]

Let's say you find some some loot that is in the form of cargo and you want to haul that back somewhere. You can use an action to summon your caravan from the closest node to that location and you will spawn this similar summoning function; and the time to travel to you will be predicated on the distance to the node, the components of the caravan, and any other the potential benefits or buffs that are denoted by special building construction, relics, or policies.[10] – Steven Sharif

Collecting cargo

Summoned caravan collecting commodities and materials crates from a caravan wreckage in Alpha-2.[24]

Players may summon an empty caravan from a nearby node to collect and transport crates from caravan wreckages.[25][26][27]

Looting at the spot obviously you can do right away. The problem with that though is you forfeit a lot of the materials: a lot more get lost; and as you crack open those crates. But if you're able to have your own caravan and bring it there, you can loot and you'll get more of the overall materials that way.[25] – Chris Justo
