The Van Eltia (named for a Celestian word meaning "wealth") is the primary ship that is used in Tales of Eternia. According to Chat, "It's a '43 model, 12 cylinder, horizontally-aligned Craymel Engine designed by the legendary Craymel Mage, Maxton. 8,000 zaks maximum revolutions. With the super-charger, it kicks out a peak torque of 28,000 este."

[edit] Story

It is famous for having been the Great Pirate Aifread's ship, and is currently owned by Chat, his great-granddaughter. Upon first meeting Chat, she asks the party to become her deck hands, and they grudgingly agree due to their need of a ship. From that point, it is used as the main means of transportation in the game and is necessary not only to reach many locations, but later on, to travel between Inferia and Celestia.

[edit] Upgrades

As the story progresses, the Van Eltia gets rooms and tools as upgrades, the most notable being the Aibirds and Aifish, along with an observation deck and customizable cabins. Each cabin can be converted into an item shop, a game room, an inn, or an infirmary. Customizing the ship can be done at either the Port of Inferia or Tinnsia and costs hundreds of thousands of Gald. In preparation for the attack on Balir's Castle, it is also installed with the Craymel Cannon.
