So, I've got a broup of adventuerers whom I need to sends from Sharn to Wyvernskull in Darguun. My question is... what kind of transportations methods are available for such a trip? What are their costs? How long does it take to get from "a" to "b"?

Any idea where I can find this information?

Charter a sailing ship or airship, or take the lightning rail to southern Thrane (or eastern Zilargo) and join a caravan (or hire an cart, if they can find somebody willing to brave the journey) to travel overland via Rhukaan Draal.  Possibly pay a fare on a ship with a regular trading route between Sharn & Wyvernskull, but the latter is not a heavily travelled port.

There's a chart of travel times & prices on p. 44 of the Eberron Campaign Guide (4th ed.).  There's also a much more detailed chart in the Explorer's Handbook (with slightly different prices & speeds; apparently shpis were slower & cheaper in 3rd edition).  The Explorer's Handbook also has a table of lightning rail travel times; it's about 3 days from Sharn to Thrane or Zilargo.

If you want to figure this stuff in detail, I do recommend the Explorer's Handbook.   The travel chapter is carefully detailed.

I'll go take a look in there. At least now I know that it will take them several days of travel ... now I just need to find the right sea encounter... :D
