Navigating the Hazards

To start your journey, make your way over to the lively Tortuga market. You can find this helpful hub located in the second biome on the left side of your world map. Once you arrive safely, take a stroll down toward the docks to find two specific NPCs. A quick heads-up on the game's translations: the subtitles might occasionally call them the "prison of the coast," but they are actually the wonderful Brethren of the Coast faction!

Surviving the Reputational Grind

To unlock the coveted Frigate blueprint, you will want to team up with this faction and work your way up to trust level four, which is the maximum rank. Increasing your reputation with the Brethren of the Coast is a rewarding loop—simply engage with other vessels, gather their resource drops, and trade them in to show your support.

Once you hit that max level, the blueprint can be yours for 3,000 Piastre (which the translation sometimes hilariously calls "buoyant"). If you want to stock up on Piastre quickly, some of the best and most fun activities include searching for lost barrels, clearing out pirate camps, and taking on various side quests around the world!

Constructing Your Floating Fortress

Once you have the blueprint in hand, you are one step closer to your dream ship! You won't be able to build it right there at the market, so head back to the wharf at your very own personal base to start construction. Crafting this powerhouse requires a good amount of supplies, so it is a great idea to start gathering wood, plenty of copper ingots, coarse fabric, and nails.

Statistical Superiority

Before you set off on your grand gathering adventure, let's take a quick look at how the Frigate compares to other Windrose ship variants so you can see exactly why this awesome vessel is worth every bit of effort!

Final Instructions

Now that you know the brutal reality of acquiring this vessel, please implement some basic naval combat tips: stop sailing in perfectly straight lines, aim your heavy cannons directly at the enemy's hull, and repair your sinking ship before you blindly engage.
