How to Unlock Ship Armor

Craft Armors From Blacksmiths

Armors can be crafted at Blacksmiths located in Pirate Dens and Outposts as long as you have the Blueprints and the required Infamy. Blueprints can be obtained by purchasing them from vendors or following clues.

Once you have enough Resources and Silver, craft your desired armor at the Blacksmith.

Unlock Better Armors with Higher Infamy

Better armors can be unlocked at the Blacksmith the higher your Infamy grows. Infamy can be increased by fulfilling Contracts and other side quests.

Seasonal Rewards

Seasons offer seasonal ship gear as rewards. This includes weapons and other attachments for participating in various seasonal activites while they are active.

The speculative dates above are based on the confirmed in-game events being tied to holidays or real world events.

How to Equip Ship Armor

Attach Armors While Docked

Ship Armors can be equipped while your ship is docked at any Pirate Den or Outpost. You can access the Manage Ship menu from any point inside these areas to outfit your ship with armor.

Damage Mitigation Types

Armors Add Damage Resistances

Outfitting your ships with armor adds resistance to certain damage types, on top of the defense reduction of the Armor stat. Some armors have Perks to further improve their damage mitigation!
