Progress Through the Story for Free Ships
Completing the main storyline in Season 1 unlocks two valuable Rare ships. These are essential for building a strong foundation, especially for free-to-play players.
- Dragon Lance: Designed for tanking and absorbing damage.
- Black Raven: A versatile DPS ship with balanced offensive capabilities.
While these ships may seem ordinary compared to higher tiers, they’re highly effective, especially for new players. Their availability early in the game allows ample time for upgrading and integrating them into your strategies.
Pro Tip
Maximizing your ship acquisition relies on strategic resource management.
- Upgrade Materials: Obtain crucial upgrade materials like High-Quality Pines by raiding Armed Freighters and Merchant Ships.
- Alternative Purchasing: Alternatively, purchase these materials at Baron’s Fleet stall using Gold or, if discounted, Emeralds.
This will greatly accelerate your ships’ development, giving you a competitive edge.
Obtain Ships from Limited-Time Events
Seasonal events often provide unique opportunities to acquire free ships.
- Pirate King’s Trail (Season 1): The event rewards the Crimson Sentinel, an Epic ship, specializing in Burning and Drowning damage.
- Sea Voyage (Season 2): This event rewards the Providence, a durable Dragon Lance variant with additional taunt abilities.
These events have time-sensitive windows, meaning missed events may never return. Stay diligent to capitalize on these opportunities.
Unlock Shipbuilding in Season 2
Season 2 introduces a valuable ship acquisition method: the Shipbuilding mechanic.
- Crafting Materials: Craft ships using Shipwright’s Hammers, Gold, and Ship Blueprints.
- Ship Options: Ship options crafted include the Warhammer and Stormbringer.
- Random Outcomes: Crafting doesn’t always guarantee higher rarity. Most often, Rare ships are acquired, with Epic and Legendary ships appearing less frequently.
Prioritize acquiring the crafting materials from vendors like Rogue’s Retailer and Cartographer’s Corner for maximizing your ship building. Note that the Dock Merchant has them in Season 1, but better deals are available in Season 2.
Note
Consider the implications of crafting ship skills.
- Random Skills: Crafted ships receive randomly generated skills. Thoroughly examine these abilities to ensure they align with your strategy before investing further in enhancements.
Purchasing Ships via In-App Transactions
For players comfortable spending real money, premium ships are available through in-app purchases.
- Fearless Princess (Epic): Approximately $10.
- Warhammer (Legendary): Approximately $100.
- Stormbringer (Legendary): Approximately $100.
In contrast to crafted ships, these premium ships come with predefined, optimized skills, making them highly effective immediately. Some ship packs might include valuable resources. Explore opportunities for enhancing your overall investment by purchasing in-game currency alongside your ship purchases.
