Main / Skills / Carpentry / Ship building

Description

Ship building consists of making ships and the parts needed to construct them.

Ship building is a sub-skill of carpentry.

Items

See also Category:Ship building items

See also ship for information about using ships. All ships are started by using a keel section on a keel section.

• Small raft (cannot be boarded but can be dragged)
• Rowing boat
• Small sailing boat
• Corbita
• Cog
• Knarr
• Caravel

Ownership

• The last person to pick up and drop a boat while under construction will be marked as the owner of that boat upon completion.
• Boats can be managed by the owner to have various permissions, like allowing all friends to command the boat, or to transfer ownership to another player.
• Ownership can be taken from another player on the Wild server, but not on Freedom.

Miscellaneous

Some ship building items are impossible to create with 0 skill, but at least seat and hull plank should be available to get the initial 1 skill.

If you're making your first ever boat it is recommended to not make the keels as the first item. You should start by making hull plank, tenon, peg, and belaying pin. Then you make some of the more complicated pieces like oar or seat, and you improve those as far as you can to get your ship building skill up. Once your skill has reached 10-15, you may create the keel sections with decent success rate.

Weight in parentheses is raw material weight required to create.
