Guides:Ship Building Guide
To meet Wurmpedia's quality standards, this article or section requires a cleanup by the Wurmpedia Team.
Getting ready:
- It's advisable to begin with a minimum skill of 20 in Woodcutting. (More is always better...)
- The wood type of the last wooden item attached to a ship will determine the wood type of the finished ship. For example, attaching a cedar peg as the last wooden item will make the ship a cedar ship. For this reason your primary wood type for your ship should be whatever tree is most convenient or abundantly found as you can choose the ship's wood type at the end.
- Currently cedar decays slower than any other wood type in game, therefore it is best to ensure that the finished boat/ship is made of cedar. (This has been confirmed with all wood types including Oak.)
Note: As with all improving actions, you can improve up to a range slightly higher than your current skill of the action you are performing. For example: If you have a Ship Building skill of 3 you can improve seats up to a quality of 13).
