Ship building can be carried out by any player in possession of the right components, recipes, and an advanced enough node with a harbor.[3][4][5]
- Various professions can craft ship components.[3][4] These components can be sold to other players.[6]
- Ships may only be crafted or upgraded in harbor ship workstations that are unlocked by the advancement of coastal nodes.[3][6][7][8]
- Players can choose which "joints" get populated with either offensive weaponry, defensive, or utility attachments they want on their ship prior to construction completion.[2][9][10] The types of attachments that are available are dictated by the ship's class.[2]
- Ships will likely not have closed spaces or internal compartments such as Captain's quarters.[15]
- We are trying to stay away from internal compartments within the ships because that presents a whole different type of user interface and flow that can be a bit cumbersome and problematic, especially in combat and in closed spaces. So we're trying to stay away from that under deck aspect and keep things all on deck for better readability on the player side.[16] – Steven Sharif
Ship workstations
Ship workstations are crafting stations located in harbors.[3][6][7][8]
- Ships may be crafted or upgraded at ship workstations by any player with the required ship components and recipes.[3][6][7][8]
- Ship workstations are unlocked by the advancement of nearby coastal nodes.[3][6][7][8]
- Different professions are responsible for creating different components of the shipbuilding process. And then at the harbor, you will interact with a unique workstation based on having the recipe or the blueprint for the particular ship that you're attempting to build and the components that are then derived from multiple professions to then finally create the ship item.[3] – Steven Sharif
Ship components
Ship components and recipes are utilized in the construction of ships in harbors of advanced enough nodes.[3][4][5]
- Various professions can craft ship components.[3][4] These components can be sold to other players.[6]
- There will be decorative ship components/attachments.[14]
- There are absolutely attachments that can apply to the ship and some of those are decorative in nature. There are also slots that have utility aspects to them as well but are also decorative.[14] – Steven Sharif
Ship repair
Ships may be repaired but it will be a lengthier process than in other games.[18]
- Once repaired, ships can only be launched from land.[18]
Harbors
Harbors are points of interest that appear in proximity to coastal nodes.[21][6][7] Harbors have a significant amount of influence over the waters.[22]
- The first coastal node to reach Village (stage 3) will take control of its closest harbor.[21][22]
- Harbors have a disembarkation zone that merchant ships can cross to be guided into the harbor.[20]
- Merchant ships can only be launched and received at harbors in a similar way that land caravans can only be launched and received at a caravansary.[20]
- Harbors will grant quests that are related to naval content.[22][12][7]
- Ships may only be crafted or upgraded in harbor ship workstations that are unlocked by the advancement of coastal nodes.[3][6][7][8]
- Coastal nodes are not directly siegeable by sea. Instead, harbors offer objective-based naval gameplay during node sieges.[21][23][24]
Naming ships
Ships will be able to be named.[25][26]
Ship skins
Ship skins apply to certain ship types.[28]
- Building, ship, caravan and mount cosmetics require an in-game item to be obtained first to apply the cosmetic.[29][30]
