GUIDE

Upgrading the Jackdaw

A strong Jackdaw trivialises the map. Spend your plunder here before anything else.

Priorities

  • Hull Armour first — survivability lets you fight bigger prey.
  • Broadside Cannons and the Ram for offence.
  • Mortar and swivel guns for range and boarding setups.
  • Rewards from Legendary Ships and forts unlock the final elite upgrades.
