Hull Plates
Hull Plates improve the opposed defence roll, helping your ship avoid incoming attacks.
Role and equipment slot
Hull Plates improve the opposed defence roll, helping your ship avoid incoming attacks.
Defence is separate from Hull HP. These plates do not add maximum Hull or reduce every successful incoming hit by a fixed percentage.
Only intact equipment that meets its skill requirement supplies an active bonus. Equip it in its matching slot; a replacement moves the previous item back into your inventory.
Tier requirements
All hull plates require Hull Defence. The same requirement applies when equipping and when performing an ordinary rarity upgrade. Rarity does not alter this level gate. Your combined combat level does not replace the individual skill requirement.
| Equipment | Required Hull Defence | Common defence | Rare defence | Epic defence | Legendary defence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull Plates T1 | 1 | 9 | 11 | 14 | 16 |
| Hull Plates T2 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 21 | 24 |
| Hull Plates T3 | 10 | 25 | 28 | 31 | 35 |
| Hull Plates T4 | 20 | 36 | 39 | 42 | 46 |
| Hull Plates T5 | 30 | 47 | 51 | 55 | 60 |
| Hull Plates T6 | 40 | 62 | 66 | 71 | 75 |
| Hull Plates T7 | 60 | 80 | 86 | 93 | 99 |
| Hull Plates T8 | 80 | 106 | 115 | 124 | 132 |
| Hull Plates T9 | 100 | 141 | 150 | 159 | 168 |
Rarity and tier progression
Upgrade Common → Rare → Epic → Legendary at the Shipwright using one exact target-rarity scroll of the item's tier, Wood, Boat Scrap and Coins. The payments are 750, 2,500 and 8,000 Coins respectively.
To advance beyond Legendary, use one Common Artifact Scroll of the next tier and 5,000 Coins. This produces Common equipment of the same type at the next tier. T9 is the final tier.
Tier advancement has no skill gate, but the result still requires its listed skill to equip. An equipped result moves to the hold if you do not meet its higher requirement.
Material and Scrap costs
Each cell shows physical material pieces followed by Boat Scrap for that one rarity step. The scroll and Coin payment are additional. Carry all ingredients unpacked.
| Tier | To Rare | To Epic | To Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | 4 / 30 | 8 / 75 | 12 / 180 |
| T2 | 5 / 120 | 9 / 300 | 13 / 720 |
| T3 | 6 / 270 | 10 / 675 | 14 / 1,620 |
| T4 | 7 / 480 | 11 / 1,200 | 15 / 2,880 |
| T5 | 8 / 750 | 12 / 1,875 | 16 / 4,500 |
| T6 | 10 / 1,080 | 14 / 2,700 | 18 / 6,480 |

Recycling and restoration
Recycling an intact, unpacked item yields Wood and Boat Scrap. Rare and better items also return Coins. No equip level is required. Unequip the item first and leave room for the returned material.
Broken items give no equipment bonus and cannot be recycled until restored. Their service is Ship Mechanic. Restoration is unavailable for T1–T5; T6–T9 currently cost 12,000, 24,000, 48,000, 96,000 Coins respectively.
Each individual item page lists its full NPC source, rarity-upgrade, recycling and restoration tables.
