wdym some reason, more crop+more rendering+more load on system and software=lag
worst is fountains those things hurt
Innit 1.5x?
Oh I love these guys! They always have something interesting to say.
not always, i know one of these irl and every game i play in front of him, he snickers saying it used ai and he'll never play it, then he proceeds to play overwatch and destiny 2 for 3 trillion hours
Hellhound
Grim Reaper
Weeping Angel
guys what do you think about my ship naming skill
Is there anyway to raise up the amounts of bullets I can carry more than 40
mods
mods
i have 50 trillion qol mods installed
just carry more of that type of ammo in your inventory and you get as many as you'd like
i'd just put spare bullets and powder in your flagship
bro is playing an entirely different game
same with food and meds
Bro's playing Skyrim the long way round
tbh not something drastic, higher stacks, longer looting range, larger fog clearance, larger inventory, shorter cooldown while crafting, slig,htly faster ships etc very qol focused stuff
so like noob mode
yes
xd
i'm neurodivergent and the map fog tilted me so much thank god for that increase fog range mod
i have autsim
high 5
IMO... Fog of war is always bad unless a mechanic exists to completely clear it in chunks. Like in the old A.C
Hi, I have a problem in Windrose on Steam. When I try to start a game or join my friend’s world, it shows the loading screen for a moment and then sends me back to the main menu (Play / Settings). My friend has the same issue too. We both play on Steam and can’t enter the game world at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?
i just think on food needs a larger range of terrain revalation
and i left the 26 stack
no sorry
#🤝│player-help may have a better chance at knowing
Ok thx
is this game crazy bad like enshrouded
enshrouded is rather good imho
its trash
ok. that's just like, your opinion, man
if you want an opinion on the game, feel free to check the reviews. i personally enjoy this game, but it does have some similarities to enshrouded and valheim
Imma get that fog clearence for that last shipwreck loot i've been ACHING to find (last thing to explore on my map)😭
I've put 236 hours in Enshrouded and I would say this game FEELS better. Also set in the caribbean with boats, nice water and good weather. So I'd favor this over enshrouded tbh even though this one lacks content (understandably)
If I want to use the Rapier of Devastation, what armor set should I use and how should I invest my progression + talent points?
man what the hell do you do with all these damn normal repair kits
i've got like 30 of them
Dismantle them
cann sell to brethren of the coast
I want the ability to dig deeper in the water T^T our canal is but a pipe dream for all but simply dinghys...
bro's pulling a teddy roosevelt
A man, a plan, a canal. Sighdeath
i think they just buy the blue and purple ones, not green
Recycle them?
We spent like 2 hours making it HUGE. If nothing it'll be a dope decoration for our island once we get it concrete-ed up. But i wanna sail thruuuu
now i just need the boots to finish this set 🔥
Hello, whati is the folder to backup
I have been kind and helpful 66% of the time
gonna max a musket for sniping, it's all about reliable musket right?
Buccaneer's Friend, more like it.
bro, you are on the beach. No shoes needed
🔥
Enshrouded was very boring
you're right cause its your opinion right - but it's also very peaceful
the rest of the time I'm either kind or helpful
Usually people who self proclaim to be kind and helpful are neither
He is kind OR helpful.
thank you
I'm always at least either kind or helpful. At the moment I'm very kind and very unhelpful
you are wonderful
isn't the risk of asking an open question in a room of 47k+ strangers that you might get an answer that comes across as perhaps offensive to you? 
i no longer fear lvl 8 ships as i just sunk 4 of them at once 🙏
Thank you, kind sir!
Is there more furniture planned? Any middleground? Right now it goes from 'cheap crap made from leafs' to 'luxury furniture made from finest hardwood and tanned leather'. Something between which might need just normal wood and nails would make sense IMO. Or is that in already and I missed it?
guys dont look at your phones while sailing, i almost just hit an island!
I celebrate your success! 🥂
thanks! 😊
that how you land 😄
Guys how do I get ||Thousand Cuts?||
find it
Look very hard for it
but the inventory not unlimited space as well
well i left my ship sailing when i back it was dead i didn't no know why but i believe i hit the end of the map
can someone clarify something for me regarding respawn: stuff like the jungle ruin with dodo's on the top and 2 drowned below in cellar that gives healing herbs in chest's do they respawn those chests or is it a one time thing?
What location can I buy smithing flux at?
Tortuga
Or if theres a way to make it on my own that would be pretty cool too
chests are one time, but there are things that look kinda like jars or packages that contain the things that a poi indicates in its map info popup, those respawn.
so those tribal chest in cellars counts as a chest= one time? i know the bale thing supplies in blackbeard camps respawn with gunpowder
Hover over the main bases on your map. It will tell you what material can be purchased at that location
basically if it contains loot and dissapears when you loot it, it will respawn. If it just stops sparkling but is still there, its a one time loot.
Hovering over them just says what loot comes from ships for me
I’ll take a photo when I’m home. May be confusing as to what I’m saying
Well I moved my base and Doctor Galen is not in my base anymore.. Where is he?
Go to bonfire and reassign him
Interact with the bonfire, and re-settle the good doctor back
thanks
Galen is a fickle man
Ah nevermind i got it. I was hovering over the fast travel point instead of the base icon itself
u can upload ur seed to a website and it can show u the entire map
look i found a dog
Hi, I have a question. What kind of iron ring is needed to enter a swamp dungeon?
You need a rope
I found a mod on curseforge that just deletes the whole fog on the map. Ez install - it was great thx
there would be little reason for me to do it THAT way anymore ngl xD
yeah, by causing global warming. No more fog?
i got the boots from my quest to my set🔥
On the MAP - the gameplay fog is still there lol
hi guys i upgraded my trust to 4 with one of the factions, but i still can't buy some items from the provisioner, why is that?
What are you trying to buy from where
you have the correct currency in your inventory, yea?
Did you leave your money on your ship captain?
people of tortilla or something faction, theyre trust 4, but i cant buy some furnitures and naval items, some others i can buy
Have you defeated all bosses?
lemme show u a screenshot gimme a sec
no only 2
Correct me if im wrong but I think some content is gatekept after some bosses
some take gold coins so silvers wont cut it. bosses are irrelevant for the faction shops iirc
Kill the last one and get back to us
I thinks thats the answer. For example you can buy the frigate blueprint but you cant build it until you defeat the last boss.
ah. yes. yet the plan itself is not gatekept by progression
That's not true? I built frigate long before even starting the last questline
Different cited sources through google AI says otherwise. I personallt couldn't either.
Guys is Thousand Cuts rapier all random ?
ok i found the reason, its because of a mod i think, i uninstalled all mod and ran the game and i can buy everything yippie
you dont need the swamp boss for the frigate. correct.
only hands (2nd boss*) to unlock the materials for crafting
We need more deco! Specially, we would like bed pans and bath tubs! 😁
I stand corrected - this is the waey
it can be a massive pain in the backside to find solutions for some issues with the mods causing so much trouble ngl 
Right now we are forced to use dessert pans as bed pans, thankfully we stole enough of them from the Gov’ner’s house during the raid, but proper bed pans would be nice t’have!
To obtain it, yes it’s random
Are ||Tumbaga Ingots|| a finite resource? Since I'm reached the Marshes I didn't find one single piece.... and I need it. 🤔
there is a poi where you just got to if you keep looking, its guarded by lots of Thralls
Thanks I'll look fo it. 👍
Tainted Ruins of an Ancient Temple, is the name
Nice! 👍
Will i like this game if i hate enshrouded
Purchase it and see. Steam has a 2hr/14 day refund period I believe
windrose is veeeery forgiving survival-wise (atleast at lower difficulties) and there´s no real repairing of armor or weapons or tools (i would count the ship repair more like using bandages or healthpot on your char, very easy and very cheap)
WHERES ME PARROT?? ARR.....!!
Yess!!
Did you see this guy called vika mountaineer on yt cool bases
someone should make a modern battlecruiser mod for this game
with ballistic missiles
nope^^
i like chilling with this and the 15 vitality necklace. so i don't really need to eat food.
if i swap to other weapons i swap the 20 to other weapon stats.
That’s a beautiful ship design, I hope it makes it into the game someday
just hope we get some more customization options on flag and sails
That’s definitely something that will be added
Is there a way to completely disable ship battles so the enemy doesn't engage with you. Because the whole system is broken and the aim is completey off
how it is off?
Because the whatever the hell you want to call it aim white thingy is not accurate with the ammo
So, all those battles I won.....I was off? 😉
Does anyone know the name of this type of ship?
Please before someone says skill issue, I've been doing direct hits 100% of the time when the game came out. Whatever they updated must have completely changed the aim. I literally should have 100% hit on a ship and it sails over we're talking right next to each other
the aim thing with ship battle is not like instant hit what you aim at. cannon balls have travel time
the further away they are the more you have to anticipate and lead the shot
Don't! Please don't teach me how to aim. My aim is accurate. I know how to lead and momentum. So please, don't teach me. I'm dead serious when I say, a direct shot does not directly hit the ship. Has anyone known of an issue causing this or maybe mods or could it be the latest update
only thing I can really go off is the rigging, two masts and mixed rigging would make it a Brigantine I think
I told you the ship was right next to me. I had a direct shot aimed perfectly in the middle of the ship and it sailed over
Is there a chance that the vram memory leak issue on Linux will be solved any time soon
tnks
In my experience being even a pixel above the enemy cannon line makes it overshoot
I've had plenty shots where I felt cheated
I started aiming for the water line on the enemy ship, it feels like my shots are more consistent that way
though it is hard to see what exactly you're aiming at sometimes
I guess it's not just me who feels my aim has been off the last week or so? I used to hit all the time from far away and up close, but now I overshoot like crazy.
.... skill issue, use a smaller boat, 😉
Imagine what naval warfare was really like back then.
spray & pray? 
kinda
Keep shooting till you hit the target.
you defo wouldn't have white lines showing your preliminary projectile 
zero aim really, between bad cannons, bad gun powder (how come we dont need it for boats again?), and offset canon balls, add boats going up and down/left and right, it was spray and pray lol
Coming from World of Warships i didnt even think about it, my hand just aimed at the waterline because thats what you do in that game
i feel like my cannons shoot higher than the visual thing
Exactly!
Here, this is a lead shot despite the boat turning which my shots should have landed center or back. I aimed low and lead in the front as you can see in this video. Tell me, why did it go wide left and over the ship?
https://gyazo.com/0ffa05e4399374e6f0b5a4479e270ffe
its quite annoying actually, i keep shooting over the enemy ships, i have to aim at the water half of the time to even hit them!
In my experience. If you think you’re spot on, aim lower
Eaxctly, so I'm not crazy right the aim is off?
I always aim waterline too
i feel like its either that or the waves making us miss by pointing the ship upwards if we get in a wave
I kinda get the opposite effect, im pretty accurate in ship combat in rough water but terribly mediocre in calm water
"chamber pots"
Also if you think about it, you have a drop off at the end of your aim where your cannon amo is supposed to drop. This allows you to have placement where you anticipate where the ship will move. Well, in windrose, you can be dead on the drop and the cannon ammo doesn't even reach halway lfmao something is off
when can i equip a cannon i push around on wheels as my primary weapon
switch Agility and Strength and that's me
I will admit, that one looked pretty wonky... I would say it does look PLAUSIBLE that you would overshoot considering where (roughly) you aim (red line) vs where I think would have made the shot land (blue line)... but regardless, I think you're right it kinda looked too easy to miss there
"drag with a rope over your shoulder"
And the moment I get my trebuchet
Also, I've been missing like crazy since the last update
also, I want to be able to build a garderobe in my fortress (obsessed wiht them since I visited the Tower of London)
"i deal 500x crit damage to the enemy via grapeshot, now to reload for 120 seconds"
already did, as i switched to halberd
Just really crank up that strength and you won't need to push it.
oh dear, mine's the Executioner
i far preffer greatsword
had to try plague halberd, but the moveset and the lack of parry is game breakingly bad
I even did a video demonstrating the Executioner #💬│windrose-chat message
the one thing that I don't like is the forward motion. I'd like to stay in place as I use it thank you
I've given up on using the front mounted weapons for anything other than when I accidentally crash into an enemy ship. And even then they tend to miss. >.>
Dawg the mf mast is always my way when i try and use front cannons 😭
I hate when I accidentally swap to the baby artillery and I don't realize it until like 10 minutes in and i'm like "why tf am I not doing like any damage?"
It's called "artillery" and it takes horses to carry it around, and forget to carry it across swamps... 😉
Can you buy flax in Tortuga or somewhere instead of ordering (waiting)?
flax seeds?
No, the flax plant for making linen fabric.
After you kill the second boss you can buy flax and flax seeds from a merchant contract that you buy for your own base.
No, but you can buy merchant rights for it, which are available after the second boss
Alright. Guess I gotta wait 1 hour.
Im sure Roger already beat Hands
Just Priestess left.
any1 know when the next big update for windrose is i beat the game built so much on so many islands had sop much fun and now i got nothing to do i need more xD
google it
Never mind, just checked the merchant holding 20x flax barrels. Guess I'll take it 💀💀💀💀
thanks kiddo 😄
Ahoy sailors
Hands looked cool as hell but he was softer than a Taylor Swift lyric and got the business 😤
Hows everyone
Hellie yeaa we got a 10 sec delay noww
just had a utterly random thought. Found a patch of banana's and chilies together. now i want a spicy banana smoothie or something
omg u right, no waiting as long lets goooooooooooo. Love a decreased slowmode
I dunno what it is about this game. Maybe it came out at a bad time, but I can’t seem to get anyone to buy in on it. I been peddling Windrose to my friends and family like a door to door Solar salesman 
Yeaa bc im right the server is dying
I think it’s set for Halloween time frame
Kachow
Wusg
I think it's just the normal lifecycle of singleplayer/co-op games, initial bang, bleeding players until new content is released at which point people come back to check it out
U think so?
yeah I mean it's happened to all the games before it, doubly so since Windrose is in early access and it's easy to chew through all the content in short time
10 sec cooldown is only because 30 sec was a lot in the first place and things are finally calm enough post automod update that genchat can handle it
we've had no cooldown in other channels for ages, since folks can generally behave better in niche channels
Idc tbh. Their loss. Imma keep selling it to anybody who listens.
we should have lofi monke from pirate manga memes on bingo card
Gone, reduced to atoms
Lmfao I didn’t know u could be THAT far away and still blow them back like that
I did the same thing to a plague thrall yesterday
can blew enemies off the ship anytime and they'll drowed
like this but far away
The physics on this game can just crack me tf up. Like I’ll stab a pig sometimes and that mf will take air sometimes like I blunderbuss’d it
Smasher and Blunderbuss have knock them off
Crusher is different and it's downward knock
they just crumple under my executioner
i gotta say this game is great and im surprised over 2 millions copied. Creator are genius
i bet lot of 2 millions have blood of pirate
I'm surprised EA hasn't made a pirate game. They are very good at robbing people blind
yea i agree, thought i would try this after getting sick of 7dtd. well worth the change. playing solo now cause new to server
dam grass block my view when I look up and looking for Coconuts
What a coincidence i found that not long after you were talking about it lol
I've kept all my weapons, but recycled almost all of the armor I'm not actually wearing
no worries, you'll getting back and important is more room on slots
Dem ol' skellingtons got da goods!
When Galen says “I need more coffee to function properly.” That’s so valid
Anyone know why my WeMod isn't working against the bosses even though its activated?
you're not playing in Solo mode? it won't work on any other mode
4 parts sugar and 4 parts coffee is still too wrong. This archapelago took its recipes from Starbucks it seems
ahhh that will be it, thank you for clarifying - i'll switch to my solo!
I wish they added something like "ship parking".
Be a pirate. you dont need permission to park somewhere!
-_-
I want to kill redcoats, not blackbeard pirates!
well regular pirates have 3 enemies in my acknowledge... Blackbeard, British and i forgot another
Im sure another is from spanish
im bad at memories and still drinking Rums
soap
Anyone have reliable musket?
yes
Well, I mean, I've seen plenty of assumed content from the Ashlands...
Cool would you mind hopping on a server w me so I can learn it rq?
I can't right now but I'm sure there's someone here who can
Why are my settings always constantly changing when I reopen the game? Again, here we go. Is this a known bug or issue with the game? Tired of having to always bring my settings back to how I want them because the game keeps resetting. Nividia has no control over my settings
maybe because its a new game made by a really small team that develops super super slowly. give it time
This is the entire game 😂
Known bug I believe
yeah if you never ever used mods it must be some sorta bug, which in an EA game can happen ya know matey
for now....
My bad, are they going to make a small spot in the corner for ashlands with 3 small islands?
no idea in all honesty. We'll probably find out more after the summer.
They said our first expansion will be in the winter. That is December or later.
Wow, the islands are really, really small
I heard October as tentative schedule for Ashlands
Anyone have the reliable musket that can help me with the plans?
Do you think we’ll ever have islands this big someday
which area is the swamps?
How do i unlock the workstation to make my armor crafting workstation level 2
Check your build menu for a Sawhorse
I was looking for the armor and clothes one, but i just unlocked it so im good now
My bad, skimmed and just read workstation level 2 🤦♂️
Lol no worries man
Bruh ☠️
This random ship just crashed right into into an island so I thought wth and I jumped on and it's just neverending crew loool. At one point, the wheel was being captained by a ghost 😂
Too bad I couldn't raid this ship properly.
Theres no telling whats to be expected ot could be raining ash as we go into the Ashlands and id be expecting active volcanoes at least
Or maybe it'll be islands with lots of burned ground and trees so there's some early guesses
3k per shot, not bad.
against lvl 15
That’s just with iron bullets too.
With iron bullets id expect at least 3.5 if not 4k
I used all my arbor bullets before I boarded this boat. I couldn’t let them hit me either because my gear is still only level 8 💀
This character I really wanted to lean into guns and learn to not be booty cheeks at aiming
In the swamp there is 3 alter area need special tool does anyone know what is it ?!
Please, I have a problem. When I kill any monitor in the game, I get immediately kicked out, even though it's the original version and not a cracked one. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
there's a quest involved
I finish all the quest side and main
are you sure?
There is a place with the crocodiles on it in 3 places there is sacrifice alters asking for a special tool
Yeah if I done the side quest it should ask for any tools anymore cause I done the area but nope
you did Forgotten Relics?
hmm game could really use a explanation/tutorial on temporal health
yes
GG, killed the High Priestess :D
The side quest the 3 circle one right ? Yeah
Wait I will open the laptop better
hmm just so people know: 5 mastery= 2,3% critchance
now if i could get a privateer piece more= 12,3 instead
not sure if its worth it
it's always worth it
well right now i crit for 550ish, does'nt seem as much
this one
if i get a 4 piece set of flibustier i do 15% more with all attacks
that's not a quest. It's a part of a quest but the quest moves on to a different island after those are completed
i know i done that quest but there is something there need a tool
wait i will go there to take a photo
I've done those altars and I still have the quest
this is the one i'm taking about
I just told you I know those. I haven't finished the quest so I haven't found the tablets
Lord in heaven give us a crew mate or improved tanned station someday. Ts takes FOREVER to refine
lmao I thought you said "tanning station"
it's not that hard to upgrade i already max all to 15
you can just make like 3 and run 'em at the same time. That's what I do
I’ve got 6 going. It still takes a bit. It’s like the same speed or slower than the first metal smelter they let you build
what level of comfort u reach guys ?
35 is the max atm
anyone feeling generous and wanna donate me a copy of the game lol
i reach lvl 25 and i got bored to go more
It took me forever to get there because I was missing something from the swamp 😭
did u guys get this one ?
That was the last thing I was missing.
i got it from a map that u need to offer some stuff to statue as i remember
maybe those is the special thing i need i will try to use them
I feel like there's more than 4 but idk for sure
Yea it’s gotta be more like 7 maybe even 8
does they have any special places or ?
cause on my map it said i open all the unique locations explored
I think maybe 4 or 5. One island has plague crushers and there’s another island that’s like all crocodiles, pigs, and dodos (and crabs and drowned at night)
But they don’t have POIs. They’re just extra locations for doing farm stuff
oh ok
i was looking for special one maybe there is something i missed for that one i'm searching for
If you have all the unique explorations explored, you should be good unless you missed that crocodile island and that island with plague crushers. On my map I technically have a miniature island next door to the crocodile one. It’s super teeny tiny but it had tar trees and ruins on it.
My 11-15 has 6 islands with PoIs
those scam stuff still alive
<@&1354821664998817822>
this is without the quest overlays
you should have every one of these islands in different locations
are there any more elegant lighting options? i only have oil lamps and stuff.
yes
are they story locked?
here what i have
whats the trick to make ship dock same spot everytime on a pier
yeah and there is an area of the map if u go to it warning will appear to kill u hehe " i went there alreay "
Let's gooooooooooooo
nice
it was a bad idea when i hire those workers they keep rolling everywhere they are making me get crazy
Fala pessoal, boa noite! Tem algum BR ai que jogue par jogarmos junto? Me chama no pv!
I’m sorry bro, I suck and only speak English 
he is asking if any brazilian people play here which i don't know if there is
Let’s gooooo Captain Rosetta Stone!! We love it 🥰
Alright so how much in the grand scheme of things is 5.5k lol wondering how much more i should get before i start really getting into building
It's a decent amount but another of the Captains around here is literally a millionaire
Getting into building is a lot more dependent on guineas than piastre though
Well its a good thing ive never seen either of those things before lol
Eh? What do you have 5.5k of then?
maybe im late.. anyone having probs with game crashing/freezing alot lately?
nope
That's my swamp region. There's 8 islands for me that are swamp biome. The southern most one is two islands side by side.
5.5 of what ?silver coin u mean or ?
Oh my dumbass didnt say what i even have. I was talking about wood. Also just now looked at the names of both currencies
yeah i believe i have all of them
Right on!
5k you can do a lot a good work with that amount of wood.
and the zoom of the maps need to add something better to zoom in and out little not to much on the map
Yeah that's enough wood to build a decent structure. Supplement it with stone and plant fiber for more variety in parts
Ive got a fair bit less stone, but plenty of fiber so that wont be an issue
in the swamps u will get a lot of wood
How many different biomes are there?
3 for now
4th biome in November
5th biome implied to be coming after the 4th
i believe i use like 8k with my building
how much coin u got so far?
At what point should I upgrade to the brig?
Probably 94-96k of the piastres
Given how useful the brig is, as soon as you can make the materials
rich i have only 10k and 500 gold
asap - Brig is infinitely nicer than the Ketch
I think I only got 180 of the guinea 🥴
u can change silver to gold anyway
Helloo
it's better to go with the last one frigate if u reach swamp
any kiwis or aussies here
I haven't even gotten to the second biome yet. Beat the boss for the first but haven't made the journy yet. Still wandering around doing sidequests and exploring in first area for now
oh ok then go with brig u will need it on a lot of side quests fight with other ships
Any tips for starting off? I legit just got the game right now lol
XD I still have trouble with stuff like the drowned quest for tortuga and stuff.
Duality me too am playing solo atm
Hit the enemies more than they hit you
Take your time, you will die a lot. Blocking at the same time they attack is the best you can do. Learn to manage your stamina rather than going for 5 attack combos every time
Enjoy the growing pains tbh lmao. I was getting whooped so bad in the beginning but looking back that was a lot of the fun
Im going to load it up and get a feel, down to squad up later?
Got you lmfao
Thank you fam
Hopefully my dark souls experience can help me 😭
The combat does take after soulslike combat
It seems closest to bloodborne
are we going to need the insignia in the future ?
Insignia?
I know as much as you do, but it's very likely that Ashlands will include faction levels above 4, a new faction, or both
oh ok cause i got all at lvl 4 max in the remaining time
tbh I would personally not be offended if there were a mod that added some way of trading your insignias up
Convert many many stacks of green and blue and purple insignias into far fewer stacks of orange ones
Love me some bloodborne
well i'm not fighting too much on the sea before i just collect those on my way to islands but you have a point on selling them will be nice
meh... like 10%. It's not close in my eyes.
I just have a box of keys and a box of insignias.
if an enemy flashes red, get the hell out of the way
Be Prepared/Always Ready
I have so much of that stuff, I just drop it and use the shovel to destroy it
I just want to instantly but all the plans hoarding silver, gold, silver bars, gold bars and Tums
Wait is there a way to know what level I am (about) in terms of ship combat?
Cause I don't want to go somewhere I shouldnt (yet) and get sunk
im sure, it's scale with your character's lvl
It's the level of your ship gear, plus generally 1-5 ketch, 6-10 brig, 11-15 frigate.
if yer gear ain't maxed, be wary of anything over lvl 5
anyway you can upgrade ship's equipment
Ok so that means...
I'm half joking obv
I'm lvl 7ish I guess
Oh no I should be, I can't hit my shots for anything
What hull type and equipment are you using?
Only way I win battles is spamming heals
usually same lol, he who refuses to die wins
Base ketch, Base cannons lvl 2, whatever the hull is that makes healing uninteruptable lvl 5
keelhold hull
Yep. Oh and I just tried to get to the second biome, sunk before I'm in sight of it. I guess I'm going the rest of the way on the tiny ship
Ya. I was gonna check but just got sunk xd
boat
Personally, I'd suggest rebuilding as a Bretheren ketch, switching to devastating 12-pounders, and getting naval tactic #3.
brethren ships is Tank and slow
I think so. It scales as a percentage of total hull hp.
but those materials could be saved to make a brig after unlocking it!
So, more total hp means more healing.
i think so
Ye and I did just unlock the brig
just lacking in materials
Also definitely an option, brig is a big upgrade.
literally
there is 3 types of each size ships
blackbeardbrig is better on fights
it can hold 24 lbs cannons
Huh automod flagged my message is there a way to know what was the blocked word
I personally like Bretheren in ketch and brig sizes, but Blackbeard for the frigate. The first two are too squishy for me in BB, but the frigate has enough hp that the bigger guns are worth it.
Oh nvm found the word
blackbeard ships is fast, short cargo and more dmg
Brethren Ships is tank, more cargo and slow
regular Ships is stock and balance
aginest too much ships blackbeard is better and u can use the grog and the naval tacties with the 24 cannons
Aye
Can't ignore grog, true; you can use all 3 types simultaneously for hard fights.
i'm using blackbeard brig with 24 pounders cannon devastating and naval tecties III and grog is best mix
on hard mode... I rather go for Brethren Ships
i'm on normal mode 2nd one didn't go higher i wanna have fun i'n not challanging anyone
that's alright and it's your ways
anyway i need to go to pray ....happy Eid to u all here if u wanna about it 🙂
does darkness and fog affect agro range on ships?
nope
that would be swet if it did, sneaky sneaky
I had no clue cannons could damage drowned
and trees
:O I have to try that out
Absolute pain to get them to hit though.
Can someone help me with istael hands?
is there a thing like trade in game? like sell wood, metal or such, not the plunder
that is certainly a pfp of all time
breaks discord ToS yk
I'll never get tired of those visuals 
Where should i put suggestions? Just in game support?
Ye seek: https://windrose.support/ideas
Be sure to search first to see if what you're after is already there
wild effect probably not intentional but at some points it looks like your dude's eyes glow.
Perfect thanks i’ll be leaving some tomorrow
sword combat is making me so confused
i never know if an attack is gonna stun or not
yeah I have a picture from way back where there's literally light coming out of my dude's eyes
wish it was an actual intentional effect or something you could apply during character creation given your dude ||is supposed to be cursed ||
I'm assuming yours is supposed to have green eyes
yes. go's with my screen name.
I wonder what brown eyes look like when they're glowing
they prob don't glow well. ill check real quick.
Afternoon lads. Does anyone even play this game with motion blur
looks mha
question i am not british but i swear i head the song in the tavern in tortuga before you can faintly hear it
if i am not mistaken its a soccer team song or something
or its one of the shanties, i think i can make out " leave her" or something
maybe it's the voices in your head
which one? i have several
just wanna say if they ever make a paid dlc to get a parrot on my shoulder i am buying it if it comes with profanities
Trying to finish last quest I have for "Mystery of the Expedition" - Learn more about the expedition. I found grave and alfa Wolf, but that is all. Am I supposed to just go find islands that are not marked and look for more on this quest?
I wish I could play windrose😿
I have an amazing mod idea. Replace all the sea shanties with One Piece intro songs
When u go to the swamp u will find another mark for search inside a dead tree dig inside it u will find another dead body and that's the next step of the quest u will go to two more places and end the quest
G'morning, gents. How's your day?
For those who have finished the available content. Without spoilers. What have you been doing?
Building, raiding pirate ships, mining, more building, more raiding, demolishing and rebuilding, mining, raiding... I think that sums it up
building, fighting, testing new loadouts and builds, falling back to old builds, fighting some more... though I gotta say it's been 90% building. I love the look of this game so much, it's nice to just look at something I made 😄
Morning mate, all is well. Hows yours?
I am holding out hope we get an update within the next quarter. Haven't heard much but hoping!
I have finished my small port and dock and built an extra frigate but after about 80 hours im feeling pretty good about the game just wish there was more to do!
if i have a big blackbeard camp to clear can i use ship cannons?
Where would someone go to request a specific mod made? I would kill for a coin slot equipment slot!!
Yup. If its close enough to shore to use the ship's cannons. You can use them to help clear trees/shrubs too 🙂
Could try Nexus Mods ??
Ahh that's the ticket! Thank you
Marvelous, thank you! 🙂
Blast away. 
I don't think battery fire from ship cannons affects npcs lmao. I might be wrong cause i never tried it but it seems hella OP if that's the case
I have only ever heard of cannon fire affecting trees
I once went nuts on the tarwood for a bit, and when I went in to collect I found some croc bits. I'm not completely certain I didn't kill it with a full inventory previously, but I didn't remember doing so at the time.
falling trees can kill
Might've cut that many trees that they all fell on the croc and sustained some damage? hahaa I'm not entirely sure
ahhh, didn't factor tree damage. good point ye both
or your personal aura might've been that large that the crocs were just burning in your presence
Nawh, I'm sure it was the trees.
you CAN hit npc's in camps with cannon fire, but it takes time, you have to hit them directly it seems
surely someone can just test it out with some undead on the beach at night? I'm not in game at the moment so I can't do it m'self.
I can just imagine you with a crew of five more ships just surrounding an island in a circle with 36lb devastating cannons obliterating the literal atoms of the island
but why use your ships? work on perfecting dodge/dash and parries
on the other hand if they keep killing you...
i think it was more likely just to know if it was even possible, but at the same time, if you practice enough to get good at it so you hit first shot, rather than 1/6 shots, maybe then it would be worthwhile?
do better...
I don't care about efficient, I care about giving 'em the worst headache 😈
Sorry to dissapoint, but if you hit em in the head with a cannonball, chances are pretty good they aren't gonna have a headache. Or a head.
can confirm, i am now the headless shipman 🎃
hmm a 2 set bonus with privateer 10% crit chance) does that work on the bleed dot from rapier?
Its very hard to hit someone with cannons 😭
aye
I don't think bleed can crit from experience but I'm not 100% sure
Oh it does, drowned/pinchers and of course vegetation
bleeds are effected by damage bonuses though, so maybe? but im also unsure if they can crit.
don't think it works on the DOT, but can on the initial stick dmg
well anyway finally got my first set bonus on this so i'll take it for now
even came as a lvl 3
level 3 is terrible, I highly rcommend getting it to 5 asap, it helps sooooo much, noticing that now on my second playthrough
its very cheap to do
if its blue and you're wearing it, make it 5, even if it doesn't have the right set bonus you going for yet
now give me a thumps up if this is something you (with regret) have done: you open bench and want to upgrade a item, but instead you spam craft item, because you forgot to change to upgrade tab..
i did that once. Never again. Luckily i had my recycling table by then
The best suggestion to make anyone new/newer to the game - take your time!! (a) it's early access (b) farm pigs for armor upgrades / heck farm everything thru biome 1 then repeat in biome 2 - cuz max upgraded gear is important and once you start building....ya just can't stop lol. (c) find areas at sea with ships you can handle, farm em and board the haulers for more piastre + loot to sell for more coin - helps with materials needed for upgrading gear and or ship stuff. Again, take your time and enjoy. I'm currently working my 2nd toon/diff build type and plan to do a 3rd when I get there.
did a few tries to get the hang of it, then i started a new one. spent 10 hours or more and i just got to lvl 5
and with all those tries i have yet to see that rapier of thousand cuts
crappy green weapons
don't need that, lots of good blue weapons that you can make work, its rng what you get when though which I think is good for replayability
on this play i only got 2 blue ones sofar and i am not using any of them
blue is usually better than green though
cutlass and reliable blunderbuss. cutlas= hits stack up to 0 next shot deal 10% pr stack
im still on my first playthrough, almost done, just final boss left and a couple more comforts to collect, but in this run i didnt find the rapier of 1000 cuts until around midway through the foothills.
and i ended up barely using it because of that
reliable chance of knockdown
Make sure you're spec'ing agility in your progression and slash in your talents
not using them
green saber and a pistol, but found a green rapier so i might go green rapier and green pistol in offhand then its all pierce
The blunderbuss basically made 1st boss cry after 1st 1400pt hit and then melt with a 3k hit that ended the fight
||just got the first 2 marks for that boss||
Always remember the chart, it helps alot. When an NPC's level exceeds your weapon or item level, your damage output scales downward on a logarithmic curve with diminishing returns:1 Level Discrepancy: (\approx 15%) damage reduction2 Levels Discrepancy: (\approx 25%) damage reduction3 Levels Discrepancy: (\approx 32%) damage reduction4+ Levels Discrepancy: Dwindles further in the same pattern.
its why everyone always recommends that you have the highest level of item for everything that you're using
thats what they said...
Greatsword blunderbass is an amazing combination
Guys, help
I accidentally the whole starting island
Guys how do i get good at building
Trial and error
or
Learning from the masters
just build and let ur imagination go wild 😄
How do I learn from the masters
By observing #🎨│creative
Ok
Should I buy this game on Epic or Steam, I can save 5 euro on Epic
They should add a Fear mechanic for enemy ships of a much lower level than you are
Personally I prefer the Steam launcher, but you do what you want
steam had a 10 year head start, and is more refined cause of that imo
Steam is more refined because it is designed by an actual gamer
Steam UI is so much better imo
it could use an update to its player search tbh
Steam.
Epic likes to take your license to play away randomly for no reason I have had to rebuy 3 games so far on epic because of that and will forever crap on them because of it. 😂
I only use epic for the free games that they give away
^
ty epic for the entire Batman Arkham series
Same. I lost my license to LOTR: Return To Moria before it got released on the Steam platform
Nah they are already much weaker anyways
Thats why Epic tried to sue Steam lol
Epic tried to Sue steam because they were paid to try to sue steam
Epic tries to
Sue everyone
Steam > Every other gaming platform
same with New York tryying to sue steam, and with EU trying to sue steam
Sounds like Nintendo XD
A much trashier Nintendo 😂
lmao!
Wait what, when?
Nintendo is the trashiest game company, they make more money through litigation than game sales
Its random
Whenever they decide to
They took mine away twice for the same game, in a row
Steam all the way
I miss physical copies of games 
You can literally buy a game on there play it for a hour then go eat come back and oh hey rebuy it 🙄
Steam Support is amazing, I lost access to my email 1 time and I wanted to change my email and could not log into my account and within the day they helped me out
Im so glad Nintendo lost alot of their fights against Palworld... it was so satisfying
Good old days
Steam support and security is by far one of the best ive ever dealth with
Facts
Nintendo lost almost all of their fights against Pocketpair, Palworld only changed some aspects because they didnt want to deal with Nintendos whining, then Japan was like "Hey Nintendo....didnt you rip off everything about Dragon Quest Monsters to make Pokemon?"
Kudos to Pocketpair for not backing down either
People make skits of them taking life insurance policies out on scam centers and it’s mint 😂
You grew up thinking Nintendo was the best game company ever.... then you became an Adult and saw them for the evil bastards they truely are
I support the idea of "the better product wins" idc about intellectual property as a consumer 
Nintendo originally started off as Love Hotels and adult card traders
Yeah and Sega started off as a Pinball game manufacturing company

I need me some og Pokémon games fr tho
Play palworld it's the best Pokemon game 
Uhhh
Windrose card game, you combine 2 coastal Dodos and make 1 Azure dodo
Played it too much now
Or two boars to get a one star Savage Boar
That's 1 boar and 1 charging boar
I still love pokemon (except Scarlet and Violet) have yet to play Palworld
I HATE the charger
Trap card "game review" takes 3 points of your score

Bruh I sail to the first island after the spawn one and got slapped by a 1 star savage boar and my controller went flying into the wall 😂
you can dodge through it 😉
Reviews look great @rigid rapids 
I am utter garbage at timing my dodges
Nahhh
Parry then
Not a masterpiece like mixtape smh
The amount I have died so far is insane
I cant play until they fix the memory leak issue, I hate crashing out of nowhere.
lmaooo im crap at those too. Im just here for the pirate theme and building my lil city
thats not that bad, i had 17 on the starter island at one point 😄
I have deleted most of the markers…..
Windrose has way more and better steam reviews than Mixtape, the game critics should not exist imo, only player reviews should
I embraced the skill issue and went for gun spec 
Then get a weapon that has a lot of posture points and upgrade those instead and go full block mode
SAAAME. I went FULL plague AOE build
They can't hit me if I run away is the way of the skill issue
I am not having any issues, idk
Plague Halberd, Plague Pistol and Rapier of Devastation equals healing plus giga chad damage
They can't hit me if I kill them before they even try to hit me💪
You get it
Yes with my greatsword 💪

Dodging crocodiles....
Not sure what the cause is, I can only guess that its all about PC configuration.
Parrying crocodiles is so easy
Maybe lower the graphics settings idk, you can chat here if you need any help https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1493764667074412797
The first time i encountered a plague crocodile, it jumpscared the crap outta me
so is stunning them with headshots
What exactly are you experiencing I have performance drops when I get in base but in general I run smooth for hours on end
My first real jumpscare was the charge board then the alpha wolves ironically I had no issue with the goats
Yeah sent a support ticket back on the 11th, recieved no help since then, and I have gotten nothing but the same AI generated YT Video responses "adjust graphics settings, -dx12 in steam, update drivers, blah blah blah" makes me want to just nuke the planet at this point
Damm, I am sorry you are having a rough time
I even fresh installed Windows
Same, the goats are just more annoying than anything. their charge has a longer range than even the boars
What CPU and GPU do you have?
RTX 4070 Super, Ryzen 7 7800X3D
I hate the alpha wolves with passion
Wow yeah, that's unfortunate, better than mine and it runs fine for me
I had no issue with them because for some reason they are alot easier to predict.... The problem was the wolves because there is no real difference in animation for the regular jump atk and the red flash atk
Vsynch was better for me On for some reason
I looked at the R5 errors in the logs and its all UR5 errors and Memory issues.
Im playing on an RTX 3060 with not too many problems. I just cant play on Epic graphic settings very well
Do you have any issues with any other games/applications?
no issues in anything else
48gb of ram, tho not sure how pertinent that is
Not even remotely, this game would run fine with 16gb most likely
yeah i figured that
Btw what resolution is your screen?
I'm doing fine with 16
Right I figured
3440 x 1440 Ultrawide
Is that currently supported by the game?
It is I have the same scale
yeah....its in the settings
at the moment yes, but i think they plan for it to require more without page file usage which can cause crahses, cause windows.
Dang, thats nice. Im still sitting at 2560 x 1080
Never buy an ultra wide it's not worth the headache
Good thing I don't run Windows
Although I do have 32gb anyway
Im using the Sceptre C30 curved
And you've reinstalled the Nvidia app?
He did a fresh windows install 
Reinstalled Windows completely, reinstalled Nvidia App and updated Drivers
God, I hate that it's called that now. GeForce Experience was so much better
Same
I never use the App, I use the Nvidia Control Panel
I also use the control panel for most everything
So you download the driver directly from nvidia's site and install manually?
for the driver I DL it from the app since it auto detects,
thats the standard these days imo, windows uses 4-6 and games require 16 etc.
Oh ok
Windows is so bloated
Just throwing it out there do you have resizable bar enabled in the bios?
The more ram you have, the more ram Windows will use
Lol just turn off vsync, jk
I have 32, and Windows uses 20
thats a you thing if windows is sucking up 20gig of ram
it backloads all of your recent apps that you open into your ram
and sometimes it refuses to flush unused data
which is an issue that a lot of people have been complaining to Microslop about (and one of the main reasons they switch to Linux)
That really depends on how you configure your pf
Linux ftwww
when I can run EXE files natively w/o a compatability layer, I'll consider switching
Hi is reputation character bound of map file bound?
I was debating if I should switch to Linux but there isn't any real alternative for CAD software on Linux 
Im at 48gb ram, but my Windows has never gone above 15ish used. weird
Map
Do you have any idea how much money Valve has poured into the Proton project and how good it is now?
How would I know if I am not a Linux user?
Because you can read about it, google is a thing
How did you even understand the question 
Thanks!
One of the best things ever, Steam Deck normalising Linux compatibility
Why would I read about Linux if I am a Windows user?
Because you're aware of how bad Windows is and why people are switching to Linux. Also, Windrose runs perfectly for me on a 5800x with a 4070 Ti on Linux. Never had a single issue on max settings.
True, a hungry man should never look at a menu
I guess im lucky with bare bones win 10, never seen it go higher without launhcing games or streaming tv in browsers. 😄
Which distro you running?
Hello, everyone! I just joined though I don't usually join game servers like this, but I've been enjoying Windrose so much that I couldn't help myself and wanted to stay up to date with and new developments.
Ive never used linux before
I debloated my windows and turned off all telemetry, I have no real issues with it
Nobara which is a fork of Fedora specifically configured by GE for gaming
Welcome, grab a chair and yap with peeps
substituted of with or (cause typos)
IMO so far, Windrose is the be all end all of Pirate games thus far!
A lot of the issues that I hear people have about it, I have slmost none, other than it's memory hogging problem.
No issues, right, which is why you're in here asking for help with a problem with Windrose
I am asking about the known memory leak
Black Flag can suck it!
I'll put that under my hat 😎
Welcome aboard to the off-topic windrose chat ignore #🎭│offtopic there you see only windrose chatters
Yup the memory leak which I never had an issue with on Linux...
It's opposite day already? 
Yes switch my whole OS because of an issue I have with an early access game, makes so much sense
Well you gotta admit that there's more windrose talk in offtopic than here 
Did I say that? Are you playing with a jump-to-conclusions mat?
i can say the same for me on windows...
Maybe just wait till they come out with another optimization patch? although im not sure when thatll be
You literally went on about how you have no problems with Windrose on Linux
Yeah and? I'm flexing.
That's not a flex lol
They're probably gonna roll it out when they release the new zone.
kinda is though
pretty sure its not
You've been pulled into the whirlpool of Linux flexing and rotten pistachio grandpa bait
The new zone wont be out for another several months. Their roadmap says theyre gonna release a whole bunch of fixes before then
Where can I see the roadmap
Ahhh. Didn't know that
not out yet, been worked on
I love the irony of flexing on someone about Linux and calling them a nerd XD
It should be under the devs notes on their page in steam
or you can just type into google Windrose Roadmap and the steam link should pop up
alright
Quick question though
Im so ready for Ashlands to get here
Calling someone a nerd already showcases your old timer dictionary 
Back in my day people used to call you a nerd if you played video games!
The word nerd has no age
Is it alright to post artwork in #🎨│creative as long as it's pirate related or only Windrose related?
Maybe stick with Windrose at first and then feel the community out
Pffft, playing DND made you a nerd back in my days 😎
Thanks for the heads up!
nothing AI generated i know that much
About the same time dinosaurs went extinct... A walking talking fossil everyone 
TBF DND still kinda makes you a nerd but people respect it now, which is awesome
being a tiny piece of candy is a nerd
Just reminds me of that Brickleberry episode
Oh, of course! I usually have an artist friend of mine that I pay
Legends of Avantris all the way!!!
DND is too mainstream now, I only play Stormbringer 1st edition 
Its why i was called a nerd in school, oh and i supose chess club didnt help either 😄
Have you seen The Legend of Vox Machina?
...Todd Howard?
You dork
Tbh I feel like it becomes more performative than anything being a "DND player" but having no real friends to play if you know what I mean
No 😔
dweeb?
It's so good! It's a cartoon/anime based on Critical Role's DND campaigns
pretty sure we're all dweebs if we're here
Oh, that's why it sounded familiar! I love the fact that the early Dragonlance books were based on the play sessions of a group and evolved from there 😌
Yay!
Anyways! Glad I made it in and looking forward to chatting more with y'all. I gotta hit the sack. Goodnight!
Nini! 
Yeah it's seriously fantastic! I've watched it like 3 times already lol
They apparently removed the stinky person from the animation?
good read those books imo, find the FR ones have better stories though
Drizzt Do Urden
The Drizzt ones are amazing
I f*****g love R.A. Salvatore
I think you're right
I liked his stuff so much I played Kingdoms of Amalur
they are, all Salvatore's books are so good
OMG I HAVE IT!!
Cadderly stories were awesome too
I love all of you nerds
So, how long until a mod comes and ruins our fun? 
I dont care if Kingdoms of Amalur: Re Reckoning has potato graphics, ill still play the crap out of it
when she wakes up 😄
I also have it. I'll need to replay it
Modder? I hardly know her!
Oh, btw, you ever read Order of the Stick?
Nope
Big recommend for any DND nerd
was ment to be an MMO too 😉
I recommend watching Legends Of Avantris for DND comedy
Sounds cool, I'll check it out
Chuckles
Bitsy is so much better
A webcomic about dungeon crawling, been going on for like 20ish years now
apparently it will end soonish, in the next year or so
omg, i only JUST figured out you can have more than one merchant stall instead of having to wait the full 70 minutes to order a new material....
Yep. Merchant city
Btw is the pirate against pirate abbreviation still denied 
Been watching emmm 😂
I legit have 8 material shops in my base 
Their shorts are my anti depressants
I like the somthing-doodles I forget how it was spelled
welp, i just added 9 more merchants.... and now im out of Piastres
Wait, they blacklisted player versus player?
Check the pins
Yeah I guess ppl went too far
There's two of them to read
lul
lmao, even
It was effective at what they wanted to accomplish, at least
To weed out all discussion about it?
Yes, because there's nothing left to discuss
"Discord mods ruined Windrose"
Reddit 2026
Every possible thing to say has been said several times
TBH im happy they arent adding that feature. I hate competing in that aspect. especially in a survival game
Eh, I wouldn't mind having the toggle option like 7DTD does it
I want more build pieces added
"Functional island cannons"
i guess thats true. 7D2D is my most played game on steam currently and i cant tell you how many times I killed my sister while playing just to get a laugh
Is there a stone staircase railing that I haven't found yet, or does that go on the list of things that need adding?
There is not one yet that i know of
Yep. Also my most played game is Sea of Thieves, so I get my pirate against pirate action there mostly
I'd like to have brass good or silver decorations also give me the opportunity to paint everything black to force the gothic vibes
Mmmm goth boots
I went for the rich boy mansion
always a good choice
welp, mine looks like poop now lmao
I spent 60+ hrs on this thing bruh 
NGL that does slap hard
jeebus, i only JUST broke 75 hours total in game...
I'm jealous, that looks so good
Also hi, I just joined, started playing windrose two days ago
Time to flex cuz #🎨│creative makes me feel inadequate 
WHY DO YOU HAVE A BANQUET HALL?
I have an outdoor seating area.... does that count?
Cuz I made a big house and was lazy to add clutter 
Hi henlo welcome! 
I made a two story house yesterday and it looks awful compared to what you guys have 😂
😡
Add more seatings with tables, NOW
Hi hi
Funny enough I'm more proud of the pier than anything else in my build
I am quite proud of the inside of my tavern tho
That does look comfy as hell!
I by far spent the most time of my building time doing the interior of this place
Got the mountain refuge vibe idk the proper name in english
I'm working towards getting a frigate now, before I focus on building other stuff
Cabin?
Yeah beat the second boss get the frigate to farm coins and get more shops for big builds
Ive got the Brethren Frigate, by far the best choice ive made
Tnx it was genuinely driving me insane cuz I couldn't remember the word 
Its slow AF but tanky as hell
Yeah I'm trying to buy the blueprint for it, but 3000 silver is crazy
lmao no worries, everyones got those moments
The fun way to play is just build a bit until you unlock everything and then make your grand pirate hideout somewhere in the middle of the map. That's my plan, at least 
Honestly for me, the money was the easiest part, it was the INSANE amount of materials that suuuuuucked
I have level 3 reputation with those guys that sell the frigate blueprint
You got the brig right?
Boarding the ships that have a golden chest icon grants extra silver
Just be warned though, you wont be able to build the frigate until youve gotten to the last area
I spent like 5 hours yesterday building my house, it's nothing fancy, but I have a balcony overlooking my ship 😂
theres certain materials that can ONLY be found there that you need
I find materials pretty easy to get, wood at least, you get loads of wood just by looting those barrels you see in the water, and plant fiber too, but stone is a bit difficult
what level are you?
I got the ketch, I don't know what type of ship that is now
I made a humble bachelor pad on my starter island with some accomodations for the workers in another house, it's comfy with it's massive lighthouse 
Plenty of stone in Foothills
I usually just sink those and loot them 😂
Do you want some tips or u wanna play at ur own pace both options are respectable
Buy the brig before you buy the frigate plans
your losing out on 75% of the loot that way
I'm level 3
No, youve GOTTA board the gold ships, its so worth the extra time
Yeah I'd like some tips for sure
Lads chill don't flood the lad with unwanted advice 
I wont give any spoilers, but you wont be able to build the frigate until youre at LEAST level 12 or 13 depending on your difficulty
New game Windrose in a nutshell right here
The main reason I don't board ships is because my boarding crew level is too low, my hull is level 5, canons level 4 and my crew is level 2 😂
0 chill 
Dammit, well I have 3 days off now so I will grind for sure, I'm nearly level 4 now, I play on normal difficulty
i seem to do just fine with a lvl 5 boarding crew, although my character kinda makes up for that fact...
I boarded once and died instantly
Loot Goblin mode, activate
Oh I loot everything
Go on a few mining trips, you wont know what to do with all the stone you find.
1 - gear level is more important than character lvl if you want to fight higher lvl enemies you need to increase ur weapon lvl
2 - set bell waypoints to resource islands that contain copper (later iron)
3 - don't invest into green gear besides the crew gear because there isn't a higher rarity variant
4 - try every weapon type to find your preferred playstyle and don't get dragged by tierlists it's more fun that way
5 - I recommend progressing the main story line and forcing weapon upgrades until you best the second boss to unlock the majority of the recipes and blueprints and then slowing down and playing for fun (that's purely subjective)
I did that, the island I'm on has a copper mine, or at least it had, because I mined everything from it 😂
Now wait 6 hours. Then it fills back up.
one more thing, only QUESTS and POI completions give you exp!!
I've been doing that, have bells set in islands I visit the most for mining mostly and my island where my camp is, my sword is level 4 or 5 I think, I have a dual shot pistol, that I haven't upgraded yet, I don't have many rare gear really, most of it is green
youre really gonna wanna upgrade your gear first and foremost
youll get the most out of your level that way
To get ship gear you visit the buccaneers and smugglers
Character armor is good to have and you can buy set pieces from the factions but they are not that important imo
As for weapons you need to explore and open chests (or ask someone to give you a copy to touch and learn how to make)
Well I think I have 2 quests active atm, I need to craft a melee weapon and go to Captain Richard's camp, but that has level 9 recommendation
focus on exploration and completing points of interest then to up your level fairly quickly
