Ship Customization is a game feature which allows players to customize their own ships. Players may do this by visiting any shipwright and choosing the "Upgrade" option, then choosing a ship to upgrade. Ships can have visually customizable hulls, rigging, sails, emblems, and special broadsides (hull ranks 4-6 only). Only Medium and War Class Ships are able to be customized. Light Class Ships and Ships of the Line are unable to be customized.
The following features are customizable/upgradable; however, all of them will cost gold and some of them will cost some Ship Materials as well.
Sail Colors[]
Players may change the color of a ship's sails by choosing from a variety of color options. Cost to change colors range from 1 to 10,000 gold.
The price does NOT depend on ship class.
