Set out and kept in proper order, these guns cycle cleanly once engaged, answering shot with shot as their motion settles into rhythm.3344A well-timed broadside settles many arguments.5566Overview7788PropertyValueCategoryShip WeaponRarityRareCaliber12 poundsATK (Max)380Damage (Max)1500Reload Time13sRange RankBAccuracy RankBMax Item Level15Stack Size1ModificationPerfectly OrderedAvailable RaritiesRare, Epic (via Ascend)99In-Game Effect10101111Rare tier: After reloading, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds increases reloading speed by 30% for 22 seconds.12121313Epic tier: After reloading, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds increases reloading speed by 30% for 22 seconds.

Ascending keeps the Rare-tier effect and layers an extra Epic-only bonus on top so the Epic cannon is strictly better once you can afford the Tumbaga cost.333334-Ascend recipe: Tumbaga Ingot x7 + 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Rare) x1 → 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Epic) x134+Ascend recipe: Tumbaga Ingot x7 + 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Rare) x1 to 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Epic) x135353636Epic-only bonus: Aiming speed increased by 30%.37373838When to Use39394040Perfectly Ordered cannons reward steady accuracy. Each hit within four seconds of a reload extends a 30% reload-speed buff, which can be maintained with consistent gunnery to create a rolling rapid-fire cadence. Best on hulls that can tank return fire without dropping aim, like the Brig or Frigate. The Epic tier adds a 30% aiming-speed bonus, which further shrinks the window needed to land each follow-up hit.41414242Rare vs Epic Comparison43434444StatRareEpicATK (Max)380380Damage (Max)15001500Reload Time13s13sRange RankBBAccuracy RankBBMax Item Level1515Base EffectAfter reloading, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds increases reloading speed by 30% for 22 seconds.After reloading, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds increases reloading speed by 30% for 22 seconds.Extra Epic BonusNoneAiming speed increased by 30%.4545The raw numbers do not change on ascension; the ATK, Damage, Reload, Range, and Accuracy values are all inherited from the Rare input. The only difference is the added Epic-only layer, which stacks with the Rare-tier effect rather than replacing it.46464747When the Upgrade is Worth It48484949Perfectly Ordered Epic adds a flat +30% aiming speed, which shortens the window needed to land the next hit and extend the rolling +30% reload buff. On rangy hulls the Epic tier is noticeably easier to maintain cadence with. Pair with Naval Tactics IV: Shipshape to squeeze the most value out of the upgraded cannon battery.50505151When to Skip the Ascension52525353Ascending is not always the right call. The Rare tier is already strong in isolation, and each ascension burns Tumbaga Ingot x7 for a single cannon slot. If you are still climbing the Shipwright's Workshop tier ladder, if your Brig is not yet Item Level 15, or if you are rotating between playstyles that favor different modification lines, it is often smarter to keep the Rare cannon and spend your Tumbaga on something else first. The ascension is a one-way upgrade, but the cost also rises quickly if you change your mind about which variant you want on a given hull.54545555Effect56565757PropertyValueBase caliber12-pounderSpecial effectAfter the ship fires these cannons, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds grants +30% reload speed for 22 secondsBuff stackingThe 30% reload speed buff can be maintained by continuous hits, creating a rolling rapid-fire cadence5858The effect rewards sustained aggressive gunnery. In 1v1 ship fights, connecting consecutive volleys turns Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders into one of the fastest-firing cannon options in the game. In 1v2 fleet engagements, the buff extends through cross-ship shots, so focusing one target with back-to-back hits extends the cadence while still contributing damage to both enemies.59596060How to Acquire61616262Reach Rank 2 with the Rogue Buccaneers through Insia turn-ins and Letters of Favor, then purchase the plan at the Provisioner for 300 Piastres. Once plans are owned, the cannon itself is crafted at the Shipwright's Workshop using standard cannon materials (Copper Ingots, Wood, plus the specialty components on the plan).63636464Strategic Value65656666Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders are widely considered a must-buy for Brig and Frigate owners who plan to run naval content. The 30% reload speed buff compounds with other ship-loadout choices (Naval Tactics, Hull Bracing, Boarding Party Gear) to turn a large ship into a continuous firing platform rather than a volley-based one.67676868See Also69697070Cannons: full roster of every ship-weapon variantNaval Combat: how cannons resolve damageShipwright's Workshop: primary crafting stationShip Customization: pairing cannons with hull, hull mods, and naval tactics12-Pounders: related variant12-Pounders: Tempered: related variant12-Pounders: Devastating: related variantPlans: Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders: recipe paper that unlocks this cannon71717272Details73737474Properties75757676PropertyValueAvailable RaritiesRare, Epic7777Crafted By78787979Crafted at: Shipwright's Workshop80808181IngredientQuantityCopper Ingotx10Wooden Plankx58282Ascend Cost83838484Ascend at: Shipwright's Workshop85858686IngredientQuantity12-Pounders: Perfectly Orderedx1Tumbaga Ingotx78787Fits Ships88888989ShipBlackbeard BrigBlackbeard FrigateBlackbeard KetchBrethren BrigBrethren FrigateBrethren KetchBrigFrigateKetch9090Taught By91919292PlanPlans: Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders
