April 17, 2026 at 06:34 PM
12-Pounders: Tempered is a 12-pound ship cannon, a Rare-rarity modded variant that requires a Plans paper to unlock the recipe. Forged and handled with restraint, these guns are meant to be fired with deliberation, not haste. Every ship class can mount 12-pound guns in at least one slot, making this caliber the universal fallback for early crews.

12-Pounders: Tempered can be crafted through the following recipes at the Shipwright's Workshop. Each tier uses progressively higher-quality metals and planks so higher-level stations unlock better material pipelines for the same ship weapon.
Station Tier | Ingredients | Output | Craft Time |
|---|---|---|---|
Level 1 | Copper Ingot x10, Wooden Plank x5 | 12-Pounders: Tempered x1 | 1s (60/min) |
Level 6 | Foothills Iron Ingot x10, Timber x4, Shipwright's Tools x2 | 12-Pounders: Tempered x1 | 1s (60/min) |
Level 11 | Mire Metal Ingot x10, Tarred Planks x5, Shipwright's Tools x2 | 12-Pounders: Tempered x1 | 1s (60/min) |
Tempered cannons reward disciplined crews who can hold their broadsides for 6 seconds after reload. Run them on ships you intend to stay at range and pick your volleys with, not on skirmishers. Pairs naturally with Naval Tactics I: Ambush for patient burst opens.
