36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered

36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered is a 36-pound ship cannon, the Rare-rarity modded variant that ascends to Epic. Set out and kept in proper order, these guns cycle cleanly once engaged, answering shot with shot as their motion settles into rhythm.

A well-timed broadside settles many arguments.

Overview

In-Game Effect

Rare tier: After reloading, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds increases reloading speed by 30% for 22 seconds.

Epic tier: After reloading, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds increases reloading speed by 30% for 22 seconds. Aiming speed increased by 30%.

Fits Ships

36-pound cannons are the heaviest caliber in the game and only one hull can carry them. The Blackbeard Frigate can replace its default 24-pound guns with 36-pound guns for maximum per-volley damage at the cost of reload speed. Compatible hulls:

• Blackbeard Frigate

How to Unlock

Crafting 36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered requires learning Plans: Perfectly Ordered 36-Pounders, a Rare recipe paper bought from the Rogue Buccaneers Provisioner once your Rogue Buccaneers reputation reaches Level 4. The plan costs Piastre x500 and is consumed on use; one copy unlocks the recipe permanently.

Crafting Recipes

36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered is crafted at the Shipwright's Workshop. Each station tier accepts higher-grade metals and planks, letting you re-craft this gun with whichever material pipeline your base currently supports.

Ascend to Epic

The Rare version of 36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered can be ascended to Epic rarity at the Shipwright's Workshop by combining the base Rare cannon with Tumbaga Ingot. 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.

Ascend recipe: Tumbaga Ingot x9 + 36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Rare) x1 to 36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Epic) x1

Epic-only bonus: Aiming speed increased by 30%.

When to Use

Best on the Blackbeard Frigate, which is the only hull in the game that can mount 36-pound cannons. The Epic tier adds a 30% aiming-speed bonus, which further shrinks the window needed to land each follow-up hit.

Rare vs Epic Comparison

The 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.

When the Upgrade is Worth It

Perfectly 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.

When to Skip the Ascension

Ascending is not always the right call. The Rare tier is already strong in isolation, and each ascension burns Tumbaga Ingot x9 for a single cannon slot. If you are still climbing the Shipwright's Workshop tier ladder, if your Blackbeard Frigate 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.
