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:

How to Unlock

Crafting 36-Pounders: Tempered requires learning Plans: Tempered 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: Tempered 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.

Station Tier	Ingredients	Output	Craft Time
Level 1	Copper Ingot x20, Wooden Plank x10	36-Pounders: Tempered x1	1s (60/min)
Level 6	Foothills Iron Ingot x20, Timber x8, Shipwright's Tools x4	36-Pounders: Tempered x1	1s (60/min)
Level 11	Mire Metal Ingot x20, Tarred Planks x10, Shipwright's Tools x4	36-Pounders: Tempered x1	1s (60/min)

Ascend to Epic

The Rare version of 36-Pounders: Tempered 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: Tempered (Rare) x1 → 36-Pounders: Tempered (Epic) x1

Epic-only bonus: Hitting a Weak Spot deals 20% bonus Damage.

When to Use

Tempered cannons reward disciplined crews who can hold their broadsides for 6 seconds after every reload before firing. Best when you commit to staying at range and pick your volleys, not when you plan to skirmish in and out at close range. The Epic tier layers on a 20% Weak Spot damage bonus, which stacks with the base delay buff to turn well-aimed volleys into the burstiest cannon profile in the game.
