May 22, 2026, 08:38 AM
Fixed a truncated word in the When to Use section, rewrote the garbled unlock note into clear prose, and added a Caliber Role section comparing the 36-pound class against the 24-po

1136-Pounders is a 36-pound ship cannon, the baseline Uncommon variant. Massive cannons built to deliver crushing blows. Reserved for ships capable of bearing its weight and recoil.33Let the heavy guns speak.55Overview77PropertyValueCategoryShip WeaponRarityUncommonCaliber36 poundsATK (Max)380Damage (Max)2500Reload Time14sRange RankAAccuracy RankBMax Item Level15Stack Size199Fits Ships101036-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:1212Blackbeard Frigate1414Caliber Role1616At 2500 damage per volley, the 36-pound class is the hardest-hitting Cannons caliber in the game, ahead of the 2000 damage 24-Pounders and the 1500 damage 12-pound guns. That power comes with the slowest baseline reload at 14 seconds and the steepest material cost, and only the Blackbeard Frigate has slots that accept it. The trade is straightforward: you give up rate of fire and flexibility for the largest single broadside available, which suits sustained hits against high-HP targets where each volley matters more than how often you fire.1818This baseline Uncommon gun carries no special effect. If you want an on-hit bonus on top of the 36-pound caliber, the modded lines layer one over the same damage figure: 36-Pounders: Tempered trades reload for a delayed damage spike and is the only variant that reaches S rank in both range and accuracy, 36-Pounders: Devastating stacks a damage-taken debuff on the target, and 36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered rewards landing hits soon after reloading with a rolling reload-speed buff. All of them ascend from Rare to Epic with Tumbaga Ingot.2020Crafting Recipes222236-Pounders is crafted at the Shipwright's Workshop.

It trades mechanical effect for raw availability, which matters when you need to re-arm mid-campaign or outfit a new hull quickly before hunting down higher-tier plans.2929See Also3131Cannons: 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 tactics36-Pounders: Tempered: related variant36-Pounders: Devastating: related variant36-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered: related variant3333Details3535Crafted By3737Crafted at: Shipwright's Workshop3939IngredientQuantityCopper Ingotx20Woodx204141Unlocked By4242Unlocked through the Foothills discovery that grants iron tools, crafting-station upgrades, and larger ship cannons.
