Combat Repair Kit is the mid-tier ship repair consumable in Windrose, a Rare-rarity upgrade over the basic Repair Kit that allows the player to patch hull damage while still under fire. Taking damage during the repair shortens the effect duration but does not cancel it outright, which makes this the default naval-combat item for any serious engagement.
"Everything needed to patch up a ship and keep fighting. Includes tools, materials, and strong spirits for cleaning wounds and steadying the hands of those making repairs at the worst possible moment."
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Rarity | Rare |
Effect | Restores ship hull health during combat; taking damage shortens the duration |
Trade price |
Station | Ingredients | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
5 Wooden Planks + 1 Rum Bottle + 1 Steel Nails | 10 seconds |
Steel Nails are the bottleneck for low-level smiths; Wooden Planks and Rum are abundant once the player has a Sawmill and a Tortuga trade route. The item was buffed from Uncommon to Rare rarity in version 0.10.0.0.277-5, which is why some older community guides still list the previous rarity.
Repair Kits - all three repair kit tiers
Repair Kit - Uncommon out-of-combat baseline
Master Combat Repair Kit - Epic upgrade tier
Rum Bottle - ingredient shared with the Master tier
Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
Tier | Rare |
Effect | Repairs the ship under fire. Incoming damage reduces the effective repair duration rather than fully interrupting it. |
Category | Ship consumable |
Item | Tier | Combat Use? |
|---|---|---|
Uncommon | No; interrupts on hit | |
Rare | Yes; duration scales down with damage | |
Epic | Yes; improved HP per tick and resilience |
Coastal Jungle to Foothills sailing: Repair Kit suffices between ports.
Active naval engagements: Combat or Master Combat variants only; standard Repair Kits interrupt under fire.
Boss-phase ship-to-ship fights: stock Master Combat Repair Kits and use them between broadsides.
The Combat Repair Kit restores roughly 30% of the ship's maximum hull health across a 10-second application window. Incoming damage during the window does not cancel the effect (that behavior belongs to the basic Repair Kit), but it does shorten the effective duration, so a kit activated while under sustained fire delivers less than the full 30% because the tail of the tick rate gets clipped. The practical implication is that activating the kit between broadside exchanges, not during them, returns the largest percentage of hull health per kit consumed.
Hotbar slotting: most captains keep at least four Combat Repair Kits in the ship's action panel for a single serious engagement. Fewer than two in the slot is usually insufficient for a frigate-class fight, because even with damage-resistant ticks the kit cannot keep up with sustained cannon fire from multiple attackers. Rum Bottles (a required ingredient) are also consumed by the Homeward Journey alchemy potion, so factor both consumption chains into the Rum reserve when running crafting batches.
