Crafting Recipes
Hull Bracing: Keelhold 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 | Hull bracing: Keelhold x1 | 1s (60/min) | |
Level 1 | Hull bracing: Keelhold x1 | 1s (60/min) | |
Level 1 | Hull bracing: Keelhold x1 | 1s (60/min) |
When to Use
Keelhold bracing protects repair-kit duration from combat damage. In 1v2 or 1v3 fleet fights, repair uptime is the limiting factor, so Keelhold shines there. Less useful in 1v1 against a fast raider who forces short-burst engagements.
The Epic (Ascended) tier is crafted from the base Rare bracing plus additional Tumbaga Ingot. It upgrades the effect magnitude and applies a small armor bonus that kicks in during sustained engagements. Used by endgame crews running fleet-level content.
