Revision 8

Improved Shipwright's Tools is an Epic-rarity vendor-only resource in Windrose. It unlocks the Epic tier of its associated crafting tree. Required for crafting high-quality cannons and ship equipment. Purchased from the Brethren of The Coast.

Summary

Acquisition

Purchased from the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner at the Brethren of the Coast. Each unit costs 20 Piastre, which is double the 10-Piastre price of the Rare-tier base tool sold by the same faction. The pattern holds across all four Improved tool variants.

There is no player-craft path for this item. It is purchased and consumed as a crafting-station unlock rather than produced from raw materials. Players who plan to push a full Epic tier of the associated armor or weapon line should budget 20 Piastre plus reputation time with the Brethren of the Coast.

What it Unlocks

Epic-tier cannon and ship equipment recipes, layered on top of the Rare-tier 12-Pounders, 24-Pounders, 36-Pounders, and Hull Bracing variants enabled by the base Shipwright's Tools.

The base-tier tool stays installed alongside the Improved variant; the two do not replace each other. The Improved variant simply adds the Epic-tier recipes to the crafting menu in addition to the Rare-tier ones already enabled.

Tier Progression

• Shipwright's Tools (Rare, 10 Piastre): unlocks Rare-tier recipes.

• Improved Shipwright's Tools (Epic, 20 Piastre): unlocks Epic-tier recipes on top of the Rare tier.

Other Improved Tools

Improved Shipwright's Tools is one of four Epic-tier station unlocks the Brethren sell, one per crafting discipline. The others follow the same vendor-only, double-price pattern:

• Improved Master's Tools: Epic tier for general high-end gear.

• Improved Smithing Flux: Epic tier for the smithing line.

• Improved Sewing Tools: Epic tier for tailoring and cloth gear.

Each is bought and consumed once to add its Epic recipes to the relevant station, so plan your Piastres budget around which crafting trees you actually intend to push to Epic.
