12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered is a 12-pound ship cannon, the Rare-rarity modded variant that ascends to Epic. Set out and kept in proper order, these guns cycle cleanly once engaged, answering shot with shot as their motion settles into rhythm.
A well-timed broadside settles many arguments.

How to Unlock
Crafting 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered requires learning Plans: Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders, a Rare recipe paper bought from the Rogue Buccaneers Provisioner once your Rogue Buccaneers reputation reaches Level 2. The plan costs Piastre x300 and is consumed on use; one copy unlocks the recipe permanently.
Crafting Recipes
12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered 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 x10, Wooden Plank x5 | 1s (60/min) | |
Level 6 | Foothills Iron Ingot x10, Timber x4, Shipwright's Tools x2 | 1s (60/min) | |
Level 11 | Mire Metal Ingot x10, Tarred Planks x5, Shipwright's Tools x2 | 1s (60/min) |
Ascend to Epic
The Rare version of 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered 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 x7 + 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Rare) x1 to 12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered (Epic) x1
Epic-only bonus: Aiming speed increased by 30%.
When to Use
Perfectly Ordered cannons reward steady accuracy. Each hit within four seconds of a reload extends a 30% reload-speed buff, which can be maintained with consistent gunnery to create a rolling rapid-fire cadence. Best on hulls that can tank return fire without dropping aim, like the Brig or Frigate. The Epic tier adds a 30% aiming-speed bonus, which further shrinks the window needed to land each follow-up hit.

Extra Epic Bonus | None | Aiming speed increased by 30%. |
The raw numbers do not change on ascension; the ATK, Damage, Reload, Range, and Accuracy values are all inherited from the Rare input. The only difference is the added Epic-only layer, which stacks with the Rare-tier effect rather than replacing it.
When the Upgrade is Worth It
Perfectly Ordered Epic adds a flat +30% aiming speed, which shortens the window needed to land the next hit and extend the rolling +30% reload buff. On rangy hulls the Epic tier is noticeably easier to maintain cadence with. Pair with Naval Tactics IV: Shipshape to squeeze the most value out of the upgraded cannon battery.
When to Skip the Ascension
Ascending is not always the right call. The Rare tier is already strong in isolation, and each ascension burns Tumbaga Ingot x7 for a single cannon slot. If you are still climbing the Shipwright's Workshop tier ladder, if your Brig is not yet Item Level 15, or if you are rotating between playstyles that favor different modification lines, it is often smarter to keep the Rare cannon and spend your Tumbaga on something else first. The ascension is a one-way upgrade, but the cost also rises quickly if you change your mind about which variant you want on a given hull.
Effect
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Base caliber | 12-pounder |
Special effect | After the ship fires these cannons, hitting an enemy within 4 seconds grants +30% reload speed for 22 seconds |
Buff stacking | The 30% reload speed buff can be maintained by continuous hits, creating a rolling rapid-fire cadence |
The effect rewards sustained aggressive gunnery. In 1v1 ship fights, connecting consecutive volleys turns Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders into one of the fastest-firing cannon options in the game. In 1v2 fleet engagements, the buff extends through cross-ship shots, so focusing one target with back-to-back hits extends the cadence while still contributing damage to both enemies.
How to Acquire
Reach Rank 2 with the Rogue Buccaneers through Insia turn-ins and Letters of Favor, then purchase the plan at the Provisioner for 300 Piastres. Once plans are owned, the cannon itself is crafted at the Shipwright's Workshop using standard cannon materials (Copper Ingots, Wood, plus the specialty components on the plan).
Strategic Value
Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders are widely considered a must-buy for Brig and Frigate owners who plan to run naval content. The 30% reload speed buff compounds with other ship-loadout choices (Naval Tactics, Hull Bracing, Boarding Party Gear) to turn a large ship into a continuous firing platform rather than a volley-based one.
