To craft an item, you must first learn its plan.

In-Game Effect (Once Crafted)

Rare tier: As Ship Health drops, Damage Resistance increases, reaching up to 25% at 30% Ship Health.

Epic tier (via Ascend): As Ship Health drops, Damage Resistance increases, reaching up to 25% at 30% Ship Health. Repair Kits effectivness increased by 30% (in-game typo preserved).

Where to Buy

Sold by the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner at Level 2 Smugglers of Port Royal faction reputation. The plan costs Piastre x300 per copy.

All three hull-bracing plans share the same Level 2 Smuggler reputation gate and 300 Piastre price, so they are typically bought together once a captain reaches the rank. Learning all three plans costs 900 Piastre in total.

What it Unlocks

Using the plan teaches the crafting recipe for Hull Bracing: Iron Resolve, a Rare hull modification. After learning the plan, the recipe appears in the Shipwright's Workshop crafting menu. The Level 1 tier recipe requires Wooden Plank x10, Copper Ingot x5, Nails x5; higher station tiers unlock upgraded material pipelines.

How It Compares to Other Bracings

All three hull bracings are crafted at the Shipwright's Workshop and occupy the same hull-modification slot, so a ship runs only one at a time. They suit different captains. Hull Bracing: Keelhold is a sustain pick that protects repair-kit uptime, Hull Bracing: Iron Resolve is a clutch option that scales its bonus the lower your hull drops, and Hull Bracing: Standfast trades on timed damage-reduction stacks.

Bracing	Rare Effect	Best For
Keelhold	Taking damage no longer affects repair-kit duration	Steady drawn-out fights where repair kits run constantly
Iron Resolve	Damage Resistance rises as hull falls, up to 25% at 30% Ship Health	Surviving a hull that has already been beaten low
Standfast	Builds 5 stacks over time; each hit spent cuts incoming damage 25% for 3 seconds	Absorbing short bursts of incoming fire

Because every variant shares the Level 2 Smugglers of Port Royal reputation gate and the same 300 Piastre price, many captains buy and learn all three, then swap the installed bracing to match the encounter rather than committing to one.

Crafting Notes

Once the plan is learned, Hull Bracing: Iron Resolve is crafted at the Shipwright's Workshop. The Rare tier uses Wooden Plank x10, Copper Ingot x5, and Nails x5. Upgrading the finished bracing to its Epic tier through Ascend keeps the base effect and adds the bonus listed above, so it is worth holding spare materials for the upgrade once the Rare version is installed.
