2121 What it Unlocks
2222  
2323 Using the plan teaches the crafting recipe for Hull Bracing: Keelhold, 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.

2525 How It Compares to Other Bracings
2626  
2727 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.

3030 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.

3232 Crafting Notes

3434 Once the plan is learned, Hull Bracing: Keelhold 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.
