Revision 1

Ship Design: Frigate is the blueprint item for the Frigate hull in Windrose. It is sold by the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner at Reputation Rank 4 for 3,000 Piastres. Sometimes shortened to "Ship Design: Frig" in community writeups; the in-game item name is Ship Design: Frigate.

Purchase Details

Design vs. Craftable Ship

As with the Brig design, purchasing the Frigate design only unlocks the recipe. Crafting the Frigate requires Cursed Swamps-tier materials including Mire Metal Ingot. Players who buy the design before clearing the Cursed Swamps typically cannot build the ship until deep into the late game.

Frigate Specs (Stock Variant)

The Frigate is the largest of the three playable ship classes. Its combat role is ship-of-the-line fleet engagement rather than quick scouting: the hull is slow but carries enough firepower and crew capacity to handle 1v2 or 1v3 fleet actions.

Strategic Note

Do not buy Ship Design: Frigate before verifying you can reliably farm Cursed Swamps materials. At 3,000 Piastres, it is the single most expensive blueprint in the game, and the design sits idle in inventory until the materials are available. Most players hold the 3,000 Piastres as a Cursed Swamps priority unlock and push other faction content first.
