11Ship Repair covers the mid-combat hull-healing system in Windrose. Three tiers of Repair Kits trade speed for durability: the basic Repair Kit is a slow out-of-combat top-up, the Combat Repair Kit is the standard in-combat heal, and the Master Combat Repair Kit is the Epic upgrade. Behavior changes significantly once Keelhold is installed as the ship's hull modification.22Repair Kit Hierarchy44ItemRarityHealDurationDamage BehaviorRepair KitUncommon40% hull120s (2 min)Damage interrupts and cancels the heal.Combat Repair KitRare30% hull10sDamage reduces remaining duration; does not cancel heal.Master Combat Repair KitEpic60% hull10sDamage reduces remaining duration; does not cancel heal.88Combat Repair Kit Recipe99The Rare Combat Repair Kit is crafted at the Workbench (upgraded tier). Cast time is instant; the heal ticks over 10 seconds.1111IngredientQuantityWooden Plank5Rum Bottle1Steel Nails11313When to Use Each Tier1414Repair Kit (Uncommon): Dock-adjacent or out-of-combat top-ups only. The 2-minute duration and damage-interruption mean any incoming hit wipes the remaining heal. Useful between fights or while sailing through safe waters.Combat Repair Kit (Rare): The standard in-combat pick. 30% hull over 10 seconds survives incoming broadsides. Rule of thumb: carry at least one per expected broadside exchange.Master Combat Repair Kit (Epic): The Epic upgrade. Doubles the heal (60% vs 30%) with the same 10s duration and same damage behavior. The go-to late-game pick once the Epic tier is accessible.15+Repair Kit (Uncommon): Dock-adjacent or out-of-combat top-ups only.

Keelhold changes this completely. At Rare tier, Keelhold removes the damage-interruption penalty entirely; the kit ticks its full duration regardless of incoming fire. At Epic tier, Keelhold also adds +30% duration on top, extending a 10s Combat Repair Kit to effectively 13s.2222Keelhold is the repair-focused hull modification, but it is not the only one. Hull Bracing instead leans on raw durability rather than protecting your heals, so a captain who prefers to soak hits over timing repairs may slot it instead. Pick the modification that matches how your ship tends to sink.24+Interaction with Naval Tactics III: Stretch the Supply2426The Smugglers of Port Royal sell Naval Tactics III: Stretch The Supply at Rep 3 for 500 Piastre. It adds +30% to Repair Kit duration. Combined with Epic Keelhold's +30%, the effective healing window grows substantially, which is the core of the late-game "impossible to sink" build.2628Wharf Repairs (Non-Kit)2830Between fights, parking at a Wharf allows the ship to repair using raw wood rather than kits. Wharf repairs are cost-efficient but unavailable during engagements and unavailable at sea. Plan to use Wharf repairs for out-of-combat hull resets and kits for in-combat recovery.3032MethodWhereCostBest ForWharf repairAt a Wharf onlyRaw WoodFull hull resets between voyagesRepair KitAnywhere, but interruptibleCrafted kitQuiet-water top-ups between fightsCombat Repair KitAt sea, mid-fightCrafted kitSurviving an active broadside exchange34+Repair Loadout Checklist35+Stock several Combat Repair Kit before any open-sea fight; one per expected broadside exchange is the safe baseline.Keep a Wood reserve so you can fully reset hull at a Wharf without burning crafted kits.Slot Keelhold once available so incoming fire stops eating your repair duration.Read the wider Naval Combat guide for how repair pacing fits into positioning and broadside trading.37+See Also3239Combat Repair Kit - the Rare kitMaster Combat Repair Kit - the Epic kitKeelhold - the meta hull modificationNaval Tactics III: Stretch The Supply - +30% kit durationNaval Combat - overall naval engagement guideWharf - out-of-combat hull repair station40+Combat Repair Kit - the Rare kitMaster Combat Repair Kit - the Epic kitKeelhold - the meta hull modificationHull Bracing - durability-focused hull modificationNaval Tactics III: Stretch The Supply - +30% kit durationNaval Combat - overall naval engagement guideWharf - out-of-combat hull repair station
