Shipwreck Scavenging

The most reliable free source of Steel Nails is smashing apart shipwreck debris scattered along the shoreline of most islands. Swinging an axe at a wreck produces a mixed drop of planks and Steel Nails, with stacks tending toward the lower end per wreck. A single island's shoreline can yield a meaningful stockpile when swept completely before the player ventures inland.

Because Steel Nails are T02 tier, shipwreck scavenging is a supplementary pipeline rather than a sustainable long-term supply. Once a shoreline is cleared, the debris does not regenerate, so treat early wrecks as a one-time boost while newer islands are still being explored. Later, most players shift to seizing Steel Nails from sunken pirate vessels and the occasional vendor restock.

Steel Nails are distinct from the generic Nails produced at the Workbench from Copper or Iron Ingots. Where basic Nails go into storage chests, early building parts, and ship-repair quests such as I Need a Bigger Boat, Steel Nails feed directly into the Combat Repair Kit line for on-water ship maintenance.
