Having your first ship in Windrose is important because you will be able to travel further away from shore and take on tougher challenges. Initially, you will have only a small boat, but as you move along with completing the quests, you will be able to repair and sail the ship. In this guide, we will tell you how to get your first ship in Windrose.
How To Get Ship
Once you have placed a Bonfire near your camp, the character named Dr. Gallen will come to you. OAfter talking to him, you’ll get a couple of quests, including Rescuing the Crew and I Need a Bigger Boat.
In order to begin your journey to the other locations, click “K” to bring up your smaller boat. Go inside and start navigating through islands indicated by icons. On reaching the island of your shipwreck site, you may notice that there are many enemies guarding the ship. Defeat all these enemies before moving further. Then go ahead and press “E” to examine the wrecked boat. Some of the ships might be irreparably damaged, while others can be looted for chests. Keep moving to the next markers until you find a ship that looks mostly intact. This is the one you’ll need to repair.
How To Repair a Ship
Again, clear out any enemies nearby, then interact with the ship. You’ll see the list of materials needed to fix it. You’ll need:
- Wood (100): Just grab your axe and chop down trees. You’ll find plenty around the island.
- Nails (20): You can craft these at a workbench using copper (1 Copper Ingot gives 5 nails), or pick some up by looting wrecks and barrels.
- Fabric (20): Make coarse fabric at a workbench. Each one costs 3 Plant Fibre, which you can collect while exploring.
- Rope (10): Also crafted at a workbench using 3 Plant Fibre per rope.
Once you’ve gathered everything, return to the ship and repair it.
This is where the Rescuing the Crew quest comes in. Complete that quest to recruit enough crew members. Once you have them, go back to the ship, interact with it again, and choose the option to launch it with your crew. After launching, you’ll now be able to summon your bigger ship using K. To finish the quest, head back to Dr Gallen, talk to him, and go through the dialogue.
