Shipwright¶

Profession · Timber

Areas and stages¶

Each area of the profession on the craft tree can be revealed once you have earned enough craft XP in the profession. Your profession stage is the highest stage among the areas you have reached.

Craft XP	Stage	Area	Lore
55	1	6	Oak ribs and pine planks promise a voyage with a full hold. A shipwright bears the supplies with ease and shapes hulls that cut swiftly through the waves.
184	2	8	Taut sails catch the wind while a well-shaped keel answers every touch of the helm. Ships raised in this yard run swift and turn sure; from the prow, a watchful sailor finds distant shores and a safe way through the waves.
547	3	3	Many voyages teach the feel of the sea. The skilled helmsman catches every breath of wind and steers through narrow straits with ease.
908	4	7	An old boathouse lies shrouded in mist. The secrets of the shipwrights who built here are known only to the tides.
1,594	5	1	Sailors whisper prayers to Njord before the voyage. On these waters, the wind so often blows from behind.
2,929	7	2	Fast ships and strong swimmers. Those who fall from the deck reach the hull again without tiring.
3,726	8	4	In the far Ocean, a lookout's eyes can see beyond the horizon. Sailors who dive near their ship swim tirelessly, and the sea gives up more.
4,969	9	5	The great drakkars of legend were built from the timber of a single ancient oak. Master shipwrights waste nothing in their work.
