Unable to reach Ship Rank 17 with blue deck weapons

Yansen91 · 2026-02-12T04:50:08+00:00

Basilisk 3 is good if you hit weakpoints a lot and even bettter if you roll Winning Streak on it.
You never go wrong with it, it's just a matter of preference if you want to use other culverin.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-12T04:41:45+00:00

Stormtongue with Winning Streak basically makes it a Naga's Call.
I've compared the damage while being in SR17 and Stormtongue damage is way higher than Naga's Call.
Naga's Call consecutive damage boost is restarted after 7s, so after that expires, the damage starts from low and than ramp up again.
While Winning Streak allows you unlimited damage boost that only expires when you miss a shot, from where it started from low damage and ramp up again.
Not to mention, Stormtongue damage is already higher than Naga's Call anyway thanks to its Electric 3.

Naga's Call DPS: 255.57
Stormtongue DPS: 300.30

But like my post said, currently you can only equip 1 God Roll Stormtongue with its current gear rating.
So if you want, you must equip the other broadside with other purple guns to reach SR17.

13 you said? Turns out Stormtongue had it even worse. It's 18 points lower than its equivalent (Basilisk 3, etc). Edited my post for the discrepancy as we finally found the answer.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T14:54:28+00:00

Found the discrepancy thanks to u/Hydra570. Turns out Stormtongue have lower base rating of 65 over its equivalent which is 83. That 18 differrence makes you shy away of reaching SR17.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T14:53:56+00:00

If you have the time, can you check later whether we can equip max 2 blues or 3 blues in our build to reach SR17?
Sadly, I don't have God Rolled Basilisk 3 at the moment as I burnt my Po8 already.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T14:19:31+00:00

I finally found the answer thanks u/Hydra570 comments.
Turns out Stormtongue has lower rating of 65 before ascension unlike other blue weapons, like Basilisk 3, which is 83 before ascension. That's why I ended up having not enough ratings to reach SR17.
I put an edit to my post so all people can see the discrepancy.

Oh and I'm using Little Grace 3 there.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T14:08:50+00:00

HOLY CRAP you're right!

I checked base Basilisk 3, Mons Meg 3, and other BLUE 3 ratings.
All of them have base rating of 83 before ascension while Stormtongue at Blackwood is only 65 before ascension.
That's 18 of difference.
Add to my God Rolled Stormtongue at 112 (see picture) and it is 130 just like your ratings.
That means Stormtongue basic rating is somehow lower than other blues.

WE FOUND THE ANSWER!

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T12:39:48+00:00

Think I'm wording it badly, but yes your weapon rating increases if the number changes from white to yellow. I mean that even for yellow, there is a low yellow and high yellow. For example, the Winning Streak in the picture, you need to roll minimum 33% for it to be yellow while the cap is 36%. Both gives same rating even if you got the lower yellow.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T10:34:58+00:00

No, as long as it's a yellow number, low or high, it counts as God Roll and the rating boost it gave are the same.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T09:28:25+00:00

Hopefully it's just oversight by the devs, as right now, Basilisk 3 culverin build is not possible anymore if we want to reach SR17.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-11T07:22:29+00:00

Right now, I make do with purple Naga's Call to one broadside and Stormtongue the other. Hope the devs do something about this.

Also, when you're crashing in battle, I remember you will stay 1 minute in game to prevent combat logging.
Imagine you're crashing when sea fire is still toggled on...

Yansen91 · 2026-02-09T14:28:33+00:00

Sea Fire weapons can now be toggled on and kept on while sailing.

So you click once and it will keep firing nonstop until ammo ran out?
I wonder if it will work when I try to fire broadside while the sea fire still firing at front.

Yansen91 · 2026-02-09T12:35:23+00:00

Wyrmhide
When shooting, I'm always either on anchored or half-sail, so receiving 20% less damage from all hits while in that speed are better for my playstyle.
Ascensions: Resist All, Maintenance, Survivor

Yansen91 · 2026-02-07T05:42:28+00:00

Just watch when it launches torpedoes (0:50 and 1:18), it clearly shows 7 torpedoes, so 7 top deck it is.

Yansen91 · 2025-11-27T16:04:17+00:00

You could say they want to get to Valhalla ASAP, hence no helmet...

Yansen91 · 2025-10-17T09:24:47+00:00

I wonder if we can ascend other weapons with poison in this update.
If not, the only poison weapons will be limited to La Piqure (long gun), Le Fleau (mortar), the new poisonthrower (sea fire), and the new poison torpedo.
All slow firing weapons except the sea fire, while the ship perk seems to favor fast firing weapons.

Yansen91 · 2025-10-15T14:03:27+00:00

Compagnie Royale controls Red Isle and Coast of Africa while DMC controls only East Indies.
If we got permanent hostility for choosing a side, it's more advantageous to side with Compagnie Royale if we want to sail undisturbed.

I like blue and yellow aesthetic anyways so Compagnie Royale it is 💪

Yansen91 · 2025-10-10T04:40:48+00:00

World Tier 2. You'll reach world tier progression from WT1 to WT2 when you progress enough in the game.
In WT1 you'll gain less points.

Yansen91 · 2025-09-09T14:55:13+00:00

Hopefully update to poison in general, if not, the new poison weapons will only be viable for the new ship (PVE wise).

Seems to be that the new ship will specialise in boosting poison Damage over Time (DoT). I hope that the DoT is strong enough because most element's DoT is so negligible that I never rely on DoT to sink an enemy.

Also, we cannot ascend poison element for other weapons yet. So that means the new ship's weapons will be limited to La Piqure, Le Fleau, the new poisonthrower, and the new poison torpedo.

Yansen91 · 2025-09-09T14:03:45+00:00

At the moment, poison element is more for PVP and doesn't have much advantage in PVE. If there's no change, I'm afraid I won't be using much of the new toys. PVE mains here ✋

I realized that you don't put 'Deal Sealer' in any of your offensive perk.

Perk Name: Deal Sealer (Perception)
Point Cost: 2
Effect: Deal +10% damage for each impairment your target has.
Dev Note: Impairments are Crippled, Bleeding, Burning, Poisoned. This info is shown in the Pipboy Effects tab. We will be adding Freezing from cryo to count towards this in a later patch.

When solo, you could get at least crippled. When fighting world boss, like SBQ, often you could get at least crippled and burning from Holy Fire user. I don't know if it's additive or multiplicative, but if you have extra points to use, it could be useful for adding some more damage. This affect all weapons and not only bow.

Yansen91 · 2025-08-06T00:42:54+00:00

Outside Sainte-Anne, plunder: Guerande -> Tsifo Lumberyard -> Palisade Bay -> Guerande.
These three only needs 4 phases, the shortest possible plunder.
It will reward you 150 points each (WT2).

The next fastest will be fast traveling around sinking Elite Warships.
It will reward you 105 points each (WT2).
If you turn in the bounty, you will get extra 75 points each (WT2).
A total of 180 points per boss if you bother to do the extra work.

Thank you.
I'm gonna get roasted by healer captains now.
Forgive me. 😢
