In Sea of Conquest, ships play an important role. And with good reason: as a pirate, you'll be spending a lot of time sailing the oceans. Your ship needs to be strong to survive battle and fast to get you to the four corners of the globe. Are you new to the game and looking for a Sea of Conquest ship build guide? Then you've come to the right place!
In Sea of Conquest, your fleet will be made up of several ships. There's the flagship and several other secondary ships. In our Sea of Conquest ship build guide, we'll show you all the ships you can build.
To build a ship, you'll need a ship plan and 20 carpenter's hammers. There are three levels of rarity for ships: rare, epic and legendary. When you start building a ship, you have a greater or lesser chance of obtaining superior quality ships.
Here are the obtainment rates:
Rare: 62
Epic: 28
Legendary: 10
You should also be aware that some heroes are better suited to certain ships than others. So take a look at our guide to the best Sea of Conquest ship-hero formations.
The flagship, your main ship
In our Sea of Conquest ship build guide, we want you to understand the importance of the flagship. It's your main ship, and you need to make sure you get the most out of it. By upgrading the cabins, ship parts and crew of the flagship, you can gain in power.
The level of your flagship will determine the level of all the other ships in your fleet. In other words, if you want your secondary ships to progress, you'll need to upgrade your main ship. To do this, you'll need gold coins and various resources, which you can find in-game or by searching treasure map locations.
Speaking of resources needed to progress in SoC, don't hesitate to take advantage of our list of free Sea of Conquest codes!

Sea of Conquest ship build guide: the new ships introduced with season 1
With the release of season 1, two new ships have made their appearance. Discover them in our Sea of Conquest ship build guide:
Fearless Princess
Fearless Princess is an epic-quality infraction-type ship. This ship focuses on fire and blazing damage.
Warhammer
Warhammer is a ship that you can build using a blueprint. Its quality is random each time you build it, so don't hesitate to build it several times to get the best quality. This infraction-type ship specialises in offensive fire and blazing damage.
The different types of parts to equip on your ships
You can equip each of your ships with ship parts. These give you various bonuses, including attack bonuses. In Sea of Conquest, you can equip 4 different parts:
Cannon
Sail
The figurehead
The navigation helm (called a helmet in the game)
Each ship part you obtain has a certain level of rarity , ranging from grey (most common) to orange (legendary). The rarest parts offer the best bonuses. In addition to rarity, some ship parts have a level (1, 12, 18, 25 and 32) that determines whether or not you can equip them. In concrete terms, a level 12 part can only be equipped on a ship that is at least level 12.
Bonuses offered by coin sets
If you've already obtained ship parts, you'll have noticed that they all have a name. In fact, these are the names of the sets to which they belong. In this Sea of Conquest ship build guide, we'll introduce you to the different sets available:
Requiescence o'black
Rupturer o' the Abyss
Blade o' Freedom
Sovereign o' the Sea
Queen o' Revenge
Banquet o' the Reaper
Burning Crown
Shelter o' Yamata
Ballad of Sea Ablaze
Fury o'the Storm
Sacred Guardian
These sets entitle you to numerous bonuses. But to maximise them, you need to equip at least 2 pieces from the same set. And if you have 4, that's even better!
Sea of Conquest ship build guide: how do I get and upgrade ship parts?
Now you're probably thinking: "That's all well and good, but where can I find ship parts? That's an excellent question! The easiest way is to buy chests of ship parts in certain markets. You might even have a chance of finding some legendary coins. Alternatively, you can get coins for your ship by defeating sea monsters or taking part in in-game events.
