Ship Parts and Upgrades Guide
Overview
Ship parts are equipment items that can be installed on every ship in Sea of Conquest: Pirate War. Each ship has four equipment slots, one each for Cannon, Sail, Helm, and Figurehead. Selecting the right parts, combining them into sets, and upgrading them is one of the most impactful ways to increase fleet combat power. Equipping four parts from the same set activates a powerful set bonus that greatly amplifies a ship's specialized damage type or survivability.
Details
The Four Ship Part Slots
Every ship in the fleet has exactly four equipment slots. Each slot accepts only one part of the corresponding type:
| Slot | Part Type | Primary Influence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cannon | Attack values and damage types |
| 2 | Sail | Speed, initiative, or combat timing |
| 3 | Helm | Armor, damage reduction, defensive stats |
| 4 | Figurehead | HP, support values, or special effects |
Rarity and Maximum Levels
Ship parts come in four rarity tiers. Rarity determines how many substats are unlocked through enhancement. Parts also have a ship level requirement — a level 12 part cannot be equipped until the ship itself reaches level 12.
| Rarity | Color | Recommendation | Unlockable Substats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | Grey | Starter only | 0–1 |
| Rare | Blue | Early game | 1–2 |
| Epic | Purple | Acceptable substitute | 2–3 |
| Legendary | Orange | Recommended | 3–4 |
| Part Level | Required Ship Level | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 1 | Immediately from the start |
| Level 12 | Level 12 | Mid-game |
| Level 18 | Level 18 | Advanced stage |
| Level 25 | Level 25 | Late game |
| Level 32 | Level 32 | Endgame |
Sets and Set Bonuses
Each ship part belongs to one of several named sets. Equipping two or four parts of the same set on a single ship activates set bonuses that significantly boost damage output or survivability. Four-piece set completion is the primary goal, as the four-piece bonus far outperforms having two separate two-piece bonuses from different sets.
| Set Name | 2-Piece Bonus | 4-Piece Bonus | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freedom Blade | Ship attack +15% | Ship attack +18% | General DPS, Blaze ships |
| Burning Crown | Blazing damage +8% | Enemy ship with Burning status deals 10% less skill damage | Blaze ships |
| Sovereign o' the Sea | Ship armor +15% | Ship HP +18% | Flagship (tank) |
| Rest in Darkness | Cutthroat damage +8% | Enemy receives stacking cutthroat penalty (up to 5 stacks) | Cutthroat ships |
| Queen o' Vengeance | Artillery damage +8% | Additional artillery damage with stacking damage reduction effect (5 stacks) | Artillery ships |
| Banquet o' the Reaper | Strategic damage +8% | Temporary strategic damage boost after inflicting strategic damage | Strategic ships |
| Abyss Breaker | Drowning damage +8% | Increases skill damage received on ships afflicted with Drowning status | Drowning ships |
| Sacred Guardian | Defensive stats boost | Protective effects for allied ships | Support / Flagship |
Enhancement with Starlight Shards
The primary currency for upgrading ship parts is Starlight Shards. Enhancing a part increases its base stats, and at enhancement levels 5, 10, and 15, random substats are unlocked. Unwanted parts can be recycled in the equipment section of the inventory to convert them back into Starlight Shards.
Parts can also be used directly as enhancement material for other parts — a previously enhanced part passes along a portion of its invested resources when used as material.
Best Sets by Ship Type
| Ship Type | Recommended Set | Key Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Blaze | Burning Crown | Blazing damage +8%; enemy skill damage –10% on Burning status |
| Cutthroat | Rest in Darkness | Cutthroat damage +8%; stacking enemy penalty |
| Artillery | Queen o' Vengeance | Artillery damage +8%; 5-stack damage reduction effect |
| Strategic | Banquet o' the Reaper | Strategic damage +8%; temporary post-hit boost |
| Drowning | Abyss Breaker | Drowning damage +8%; amplified skill damage on targets |
| Flagship | Sovereign o' the Sea | Armor +15%; HP +18% |
How to Obtain Ship Parts
Ship parts can be acquired through the following activities:
- Defeating Sea Monsters (up to 5 times per day; level 12 Krakens can drop Legendary parts)
- Event rewards from active in-game events
- Cartographer's Corner (exchange tokens for random Legendary parts)
- Attacking and looting Armed Freighters
Tips
- Tip: Wait to spend Starlight Shards on enhancement until you have Legendary level 12 parts — upgrading lower-rarity parts wastes valuable resources.
- Tip: Always aim for four parts of the same set on a single ship; the four-piece bonus is substantially stronger than mixing two two-piece bonuses from different sets.
- Tip: Match the set to your ship's damage specialization: use Burning Crown for Blaze builds, Rest in Darkness for Cutthroat builds, and so on.
- Tip: When looking at substats, prioritize stats given as whole numbers rather than percentage bonuses — absolute values are more effective in most combat scenarios.
- Tip: Regularly recycle obsolete parts in the inventory to accumulate Starlight Shards for upgrading current equipment.
- Tip: Team up with other players to defeat high-level Sea Monsters (level 12 Krakens) — the rewards include significantly better parts than solo encounters provide.
