How To Get And Upgrade Your First Pirate Ship In Windrose

In a pirate game like Windrose, your character's life revolves around your ship. It's the primary way you navigate the world, allows you to engage in naval combat for rare loot, and serves as a constant form of progression. However, at the start of Windrose, you're a captain who's left without a ship, forcing you to survive without one for some time.

As you might expect, the game's story involves you acquiring a ship, but it doesn't happen automatically. Find out more about how to get your first ship and start upgrading it in Windrose in the guide below.

Technically, you can actually get your first ship fairly early on in the main story. After you complete the tutorial mission, you'll find Dr. Galen, whom you met in the opening minutes of the game, at your base. He survived the boarding of your previous ship and found his way back to you in the hopes of getting a crew together to go after the pirates who shot you.
