Upgrade Lane

Upgrade Lane

Treat this as a ship-power decision, not just a map pickup.

  • Confirm whether the upgrade improves storage, armor, broadside, mortar, ram, fire barrel, harpoon, or heavy shot power.
  • Use 379, 770 for the map check before leaving port.
  • Match the upgrade lane to the naval fight that is actually blocking you.

Before Spending

Before Spending

The Jackdaw menu should decide whether this route is worth the sail.

  • Check whether the upgrade is already installed or still locked.
  • Compare the plan against your current failure: sinking, low damage, weak range, bad approach, or storage pressure.
  • Group nearby treasure maps and location checks into the same route.

Naval Retry Prep

Naval Retry Prep

Use the upgrade only when it changes the next sea fight.

  • Restock ammunition before retrying forts, contracts, or legendary ships.
  • Use mortars for safer openings when close approach is the problem.
  • Return to Naval after the plan is installed so the fight route matches the new ship power.

Common Questions

How do I reach Elite Design Plan?

For Elite Design Plan, start from San Ignacio and confirm the 379, 770 plan marker. Use the wreck-side landmark to identify the pickup approach, then keep the source clue and the plan name together before returning to the Jackdaw menu.

What should I verify after collecting Elite Design Plan?

At San Ignacio, verify that the current ship menu accepts Elite Design Plan; compare the recorded “Elite Design Plans” signal with the 379, 770 plan marker instead of treating a visible map icon as an installed upgrade. Repeat the same naval opening that caused the problem so you can tell whether the plan changed survival, damage, range, control, or capacity.

What if Elite Design Plan is visible but cannot be installed?

For Elite Design Plan, keep the 379, 770 plan marker as the confirmed pickup, then check the Harbourmaster or Captain's Cabin for the missing prerequisite and materials. Do not buy another lane until the menu names the blocker around San Ignacio.
