Who is Blackfang?
Blackfang is the Captain of the Black Fox and a very charismatic pirate who has led the search for Bloodclaw ever since the Great Pirate went missing. Blackfang is also an NPC whom you can Rapport to unlock endgame content and rewards.
Rapport with Blackfang is a requirement to unlock the ship Astray in Lost Ark, making her an NPC that you’ll want to focus on as soon as you unlock the ability to Rapport with her in-game.
How to Rapport with Blackfang
Before you can start building Rapport with Blackfang, you must first complete a Roster quest and Virtue condition.
The quest you must complete is called Bloodclaw’s Dagger, which you can get from Blackfang on Blackfang’s Den. In terms of Virtue requirements, you will need the following:

After you complete Bloodclaw’s Dagger and have collected the required Wisdom, Courage, Charisma, and Kindness Virtues, talk to Blackfang on the island again and click on the Rapport button at the bottom of the dialogue screen to Rapport with her.

How long does it take to reach Trusted Rapport with Blackfang?
Rapport with Blackfang will depend on whether you decide to use Rapport Gifts or stick to using Rapport Songs and Emotes. If you build Rapport with Blackfang using Sheet Music and Emotes, it will take around 53 days to max out Rapport with the legendary pirate.
With that said, you can speed up your Rapport with Blackfang by giving her Rapport Items such as Liebeheim’s Rose (Rapport 324) or Azure Gem (Rapport 10000). Just keep in mind that acquiring these items will also take time and effort to acquire, with rare Rapport Items like the Azure Gem requiring you to complete the Shushire Adventurer’s Tome to a certain level.
On the other hand, you can build rapport with Blackfang slowly but steadily (and for free) by using Rapport Songs and Emotes. As listed above, you can increase Rapport with Blackfang by using the Sheet Music Song of Valor or Song of Temptation, or by using the Emotes Roar and Stretch.
Do I need Rapport with Blackfang to get the Astray?
Yes, you’ll need to Rapport with Blackfang to get the Astray. Getting Trusted Rapport with Blackfang is one of the requirements for completing the quest that unlocks the Astray: “Pirate Star: Astray”.
The Astray is considered one of the best ships in Lost Ark, due mainly to the ship’s game-best Sailing Speed. However, getting the Astray is no easy task, as you’ll need to complete Rapport with Blackfang (which requires up to 53 days of consistent Rapport without items), amass 300,000 Pirate Coins, and collect several materials to build the game’s fastest ship.
Conclusion
You can build Rapport with Blackfang even without spending those valuable Providence Stones for Rapport Gifts. Just visit her at Blackfang’s Den daily, use the Songs and Emotes listed in this guide, and you’ll eventually reach Trusted Rapport with the famous pirate in 53 days.
The Blackfang Rapport is arguably the most well-known Rapport in Lost Ark, and you can certainly blame the Astray for that. Building Rapport with Blackfang will get you several valuable rewards such as the Blackfang Crew Application Form and the Blackfang’s Den Island Token, but most players will be scrambling to reach Trusted Rapport with the legendary pirate to check off one of the requirements to build the Astray.
