What are Ship Blueprints in Lost Ark?
Blueprints are materials that are used to upgrade Ships in Lost Ark alongside Timber and Ship Parts. Upgrading a ship will increase the vessel’s attributes such as durability and speed, giving it the ability to travel faster from one continent to another and survive harsh conditions along the way.
You can only upgrade ships twice in Lost Ark, but each upgrade requires a sizable amount of upgrade materials – Blueprints included.
Fortunately, there are quite a few ways to acquire Blueprints in Lost Ark.
How to get Ship Blueprints in Lost Ark?
You can get Ship Blueprints from the Traveling Ship Merchants in Lost Ark, specifically, the Spearfish Hunting Guild Vessel and Plumpcrab Fishing Guild Vessel found in Anikka, North Vern, and many other ports in the game.
You can also get Ship Blueprints from Trade Merchants in your Stronghold. Look for Duekhyeon, Illayne, Rami, Tago, and others. Some events in Lost Ark give out Ship Blueprints after you complete them as well.
Some in-game events will also give out Blueprints as rewards. Sometimes, the Daily login rewards will also have a Blueprint up for grabs.
