Summary[]
In Archeage, one of the major types of transportation is using a ship. The vast sea connects all three continents together, and must be crossed for greater rewards when trading. The sea is also a popular spot for pirates that may be roaming with the intent of stealing supplies. To cross the sea, you can build ships which will allow you to travel faster; some of these ships even have added bonuses that will come in handy when under attack.
Building a Ship[]
To build a ship you will need to purchase the blueprints from Mirage Isle. There are two areas from where to buy the blueprints for the Nuian or Haranya style. (shown below)
Note: Only the Eznan Cutter has two different styles, the other is called Lutesong Junk, but both are available to all players.

Building the platform[]
Once you have bought the blueprints, you will need to collect the materials listed to create the building platform for the ship. This varies per ship, so be sure to check the blueprint for what is needed.
If you have the required materials, find a suitable area in the sea and click the blueprints in your inventory to place the platform. Once placed, the platform will have protection for three days. If you have not completed the ship before this time, then any other adventurer may attack and destroy the platform and whatever progress you have made on the ship will be lost.
Creating the Ship[]
The platform works like the construction area when building a house; you will need to transport the material bundles from a nearby crafting area to the platform. Transporting these material bundles works the same way as carrying a trade package. You may only carry one at a time, and it will reduce your movement speed. Upon reaching the platform, you will consume LP when adding the bundle to the platform. Also, like houses, any player can help to build the ship so long as they are carrying the correct bundle.
Once completed, the owner of the blueprint can claim the ship, which becomes a summon item.
After the ship is ready it can be summoned in any place where it’s possible to set sails and travel.
Both these videos explain how to build your first ship, the harpoon clipper.

Large Vessels[]
For small to medium warships, sailing straight north and south will allow for faster speeds, hence, the given maximums. The actual speed varies with game mechanics for wind, location, time of day, and more. The speed listed below for every ship is most likely the basic of basic sails without consideration for the rarity of the sails. Sails may be regraded to produce Grand-Mythic sails.
