If there’s an item in Windrose that determines if your pirate crew fights like veterans or drowns, it would be the Boarding Party Gear. This guide shows how you can craft and upgrade it to its max level. So, keep reading to transform your deckhands into lethal pirate-killing machines!

How to Get Boarding Party Gear in Windrose

Crafting the Boarding Party Gear in Windrose is possible through the Shipwright’s Workshop. Start this operation by building this workstation using 15x Wood, 10x Coarse Fabric, and 5x Copper Ingot. Once built, interact with the Shipwright’s Workshop and use 7x Copper Ingot, 7x Rough Hide, and 7x Coarse Fabric to craft the Boarding Party Gear.

Upgrading Boarding Party Gear: Materials & Stats

Upgrading the Boarding Party Gear is possible through the Shipwright’s Workshop. Interact with this workstation and access its Upgrade tab while the Boarding Party Gear is in your inventory to increase its potential. Windrose players who wish to upgrade the Boarding Party Gear should prepare the following materials:

• Item Level 1: N/A
• Item Levels 2 to 5: 7x Copper Ingot, 7x Rough Hide, and 7x Coarse Fabric
• Item Level 6: 4x Foothills Iron Ingot, 4x Tanned Leather, and 4x Linen Fabric
• Item Levels 7 to 10: 7x Foothills Iron Ingot, 7x Tanned Leather, 7x Linen Fabric, and 3x Sewing Tools
• Item Level 11: 4x Mire Metal Ingot, 4x Crocodile Hide Piece, 4x Tarred Fabric, and 3x Sewing Tools
• Item Levels 12 to 15: 7x Mire Metal Ingot, 7x Crocodile Hide Piece, 7x Tarred Fabric, and 3x Sewing Tools

Each upgrade level increases your crew’s attack power by 20 ATK points. At Level 1, the Boarding Party Gear grants your seafaring party 100 ATK. Upgrade this workstation to Level 15 to enjoy 380 ATK for your pirate company. But the question is, is the Boarding Party Gear worth upgrading? The short answer is, “yes.” The Boarding Party Gear is your crew’s combat scaler, allowing your loyal NPCs to fight like pirate veterans rather than untrained deckhands. Additionally, unlike cannons or hull mods, it eliminates the need to search for materials to craft gunpowder, ammunition, and other resources. Doing so gives the Boarding Party Gear a “plug and play” effect, allowing you to leave it, and it’ll still remain relevant in naval combat.
