Introduction

The Epheria Sailboat is a ship that can be upgraded into the Improved Epheria Sailboat or the Epheria Caravel, and finally the Carrack Advance/Balance ship. These ships have high max weight limit and inventory slots, making them the recommended ships for the Bartering Lifeskill .

The Epheria Frigate, Improved Epheria Frigate, Epheria Galleass, and Carrack Valor/Volante ships are the other types of Epheria ships, and are more focused on Naval Combat, with more cannons, better reload speed, and slightly faster speed/accel/turn/brake.

This guide covers everything related to the Epheria Sailboat, Improved Sailboat, and Epheria Caravel ships.

Epheria Sailboat > Improved Epheria Sailboat > Epheria Caravel > Epheria Carrack

Although you can upgrade an Epheria Sailboat to an Improved Epheria Sailboat, it is not really really recommended because the upgrade is a lot of extra materials for just a cannon upgrade and the ability to use the ship cannons from the wheel. I would recommend skipping that upgrade and going straight from the Epheria Sailboat to the Caravel.

How to obtain the Epheria Sailboat

There are currently 4 different ways to obtain the Epheria Sailboat:

• Purchase the Epheria Sailboat from the Central Market (approx 500 million silver)
• Craft the ship yourself at the Port Epheria Shipyard
• Upgrade the Bartali Sailboat into an Epheria Sailboat
• Exchange [Event] Radiant Shakatu’s Seal x20 for an Epheria Sailboat

In most cases, it is recommended to just purchase the Sailboat from the Central Market if possible, since 500 million silver is easier and faster to obtain than the materials needed to craft the ship.

To craft the ship yourself, you will need the Port Epheria Level 3 Shipyard (2nd Floor, Epheria 3-5).

You will need a minimum of 13 CP for the Shipyard and a single worker.

However, it is worth noting that you can send multiple workers to build your Epheria Sailboat, cutting down on the time it takes to craft the ship. Use as many goblin workers as you can to process the materials as quickly as possible.

Epheria Sailboat Gear

The Bartali Sailboat, Epheria Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, Improved Epheria Sailboat, and Improved Epheria Frigate all use the green-grade Old Ship set.

Each of the pieces can be purchased from Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria for 3 – 4 million silver each.

You need an enhanced +10 of each piece to upgrade your ship into the Epheria Caravel/Galleass

Enhancing this ship gear is easy, since it is 100% chance and requires a set amount of Black Stones.

Each time you enhance, the Max Durability will be decreased by 10. You can repair the max durability using a base version of the same equipment item.

To enhance a single item, you will need 55 Verdant Blackstones, and for the full set, that is 220 Verdant Blackstones.

Improved Epheria Sailboat

The Improved Epheria Sailboat is a stepping stone from the Epheria Sailboat to the Epheria Caravel.

To upgrade the Epheria Sailboat into an Epheria Caravel:

• Check the Epheria Sailboat into a wharf at the wharf manager
• Select the upgrade option from the menu

However, in most cases, it is not really recommended to upgrade to the Improved version since it only upgrades the cannons and reload speed, which is not needed for Bartering.

You also still need the same amount of materials to upgrade to the Epheria Caravel, so it is better to just skip the Improved Epheria Sailboat and upgrade straight to the Caravel.

Upgrading to the Epheria Caravel

To upgrade the Epheria Sailboat or Improved Epheria Sailboat into an Epheria Caravel:

• Check the Epheria Sailboat/Improved Epheria Sailboat into a wharf at the wharf manager.

You will need the materials below to upgrade the ship into an Epheria Caravel.

You can get a good amount of the materials simply by completing Ravina’s Ship Upgrade Log. More information about this can be found in our Bartering guide .

This should give you:

• Graphite Ingot for Upgrade x50
• Timber for Upgrade x50
• Adhesive for Upgrade x50

Other daily quests you must do for the Caravel upgrade can be found on Oquilla’s Eye:

• Obtained from Ravikel on the west dock of Oquilla’s Eye
• Barter 5 times
• Reward: Deep Sea Memory Filled Glue x8 (you will need 4 of these for the Caravel and more for the Carrack)
• Obtained from Curio the Otter Merchant on the south beach of Oquilla’s Eye ( location )
• Give coral pieces x10 (you can just buy these from the central market)
• Reward: Seaweed Stalk x4

Epheria Caravel Gear

There are 2 different equipment sets for the Epheria Caravel.

• The green set can be bought from Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria for 7 – 9 million silver each,
• The blue set needs to be crafted at the level 4 Ship Part Workshop in Epheria (2nd Floor, 1-4, Epheria).

The green set enhanced to +10 is required to craft the blue caravel set, and then to upgrade to the Carrack ship, you will need the blue grade gear enhanced to +10 .

Enhancing Caravel Gear

For the Epheria Caravel/Galleass, you use special black stones to enhance the ship gear:

Enhancing the green gear is not difficult and doesn’t really require any failstacks or low failstacks, for the recommended failstacks to use when enhancing the blue gear, use our failstack recommendations .

Caravel Blue-grade Gear Crafting and Stats

Total crafting materials required for the full blue set can be found below:

• Tide-Dyed Standardized Timber Square x180

Adventurer's Guide

• Life Skills
• Advanced Fishing Guide

Advanced Fishing Guide Request Edit

In this page we will be going over the more specific details regarding the fishing life skill. For the basics, please check the [Fishing] page.

• 1. Fishing Types
• 2. Fishing Rod & Float
• 5. Fishing Speed Level
• 6. Mastery & Prize Catch
• 7. Imperial Fishing Delivery
• 8.1 Shim Cheong's Miraculous Fish Tank

Fishing Types

There are three types of fishing: normal manual fishing, auto-fishing, and harpoon fishing.

Manual fishing is when you catch fish manually, one by one, by playing the minigame presented for each fishing cycle.

Auto-fishing is carried out automatically when you don’t take any action after a fish bites. Fish will be automatically collected after 180 seconds (3 minutes), after which the character will throw the hook away again, repeating the fishing process.   Harpoon fishing consists of catching fish with a harpoon at sea. For this variety of fishing you will need to obtain a harpoon, which can be crafted at a town tool workshop, and a fishing boat, or a cog, to go out to sea.

Once this is done, equip the harpoon, point at water, and press the Space key. Once a deep sea fish is detected, a prompt will appear to begin the minigame.

The minigame for harpoon fishing is not the same one as for normal fishing. In this one, you need to find the fish’ shadow underwater and press the Space key on top of it, throwing harpoons at it to weaken the fish. Once weakened enough, it will be yours. You’re given a minute and 15 harpoons to catch the fish.

Please note that there is no auto-harpoon fishing.

Fishing Rod & Float

The Balenos/Calpheon/Epheria/Mediah fishing rods and ash tree/maple floats can be enhanced with black stones, and the effects will be improved when their enhancement level increases. Additionally, for the Balenos fishing rod and Epheria fishing rod, the durability will go up when you enhance them with black stones, which means you can fish for a long time with them before needing to go repair them. But be careful, since the enhancement level can go down after failing an enhancement attempt after +7. If you want to avoid the risk of enhancement failure, use a lot of black stone and try force-enhancement. However, remember that you will need to repair the maximum durability of the rod and float afterwards.

On the other hand, a triple-float fishing rod is very efficient, since you can catch a lot of fish at once. But it is a one-time-use fishing rod that can’t be repaired or enhanced.

You can check additional information on rare fish and big fish in the in-game knowledge window (hotkey: H) by going to Life Skill → Fishing.

Overall, picking a fishing rod that suits you and your intended purpose best is part of the fun.

However, all open sea hotspots will have a distinctive feature. A flock of seagulls above them, catching fish. Whenever you see a circle of seagulls surrounding a small area, that means the area is a fishing hotspot.

Please note that sea hotspots, those with seagulls above them, are not permanent, but appear and disappear from time to time. In the same manner, as you fish in them, you might catch all the fish in them, making them disappear. But you do not have to worry, as after a certain amount of time has passed the hotspot will reappear.

 The area next to Velia is a popular destination for Adventurers leaving their characters AFK to fish for extended periods of time.

You can sell your fish to a Trade Manager or Imperial Fishing Delivery Manager NPC.

Contrary to most forms of trade, you do not need to have the nodes connected from the point of origin to the location you want to sell your fish in. The point of origin will determine how much the fish will be valued when you sell it. The longer the distance between the point of origin and the point of sale, the greater the value. However, the longer you take to sell the fish, the less base value it will have. Make sure to strike a balance between the two in your favor.

If you caught your fish at sea, the origin point is divided by the water territory, but it actually displays the island that represents the nearest sea area to it, so the place you actually caught the fish and the displayed location can be slightly different.

 As seen in the example above, fish sold near their area of origin as soon as possible will grant less extra profit (the green additional percentage), but will maintain all of its base value (the 100% below its price).

Fishing Speed Level

You can reduce the time it takes for fish to bite by increasing your character’s fishing speed ability level. You can check this one in your character’s profile (hotkey: P), on the ability section.

By improving this, you can get more fish during the same amount of time. If you’ve decided to go fishing, it is a good idea to get your character up to level 5 of this ability, as it will reduce the time taken for fish to bite by 50%.

You can raise this ability level through dishes, elixirs, certain clothes, and guild skills. The simplest way to increase it is by using a guild skill. Of course, the guild skill can be applied only when you are in a guild, so if you’re a fisher without a guild, don’t forget to ask what level of Art of Fishing the guild has reached before you join them.

Next, you can also increase it by wearing silver embroidered fisher’s clothes. When you enhance them to +2, it’ll grant you 2 fishing speed ability levels. This means that, by getting 3 from the guild skill, and getting 2 from the clothes, you can get to have the 5 levels easily whenever you fish.

If you’re not in a guild, or this one does not possess that skill, you can increase the remaining levels with dishes and elixirs. The Balenos meal will boost your fishing speed ability level by 2 for 90 minutes, so it is very useful.

The magnificence of a +5 silver embroidered fisher’s clothes!

Mastery & Prize Catch

Depending on the life skill, mastery may affect the quantity of items you can gather, or the amount you can process all at once. For fishing, mastery increases the chance of catching a prize catch, which includes both prize catch fish and ancient relic crystal shards. However, keep in mind that mastery will not increase your chance to catch fish categorized as rare.

Prize catch fishes are some of the rarest you can find while fishing, both inland and out at sea, and both with a fishing rod and with a harpoon.

While mastery will increase the chance at which we may find a prize catch with a fishing rod, it works a bit differently when fishing with a harpoon. For these, if your mastery is too low you may not even be able to find prize catch fishes. A minimum amount of mastery is required, and after that, certain thresholds need to be reached to increase your prize catch harpoon level, of which there are up to 3.

If you want to try your luck with prize catch fish, ask other experienced fishers first for the best locations and equipment!

Imperial Fishing Delivery

During your travels throughout the continent you might have spotted certain NPCs in or near wharfs with the title <Imperial Fishing Delivery>.

These imperial delivery managers take valuable goods sought after by the imperial court, and due to this they always purchase them at 250% of their market price.

Additionally, the price distance bonus from selling fish also applies when selling it to an imperial fishing delivery manager!

There is a limit on the number of fish that can be delivered to a specific imperial fishing delivery manager. When the Imperial Delivery NPC has purchased the quantity of a fish they ask for, the number seen in the above picture will reach 0 and the NPC won’t purchase any more of it.

During imperial fishing delivery you compete with other Adventurers with the objective to sell the most fish to each imperial fishing delivery manager. Once the NPC you prepared to sell fish to has fulfilled their quota for that event cycle, you can change servers, try your luck elsewhere, or wait until the next cycle of the event.

Aside from silver profit, which is variable on the original market price of a fish and the distance you traveled to sell it, Imperial Fishing Delivery NPCs will give you golden seals when delivering fish to them, at a certain rate. These seals can then be exchanged for a myriad of items at a certain NPC.

The following items can be exchanged at NPC Abelin, in the town of Velia.

➤ You can read more about the different types of these seals in the [Golden Seals] page.

Fishing Quests

Finally, you can accept fishing-related quests from a variety of NPCs in the world of Black Desert. First, we recommend that you proceed with the quests you can find in Velia, the first town most Adventurers visit.

It requires some time and effort to complete these quests, but for rewards, you can obtain contribution EXP, fishing EXP, as well as rare items like sharp & hard black crystal shards.   We also recommend that you proceed with advancement quests, called leap quests, to help you reach a higher fishing level.   You can accept the leap quest once you reach the fishing level beginner Lv. 10. Once you’re at this fishing level, summon the Black Spirit and check its guide menu, where you can find the available leap quests for all life skills and you can be guided to the NPC you can receive the quests from more easily by simply pressing them from the list.

Additionally, after completing certain fishing leap quests you will unlock the Honor to the Fishing Family quests. These will reward you valuable and useful items for having completed a leap quest.

◈ Shim Cheong's Miraculous Fish Tank

Fish stored in this fish tank have their price guarantee duration increased by five times, giving you more time before you have to sell it. If you have this item in your bag, fish obtained through fishing will be automatically stored inside. The fish stored in the fish tank can be sold to trade managers and delivered for Imperial Fishing Delivery without the need to take it out of the fish tank.

However, the fish taken out of the fish tank have their price guarantee duration decreased by five times.

You can obtain Shim Cheong's Miraculous Fish Tank by giving 4 Iridescent Shellfish to Shim Cheong at the Sea Palace, off the coast of Land of the Morning Light. The 4 Iridescent Shellfish you need can be obtained via consecutive quests from NPC Dorio in the Sea Palace. Remember that the exchange also requires you to have completed Shim Cheong’s tale first!

You will need to pick a Sailboat or a Frigate early on as it will give you different options of Epheria Carracks you can ultimately upgrade your ship to .  

The basic start er ship for most players is the Bartali Sailboat, however, you can opt to purchase a Sailboat or Frigate registration from the Central Market to skip this step.  

2. Bartali Sailboat  

▲ Bartali Sailboat

The Bartali Sailboat is the most basic of the large ships you can get. It can be purchased from Proix, the owner of the Dancing Marlin Tavern, for 10,000,000 Silver .   You could also go through the questline , that begins from the “Vigorous Velia” quest , with a Lv. 50 or higher character to get a Bartali Sailboat as a quest reward.   

( The actual quest that gives the ship as a reward is called “Jarette's Support .”)  

As mentioned before, you can begin with a Bartali Sailboat and upgrade it all the way up to an Epheria Sailboat or Frigate. However, you could also purchase the ship licenses of Epheria Sailboats and Frigates from the Central Market to skip this part of the process.  

3. Epheria Sailboat / Frigate

▲ Left ) Sailboat , Right ) Frigate  

The Epheria Sailboat and Frigate are on the second stage of the carrack upgrade path .   

As these two ships differ in which type of carracks they can upgrade to, it is an important decision to make.   Sailboats allows you to eventually make the “ Balance” carrack or the “Advance” carrack. The Balance carrack has stats evenly distributed while the Advance carrack is ideal for bartering as it can carry more weight .  

Frigates on the other hand allows you to make the “Valor” carrack or the “Volante” carrack. The Valor carrack is great for sea monster hunting and navy combat while the Volante carrack is the fastest of all the carracks .  

  You could make your own Epheria Sailboat or Frigate, however, it would save you a lot of time to simply purchase one from the Central Market .  

▲ Ship Licenses can be purchased from the Central Market

If you would like to make your own, follow the steps shown below.    

■ How to Upgrade

Register the ship you wish to upgrade at a wharf via the Wharf Manager. Then use the “Upgrade” menu and add all the materials required to upgrade the ship .   

However , you cannot upgrade your ship under the following circumstances :   

- A piece of equipment is not at max durability .   

- The ship has equipment equipped or has items in its Inventory .  

- A sailor is on board the ship.    

■ Upgrade Materials

The equipment required to upgrade the Bartali Sailboat to an Epheria Sailboat or Epheria Frigate can be purchased from Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria. You can then use Black Stone (Armor) to enhance them . When you fail an enhancement attempt, the max durability of the equipment will decrease. You can purchase more of the equipment and use the copies to repair the original’s max durability to full .  

▲ Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria

  Additionally, Sailboats and Frigates can both be improved . Once they are improved, you can use the skills Volley and FocusFire .   

Volley allows you to move the cannons on the left or right and fire them. While FocusFire allows you to fire multiple shots quickly at a location of your choice.  

There are certain upgrade materials that can be obtained by defeating sea monsters. So, having your ship improved will aid you in your endeavor to build a carrack.  

You can improve your ships at the Wharf Manager .  

    ※ However , improving your ship does not change the materials required to upgrade them to a Caravel or Galleass .  

■ Epheria Sailboat, Frigate Upgrade Materials

4. epheria caravel / galleass    .

Once you have obtained your Epheria Sailboat or Frigate, you can then work toward upgrading them to a Caravel or Galleass .

▲ Left ) Epheria Caravel , Right ) Epheria Galleass  

  Caravels have 30 slots and can carry 10,000LT. This makes them great trading and bartering ships .   

On the other hand, the Epheria Galleass has 4 cannons on each side, for a total of 8 cannons, which makes them great for naval combat.    

Both of them can be improved to use the sailing skill Volley while moving, or the  FocusFire skill to fire multiple shots quickly at a location of your choice for massive damage.  

There are certain upgrade materials that can be obtained by defeating sea monsters. So, having your ship improved will aid you in your efforts toward building a carrack.  

The materials required to upgrade your ship to a Caravel or Galleass are listed below .

■ Epheria Caravel, Galleass Upgrade Materials

■ crow’s nest and ravinia    .

You might not have heard of Crow’s Nest or Ravinia at this point in your adventure.  

Crow’s Nest is a small island located north of Tinberra Island .     Once you arrive in Crow’s Nest, you can talk to the NPC “ Ravinia .” She runs the Crow Coin Shop that sells items needed to upgrade large ships.

▲ “ Crow’s Nest” is the island covered in fog, north of Tinberra Island .  

Ravinia also gives the " Ravinia’s Ship Upgrade Log " quests. You can complete these quests to get the materials you need for upgrades.    

    The first quest you get is called “Ravinia’s Ship Upgrade Log I” and the last quest is “ Ravinia’s Ship Upgrade Log VII.” It will take 7 days to accept these quests in order. When you complete each of these quests, Ravinia will reward you with “ Ravinia's Wiggly Waggly Letter .” You use these letters to accept quests from Ravinia. The quests she gives provide upgrade materials required to upgrade Caravels and Galleass .     

The 4 pieces of equipment required to upgrade a Epheria Caravel or Epheria Galleass can be purchased from Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria . The equipment can be enhanced using  “ Verdant Black Stones.” When using Verdant Black Stones to enhance ship equipment, you have a 100% chance to succeed at all levels. You will need Verdant Black Stone x55 to enhance a piece of equipment up to +10, a total of 220 Verdant Black Stones to enhance all four of them .   

You can obtain Verdant Black Stones as follows.

1. Ravinia’s sisters have anchored in Port Epheria (Ruvinia), Velia (Rovinia), and Iliya Island (Revinia). You can exchange Lv. 1 trade goods through Ruvinia, Rovinia, and Revinia for a Crow Merchants Guild's Barter Voucher.      2. Bring the Crow Merchants Guild's Barter Voucher obtained from one of the sisters to Ravinia at the Crow’s Nest to exchange it for Verdant Black Stones. Rumor has it that Morco in Velia will also take Crow Merchants Guild's Barter Vouchers and exchange them for Verdant Black Stones as well. 

5. Epheria Carrack(Balance, Advance, Volante, Valor)    

You can upgrade the Epheria Carrack into four different types, and each vessel bears a unique trait. You can choose to upgrade your Carrack into one that best suits your playstyle .

▲Epheria Carrack : Balance , Volante , Valor , Advance ( Starting Top-left and in clockwise direction )

Each carrack has a different trait.

◆ Epheria Carrack - Balance : A carrack with well-balanced stats .

◆ Epheria Carrack - Volante : An agile carrack with the fastest movement speed .

◆ Epheria Carrack - Valor : A combat-oriented carrack with the highest attack power .

◆ Epheria Carrack - Advance : A carrack with the highest storage capacity, making it most useful for content such as Bartering .

6. Ship Equipment  

You can install the Epheria Caravel and Galleass, along with the four different types of Carrack vessels with ship equipment such as cannon, figurehead, sail, and plating .  

Ship equipment starts at green grade and can be upgraded to blue grade equipment .  

Be sure to purchase and enhance the correct types of ship equipment for Caravels, Galleass, and Carracks.

Please do not use memory fragments to repair this gear. Instead, buy two more base versions from Falasi and use artisan’s memories, it will be much, much cheaper that way.

Thank you very much. Most people don’t realize this and end up spending much more than they need to.

how much does each base version repair?

Every same gear repair gives you 10 Durability recovered, using an Artisan’s Memory will multiply it by 5. So, you know the drill.

Dont use 4/3 Hercules use 3/3 😀 as for Armor go with Zereth Armor cuz it gives 50LT as Item Effect 🙂

A flawed, anger-inducing system. No matter how much weight limit you have, it still takes a ton of clicks to do any sensible management. Revina should count all the white barter items that are in the local storage or onboard your ship and exchange for scrolls accordingly… too sensible, right?
