Ship Gear is equipped to improve ship stats to make sailing, barter, and sea monster hunting better.
Ship Parts Increase Ship Stats:
- Cannon: Damage & Durability
- Plating: Weight Limit& Defense
- Figurehead: Speed & Defense
- Sail: Turn & Rations
IMPORTANT: +10 Epheria Ship Gear from Port Epheria is required to upgrade an Epheria Sailboat or Epheria Frigate to a Caravel or Galleass.
Old Epheria Ship Gear of green grade were introduced with The Great Expedition Update on 23 October 2019 and have received several improvements since.

Purchase Epheria Ship Gear from Philaberto Falasiin Port Epheria.
Price ranges from 3 to 4 million silver for each part.
Enhancement is fairly easy, although they do require special Black Stones called Tidal Black Stones.

Epheria Ship Gear Enhancement
Enhancement for Epheria Ship Gear is straight forward. There is no RNG. Enhancement is 100% chance to succeed at all enhancement levels.
If you would like to upgrade to a Galleass or Caravel ship, you will need 20 Tidal Black Stones, after obtaining 20 from Ravinia’s quest line.
10x Tidal Black Stone is used to enhance each Epheria Old Ship Gear to +10.
+10 Epheria Old Figurehead/Cannon/Plating/Sail is required for upgrading a Sailboat/Frigate to a Caravel/Galleass.
| Black Stone | Enhancement | Durability Cost | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tidal Black Stone | +1 to +10 | 10 |
The enhancement level does NOT drop and never fails.
| Enhancement (100% Chance) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Lv | Durability Cost | Black Stone |
| +1 | 10 | 1 |
| +2 | 10 | 1 |
| +3 | 10 | 1 |
| +4 | 10 | 1 |
| +5 | 10 | 1 |
| +6 | 10 | 1 |
| +7 | 10 | 1 |
| +8 | 10 | 1 |
| +9 | 10 | 1 |
| +10 | 10 | 1 |
| 100 | 10 | |
If you would like to upgrade to a Galleass or Caravel ship, you will need a total of 40 Tidal Black Stones.
You will need Memory Fragments or the same ship gear to repair Max Durability. If you want to save on silver cost, you can use an optional pearl shop item called Artisan’s Memory.
- Each same gear repairs 10 Max Durability or 50 Max Durability using Artisan’s Memory.
- Each Memory Fragment repairs 5 Max Durability or 25 Max Durability using Artisan’s Memory.
Max Durability cost for each enhancement level is always 10. Total Max Durability you will need to repair is 100 for each ship part.
Which Ship Gear to Upgrade First?
IMHO upgrade the Plating first.
Plating is the primary way to increase both bartering weight capacity and defense of the ship for sea monster battles.
My Upgrade Priority:
- Plating: Weight Limit& Defense
- Cannon: Damage & Durability
- Sail: Turn & Rations
- Figurehead: Speed & Defense

Tidal Black Stone is obtained via barter, sailing quests, or sea monster hunting.

Tidal Black Stone is a rare drop from hunting sea monsters.
Young and Hungry Sea Monsters are easier than the adults, but also have lower drop rates.

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.

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

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?
