See also HELP SHIP EQUIPMENT and HELP SHIP TYPES

While the construction of ships is the province of a shipwright, it is the Shipfitting expert who transforms a generic, bog-standard craft into a truly inspiring vessel worthy of the most fearsome pirate captains or magnanimous mariners.

The skill of Shipfitting concerns itself with all manner of ship-related improvements, whether it be the creation and manipulation of various naval equipment and weapons, girding the vessel against the horrors of the deep, or even decorating the hull and sails in a colourful shades. Transcendent shipfitters can even deconstruct entire ships!

To become a professional shipfitter, you must be trained by one of the ship commissioners found around the world.

You must be above level 10 to access the shipfitting tradeskill.
