A guide on how to spend your hard-earned resources efficiently in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, focusing on the best Jackdaw upgrades for hull defense, long-range mortars, and ammo capacity as detailed by Polygon.
Sailing the open seas as a pirate captain means your ship is your lifeline, and keeping the Jackdaw battle ready in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced requires some strategic resource management. Real estate on the high seas is competitive, and resources like wood, metal, cloth, and reales are scarce early on. Visiting Harbourmasters to drop your hard earned materials into the right upgrades will save you from sinking hours of grinding into dead ends. According to a recent guide by Polygon, knowing where to direct your funds first can completely change your progression curve and make naval combat a lot smoother.
Your primary focus when outfitting the Jackdaw should be sinking resources into the Armored Hull. Damage is unavoidable in this game, whether you are trading broadsides with a Man o' War or misjudging a turn and scraping a reef, so higher damage resistance is nonnegotiable for survival. Once your defenses are sorted, prioritize the Mortar. While it takes some practice to master the timing, the mortar is easily the best weapon on the ship because it lets you whittle down enemy fleets and lay siege to heavily guarded forts from a safe distance before closing in for the kill.
After securing your long range offense, you want to invest in your broadside cannons and ammunition storage. Upgrading your broadside cannons increases your overall firepower across round, heated, and heavy shot types, giving you a reliable bread and butter attack option. Pair this with Heavy Shot and Mortar Storage upgrades so you are never caught empty handed mid battle. Finally, do not neglect your secondary activities, as prioritizing the Harpoon and Harpoon Storage upgrades will make hunting apex marine life much easier and keep your crafting progression moving forward.
