Your ship is an integral part of sailing in Lost Ark. You will find yourself exploring the vast world and discovering many new islands and continents. As you get further out to sea, the ocean becomes more dangerous, and you will need to upgrade your ship to proceed further.
To upgrade your ship, go to the port and dock your ship. In the top-right corner of the screen, you will see the Upgrade button. Select this to bring up the upgrade menu. Here, you can see the total cost to upgrade your ship, new skills, and increases to its stats once upgraded. Press OK if you want to upgrade your ship.

You can only upgrade your ship while sitting in port. Upgrading your ship is a good way to increase how long you can stay out at sea and its resistance. Some waters can be hazardous, especially for low-level ships.
Upgrading your ship can be expensive, so it is a good idea to start saving the necessary materials as early as possible. Then, once you have enough resources, upgrade your ship and sail farther than ever before!
