Sailing Era |How to buy lightweight keel
As you progress through the Shizuma arc, shipbuilding missions that require lightweight keel and lightweight masts will occur. It took me, as an amateur, almost a week to realize that I couldn’t find it just by looking for the port. I collected fragmentary information by googling and finally succeeded in purchasing it through trial and error. For someone like me, who has only played action-type physical games, this kind of game genre is a struggle every day to the extent that my brain juice comes out.

But it is good.

What is a lightweight keel
For those of you reading this article, I don’t think there’s much need for an explanation, but I’ll touch on it a little with the information I’ve researched. A lightweight keel is one of the ship materials required when building a ship. Shipbuilding requires four types of ship materials, and the ship materials differ depending on the type of ship.
At this stage, we will purchase and prepare the necessary ship materials according to the ship’s blueprints, which are called technical documents. In order to prepare for this, you will have to purchase it at a ship material store, but it is only available at a limited number of ports, and the ship materials that are handled differ depending on the store.
If you proceed with this work in the quiet room, the goal of building an Arab schooner will appear in the instory mission “There is a top above”. In order to carry out this mission, four ship materials are required, and general-purpose canvas, lightweight keel, lightweight mast, and teak material must be prepared.

The lightweight keel and lightweight mast can only be purchased at specific ports, and when I looked it up on the capture site WIKI, it was as follows. “The amount of information seems to be small, so we cannot deny the possibility that there are others, but please refer to them.”
Port name | lightweight mast | lightweight keel |
Goa | 〇 | ✕ |
Kolkata | ✕ | 〇 |
Trieste | 〇 | ✕ |
Plymouth | ✕ | 〇 |
Zadin | 〇 | ✕ |
Jamaica | 〇 | 〇 |
Conditions for obtaining light keel
I myself have been wandering around looking for a lightweight keel for about a week. “You shouldn’t be able to find it even if you search around the port and check what the ship material store sells.” This is because such special ship materials do not appear in stores until the technology of the port has developed beyond a certain level. “In addition, it seems that not all ports that appear have the same conditions.”
If you’re familiar with this kind of game genre, you’ll notice this rule, but I have to say that it’s a first-timer’s mission for beginners.
How to get a light keel
This mission requires a lot of time and money, so I had to earn money by various means while embarking on it. “Please refer to the link below for articles on money policy for beginners.”
The light mast and teak materials required for the ship can be obtained by raising Zardin’s port technology, so as the title suggests, we will focus on the “lightweight keel”. The procedure for obtaining it is as follows, and I would like to explain it with images.
- Arrive at the port where the light keel appears
- Open a merchant guild
- Invest in technology with guilds you open
- When the technical value reaches the target value, purchase it at the ship material shop
To put it simply, you can get it by following the four steps above. You will need the power to dedicate.
① Arrive at the port where the lightweight keel appears
I chose Jamaica. “The reason is very simple: I happened to be traveling to the Caribbean in search of a lightweight keel.” And Jamaica is also a port where both light keel and mast appear, so I wanted to confirm the conditions for their appearance.


As you can see from the two images above, Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean Sea. I was able to arrive with a fleet of three ships (ocean ship, Arab sailing ship, Arab sailing ship).
② Open a merchant guild
Ports have three elements: population, technology, and trade, and opening a guild makes it possible to develop these elements. Of course, we cannot expect the development of the port just by opening it, and we will develop it by investing. Unlike the stock market in the real world, if you invest in it, it will surely develop, so there will be no profit or loss.
Preparing to open a merchant guild
In order to open a merchant guild, it is necessary to obtain a permit in the administrative district as shown in the image below. “The condition is that the contribution value of the port must be 200 or more.”

There are two ways to earn port contribution values.
- Complete the quest at the merchant guild in the commercial district
- Report Findings by District
In general, you will be fulfilling the request in the merchant guild. “The contents of the request are as shown in the image below, so we need money to purchase them.” If you carry out the request and submit it within the deadline, you will be paid more than the money you spent in addition to the contribution value of the port. This can be used to simply earn money, and it will also be possible to trade the port’s specialty products (products that are not usually sold in stores), so it can be said that it is a request that cannot be ignored.

Opening a guild also requires preparation of 2 types of goods and 5000 money. “If you can open it successfully, the merchant guild will appear in the port menu.” “From now on, I will concentrate on increasing the technical value of the port.”

③ Invest in technology in the established guild
Come on, I still need money. The guild established from here will invest money in industrial investment. “Let’s face it with the spirit of pouring it into a night town sister.”

How to invest in industry
If you select Industrial Investment, the screen will switch to the one below. From the left, trade, population, and technology are displayed, but they are divided vertically into three as marked in the image below.

It’s hard to notice when you’re playing with a controller, but you can see that you can invest in each by left-clicking on the part where the bank is written with the mouse. This has led to the development of the three categories.

If you select the technology block on the far right, you can set the investment amount. Here you decide the amount and invest, but it should be noted that the invested amount will be consumed, so development will stop when it reaches 0.

Once you’ve invested in technology, get into the habit of returning to Jamaica regularly to check it out.

④ When the technical value reaches the target value, purchase it at the ship material shop
In Jamaica, tech 600 released the light mast, and tech 700 released the light keel, as shown in the image below. According to the strategy site WIKI, ship materials will be released until technology 800, so if you think about the future, it might be a good idea to release them at some point.

Building an Arab Schooner
Once you have all the materials, return to Calicut and place your order. “It took 20 days to complete, so it would be nice to raise money in a nearby area or go out to look for a port.”

That’s all for now. “Let’s meet again in another article.” “I hope that this article will be of some help.”
