Best goods for ship building

[whosyourdaddy]

So far i only use rubies to build ship cause it raise all three stats the highest that i know of (im not done exploring the world so maybe im wrong). But, some ships already have max stat (i only know Galleass atm, it has max arms stat) and i think it will be a waste to use rubies for that kind of ships. Can someone tell me what is the best goods for each stat?

If you're making it from a blueprint you don't need any goods to get a rare. The amount of days a ship takes correlates to whether or not it's a rare. For instance, a Ship of the line takes 50 days but a rare one is 65 days. If you have tons of money you can just keep ordering and cancelling until you see 65 days or you can just save scum if you're thrifty.

If you're just talking about blind shipbuilding with random parts, Rubies are the best all rounders but to be honest I don't really know what those arms/exp/trade stats do other than speculation that it can possibly hone in on the type of ship you can build. Damascus knives are the best I have seen for arms, no clue about exp or trade.

I already gave up the blind one. I spend 2 or 3 superb with rubies and all i get is a medium ship (forgot the name tho). For the blueprint, I thought the goods will raise your chance to get rare one, or it doesn't matter at all?

I've used A LOT of rubies. And a LOT nothing at all. Thousands of tries total spread around different ports and I've never noticed any particular difference. Doesn't mean there isn't any, especially since RNG is RNG. But pretty sure the whole ship building system was meant to be deeper than it ended up as.

Blue and White Porcelain from Hanzhou gives a lot of Trade stat. Good if you just want Trade related traits for a ship.

the type pf goods used tp boost the arms trade or explore values has to do with the traits of the ship you might get as far as i understand but not entirely sure
