Guanchuan Blueprint?

[Field Emergent Rescue]

Can someone please tell me how to get Guanchuan Blueprint? I've been farming Guanchuan on the sea with scatter shot for hour now... Many thanks!

I think you need an officer to trade the blueprint with other ship.
That is how I got my Atakebune/Ironclad ship blueprint.

Interesting, thanks for replying. I will give it a shot.

I don't recall getting it from another ship... make sure to check the Commerce Guild quests at every port (especially the ones with extra services / barmaids) as they will offer special quests for premium goods in exchange for various blueprints (you can also get different cannons and masts this way)

Got mine from negotiating with other fleets.

Thanks, Managed to find Shachuan blueprint from the Commerce Guild in China. Still no luck finding Guanchuan thou...

I've tried to negotiate with all the Guanchuan fleet sail past, but none of them seems to offer it... My luck must be pretty bad. But thanks for confirm its possible drop.

I got it from one of the trade convoys with white sails between japan and china.

As the current game is, reloading might be necessary for them to spawn.

Look further abroad. Sakai has a quest for the Fu*chuan blueprint (10 premium Korean Wood). I can't remember exactly but I think Guangchuan may have been Gia Dinh (10 premium Teak Wood)?

guangchuan and guanchuan are 2 different ships (and blueprint).

[Edwyndham]

Oh, I see. Well, guess I'll keep an eye out for it myself then.

Save scum might help you speed up finding the blueprint.
Just "save" before interact with the fleets. If nothing good for trade then reload.
Note that if you already interact with them then reload will not help,

There is certain named fleet to get the Guanchuan blueprints (I can't remember the fleet name). However it's always sailing between Nagasaki, Haizhou and Zhangzhou. Try patrolling between those docks and negotiate every fleet you encounter or just doing corsair bounty to get the necessary ship materials first while check the passing fleets in those area.

You can either trade the blueprints(using equipments) or attack the fleet to get the blueprints.

- There is also a named fleet(consist of 3-5 ships) carrying Atakabune blueprints, I spotted it in Taiwan strait between Zhangzhou, Tamsui and Anping (Going pass Hangzhou and to Korea) but it's rarely spawn. Same strategy either trade it or attack the fleets

I just got one from a random non named trade fleet near Athens through negotiation.

Thanks for your answer. I gave up after farming for a whole day without any luck. Ended up just getting the Fuchuan as #Edwyndham suggested. It's a lot better than my current ship anyway.
