do I have to apply elite design plans?

[higbort]

I just got the elite harpoon strength from a buried chest and dont know where to apply the upgrade... do i need to or is it automatic? there is still only 3 little upgrade bars for the harpoon strength in the ship upgrade menu.

Elite is the maximum upgrade.
You have to unlock the previous one first.

The elite blueprints are found in chests or can be bypassed with the time saver technology pack. The time saver may no longer be available.

yeah, is the elite upgrade the 3rd or 4th upgrade slot for the harpoon damage?

elite status is the final slot for any Jackdaw upgrade, so it would be the fourth.

i meant the final slot for harpoon strength would be elite, my bad, I should've clarified.

the number of slots should not change, but you wouldn't be able to upgrade the harpoon strength to elite without the plans (or as The Dukenator said, without the technology pack).

if you didn't have the elite plans, the upgrade would have a red string of text that reads something like "required: elite harpoon plans". now that you have the plans, that red string should have a line through it, meaning you're able to upgrade that part of the Jackdaw.

i had the 3rd slot unlocked already. i dont think i have the technology pack because there are other jackdaw upgrades that i cant unlock without the blueprints yet.

edit: yes, the pack is in my DLC because i bought the gold edition recently. weird that it doesnt unlock every locked technology available...

Time saver technology pack unlocks all elite ship blueprints, skipping the need to find the blueprints scattered around the game.

One ship upgrade is from playing the fleet game. All others requires maps to locate.

The other time saver packs would show all collectibles/activities on the map. One increases the cargo limit to 2500.

The same timer saver packs appear in Rogue.
