Shipfitting

While the construction of ships is the province of a shipwright, it is the Shipfitting expert who transforms a generic, bog-standard craft into a truly inspiring vessel worthy of the most fearsome pirate captains or magnanimous mariners.

The skill of Shipfitting concerns itself with all manner of ship-related improvements, whether it be the creation and manipulation of various naval equipment and weapons, girding the vessel against the horrors of the deep, or even decorating the hull and sails in a colourful shades. Transcendent shipfitters can even deconstruct entire ships!

To become a professional shipfitter, you must be trained by one of the ship commissioners found around the world.

The skill of Shipfitting is a trade skill and available to all adventurers.

One knowledgeable enough in the ways of shipfitting can use their scales to disguise a ship, such that wandering seamonsters will not rise from the deeps to investigate their passing. Doing so will require two hundred handfuls of scales. Note well: This will not prevent an already-present seamonster from attacking your ship, it will only prevent new seamonsters from rising to the surface.
