How the Calculator Works
Upgrading the Jackdaw in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced requires careful resource management. With over 309,800 Reales, 4,755 Metal, 2,750 Wood, and 550 Cloth needed for a full upgrade, planning ahead saves hours of grinding.
Our interactive calculator lets you select your target upgrade level for each category, instantly showing you exactly what resources you need. Track which Ultimate Plans you've collected, see what's left to find, and prioritize upgrades based on community-vetted recommendations.
Best Upgrade Priority Order
- Armored Hull — Survivability first. A sunk ship does zero damage.
- Broadside Cannons — More cannons = faster kills = more loot.
- Round & Heated Shot — Damage multiplier for your main weapon.
- Mortar — Essential for taking forts safely from range.
- Heavy Shot & Ram — Close-range devastation for finishing fights.
Pro tip: Always board ships instead of sinking them — you get 2-3x more resources. The Hunter Ship farming loop near a captured fort yields ~1,500 Metal/hour.
