How to Build a Wharf in Windrose?

The Wharf in Windrose is needed to customize, repair, and upgrade all the ships in the game. You can construct the Wharf using 10 Wood and 10 Coarse Fabric from the Utilities section of your build menu.

However, this blueprint is locked at the start of the game. You must first complete a couple of quests and progress to a third one to even get the blueprint. Feeling confused? Don’t! In this guide, we’ll tell you each and every step you need to take to build your very own Wharf.

Part 1: How to Unlock the Wharf Blueprint

The Wharf is not available by default and cannot be found in the wild. You must progress the main story.

1. Complete the main quests I Need A Bigger Boat and Rescuing the Crew

These quests need to be completed to progress to the Seafarer questline.

2. Accept the Seafarer quest

You will get the quest immediately after completing the I Need A Bigger Boat quest.

3. Build a Shipwright’s Workshop using 15 Wood, 10 Coarse Fabric, and 5 Copper Ingots

This is the first objective of the Seafarer questline.

4. Construct a roof directly over the Shipwright’s Workshop, so the game allows you to use it

Or you can construct the Shipwright’s Workshop under a roof to begin with. Either way, a roof is necessary.

5. Interact with the Shipwright’s Workshop

It will give you three construction options, and you must complete one to progress.

6. Craft at least one 12-pounder Cannon

We recommend the cannon, as it will be useful after the Wharf is constructed.

Part 2: How to Build the Wharf

Once the 12-pounder Cannon finishes crafting, the game will silently add the Wharf to your building manual.

1. Gather 10 Wood by chopping down trees

You need to have at least 10 Wood in your inventory.

2. Gather 10 Coarse Fabric by processing plant fiber at a standard Workbench

Alternatively, you can do these steps prior as well, but it’s better to know the reason for foraging.

3. Walk to the coastline near your base bonfire

Being at the coastline is paramount.

4. Press “B” on your keyboard to open the Build Menu

If you’re using alternate controls, press the assigned key for Build Menu.

5. Navigate to the Crafting and Utilities tab and select the Utilities sub-menu

Now you will be able to finally see Wharf on your screen.

6. Select the Wharf blueprint

It’s located right next to the Fast Travel Bell.

7. Place the Wharf directly in the water near the shore

It’s essential to place the Wharf at the shore since it won’t work anywhere else.
