How to complete I Need a Bigger Boat in Windrose

The I Need a Bigger Boat quest in Windrose is key to getting a new (and bigger) ship for you to sail on your adventures, and completing the task can be slightly tricky.

You get access to the quest quite early once you finish the tutorial quest. However, you'll first want to complete the Rescuing the Crew quest. The reason is simple: you'll need a crew to repair the ship.

Let's look at how you can repair and get yourself a bigger ship in the game.

The first part of the task involves finding the broken ships lying around the second island. You'll find one on the north-west shore (not shown on the map). If you interact with it, you'll get to know that it can't be repaired. Thankfully, there are two other ships that you can find. Based on which route you take, there's a chance for you to miss the unrepairable ship as well.

To make your life simpler, you can track the quest from the menu. This will reveal the location of the ships that can be repaired with the correct resources. The second ship (the first repairable one) is located in the middle of the second island.

The zone will have plenty of enemies, so you should be careful. You'll find its location in the image above to make your life easier. You'll find several areas patrolling the ship, so be careful. Try to isolate before finishing them off.

When you interact with the ship, you'll learn about the requirements. You're going to need the following materials.

  • 100 Wood
  • 20 Nails
  • 20 Coarse Fabric
  • 10 Ropes

However, you're going to need to unlock the location of the third wrecked ship (the second repairable one). The location will also be marked on the map. Once you've discovered all three ships, you can start with your repairs. You need to repair just one ship and go for the second one (the first repairable one). By now, you should have all the resources and the crew needed for the repairs.

Interact with the ship with all the required items, and you will be able to complete the repairs. Once repaired, return to the first island and speak with Doctor Galen. He will tell you about the need to recover the artifact from the prologue.

This will complete the I Need a Bigger Boat quest and unlock the Seafarer tutorial. The next quest will give you a proper introduction to exploring the sea and traveling to uncharted lands.
