Castle PVP Setup Question

Using 21 Ablative plates, 5% Plates of Armor Gem, and my dodge is at 95%. (sometimes use Agate to farm BP)

Is it better to use the Reinforced Hull for extra hp or Adamantine Hull for more damage prevention for PVP setup?

When I use Reinforced hull and light of Tortuga my HP is over 4m. 78% damage prevention.

If I use adamantine hull my hp is under 4m but 98% damage prevention.

 

*PER RYMAR*

When it comes to PvP:

• Gems on ship: Hit prob, damage, damage prevention, dodge chance
• Gems on pet: hit prob, dodge chance
• Castles: Standard setup (there is no difference between PvP and PvE in my case)
• Extension items: two options, Option 1: Ravens Only (for max dodge), Option 2: Ablative Platings (for max HP)

To provide you with a bit more details, you need to select what type of a player you are:

• You rather have more HP but lower def.
• You rather have higher def. but lower HP

Both options have its own advantages and disadvantages.

Below I'll show you what I am using on my PvP setup (I run HP, option 1).







This combined with Light of Tortuga provide me a lot of HP, and mixed with Hour Glass or Sands of Time makes me unsinkable especially on a map change

Regarding "0" damage on high end maps, you'll have to own a lot of % towards damage prevention, something like 128 - 134% should be enough for most of the NPCs found within higher maps. This can be achieved by various buffs, castles, skills etc. (everything in dodge and damage prevention) + a set of Ablative Plating's L6 (if you can place 22 or more of them at once, if no then stick to Ribs L6).

If you have any further questions feel free to ask (-:

Your fellow pirate Slacker57xx already provided you with a set of mine ^^, if you have any further questions feel free to ask.

I personally would take the HP castle because that 250 000 turns into 525,000 when used with Ablative Platings L6.

Yes, I saw this message you made couple days ago on a different forum post. But I was just confused how you talked about HIGH HP build with Ablative Plating but your castle in the screenshot is Adamantine Hull for damage prevention. Thanks Rymar I will switch my build to HP castle.

I just want to add a quick side note here.

I know this might be a bit controversial, but I like to take off Centerboard and run Damage Prevention and HP with Reloader. If I’m in wars, I’ll run Centerboard—but honestly, if you’re not maxed on speed with it, there’s almost no point. It’s better to have that slight tankiness. That said, I’d say Ablative Plates are a must if you’re running HP. Without the plating, I’d 100% go with Centerboard.

Do you have any further questions or can I close this thread?
