All of these ships can be upgraded to increase their base stats, including resistances, speed, etc., it also opens up more crew slots for your ship, which will give you additional passive bonuses, so they share a lot of the same upgrade materials or the upgrade items you need come from chests where you can select them for all the different ships. Below are two great ships to use in Lost Ark and how to unlock them. 

Estoque 

The Estoque is the best starting ship recommended by The D Cast, it is a very well-balanced ship whereas the rest of them are kind of specialized ships that are very strong against certain things and then weak against other things. If you are looking for the best ship to start upgrading in Lost Ark, it’s going to be Estoque, it's possible to do all of the missions with the Estoque. So you don't have to worry about not being able to complete any content and all around, it's going to be better than the other ships in some areas, but only slightly weaker in others, the other ships are probably going to be better to upgrade later on in the game. When you have a lot of materials left that you don't really need anymore so that you can get those specialized ships and it's going to be more about efficiency at that point, so you'll be able to take those specialized ships and then run missions with them, that will benefit from those certain resistances, but you won't have to really suffer from the drawbacks. So starting off, Estoque is going to be your best ship, just go ahead and fully upgrade the Estoque, it’s relatively sturdy and has a lot of durabilities. In addition, Astray can also help you past everything.

Eibern's Wound

The Eibern's Wound or Ghost Ship is also one of the best ships in Lost Ark, Cauttyh thinks it’s very durable and resistant to dead water, which means you are not going to get affected by sandstorms and you are going to be able to see where you are going, and your ship is not going to die every single time you are trying to wait for an island to pop up.
