Harvest Routes

Ironwood grows near Eastern island clusters, certain salvage caches, and contract-adjacent nodes. Combine harvesting with your contract loop to avoid dedicated trips.

Route Checklist

Plan a loop that passes at least two ironwood groves.
Carry lightweight tools; ironwood logs add up quickly.
Deposit logs at port before they push cargo beyond 70%.

Crafting Priorities

Use your first batches of ironwood on speed modules—Wind/Gale Catcher frames and Gwenith Glide supports. Hull reinforcements come later once helm-and-Extractor spacing is locked.

Weight Management

Keep crafted parts lightweight to avoid slowing the ship.
Always place helm/Extractor first, then speed parts.
Track how many logs each upgrade consumes to avoid mid-build shortages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ironwood rare?

Not rare, but location-dependent. Farm near your contract routes to save time.

What should I craft first?

Wind/Gale Catcher frames if you need tailwind speed; Gwenith Glide supports if deck space is tight.

Can heavy builds hurt helm uptime?

Yes—excess weight slows you and disrupts 5-tick routines. Keep cargo low and plan placement around helm/Extractor lanes.

How do I track ROI?

Use the homepage calculator to see how faster loops translate into GP/hr gains after installing ironwood upgrades.

Does ironwood matter on Galleons?

Yes—Gale Catcher frames consume a lot of wood. Plan harvest routes before upgrading big hulls.
