Wondering About The Best Crew for Astray Ship in Lost Ark? Well, Read On To Find Out!
Smilegate Studios’ Lost Ark has taken only a few years to become one of the most played games in the MMORPG genre. In Lost Ark, the player sets out on a long-lasting journey in which they explore new areas using the best ships, plunder treasures, and create their legacy. Since ships are a major part of Lost Ark it’s essential to know the best crews for Astray, Estoque, Nightmare Ghost Ship, and many more.
- In Lost Ark, having a reliable ship like the Astray Ship enhances exploration efficiency.
- Constructing an Astray Ship demands various resources and fees, requiring significant time for gathering.
- Crew members are essential for ship operations and impact immunity stats.
- Blackfang, Barakas, Willhelm, and Rosa stand out as top sailors for your crew, each obtainable through distinct procedures.
Blackfang (Relic)
- Why I Chose This: The beneficial stat enhancements it provides on top of the increase in speed.
First up in my Lost Ark Best Astray crew, I have the Blackfang (Relic). The biggest key point of this crew member is that it adds extra speed knots to your already fast Astray Ship. While making your Astray Ship considerably faster the Blackfang (Relic) will also increase your ship’s Kelp Beds. The Astray Ship’s Sandstorm Seas resistance will also increase.
Stats
- Kelp Beds +11
- Sandstorm Seas +8
- Siren Seas +7
- Cold Snap Seas -2
- Tempest Seas -9
- Dead Water -15
- Speed Knots +2.3
How To Get Blackfang Relic
You can find Blackfang at the Blackfang’s Den located in Platina Ocean in the southwest and Anikka Island’s south on the map of Lost Ark. You need to go inside her den to get her quest and unlock her. Doing so will allow you to appoint her as a sailor as well.
- Boosts speed.
- Kelp bed increase.
- Improves survivability.
- Decrease in Cold snap seas, Tempest seas, and Dead waters resistance.
Barakas (Relic)
- Why I Chose This: The overall improvement in survivability and the enhancement in specific resistances.
Next up on the best crew for Astray Ship is the Barakas (Relic). Despite making your ship vulnerable against Kelp Beds, Barakas will help your Astray’s resistance against Siren Seas by enhancing its immunity. This is where your ship may get stunned if you wander for too long. Barakas (Relic) further helps with that by boosting speed knots to your Astray Ship. Furthermore, the sailor will also enhance each Cold Snap Seas and Dead Water resistance.
Stats
- Kelp Beds -16
- Sandstorm Seas (No change)
- Siren Seas +21
- Cold Snap Seas +12
- Tempest Seas +1
- Dead Water +12
- Speed Knots +1.6
How To Get Barakas Relic
The Barakas Relic can be obtained from Gador. You can get him by completing the Yorn Adventure Tome. Furthermore, the relic is found in Punika Port and in the Spearfish HuntingGuild Ship. You will need 14,428 Sun Coins to get it.
- Reduces vulnerability to stuns.
- Enhances cold snap seas and dead water resistance.
- Increase overall speed.
- Reduces kelp bed stat by -16.
Barakas (Legendary)
- Why I Chose This: The significant improvements in speed and resistance against various sea conditions.
I recommend the Legendary variant of Barakas when choosing the crew for Astray Ship. Even though it’s not as strong as its superior rarity (Relic), it still adds greatly to your ship. With additional speed knots, your Astray Ship will be flying across the Oceans in Lost Ark.
The Astray ship will have further resistance against the Siren Seas. Alongside that, the vessel will have an increased resistance against Cold Snap Seas and Dead Waters as well.
Stats
- Kelp Beds -2
- Sandstorm Seas -11
- Siren Seas +16
- Cold Snap Seas +9
- Tempest Seas -2
- Dead Water +9
- Speed Knots +1.3
How To Get Barakas Legendary
You can get the Legendary Barakas from Gador at the Stronghold. It’s available for 7870 Raid Seal in the Random Sale.
- 1.3 knots increase in speed.
- Siren seas, cold snap seas, and dead water resistance increase.
- Reduces kelp beds and sandstorm sea resistance.
Willhelm (Legendary)
- Why I Chose This: The overall durability increase allows for traveling through hazardous sea environments.
I have chosen another Legendary sailor known as ‘Wilhelm’. Wilhelm is great for adding more resistance to your Astray Ship. The speed stats saw a major boost with Blackfang and Barakas, so that shouldn’t be a concern anymore.
With Wilhelm on board, your Astray Ship will have an increased resistance against sandstorm seas, tempest seas, and cold snap seas. That’s not all; the sailor will also add resistance against Dead water.
Stats
- Kelp Beds -12
- Sandstorm Seas +14
- Siren Seas -12
- Cold Snap Seas +14
- Tempest Seas +14
- Dead Water +17
- Speed Knots +0.3
How To Get The Wilhelm Relic
You can get it in Punika Port from the Plumbcrab Fishing Guild Ship. It is available for 144,288 Pirate Coins.
- Increases resistance against Sandstorm Seas, Tempest Seas, Cold Snap Seas, and Dead Water.
- Increase in overall durability.
- Minimal speed increase.
- Reduces kelp beds and siren sea resistance.
Rosa (Epic)
- Why I Chose This: Unique availability and resistance boosts allow for navigating challenging sea conditions.
Lastly, I have Rosa (Epic), which is unique and does not come in any other rarity, so be ready to grind a bit to acquire her. Rosa will make a moderate increase in resistance against Kelp Beds and resistance against Sandstorm Seas.
The major contribution Rosa will add to your Astray Ship will be her resistance against Dead Water and resistance against Tempest Seas. However, her big slash of resistance against Siren Seas makes her the most expendable sailor in my best crew of Astray Ship in Lost Ark.
Stats
- Kelp Beds +3
- Sandstorm Seas +1
- Siren Seas -14
- Cold Snap Seas -4
- Tempest Seas +9
- Dead Water +16
- Speed Knots +0.2
How To Get Rosa Epic
You can acquire Rosa when you visit Atropos Island and interact with Brandy. She is available for 20,040 Purate Coin.
You can also get her from Kalthertz Island and she will be a part of a random reward between the Released Prisoners Pouch and Gratuitous Reward Chest.
Even though this will require a lot of game time to unlock the Astray Ship and recruit all the top-tier sailors but once you’re done with it the oceans will not be able to stop your might!
- Increase in kelp beds and sandstorm sea resistance.
- Dead water and tempest sea resistance enhancement.
- Reduction in Siren seas and cold snap seas resistance.
- Increases vulnerability.
Conclusion
That wraps up my list of the best crew for the Astray Ship in Lost Ark. I promise you that your Lost Ark experience will be greatly enhanced once you try the Astray Ship with the mentioned crew. If speed is a necessity then there’s no better ship than the Astray in Lost Ark.
