Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced Ship Skins

Ship skins in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are cosmetic customizations for the Jackdaw, acquired through legendary ship encounters, buried treasure maps, fleet trade missions, and harbor vendors across the Caribbean. These cosmetic options do not change the offensive or defensive statistics of your vessel, but they alter colors, sail designs, figureheads, steering wheels, and crew uniforms.

To customize the vessel, speak to any Harbourmaster or access the desk inside your ship's cabin after completing the main story quest "Raise the Black Flag." In the Harbourmaster menu, select "Upgrade Ship" and open the "Appearance" tab to equip or remove collected ship parts.

How Do You Unlock Legendary Ship Sets?

Defeating high-level warships awards full cosmetic sets directly to your inventory. The Caribbean hosts four legendary naval battles, each guarded by distinct combat encounters that reward unique thematic hulls, wheels, and figureheads.

Conquering legendary ships grants 12,000 Reales alongside a displayable ship model inside the Great Inagua mansion. The HMS Prince skin set serves as the primary visual foundation if you want to turn the Jackdaw into a dark pirate vessel matching the Black Pearl aesthetic.

Where Are the Buried Treasure and Hidden Ship Cosmetics Located?

Treasure maps and secret ocean chests provide decorative hull designs, figureheads, and steering wheels. Many of these require retrieving maps from skeletons on distant islands before you can excavate the rewards, while others rest in unmarked waters.

• Aveline Figurehead: Located north of Corozal Island at coordinates 282, 92. Dive into the open ocean without a map marker to loot the seabed chest containing this figurehead and the Explorer outfit.
• Gilded Hull: Requires the buried treasure map found on Misteriosa near the viewpoint. Sail down to Kingston, run to the southeastern shoreline near the wrecked hull in the sand, and dig up the chest. It pairs with the blue and gold Gilded Sails purchased at the harbor shop.
• Ivory Wheel: Requires the treasure map on Cumberland Bay near the coastal palm trees. Travel east to Pinos Isle and dig beside the stone ruins doorway near the synchronized viewpoint.
• Queen Anne Figurehead: Retrieved by grabbing the skeleton map along the dried canal in Havana, then digging near the rum bottles where the city stone wall meets the southern beach.
• Obsidian Sails and Helm of the Night Owl: Found on Black Island at coordinates 915, 617 under the northeastern coastline arch. Digging this cache requires restoring the yellowed map at your hideout.

How Do You Restore Trade Maps for Ship Skins?

Restoring maps through the Treasure Dealer in Great Inagua is required to locate the rarest cosmetic plans. The vendor sets up his stall on the docks once your hideout becomes operational.

The Obsidian set requires ten yellowed map pieces. These pieces drop exclusively from trade missions marked with a balance scale icon inside Kenway's fleet. These missions require schooners to complete. Two map pieces appear per region across five operational zones. Clear regional naval forts to open new trade missions, collect the necessary ten fragments, and pay 100 aloe alongside 500 Reales to assemble the completed Black Island chart.

The Altaïr Figurehead is purchased directly from the restored Treasure Dealer inventory in exchange for specialized trade cargo and animal pelts.

Which Ship Skin Setup Matches Your Playstyle?

Choosing a cosmetic design lets you personalize your naval presence while completing naval contracts across contested waters.

How Do You Unlock the Deceased Skeleton Crew?

The Deceased Crew attire is a Legendary crew skin that transforms all sailors aboard the Jackdaw into skeletons. It is sold by a secret vendor on an unmarked island situated south of Andreas Island and east of Havana, positioned within the ocean zone between the diving site and the bull shark hunting waters.

The merchant requires 206 animal bones to purchase the uniform. You can harvest these bones by hunting wildlife across the Caribbean or purchase them directly from the Treasure Dealer on Great Inagua. The dealer charges 1,000 Reales per bone, meaning buying the entire supply outright costs 206,000 Reales. Upgrading the hideout Fisherman's Wharf doubles resources gathered from marine harpooning, significantly accelerating animal bone farming if you choose to hunt rather than spend silver. Once purchased, equip the outfit by opening the appearance menu at a Harbourmaster and navigating to the Crew tab.

Where Do Promotional and Project Ship Skins Come From?

Alternative sails, wheels, and companions unlock through promotional codes, edition bonuses, and the Animus menu. Official redemption support from the Steam store page confirms cross-platform bonus rewards distributed to commemorate player milestones.
