After obtaining the Astray, it is very important to upgrade it to improve speed and hazard resistance.

Although Astray’s base Hazard Resistances may seem lackluster when compared with the Estoque, the Astray has some incredibly talented crew members that can make up for it.

Its base hazard resistances at level 1 are +9, gaining +1 in every resistance at each upgrade.

As seen in the upgrade chart below, the Astray’s obvious strength is its fast sailing speeds.

Astray Stats by Level

Astray & Estoque Stats Comparison

Astray seems weaker in Hazard Resistance than the Estoque. But, Astray has excellent sailors to make up the difference.

Upgrading the Astray

After acquiring the materials for an upgrade, simply dock (Press Z key) your ship at any major city harbor. Push the Upgrade button at the top right of the screen, confirm you have all the materials necessary, then push the OK button. The ship will be instantly upgraded.

Upgrading the Astray takes 3-4 different materials at each Level. Use the tables below to calculate cost in sailing coins, materials, and gold.

Astray Upgrade Materials

The tables below show the material costs for upgrading the Astray. The first chart goes by individual level, showing the parts and costs of each separate upgrade from 1 – 11. Unless you’re swimming in excess sailing coins, I do not recommend upgrading the Astray after level 10 because the costs of upgrading to level 11 far outweigh the benefits (+1 to each Hazard).

The second chart is a breakdown of the costs in coin, gold, and materials to level the Astray from 1 – 10.

The third table shows the upgrade process broken into more doable chunks, grouped by similar materials. For example, upgrades 1 – 5 all require the same materials.
