Where to find all elite blueprints for the Jackdaw
During the playthrough, you can and should upgrade your ship — the Jackdaw. Elite blueprints are best for this, as they will significantly strengthen your vessel. We will tell you where to get them: some will need to be found by exploring treasure maps, and some by searching yourself.
Powerful Harpoon
To get this blueprint, you need a treasure map, which can be found in a cave on Mariguana Island at coordinates (847, 514).
Then you need to go to Andreas Island and find the treasure on a small piece of land at coordinates (544, 693).
Incendiary Barrel Compartment
To get this blueprint, you need a treasure map, which can be found in a cave in Petit Cavern smuggler's cove at coordinates (862, 237).
Then you need to go to Tulum Island and find the treasure at coordinates (40, 372). Once you do this, the blueprint can be purchased from the port captain.
Mortar Shot Compartment
To get this blueprint, you need a treasure map, which can be found on Tortuga at coordinates (852, 352).
Then you need to go to Matanzas and find the treasure at coordinates (312, 617). It lies behind a large waterfall next to a Mayan stele.

Then you need to go to Misteriosa and find the treasure at coordinates (271, 177).
Armored Hull Plating
While exploring the "San Ignacio" wreck site, instead of swimming to the diving bell immediately after the caves, you need to sink to the very bottom and swim all the way to the ship's wreckage. There, in the upper left part, there will be a breach, where a huge chest with the blueprint will be.
Maximum Number of Broadside Cannons
Can be found in the underwater location "Blue Hole" at coordinates (440, 145). The blueprint is located on the northern edge of the location — at the bottom, inside a destroyed sunken ship.
Bow Ram
Can be found in the underwater location, at the "La Concepción" wreck site, at coordinates (150, 271). The blueprint is located north of the diving bell — in a chest in the broken part of the ship.
Falconets
Can be found in the underwater location "Devil's Eye" at coordinates (456, 332). To find the blueprint, from the diving bell, you need to swim through the northern tunnel all the way to a large cave with air. There you need to turn left and go through a narrow passage, at the end of which is the desired chest.
Powerful Light Shot
Can be found in the underwater location "Kabah Ruins" at coordinates (738, 120). To find the blueprint, you need to get to the northern part of the map. To do this, you will have to swim through a system of tunnels.
But it's not easy: a strong current will hinder you. At the moment you hear the roar of water, you will need to hide in a recess on the right, otherwise you will be thrown back. After passing, you will enter an open hall where the coveted chest will be.
