What Buildings To Construct First?

All of the buildings with the Settlement have a value. Each and every building you construct does benefit the Raven Clan one way or another. However, there are definitely upgrades that are better purchased early in the game. While a lot of it depends on personal preference and playstyle, we’ve highlighted the positives for building the following:

Blacksmith

The Blacksmith is the first building you must construct. It costs 400 Supplies and 30 Raw Materials. It allows you to upgrade, enhance, and improve your weapons and equipment in exchange for increasingly rare metal ingots.

Hidden Ones Bureau

This building costs 400 Supplies and 30 Raw Materials. Constructing this first, after the Blacksmith is a good idea as it offers additional missions and rewards. However, you cannot build the Hidden Ones Bureau until a certain point in the story. After you pledge allegiance on the Alliance map, Hytham will appear at the Hidden Ones Bureau.

Barracks

The Barracks is available to construct once the Blacksmith has been built. It costs 400 Supplies and 30 Raw Materials. It allows you to create and recruit Jomsvikingr, and manage your Crew. A Jomsviking is a character you can create that can be hired to join other players’ crew, returning rewards to you if successful.

Trading Post

The Trading Post costs 400 Supplies and 3 Raw Materials. It let’s you buy and sell items with a Trader at your settlement. It’s better than regular trading spots as you can purchase new tattoos, hairstyles, ship cosmetics, and other unique items.

Stable & Aviary

The Stable & Aviary costs 400 Supplies and 30 Raw Materials to construct. It allows you to purchase, upgrade, and cosmetically change your horse & raven.

Fishing Hut (Colony Level Renown)

The Fishing Hut costs 600 Supplies and 45 Raw Materials. It unlocks the Fishing Line which adds a Fishing Rod to your quick wheel so you can catch fish. You can then trade fish in for deliveries at the Fishing Hut in exchange for metal bars, cosmetic items, and other rewards.
