Reinforced Ship Cannonball — Detailed Guide

Reinforced shot for ships

The Reinforced Ship Cannonball is ammunition for ships in ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki ties it to the Tides of Fortune adventure pack within the Bob's True Tales DLC, and lists the Sloop, Brigantine, Galleon and Trireme as the ships that use it. It is made of heavier metals than a standard Cannon Ball, hits targets very hard and can even harm structures that players own; per the wiki it deals more damage than the other cannon balls. The wiki also notes that without that DLC installed you cannot learn the engram, craft the item or use it.

Engram and recipe

The engram unlocks at level 58 for 5 engram points. It is crafted in a Smithy, with the Argentavis Saddle also named on the wiki; each craft takes 1 second and yields one cannonball for 0.4 XP. The recipe:

Carrying a stack

Each cannonball weighs 20 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 2000.
