The Industrial Revolution is driven by the efforts of every Captain. As your nation's Technology Development grows, it eventually triggers the Industrial Revolution, unlocking unique production recipes such as modern firearms, steam engines, canned food, and more. This guide explains how the system works and how you can help accelerate your nation's progress.

⚙️ Industrial Revolution Locations

 

The Industrial Revolution can occur in Spain, Portugal, Venice, France, the Netherlands, and England. Each nation has its own Industrial Revolution town where you can enjoy its benefits while the Industrial Revolution is active.

 

Nation Industrial Revolution Town
Spain FlagSpain Bilbao
Portugal FlagPortugal Viana do Castelo
Venice FlagVenice Cattaro
France FlagFrance Le Havre
The Netherlands FlagThe Netherlands Rotterdam
England FlagEngland Portsmouth
* Ottoman players are treated as belonging to their original nation selected at character creation and can benefit from that nation's Industrial Revolution.

⚙️ Triggering the Industrial Revolution

 

The following activities contribute to your nation's Technology Development:

 

Achieve a great success in normal Production
Perform Advanced Production
Perform Production at a Factory
Build a new ship
Build a ship via Custom Shipbuilding
Improve a ship via Custom Shipbuilding
Perform Advanced Alchemy
Perform Transmutation Alchemy
Make a Discovery
Win a sea battle (against NPCs)
Win a land battle (against NPCs)

Steps:

  1. Technology Development points are added to the corresponding nation immediately after completing the activities listed above.
  2. Once a nation's Technology Development points reach the required amount, the Industrial Revolution is triggered in that nation. When this happens, a red message appears saying: Industrial Revolution has occurred in XXXX!
  3. Once triggered, the Industrial Revolution remains active for 72 hours.
  4. After 72 hours, the system checks each nation's Technology Development points again. If the points are below the required amount, the Industrial Revolution ends.
* Each nation's Technology Development points are a hidden value and cannot be viewed in-game.
* You can use recipes available at other nations' Industrial Revolution town Factories, but you will not receive the benefits provided by your own nation's Factory.

⚙️ Industrial Revolution Status

 

An Industrial Revolution town's status changes based on its Technology Development level, which can be viewed through Guild Mediators → Nation Status.

Industrial Revolution Status Technology Development Level IR Status
↗️ Booming Higher than required Active
↘️ Stagnating Lower than required Active
↗️ Rev. Soon Higher than 70% of required Inactive
↘️ Sluggish Lower than 70% of required Inactive

⚙️ Machineries at Factories

 

Once the Industrial Revolution is activated, a Factory appears in the corresponding Industrial Revolution town. The Factory contains various types of machinery, each providing unique recipes to create advanced items.

⚙️ Benefits from Your Nation's Factory

 

While you can use Factories in other nations' Industrial Revolution towns, using your own nation's Factory provides significant advantages.

 

Exclusive Recipes

Exclusive recipes become available at your nation's Factory.

Reduced Skill Requirements

When performing Production, one required Skill is no longer necessary, and another required Skill can be 2 ranks below the required level while still allowing Production (Minimum: Rank 1).

Use Stockpile

If Trade Goods are required for Production, you can purchase them with Ducats at a Factory instead of obtaining them yourself.

* The higher your nation's Technology Development level, the more recipes become available for use.

⚙️ Manchester: The Everlasting IR Town

 

Manchester, where the Industrial Revolution first began in Europe, has reached the highest level of technological development. As a result, the Industrial Revolution is always active there, allowing Captains to use the Factory to produce special items.

* The Manchester Factory also offers exclusive recipes, but it has fewer total available recipes than Factories in national Industrial Revolution towns.

🗓️ Scheduled Industrial Revolution

To give every Captain in both Maris and Ventus more opportunities to benefit from the Industrial Revolution, the UWO management team has decided to trigger it every 3 weeks regardless of each nation's status!

Activation Time: Every third Wednesday - 7 days before the scheduled maintenance.
When Triggered:

➤ The Booming status is guaranteed.

➤ 50% of the Technology Development points required to unlock all Factory recipes are added.


* If a nation is already in the Industrial Revolution and its Technology Development has already exceeded 50%, its current Technology Development value will be maintained. The only change is that the Industrial Revolution period will be extended.

🚀 KeEP the Revolution Going

Once the Industrial Revolution is triggered, your actions can unlock hidden recipes and extend its duration beyond 72 hours. Work together with fellow Captains and lead your nation toward a brighter future!
