Skull and Bones has several advanced ships that unlock later in the game, among them the medium-sized Snow. This guide is all about finding the specific blueprint for the tanky Vanguard Snow and its crafting requirements.
Skull and Bones: Vanguard Snow Blueprint Location
The Vanguard Snow blueprint can be acquired in one of two ways. The first is free as part of the rewards for completing the Nightfall Missives contract on behalf of Admiral Rahma, Kingpin of the Den of Telok Panjarah.
The Den of Telok Penjarah, pictured above, is a point of interest located in the center of the East Indies. To travel there from Sainte-Anne, bear north-east across the treacherous Open Seas, and through the straits between the first two large islands you make sight of. Alternatively, it may be possible to fast travel to a closer departure point at any previously unlocked locations in the East Indies, such as the Kelelawar Chamber Outpost situated further east, and then make the journey from there.
After you disembark at the Telok Penjarah location, make your way to Rahma’s Residence, which overlooks the rest of the town. Run straight from the embarkation point, past the Bounty Board, and up the flights of stairs.

The alternative to slogging through Admiral Rahma’s mission storyline for the blueprint, is to outright purchase it from the Vendor known as the Shipwrecked Rogue at the Khmoy Estate Outpost, pictured above. This point of interest is located on a small island north of Telok Penjarah in the Beruk Sea in the East Indies.
This high-level ship blueprint will set you back 10560 Silver, and can tank significant incoming damage with its perks.
