World of Warships: Buy ships - how it works

Buying ships in World of Warships is a cornerstone of the naval game and therefore fairly straightforward. In this article we show you how it works.

World of Warships: How to buy ships

1. Go to the "Tech Tree" or "Research" tab in the start menu.
2. If you already have enough experience with the ship of your current level, you can explore the next ship.
3. Once you've researched this, you'll be taken straight to the purchase screen.
4. There you will see the price of your new ship. The ship usually costs credits that you can win in naval battles.
5. You can also buy a slot in your port with the ship. This usually costs more.
6. With premium ships, however, things look very different again: You cannot research them, so you can unlock them, you have to buy with doubloons.
7. You only get doubloons by investing real money.
8. To buy a premium ship, go back to the overview and select one of the golden ships.
9. Clicking "purchase" or "buy" shows you how expensive the selected model is.
