After finally making it to Sainte-Anne, you will be given the task of building a new ship. The purpose is to help build your reputation in the community. To do this, you will need some tools. Here’s the guide on how to complete the tools of the trade quest in Skull and Bones.
When you speak to Zayn, he will tell you he wants quality materials to make you quality tools. This will not only build your reputation but his simultaneously.
Luckily, you may already have the materials needed to start this mission off on the right foot. That is if you have been scavenging up until now.

Most if not all of the above materials needed to craft the tools are found through previous missions. If you’re lacking any of the materials, you can either find a place to purchase them or sail around. While sailing, simply loot any crates floating in the water.
Harvesting Acacia

After you craft the requested tools, you must then harvest Acacia for the Shipwright. The Acacia is needed to craft your new ship. Though you only need 8 pieces, it can be a bit confusing to find it.
You’ll find Acacia if you sail northeast from Sainte Anne and go through the narrow opening between the two islands. Keep in mind that you will have to leave the safe zone to gather it and those waters are croc-infested.
To harvest, you must get your timing just right with the saw. Once you’ve acquired the 8 pieces of acacia, deliver it to the Shipwright. After your delivery, you will receive some silver and various other rewards from the Shipwright. He will then begin crafting your ship.
