Life Skills

Gathering & Cooking

Strike salt, stir the pot, and never fight on an empty stomach.

The hurricane took the ships, the cargo and most of the rations. What the survivors eat now, they pull from the island themselves. Learn its life skills, claim its harvest before anyone else does, and keep your crew on its feet.

From Shoreline to Cookpot

Learn the Trade

Wren Inkwake sells life-skill books at Rena's Rest. Spend the Life Skill Points you earn from quests to master Shore Gathering and Camp Cooking.

Beat Them to It

Salt crystals crust the island's beaches, and wild herbs grow along its paths and rivers. Every node is shared, and the first pirate to reach it takes the harvest.

Earn Your Recipes

Island creatures carry sealed provisioning notes. Break the seal to find a recipe sheet, and guard it well: every batch you cook uses one up.

Fire Up the Cookpot

Cook at the camp cookpots of Wreckfall Camp and Greenwake Landing, then carry a full pack into your next fight.

Gathered by Hand

Nodes come in small, medium and large, and a large one is worth the detour. Harvest it and it grows back nearby in a new size, so keep your eyes open and your boots moving.

Saltbreak Salt

Saltbreak Isle beaches and riverbanks

Struck from salt crystals with a pickaxe. Scarce, sought after, and in nearly every early recipe.

Saltgrass

Saltbreak Isle paths

A sharp, briny herb picked by hand. Bottled with salt, it becomes the draught that keeps your skills firing.

Tideleaf

Greenwake Wilds riverbanks

Red-budded shrubs along the Greenwake rivers. Steeped strong, it brews a tea worth the walk.

Fresh off the Cookpot

Wreckfall Crab Chowder

Steady heal · Wreckfall Camp

Crab meat and salt, simmered until it stops arguing. The first meal every castaway learns.

Tidewake Draught

Quick SP refresh · Wreckfall Camp

Saltgrass and salt, bottled for the moment your skills run dry.

Hearthshell Hotpot

Hearty heal · Greenwake Landing

Bear paw and crab in one pot. It mends the kind of damage a chowder can't.

Tideleaf Tea

Deep SP refresh · Greenwake Landing

A strong riverbank brew that keeps your skills coming deep into a fight.

First Come, First Fed

Every salt crystal and herb patch on the island belongs to everyone, which means it belongs to whoever gets there first. The Stormclaws have foraged this way for generations. After the storm, everyone else has to learn.

A well-stocked cook is worth knowing. Feed your own crew, or bring your surplus supplies to the marketplace for pirates who would rather fight than forage.
