11The Brethren of the Coast Main Base is the faction hub for the Brethren of the Coast. It is located on a separate island (not on Tortuga), typically in or near a swamp region on the south side of the jungle biome. Every Windrose world is procedurally generated, so the exact coordinates differ between saves, but the base is always reachable by sailing the Brethren of the Coast Waters marked on the world map.33Summary55PropertyValueFactionBrethren of the CoastLeaderBenjamin HornigoldNavigation cueBrethren of the Coast Waters, south-jungle regionHireable workerMortar Joe (Powderman)Vendors presentProvisioner, Buyer, Bounty Agent77Access88The base sits on a separate island within Brethren of the Coast Waters. From Tortuga, sail south-southeast along the Brethren-marked sea lanes; the base's island shows as a map marker once close enough. The faction main questline points toward the base in its middle chapters.1010Because Windrose worlds are procedurally generated, the exact distance from Tortuga and the exact island shape differ between saves. Drop a Fast Travel Bell near the base as soon as it is reachable to avoid resailing every visit.1212NPCs and Services1414The Brethren of the Coast Main Base stations the same service NPCs that every faction main base carries: a Provisioner for rep-gated shopping, a Buyer for faction-specific sales, and a Bounty Agent for reputation turn-ins. On top of that, Mortar Joe is a hireable worker unique to this base.1616Benjamin Hornigold - faction leader of the Brethren of the Coast and a central figure in the faction's main questline.Brethren of the Coast Provisioner - sells Ship Des plans (Brig, Frigate), crafting materials, drinks, and Brethren-themed style books.Brethren Buyer - accepts faction-preferred trade goods in exchange for Piastre.Brethren Bounty Agent - takes reputation items (turn-ins) to push the player's standing through reputation tiers 2, 3, and 4.Mortar Joe is a hireable Powderman worker. For 500 Piastre, he can be assigned to the Millstones station for a 50% bonus to Gunpowder production.1818Reputation and Unlocks2020Like the other faction hubs, the Brethren base gates its best stock behind Faction Reputation. Standing climbs through tiers at 0, 100, 400, and 1000 reputation, and the Brethren Bounty Agent is where you turn in reputation items to push to the next tier. Higher tiers open better ship plans and style books at the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner, so repeated visits pay off as your standing grows.2222TierReputationWhat It Tends to OpenTier 10Base access, starter stock, and reputation turn-insTier 2100The Brig ship plan, the first combat hull above the starter KetchTier 3400Expanded materials, drinks, and Brethren style booksTier 41000The Frigate plan, the largest hull the Brethren sell2424Why Visit Early2525Mortar Joe is the most firearm-impactful worker in the game. Ranged builds and boss-melter Blunderbuss specialists burn through gunpowder; a 50% production bonus at the Millstones directly doubles the sustain of any gunpowder-heavy loop. Hiring him requires 500 Piastre and physically reaching this base.2727The Brig Ship Des plan (sold here at Rep 2) is the first combat-ready hull above the starter Ketch. Any build planning to move past Coastal Jungle quickly needs the Brig plan from the Brethren Provisioner, which means this base is a natural early-mid stop.2929Other Faction Bases3131Windrose has four factions, each with its own hub. The Brethren base is the home of the Brethren of the Coast, while the People of Tortuga, the Smugglers of Port Royal, and the Buccaneers run their own bases and reputation tracks. Raising standing with one faction does not block the others, so most crews work several reputation lines in parallel to unlock the full ship and gear roster.3333See Also3535Brethren of the Coast - faction overviewBrethren of the Coast Provisioner - vendor details and inventoryMortar Joe - the Powderman worker hireable hereBrig - the ship class the Brethren unlockFrigate - the endgame ship class sold here at Rep 4
