Revision 7

Decoration: Ceiling Chain is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks: A sturdy and reliable ceiling chain, designed for hanging chandeliers, lamps, and other ceiling fixtures.

How Recipe Papers Work

Recipe Papers are looted in the world: most often from chests in pirate camps, ruins in the Coastal Jungle, and points of interest scattered across the archipelago. Some merchants in Tortuga also rotate a small selection of plans through their stock. The paper is consumed when it is read. Reading the paper adds the listed entry to the relevant crafting station's recipe list permanently for that character, with no further fee.

What it Unlocks

Reading the paper unlocks A Sturdy and Reliable Ceiling Chain, a decorative ceiling fixture crafted at the Workbench. The chain is designed for hanging chandeliers, lamps, and other ceiling fixtures, giving rooms an anchor point for overhead lighting rather than sitting flush against the beams.

Like other decoration plans, the entry stays on the Workbench list once read, so the chain can be rebuilt as many times as you have materials for. It is a cosmetic piece: it dresses a room and contributes to a coherent interior, but the chain itself is the mounting point, and any comfort value comes from the lamp or chandelier that hangs beneath it rather than the chain.

Building Set

This recipe is part of the Spanish Caribbean set, a polished mahogany and wrought-iron style fitting colonial-era plantation rooms. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, furniture, and decoration pieces. The ceiling chain pairs naturally with the set's hanging lamps and chandeliers, so it is worth reading alongside the other lighting plans from the same family rather than in isolation.

Where to Find

Drops most reliably from looted chests in pirate camps and ruined points of interest, with occasional appearances in cargo crates from defeated NPC ships and in random trader stock at Tortuga. Once read, the unlocked entry is bound to the character that read it; share-base members must each find and read their own copy.

Properties

Tips

• Carry duplicates as trade bait. Until a base stockpiles every recipe paper for a building set, an extra copy is a strong barter chip with other crews.

• Read papers at a base, not on a ship. Some plans add bulk decoration sets that flood the crafting menu, and being at a workshop helps preview new entries immediately.

• Once read, the unlock is permanent for that character. Reading a second copy does nothing, so a duplicate paper is best traded or sold.

• Mount the chain first, then place a hanging lamp or chandelier beneath it. The chain is the anchor point, so deciding its position early saves repositioning the light later.
