Revision 6

Decoration: Delicious Meal Set is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks the Delicious Meal Set food-display decoration at the Workbench.

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 it 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 Delicious Meal Set at the Workbench. The Delicious Meal Set is a Food Displays decoration: a dressed table piece that adds to a base's Comfort rating rather than something you eat. Like other comfort decorations it only counts while it sits inside a lit Bonfire range, and Comfort bonuses within the same category do not stack, so one well-placed display per room is enough.

Building Set

This recipe is part of the Old World set, a heavy timber-and-iron style fitting older European buildings. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, furniture, and decoration pieces. A full dining room that combines a table, seating, a food display, and lighting scores higher in base-rating checks than a single bare piece.

Properties

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.

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 Workbench helps preview new entries immediately.

• Place the finished display where it counts. As a comfort piece it does nothing in storage, so build it inside the lit Bonfire radius once unlocked.

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