Decoration: Ethnic Patterned Carpets

Decoration: Ethnic Patterned Carpets is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks: Ethnic Patterned Carpets. Cloth floor covering with traditional patterns and rich colors.

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 Ethnic Patterned Carpets at the Workbench. It is a cloth floor covering with traditional patterns and rich colors, one of several rug pieces in the Carpets and Rugs line. Carpets are placed flat on a floor to warm up an otherwise bare plank or stone interior.

Comfort Contribution

A carpet placed inside a base counts toward the Comfort System, which raises maximum stamina and stamina recovery through the Rested buff. Comfort credits only the first piece from each decoration sub-category, so a single rug fills the carpet slot; laying several rugs across a room is decorative but adds no further Comfort.

Building Set

This recipe is part of the Lost Tribe set, a carved-stone and ethnic-pattern style themed around the archipelago's pre-colonial inhabitants. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, furniture, and decoration pieces.

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.

• Pair the carpet with other Lost Tribe pieces for a unified room theme; mixing it with Old World or Jungle Survivor items reads as a less cohesive interior.

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