Revision 4

Decoration: Wall Torch is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks: A wall-mounted torch made from wood and cloth. Perfect for lighting up a camp.

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 Wall Torches at the Workbench. The piece is a wall-mounted torch built from wood and cloth that throws a warm light, making it a practical early choice for lighting a camp or the inside of a base. Because it mounts flush to a wall, it suits narrow corridors and stairwells where a floor-standing torch would block movement.

Comfort Contribution

A lit wall torch placed inside a base counts toward the Comfort System, which boosts your maximum stamina and stamina recovery through the Rested buff. Comfort rewards variety rather than quantity, so one lighting piece fills the lighting category once; lining a hall with extra torches looks good but adds no further Comfort.

Building Set

This recipe is part of the early-game Jungle Survivor set, a wood-and-rope building style fitted to the Coastal Jungle biome. 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.

• Wall mounts free up floor space, so they pair well with tight interiors where a floor-standing torch would be in the way.

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