Initial Hard Grog article
Hard Grog is the damage-resistance member of the Windrose grog family, a Rare drink crafted at the Alchemy Table that layers on top of food buffs. It is the go-to grog for outnumbered naval engagements and for boarding scenarios where soaking incoming damage matters more than pushing raw dps.
"A fortified ration of grog, blended with brandy and lime. Issued to help the crew withstand hardship, scurvy, and remain at their posts under fire."

Station | Ingredients | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
Alchemy Table with Stove and Pot upgrade | 4 Rum Bottle + 2 Brandy + 3 Lime | 1 Hard Grog | 10 seconds |
Brandy is the bottleneck: it is an Epic-rarity resource tied to late-game trading and rare merchant stock. Lime is a Common food item farmable at any farm plot and sold in every port. Rum Bottle comes from Grenadiers, Supply Caches, and Tortuga merchants.
Outnumbered naval fight: 1v2 or 1v3 where survival matters more than outgoing damage
Boarding a Brig or Frigate: when soaking the defender's opening volleys is the limiting factor
Cursed Swamps clears: multi-wave rooms where you cannot dodge everything and need the damage-resistance cushion
