The Hunter's Instinct is a ship sail cosmetic in Windrose, applied at the Shipwright to customize a player ship's rigged sail set. The Hunter's Instinct design is associated with Rogue Buccaneers.
Always finds a favorable wind.
This design is purely cosmetic. Like every ship customization option in Windrose, it is stat neutral: it changes how the vessel looks but gives no bonus to speed, cargo, hull strength, or rigging. The only thing it changes at sea is the impression your ship makes on rival crews who recognise the Rogue Buccaneers colours.
Despite the flavour line about always finding a favourable wind, the sail set does not alter sailing handling or wind behaviour. The text is decorative, not a gameplay effect.

Bring the ship to a Shipwright-built Wharf, open the customization menu, and select the matching sail slot. Hunter's Instinct appears in the option list once the unlock condition (Style Book or stock availability) is met.
Unlocked by reading the matching Style Book, sold by the Rogue Buccaneers Provisioner. Style Books for the Rogue Buccaneers are priced in Guineas, not Piastres, and gated behind reputation tiers.
Designs in Windrose are not equipped from your inventory. They are added to your Wharf customization menu by reading a Style Book, a one time consumable that is bound to your character rather than to a base or crew. Reading the book consumes it and unlocks every design it contains permanently.
The relevant book here, Style Book: Stock Sails Colors, is sold by the Rogue Buccaneers Provisioner. Faction Style Books are priced in Guinea, the premium currency, not in Piastres, and the Provisioner only stocks them once your standing with the faction has climbed high enough. Building Rogue Buccaneers reputation through their contracts and bounties is what opens the cosmetic shelf.

This cosmetic name appears in the database under the Brig-class entry, but the underlying design is shared across Brig, Frigate, and Ketch hull classes. Once the Style Book is read, the option is available for every ship class your character has built or unlocked.

Because the look is free of stats, pick the Rogue Buccaneers sails for the statement rather than for any edge in a fight. They pair naturally with the matching hull colours from the same faction if you want a unified deck. To switch back later, return to a Wharf and choose another unlocked set; nothing is lost by changing your mind.
