Revision 6

Overview

The Large Elegant Shelf is a piece of decorative furniture in Windrose. It is a wide wall shelf in a sophisticated, classical style, learned together with the elegant curtain pieces, and it is listed under the Shelves decoration category. Like all decorations, it only takes effect when it is placed inside the radius of a Bonfire. Anything built outside that radius is still placed, but it contributes nothing to your settlement.

Placing the Large Elegant Shelf adds +1 Comfort in the Shelf category. Comfort is the value that sets the size of your maximum stamina pool and how fast stamina recharges through the Rested buff, so decorating a base or a ship has a direct effect on how long you can fight, sprint, and work. See the Comfort System page for the full breakdown.

Comfort bonuses in this category do not stack. A second shelf of any kind adds no further Comfort, so once one piece from the Shelf category is in place you gain more by filling a different category than by adding another of the same type.

Build Cost

Duration: 1s

Hardwood is the only material the Large Elegant Shelf requires, which makes it a cheap way to claim its Comfort category once you have a steady supply of refined wood. The one second build time means it goes up almost instantly at the build site.

Taught By

The recipe is unlocked by the Decoration: Elegant Curtains and Shelves plan. Learning that plan adds the whole set to the build menu at once, so it is worth checking the plan page to see every piece it teaches before spending materials.

Comfort

Related Elegant Furniture

The Large Elegant Shelf shares its classical look with the other pieces in the elegant furniture line. Because each Comfort category only counts once, mixing pieces from different categories is the fastest way to raise your total:

The smaller Elegant Shelf uses the same plan and the same Comfort category, so there is no Comfort benefit to building both; pick whichever fits the space you are decorating.

Placement Tips

• Keep it inside the Bonfire radius shown in the build menu, or it adds no Comfort.

• You only need one Shelf for the Comfort point, so spend extra Hardwood on an unfilled category instead of duplicates.

• Decorations count on your ship as well as on land, so a few pieces on deck help keep the Rested buff up before a boss fight or a long sail.

• In co-op, a crewmate who sleeps at your base gets the Rested buff at that base Comfort level, so one well decorated home base benefits the whole crew.

Progression Notes

Large Elegant Shelf is part of the Crafting progression chain rather than a standalone collectible. Use the recipe, station, and ingredient rows above to trace what unlocks it (the Decoration: Elegant Curtains and Shelves plan), what it consumes (Hardwood), and which linked categories to prepare before building it.
