Revision 1

Overview

Mortar Joe is a hireable crew member whose talent grants a 30% chance to craft an additional bag of Gunpowder each craft. He is found at the Brethren of the Coast main base. Community guides consistently advise waiting to recruit him until Gunpowder crafting is a regular activity (mid-game).

Recruitment

Why Mortar Joe Matters

Gunpowder is the backbone of Naval Combat and a bottleneck in faction quests such as the Buccaneers chain, which requires 50 bags. Mortar Joe's passive effectively reduces Sulfur and Charcoal consumption for the same output, meaning more broadsides per raid and fewer Millstone runs.
