People of Tortuga Main Base

The People of Tortuga Main Base is the faction hub for the People of Tortuga. It sits on a separate island, not on Tortuga itself. One reported placement is within the Brethren of the Coast Waters region; because Windrose worlds are procedurally generated, the exact coordinates vary between saves.

Summary

Property	Value
Faction	People of Tortuga
Leader	Charlie Sharpe (stands on the balcony)
Access	Buccaneers questline, after delivering Tanned Hides
Hireable worker	Black Axel (Cook)
Vendors present	Provisioner, Buyer, Bounty Agent

How to Unlock

The map marker for the base appears during the People of Tortuga faction questline. Specifically, the base becomes visible on the map after step 2 of the Buccaneers questline, which asks the player to deliver a Bale of Tanned Hides to Charlie Sharpe. Following the marker to the island opens access to the base.

The base is described as heavily fortified. Drop a Fast Travel Bell immediately after unlocking the base to avoid having to resail from Tortuga each time. Fast travel is the only way to avoid repeating the full ocean transit.

Base Layout

Sail in through the gate, take the first left. The Buyer is on the ground floor near the entrance. Charlie Sharpe and the Provisioner stand on the balcony above the Buyer. Black Axel is located at the base before the player passes through the walls (in the outer perimeter area rather than the central courtyard).

NPCs and Services

Charlie Sharpe - faction leader of the People of Tortuga, central figure of the faction's questline.
People of Tortuga Provisioner - sells ornate building plans, Privateer and Marksman armor plans, and elegant furnishings. Priced primarily in Guineas.
Tortuga Buyer (ground floor) - accepts Provisions and Medicine trade goods for Piastre.
People of Tortuga Bounty Agent - handles rep turn-ins.
Black Axel - hireable Cook worker. 500 Piastre, assigned to the Cooking Fire for a 30% chance to craft an extra food portion.

Why Visit Early

Black Axel is the worker that doubles meal production density in practice: any build that relies on buff meals (Meaty Croc Kebab for Strength, Seafood Platter for Vitality, and similar) effectively increases its buff-meal stock without spending extra ingredients while Axel is assigned. Hiring him requires 500 Piastre and physical access to this base.

The People of Tortuga Provisioner at this base sells the Privateer and Marksman armor plans. Builds that plan to crit-stack (Privateer 2P +10% crit) or run ranged primaries (Marksman 2P -30% sprint stamina) should push People of Tortuga reputation to Tier 2 quickly.
