11Recipe papers are consumable unlock items found in the Misc tab of the inventory. Using one teaches your crew a new crafting recipe or raises the tier of an existing one. They are the main way players expand their crafting list beyond the base unlocks granted by story progress.2233Two families are in circulation. Upgrade Manuals raise a weapon, armor, or accessory category from one tier to the next. Plans (written as "Plans: Item Name") unlock a single specific item from scratch.4455Upgrade Manuals6677Upgrade Manuals come in sets of three tiers (I, II, III) and cover every major equipment category. Reading the tier I manual first unlocks the tier II recipe for that category, and so on. A tier III manual only takes effect once the tier II version has been used.8899ManualRaises Tier ForArmor Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIarmorOne-Hand Weapon Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIone-handed-weaponsMelee Weapon Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIAll melee weaponsGreatsword Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIgreatswordsClub Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIclubsHalberd Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIhalberdsMusket Upgrade Manual I / II / IIImusketsPistol Upgrade Manual I / II / IIIpistolsJewelry Upgrade Manual I / IIRings and necklaces1010Plans11111212Plans unlock specific named items.
