11Unlocks three privateer-themed flag designs at the Wharf: British East India Company's Flag, Henry Every's Flag, and Captains of Tortuga Flag.2233How it Works4455A Style Book is a one-time-read consumable. Right-click the book in the inventory to read it, and the entire set of designs it lists is added permanently to that character's Wharf customisation menu. After reading, the book is removed from inventory but the designs stay forever, applicable to any ship that character owns. Other characters in a shared base must each read their own copy.6677Designs Unlocked8899DesignNotesBritish East India Company's FlagA merchant ensign disguise that mimics a Royal merchant convoy.Henry Every's FlagA black field with the white skull-in-profile attributed to the historical Captain Every.Captains of Tortuga FlagCrossbones over Tortuga's fortress silhouette.1010Where to Buy11111212Sold by the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner for 10 Guinea. Reputation with the corresponding faction must reach the rank that opens the cosmetic stock at the Provisioner before the book becomes available for purchase.13131414The 10 Guinea price is paid in Guinea, the higher-end gold currency, not in Piastre. Because the book is read once and the designs then persist on the character forever, the cost is a one-off rather than a per-application fee.15151616Related Style Books17171818Privateer Flag Designs is the flag-themed book in the Style Book family. The other Style Books unlock hull paints rather than flags:19192020Style Book: Stock Hull Colors adds the three baseline hull paints Black Powder, Seasoned Oak, and Maiden Timber.Style Book: Brethren Hull Colors adds a faction-themed set of red hull paints.21212222Each Style Book is unlocked and read the same way, and every design across all of them is purely cosmetic.23232424Tips25252626Read the book at the dock before opening the Wharf customisation menu. Browsing for the new design before reading the book will leave the menu blank where the new options should be.Style Books are bound to a character, not a base or a clan. If a friend wants the same designs they need to buy and read their own copy.All cosmetic designs are stat-neutral. There is no in-game mechanical reason to prefer one design over another, only personal aesthetic and the visual signal it sends to other crews at sea.
