56 A 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.

1213 Sold 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.

1415 The 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.

2627 Read 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.
