Revision 10

The Wise Serpent is a ship flag cosmetic in Windrose, applied at the Shipwright to customize a player ship's flagstaff. The Wise Serpent design is associated with Smugglers of Port Royal.

In-Game Description

A flag that makes one thing clear: don't cross those whose daggers are coated in poison.

Stats

Style Book

Wise Serpent is one of the designs taught by the Style Book: Smugglers Flag Designs. Reading the book once adds the whole set permanently to the reading character's Wharf customization menu, so the unlock is shared across every ship that character owns. The set sits behind Smugglers of Port Royal reputation and is sold by the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner.

The same Style Book also carries the other Smugglers flags, so unlocking Wise Serpent gives you the full faction set in one purchase:

How to Apply

Bring the ship to a Shipwright-built Wharf, open the customization menu, and select the matching flag slot. Wise Serpent appears in the option list once the unlock condition (Style Book or stock availability) is met.

Where to Find

Unlocked by reading the matching Style Book, sold by the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner. Style Books for the Smugglers of Port Royal are priced in Guineas, not Piastres, and gated behind reputation tiers.

Compatible Ships

This cosmetic name appears in the database under the Brig-class entry, but the underlying design is shared across Brig, Frigate, and Ketch hull classes. Once the Style Book is read, the option is available for every ship class your character has built or unlocked.

Tips

• Flying Wise Serpent signals a Smugglers of Port Royal allegiance to other captains you pass at sea. The flag is purely cosmetic and does not change ship stats, so swap it freely.

• The serpent motif fits the faction's poison theme echoed in the in-game description. If you want a matching look, pair it with a Smugglers hull or sail color from the same Provisioner.

• Because the unlock is bound to the character, not the hull, the design carries over if you later build a Brethren Brig or Blackbeard Frigate.
