| Data ID | 113575 |
The Boke of Sharpes is considered a Legacy Curiosity item.
Item description[ | ]
"This barely qualifies as a book. Dozens of scraps of paper have been crammed into a scuffed folio. Each bears helpful advice on murder, and, often, a stain."
Linked to[ | ]
It is linked to the storylet in 
Vienna as well as the secret ambition on Aestival.
Obtaining[ | ]
The Boke of Sharpes is a persistent Legacy advantage in Sunless Sea. It confers a +25 starting bonus to Iron and needs only to be obtained once.
You gain this Legacy advantage in Vienna by raising Supremacy: the Anarchists to 7, through a series of favours for the Fidgeting Agitator.
Alternatively, you can Receive an Embassy at Your Colony in Aestival with the Disillusioned Doctor as your Viceroy.
Details for Vienna[ | ]
- Visit the Cumaean Canal Staging Area, travel to Naples, then Vienna.
- Select the action "Psst! Friend! Strike a blow for freedom, will you?" which will cost -5 x Echoes and deliver the Supplies for the Work to Fallen London.
- Repeat a further 6 times (the action is now called "Another favour for the agitator").
- On your seventh delivery, the Admiralty will shut down and no longer be accessible, so be warned.
Considerations for Vienna[ | ]
- This will actually cost pretty significantly, since each trip to the surface costs a minimum of 22 Fuel and 2 Supplies. However, the first and subsequent deliveries award 5 x Supplies, 10 x Fuel and 1 x Crate of Human Souls
- Note that both can be replenished on the surface - supplies are especially cheap.
- There's also a significant chance of losing crew when visiting the surface, factor that cost in.
- Consider running Sacks of Darkdrop Coffee Beans to Vienna with any spare cargo space at the same time, to increase profits and/or cover costs.
