Windrose Boiled Crab Guide

Mastering the culinary arts is one of the most rewarding ways to ensure your survival in the beautiful but challenging archipelago of Windrose (often mistranscribed as "windows"!). Taking the time to cook your meals provides excellent stat boosts that will keep you in top shape while exploring new islands or boarding rival ships.

One of the best early-game dishes you can make is Boiled Crab. Here is a friendly, step-by-step guide on how to gather the ingredients, set up your kitchen, and advance your cooking skills.

The Boled Crab Recipe

Boiled Crab is a fantastic baseline meal for keeping your health and stamina in check during your early voyages. To make it, you only need two simple ingredients:

• 1x Crab Shell
• 1x Salt

Where to Find Your Ingredients

• Crab Shells: Head down to any sandy shoreline. You will find crabs roaming along the water's edge. Just be ready for a quick scuffle, as they will defend themselves when approached!
• Salt: Salt can be found naturally while scavenging coastal areas or looted from ship holds during naval combat. If you want a guaranteed supply, you can visit the main market in Tortuga and buy it directly from the Provisioner for 2 Piastres.

Setting Up Your Kitchen

To prepare your meals, you will need a proper cooking station. If you are just starting out, you can easily set up a basic Cooking Fire through your building menu using:

• 3x Stone
• 3x Wood

Once your fire is lit, simply interact with it, combine your crab shell and salt, and your nourishing meal is ready!

Advancing Your Culinary Skills

As you progress through the game, you will naturally want to unlock more complex and powerful recipes to give your character even better survival buffs.

To level up your kitchen, you can craft a Cutting Table upgrade using:

• 2x Copper Ingots
• 10x Wood

Advanced Crab Recipes to Look Out For

Once your kitchen is upgraded, you can start experimenting with high-tier delicacies:

• Crab Soup: A wonderful upgrade if you manage to forage or trade for some diced tomatoes.
• Spicy Skewered Crab: Perfect for players looking for a little extra kick to their active buffs.
• Seafood Platter: An incredible late-game feast that combines multiple marine ingredients for maximum stat enhancements.
