Tidewaters - Equipment

Upon the Ship, there are always equipment to be gotten from salvage, trade, or the small industries and artisans in the furnaces and Tanglefront. Given that populations are quite small, barter is commonplace with small goods, but the Captain has long since put in place a representative currency of credits for those who cannot carry their goods with them, or have items of divisible or vast wealth such as property.

Distinct and purposeful weaponry and armor are generally far more expensive due to a lack of materials, and quite a few simply improvise or modify existing tools for their own benefit.

Armour

Light	Piecemeal leather-and-cloth; Oilskin overcoat; Wicker armour
	Boiled leather chestpiece; Sealed Utility suit
Heavy	Chain-mail hauberk; Mirror-armor; Standard diving gear
	Crew Utility suit; High Navigator suit; Plate-mail; Ballistic armour

Melee Weapons

Onehanded	Brass knuckles; Sap; Dagger; Hang-hook
Short Blade	Diving knife; Cleaver; Hatchet; Spade; Seax
Long Blade	Sabre; Bastard sword; Estoc
Blunt	Truncheon; Piping Wrench; Sledge; Mace

Ranged Weapons

Mechanical	Folding crossbow; Siege crossbow; Harpoon gun

For those small jobs to be found aboard the Ship, not adventurous but necessary, a standard set of tools and equipment can be found, from hull-repairs and spreading compost to scrivening and entertainment. So too the populace requires day-to-day gear. The traders' collectives attempt to keep base costs as stable as possible, by way of deals made with the more prominent salvagers and manufacturers, and a constantly-updated common stock in storage. This has not stopped individual artisans from offering specialized goods, such as soap or ink, for competing prices.

Common Gear

Oil lantern	Knotted rope	Spikes	Bound notebook
Fishhook and line	Firesteel or Lighter	Needle and thread	Tin container (Pint)
Prybar	Netting	Pulley-hook	Tin tankard
Sawing-knife	Spanner	Lockbox	Slicing-knife

Storage pouch	Linen strips	Steel chain	Smelling-salts
Stick of chalk	Stick of wax	Hand mirror	Alkali soap
Brass spyglass	Stylus / Pen	Lead weight	Salt crystals

As well, rare trade goods and luxuries that cannot be manufactured have fluxuous prices dependent on quantity and temperament of the traders' collectives. Information on the sciences, arts, histories, architecture, philosophy, and navigation are prized by the Eight High Navigators and their respective retinues, who will personally pay great sums for intact copies of a decent quantity.

Luxuries and Rarities

Dried tobacco leaves	Fresh opiates	Compressed brain ashes
Silk facecloth	Ultraviolet crystal	Porcelain mask
Tarnished silver diadem	Pearl-set-in-emerald corsage	Ceremonial orichalcum sabre
Navigation charts of an unknown sea	Illuminated text of epic poetry	Anatomic diagram of a Crewperson
Treatise of Platonic Form and Ideal	Astrological timepiece	Gold-flake infused calligraphy ink
