Umm, I have a few questions about going for some of those achievements… (bold and in italics)

Save a postman from their fate in Nuncio. (Clarify: Not the rat!)
You can do that? I thought it was just a really bad post office where nothing could be done.
Become a candle.
How?
Find The Eye…
-… and dive into it.
Apparently diving into the eye is less terrifying than zailing above it.
Overthrow The Trai- … Her Enduring Majesty.
Is that Anarchist or Dawn Machine supremacy?
Defeat Mt. Nomad.
Kill the Eater-of-Names.
Capsize the Constant Companion.
Burn the Tree of Ages.
Did all that :P
Democratize death.
Immortality questline?
Craft the Bazaar’s bizarre rocket ship.
That’s a quest? Where the hell do I find that? Unless you mean the Merchant Venturer and his bizarre plan to escape via Avid Horizon
Have some free sherry…
… repeatedly.
Chapel of Lights?
Go North…
… and keep going.
You end up in Frostfound or Avid Horizon… then you go mad and eat your crew if you try that again… which makes the last few achievements easier
Transport 500+ sphinxstone in one captain’s lifetime.
There’s a problem with the Sphinxstone achievement: The number of shipments are limited. I think the best you can get in one lifetime, if you’re lucky is about 200-250 units.
Equip a ship with 3 guns.
Not giving up my Suppressor :P
Steer with the maximum efficiency of 65% at once.
You mean normal steering?
Legitimately consider the moral choices you’re presented with.
The easiest achievement of all. Everything you do is the correct one.[/quote] edited by stylesrj on 10/26/2016

Ever brought a Blemmigan along?

Rocket ship isn’t quite accurate, but heard of the Stone Pigs?

Pretty sure this is referring to the Philanthropist.

Entirely doable. The number of shipments may be limited, but the shipment size doesn’t affect when you get locked out and the number of shipments is partially random. Excluding partial shipments I count a potential maximum of 1100 Sphinxstone for one captain.
So how does one become a candle? Is this a reference to the going East thing? Going East makes you a candle in the end?
Also Stone Pigs? Ok now is this a reference to the Impeller? I don’t recall any sort of quest to help build a rocket unless you count the Merchant Venturer.
I didn’t realise you could overall carry that much Sphinxstone. I thought the game limited it at random and since every shipment is 20 units, it would end at 200 or something if you keep going back for more.
It sounds like I should bring a cargo ship next time and just load up on stones or something.
Oh here’s ideas for suggestions:
Go find yourself a watery grave with The Lady.
Sharpen yourself in all areas at least twice.
Impound the Irrepressible. Bonus points if you do that AND take on the Constant Companion at the same time, then immediately take on the Tree of Ages and the Eater Of Names (if the Chelonate is close enough) with a nice round trip to Mt. Nomad. All without stopping to repair or refuel.
And if you want impossible:
Deplete a ship of its crew and not its hull.
Good luck. edited by stylesrj on 10/27/2016

Pray.

Yep, the Impeller. The Stone Pigs move the Bazaar between stars.

The game does limit it at random. Each time you turn in Sphinxstone, you gain 1 to 5 Deliveries from the Salt Lions. When that goes over 10, you are asked to make the final delivery. Shipments are purchased 20 units at a time but you can deliver any number at once.[/quote] edited by Optimatum on 10/27/2016
