So I’m currently going through the Monkey Business mission for the Empire of Hands and have poisoned the cannibal pirates. This resulted in giving me 60 of the 100 supplies needed to launch the zeppelin. I’m wondering if there is some way to get the last 40 supplies without having to manually bring shipments to the island. I have the funds, but as with most things in life I’d rather not spend more than is necessary.
If Aestival is close you can get supplies there, but you might lose a crew member. Or if you talk to the Mayor (?) in the port you can buy supplies for 20 echoes - the same as in London.
I always just bought my supplies from the mayor, seeing as the alternative solution is… not pleasant to say the least. It’s always so late in the game I have more than enough money by then anyhow.
Did you know you get moon pearls for bringing them 5 supplies at a time? Given how hard they are to come by (and how many you need to erase suspicion in the Khanate) I’d say trading them is actually better than ending the trade early. I actually went without poisoning the pirates just because I needed the pearls so badly…
