It's very difficult to obtain. You need to have extremely high Veils (to trap a Live Specimen in a random explore event), extremely high Pages (to win a Live Specimen in a riddle-game), or extreme combat capability and patience (to hope that the Unprepossessing Mass from some zee-beast holds a Live Specimen).

Or you could just buy one in London if a previous captain of your dynasty has already died at zee. Then it is not difficult to obtain at all.

I spent... quite some time parked outside Port Cecil with a pair of binoculars and eventually managed to catch a beast. If only I hadn't... I hadn't... well, nevermind what I did.

you can also trade with the lost explorer in the kingdom of hands. I think he'll trade you one for a flare or recent news or something unbelievably cheap.

That is the other way around he wants a live specimen for something else that you might need in the Empire of Hands.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.

No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Nah, you *give* him a Live Specimen for a flare, not the other way around. So not worth it unless you're rolling in Live Specimens for some reason.

edit: I have been ninjed!
