Infamy: Marauder I (You need to reach a certain level of notoriety as a pirate)
Materials:
Fine Ramie x10 (Strong and lightweight fiber)
Steel Ingot x12 (Strong and durable metal)
Zinc Ingot x8 (Metal used for creating containers)
Ironwood Plank x10 (Heavy and very durable wood)
Silver x1970
Function (Speculative):
Based on the name and materials, the Vat of Volatiles I Blueprint likely allows you to craft a large container for storing or processing volatile substances in Skull and Bones. Here are two possible interpretations of its function:
1. Explosive Crafting:
The vat could be used in the creation of volatile compounds used in explosive weapons or devices:
Black Powder Storage: The vat might be a secure container for storing black powder, a common gunpowder ingredient, for use in cannons or other explosives.
Black Powder Production (Potential): In higher tier vats, you might be able to process or refine materials to create black powder.
2. Crafting Incendiary Materials:
The vat could be used to handle or process highly flammable substances for use in incendiary weapons:
Greek Fire Production: The materials and "volatile" theme could suggest storing or even creating Greek fire, a historical incendiary weapon.
Napalm-like Substance: The vat might be used in the processing or storage of a fictional napalm-like substance for incendiary attacks.
Material Analysis:
Steel Ingot: The substantial amount of steel suggests a very strong container necessary to withstand the potential pressures or heat associated with volatile materials.
Ironwood Plank: This exceptionally hard wood could be used for the vat’s structure to further reinforce it against potential explosions or internal pressure.
Fine Ramie: Strong and flexible fibers could be used for filters, hoses, or other internal components used when handling volatile substances.
Zinc Ingot: Commonly used for creating containers, it might be used for lining the vat or creating separate compartments within it.
Safety Precautions (Speculative):
The emphasis on strong and durable materials suggests that the Vat of Volatiles is designed with safety in mind when handling dangerous materials.
