  "textContent": "Coffee Beans are a cooking ingredient in Windrose used to brew drinks that grant some of the strongest pre-combat buffs in the game. They are not foraged from plants in the wild and cannot be grown from a basic seedbed in any reliable way, so most players end up sourcing them through trade or shipboard loot.\n\n☕\n\nQuick answer: Buy Coffee Beans for 3 Piastres each from the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner in Tortuga once your faction trust reaches level 3. Cargo holds on boarded ships and floating crates at sea can also drop them, but the vendor is the only guaranteed supply.\n\n* * *\n\n### Where Coffee Beans come from\n\nThree routes put Coffee Beans in your inventory. Only one is reliable, the other two are opportunistic and depend entirely on RNG when looting ships at sea.\n\nSource| Reliability| What you need\n---|---|---\nBrethren of the Coast Provisioner (Tortuga)| Guaranteed stock| Trust level 3 with the faction, 3 Piastres per bean\nTortuga Food Seller| Guaranteed stock| Same 3 Piastre price\nShip cargo holds| RNG per vessel| Board merchant or pirate ships and loot crates\nFloating cargo at sea| Very low RNG| Sail between islands and collect drifting crates and barrels\n\nThe vendor route is by far the cleanest. At 3 Piastres per bean, a single shopping trip can stock dozens for the price of a modest loot run, while ship boarding and floating debris should be treated as bonus drops rather than a primary farm.\n\n* * *\n\n### Reaching the Tortuga vendor\n\nThe market vendor will not sell to a brand new arrival. You need to raise your standing with the Brethren of the Coast to trust level 3 before the shop inventory unlocks for Coffee Beans and other faction goods.\n\n**Step 1:** Follow the main story until the Tortuga introduction quest fires. Because the world map is randomly generated, the exact island hosting the market shifts between saves, and this quest pin is the fastest way to find it without sailing blind.\n\n**Step 2:** Accept handler missions inside the market district. Completing Brethren faction tasks is the most efficient way to push trust toward level 3 without long detours back out to sea.\n\n**Step 3:** Once you hit trust level 3, open the Provisioner's shop and check the trade goods list. Coffee Beans should appear at 3 Piastres each, alongside other faction items like Salt.\n\n💰\n\nTip: Sell surplus Hardwood, Copper Ingots, and extra fish at the same stop to cover the Piastre cost. A full stack of 30 beans pays for itself quickly and covers most cooking needs.\n\n* * *\n\n### What Coffee Beans are used for\n\nThe whole reason to stockpile beans is the buff chain they unlock. Coffee-based food and drink recipes are some of the most useful pre-combat preparations in the game, and one mid-tier station also requires them as a build ingredient.\n\nRecipe| Type| Effect or use\n---|---|---\nCoffee| Epic food| Max Health buff for 30 minutes, common dungeon prep\nDeadeye Grog| Drink| +15% damage for 30 minutes, mixes beans with rum and madeira\nBanana Coffee| Drink| Cooked beverage variant\nSupplies Rack| Station| Requires 5 Coffee Beans, 5 Salt, 5 Nuts, 5 Lobster Mushrooms, 5 Hardwood\n\nCoffee Beans stack to 30 in inventory at 0.2 weight each, which is enough headroom for a full Deadeye Grog batch plus a Supplies Rack with leftovers for a Coffee buff or two.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to know it worked\n\nAfter the trust requirement is met, the Provisioner's shop window will list Coffee Beans as a purchasable line item with a 3 Piastre price tag. If the entry is missing or greyed out, your faction standing has not yet crossed the threshold, and you need to keep running Brethren handler quests until it does.\n\nFor the cargo and floating crate routes, beans drop directly into your inventory when you loot the container. There is no quest flag or unlock tied to finding them this way, so the only real verification is checking your bag after each crate.",
