PoSI Item Crafting (Mobile View)

Mobile device readers, this version is for you! See here for the regular version of this page.

This is a guide to the special extended inventory items available to Persons of Some Importance. Most of these must be crafted from components which are expensive and sometimes difficult to obtain. The first section of the guide lists the items along with their components and effects; the second lists the best ways to acquire those components.

A Room at the Royal Bethlehem Hotel

(Note: Upon purchase, you gain 2 x Stolen Kisses, 1 x Blackmail Material and 1 x Cellar of Wine, items which can used for further crafting.) ← Flyte, these items are only useful if people buy the hotel room beforehand.

PoSI option:

(Note: Upon purchase, you gain 1 x Uncanny Incunabulum and 5 x Muscaria Brandy.) ← Flyte, the 5 Brandy can contribute to the purchase of the Brass Embassy guestroom, but it's such a small amount. You'd also have to remember to purchase the Bazaar Premises before the Embassy guestroom.
