In Windrose, there’s an entire universe within your reach, and as a pirate, it’s ready for you to explore and conquer. To make your adventures profitable, you’ll need more than just a sturdy ship and skilled sailors; you also need crew members to work at your base.
We’ll help you find each available worker and understand what they can do for your journey. This way, you can develop your camp efficiently and ensure you’re well-supplied for every task. Check out where each crew member is located and how much it costs to bring them onto your team.
### All Workers and Where to Find Them
Workers are special non-player characters (NPCs) you can hire to join your crew. Although they won’t go on your ship with you, they can settle at your base and be assigned to different workstations, offering various benefits.
Since Windrose is still in early access, only four crew members are available for hiring. You probably won’t come across them until you’ve made more progress in the story.
Once hired, you can assign them to their respective stations through the worker tab at those stations.
### Where to Find Rosalinda Mercer
Rosalinda Mercer is likely the first worker you’ll meet. She is located just beside the entrance of Tortuga’s port town, or what’s left of it. She’s a passionate woman with big dreams of brewing all sorts of potions. Assigning her to the Alchemy Table will give you some advantages.
