In order to brawl with dockers in [[The Blind Helmsman]], you need {{IL|A Name Scrawled in Blood}} 7 and to have gained {{IL|Acquaintance: The Garrulous Drunk}} 3 by spending the following items:
*{{IL|Piece of Rostygold|250 x}}
*{{IL|Shard of Glim|250 x}}


If your modified {{IL|Dangerous}} is under 230-ish, it's probably a good idea to brawl in a group, but above that you'll earn more by fighting for yourself. Each point of {{IL|Brawling with Dockers}} is worth 0.25 {{E}} in various items, but specific items may have additional requirements beyond a given {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} value. See the Rewards tables for more info on this.

Even though you're able to push {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} above 150, all secondary payouts are capped at 100-120 {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} when with a group, or 140-150 {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} when fighting alone. Check the Rewards tables below for the exact caps at various reward levels.


Note that the option [[Take a moment to tend your wounds]] cures 3CP of {{IL|Wounds}}, one of the higher per-action CP reductions. If you're investing actions into a brawl, you might consider zeroing your Wounds while you're at it.

Conversely, if you're a POSI, investing 2 or 3 actions in a brawl -- enough for the basic reward, needing 10-40 {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} -- may be worthwhile just to get access to [[Take a moment to tend your wounds|Take a moment...]] in the first place. Curing 30CP of {{IL|Wounds}} (i.e. Level 7 plus some) takes 15 Actions (and 15 [[F.F. Gebrandt's Tincture of Vigour|Tinctures]], if using those) at -2CP. Or you could take the same Actions and spend 10 at -3CP Wounds and the rest earning goods to either keep or sell -- handy if you've run up Wounds to the point of death (i.e. just shy of Level 8) before dealing with them.

Note that the special attacks ([[Swing from that rope overhead!|Rope]]/[[Deploy that barrel of gunpowder!|Gunpowder]]/[[Feed three of the brawlers to the Drownies!|Drownies]]) that give more {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} only have a higher difficulty than the standard attack at low-medium values of {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}}. For the above table, though the special attack difficulty starts at 250, it becomes equal to standard attack at ~83 Brawling (250 - (1.5*83.333) = 125). 

As such, keep an eye on the falling difficulty of the special attack as you use the standard attack to gain {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}}. Depending on your {{IL|Dangerous}}, you might find the special attack becomes '''easier''' (and more rewarding!) than the standard attack mid-way through the brawl.


===Rewards===

General principles:
Each {{IL|Brawling with Dockers}} seems to be worth 0.25 {{E}} in rewards. In addition to this, there is a 2.5 {{E}} bonus for cashing in, which makes sense considering that takes an action. This game values
*{{IL|Human Ribcage}} at 12.5 {{E}}
*{{IL|Justificande Coin}} and {{IL|Femur of a Jurassic Beast}} at 2.5 {{E}}
*{{IL|Bessemer Steel Ingot}} at 0.5 {{E}}.


Any surplus {{IL|Brawling with Dockers|Appearance=Brawling}} you may have is exchanged for a variable reward.
