Calling in favours
Success Instructions: In order to build the Admiralty's diving-bell, you'll need specialised tools. Most would be tricky to find, but the Youthful Naturalist has connections.

Currently, you still need to collect equipment from: • Port Cecil (with

• A Khaganian Patrol Vessel (with

• The Court of the Wakeful Eye (with

And one final word of warning! If you choose to sell the materials you acquire, then you won't be able to complete the project without re-acquiring more on your own.
