 is considered a Memoirs Quality in Sunless Sea.

Item description

Game note: Once per game, something pleasant will happen 

Obtaining
 can be obtained at Avid Horizon, Irem, Abbey Rock, the Isle of Cats, or The Uttershroom if you do not already possess it.

Usage

Taking the 'Search the Surroundings' option at one of the ports listed above will get you a bundle of miscellaneous goods and 1x Beginner's Luck, which will lock the option off at the other ports.

Strategies

Arguably, the best place to use Memoirs: Beginner's Luck is at the Avid Horizon. After accepting the The First Curator commission, you can acquire the Eyeless Skull quite early, giving you a much needed Captivating Treasure. In addition, you can acquire a Hunter's Eye at the same location, giving you an additional Captivating Treasure, making a trip to the Avid Horizon early quite profitable. In addition, it will give you an Empty Mirrorcatch Box which might be difficult to get in the very early game, and will help you complete the first step in the Tireless Mechanic's story. The worst place is Port Cavendish at the Isle of Cats, as you can acquire all of the same benefits plus more at other locations. A close second is Irem, as a Searing Enigma is required for a number of objectives, and still sells for 1000 echos at The University, but without aggressive early exploration, it might come too late in the game.
