Item description[]
"And yet it moves. A piece, emission or work of the Dawn Machine."
Obtaining[]
Element of Dawn can only be obtained in the Grand Geode, by either:
- Selling the
Memento Mori to Dawn Machine partisans.
- Note that this will add
3 x Supremacy: The Dawn Machine, not just one.
- Note that this will add
- Buying from the Commodore when you have
Memoirs: a Sun-Stroke for:
1 x Vital Intelligence
7 x Crew
50 x Supplies
1 x Supremacy: The Dawn Machine
- Note: This the only way to obtain an Element of Dawn other than selling Memento Mori.
- Vital Intelligence, is mostly gained through time and labour. Essentially this part costs 500-600 echoes that you could have gained by selling it to Voracious Diplomat. (If you can afford to live with
1 x Supremacy: The Dawn Machine that you get from purchasing an Element of Dawn it means you can afford to sell the Vital Intelligence to Voracious Diplomat instead)
- The crew members cost 70 to 135 echoes to replenish (30 echoes in London for 2-3 Crew thus 10 to 15 each), unless you fancy sailing all around the map looking for rare opportunities and wasting SAYs on them.
- Considering the crazy amount of supplies required, Naples is probably your best option of getting them, so you could probably chalk that down as 5 echo per crate for a total of 250 (assuming that the fuel, crew and supplies you spend on the trip to the surface was not part of the cost since there was some other reason for you to to go there anyway at the time and it didn't conflict with you coming out of there with 50 crates of extra supplies ON TOP of whatever supplies and fuel you needed for the rest of the trip during which you bought the element of dawn). If not, there's Port Carnelian with 18 per crate for 900 total, or Iron Republic with 15 per crate for a total of 750. That said, those 50 crates of supplies could have instead been sold for as much as 1250 in the Iron Republic (assuming the time is right) or 1000 elsewhere assuming the trip (with all 50 crates) to wherever that happens to be is not otherwise inconvenient.
- Generally speaking though, the biggest problems with obtaining an element of the dawn are the cargo hold space required and the
1 x Supremacy: The Dawn Machine that comes with the purchase. The former means you need a heavy ship and the latter means that there's only so many times you can buy one before you cause irreparable damage to the admiralty.
- However, for most intents and purposes there's only one use for an Element of Dawn that warrants the cost - creating the Fulgent Impeller. Which means that you are going to need a heavy ship anyway (or more likely, it's your need for a heavy ship that created the need for Fulgent Impeller and thus the need for an Element of Dawn in the first place) and means that you only really have to deal with extra
1 x Supremacy: The Dawn Machine once which usually isn't that big a deal.
- Vital Intelligence, is mostly gained through time and labour. Essentially this part costs 500-600 echoes that you could have gained by selling it to Voracious Diplomat. (If you can afford to live with
