What transfers to new captain?

[RRedux]

I am very close to fulfilling an ambition for the first time, and I am wondering, what exactly transfers to a new captain?

I've read some info about it but never really found a 100% answer.

I am wondering if I should sell of sky-stories and tales of terror and stuff, or if they get transferred to some degree to the next captain.

I assume that things that transfer are mostly material things, like echos and equipment, and also the various affiliations to some degree, so I wouldn't be surprised if stories, searing enigmas etc doesn't transfer, but I'd like to know for sure.

Any help/information would be appreciated.

Your chart
Half of your Soveregins
A percentage of your Experience
Your locomotive
All but one piece of slotted equipment
Everything in the bank
A number of affilaition items depending on their value and what level your affiliation is at.


If for example your Academe quality is 10 and you have the following Academe possessions items......
- 8 x Searing Enigma
- 8 x Condemned Experiment

Then you'll inherit
- 8 x Searing Enigma
- 2 x Condemned Experiment

Hope that helps.

Related Question: If, after completing an ambition, I elect to start fresh and begin a brand new game, will an item gained FROM completing the ambition persist for captains not of that particular lineage? Sort of like the boke of sharps and related items did in Sunless Sea?

No it won't. Any persistent qualities like the Heirlooms only pass on from direct lineages, so if you click New Game from the tltie screen and start a completely new campaign your new captain will not have those items.

So it prioritizes higher tier possessions?
If so, thats nice.

It's good to know it's not random.

If I die, I'll be glad I keep the crimson promise that I spent some time earning.

So other words put as many things in the bank as you can if that's what you're telling me.

So are there legacy bonuses? Or do you just get gear?

I believe I read that some of your story progress transfers as well correct? I'm wondering some about the details of that. Will decisions of supporting one faction over another carry between captains?

Stovepipes/tackies is supposed to carry over as well as some other early game quests (Hybras and the flower place are the only ones I know of).

One additional thing not mentioned yet that kinda sorta transfers is the persistance of crew quests. I found a crew member again after completing all their quests and they had their bonus.
A mixed blessing, because I have completed most quests while playing a revolutionary, and now half the crew only gives bonus veils. I mean, we are drowning in sneakyness.
