I went on the pirate ship in the Imperial City Waterfront by jumping on the small balcony with a door to captains quarters. Inside I found a note (I don't know exactly where) saying:
"Remove the top first
Reach inside and take out all the parts, being careful to note the order.
Put the carving onto the rod.
Reinsert the parts in order you removed them.
Peal the top with pine tar."
Is there some use in this note or is it just another throw-me-away kind of note saying nonsense?
