Known uncertainty

Same open items as Broo Tarquin: whether unlocking him leads to any further Engineer is not confirmed

This guide covers only the steps to reach Broo Tarquin. For what he specialises in, his full blueprint catalogue, and his place in the wider Engineer network, see his own article — this page deliberately doesn't repeat that.

Objective

Gain access to Broo Tarquin's services at Broo's Legacy in the Muang system.

Prerequisites

Before you begin

• Hera Tani already unlocked, with enough reputation built up with her to trigger the referral (community sources describe this as roughly grade 3–4 standing).
• Combat rank Competent or higher.

Required Materials, Equipment, and Access

A ship with enough cargo capacity to carry 50 units of Fujin Tea, purchased from Futen Spaceport in the Fujin system — it's typically sold only 5 tons at a time, so plan on several supply runs rather than one trip.

Estimated Time

Not yet confirmed — depends heavily on how far Fujin is from your current location and how much Fujin Tea is in stock per visit. Not stated in the sources checked for Broo Tarquin.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Procedure

1. Unlock and build reputation with Hera Tani until Broo Tarquin appears as a referral.
2. Reach Combat rank Competent or higher, if not already there.
3. Travel to Futen Spaceport in the Fujin system and buy Fujin Tea, a few tons at a time, until you have 50 units.
4. Travel to Broo's Legacy in the Muang system.
5. Deliver the 50 units of Fujin Tea at his terminal.

Expected Result

Expected result: Broo Tarquin appears in your Engineers list with access to his laser weapon blueprints. Station services may not appear immediately — relogging is commonly reported to make them available.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes

• Confusing Broo Tarquin's unlock commodity with Hera Tani's — they're adjacent in the same chain and easy to mix up. Broo Tarquin needs Fujin Tea, not Kamitra Cigars (that's Hera Tani's requirement). See the note on Broo Tarquin's own page for how this mix-up happened during EDFM's own research.
• Trying to buy all 50 units of Fujin Tea in one visit — it's typically limited to 5 tons per purchase, so budget for repeat trips.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Broo Tarquin doesn't appear as a referral even with Hera Tani unlocked

Reputation with Hera Tani may not yet be high enough — keep engineering through her until the referral triggers.

Engineering options don't appear at Broo's Legacy after delivering the commodity

Try relogging — this is commonly reported to be needed before newly unlocked Engineer services become available.
