Tools: Difference between revisions

==Obtaining==

Some tools can be obtained by breaking [[Loot_Vessels|Tool Cracked Vessels]], which can be found in most [[Ruins|ruins]].  

All tools can be obtained by the different [[Crafting|crafting mechanics]] in the game. For most tools, the process usually entails making a top piece of a tool by either [[Knapping|knapping]], [[Casting|casting]] or [[Smithing|smithing]] and then combining it with a stick on the crafting grid.

==Usage==

Materials can be crafted or processed by using tools in the crafting grid with the material to process.  

Some blocks have a "preferred tool", meaning they can only be broken with certain tools or tool tiers. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is broken. If used for its intended block, the ranking of tool materials, from worst to best in terms of breaking speed, are: Stone, Flint, Obsidian, Gold, Silver, Copper, Bismuth bronze, Tin Bronze, Black Bronze, Iron, Meteoric Iron, and Steel

Different tools have different amounts of durability, meaning some take more uses before they break than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. If used for its intended purpose, the ranking of tool materials, from worst to best in terms of durability, are: Stone, Flint, Obsidian, Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin Bronze, Bismuth Bronze, Black Bronze, Iron, Meteoric Iron, and Steel.
