How To Craft Weapons
So, to get started, simply build a crafting station. Once you have that set up, you can use it to craft a new recipe, the Lumber Mill, specifically for the wooden rods.
The recipe includes the following materials:
- Wood x8 – Look for small trees and chop them down in the woods/forest around the starting area.
- Granite x15 – Early on, you can find them scattered around the grasslands.
Once you’ve crafted the wooden rod, congratulations, you’ve just unlocked the basic weapons, as well as shields!
