Lucky me, so far I have used oil for hardened leather.
I still have a couple of thousand coal, and was burning it before I started using the oil, but now I will use the dry wood.
So, the oil is safe :wink: .

It took me so long to get all Black Blood tools that it is hard for me to use the pickaxe again :joy: .
I did get about 20 sickles, though :smile_cat: .

Indeed!, and because of the alchemists I quit squishing fish :tropical_fish: , now I only cook them for stats (the fish, not the alchemists :smiley: ).

“WHAT?!?! ANOTHER SICKLE?!?! GIVE ME ONE PICK, JUST ONE PICK AND I WILL STOP SLAUGHTERING ALL OF YOU! PINKY PROMISE!!” lol

I hear ya! But I never used a single black blood hatchet, or star metal hatchet, or any hatchet. Star Metal or Eldarium Pickaxe is the GOAT for farming trees. Gives same wood and branches as hatchet but added bonus of bark and resin - you’ll have more resin than you can use in insulated wood AND stone consolidant production. Put… the… hatchet… down… AND STEP AWAY FROM THE TREE! :smiley:

The point is pickaxe gives resin (and bark) and hatchet doesn’t, so if you’re farming wood with a hatchet and drying it to get resin you’re making hard work of it for yourself. Just use a pickaxe, can then make as much stone consolidant OR insulated wood as you like with less grind. Even if it’s a black blood hatchet, would not use it to farm wood, it’s not efficient unless you only want the wood. :slight_smile:

I just died a little inside reading this lol So many alternatives to burn.

Don’t you craft heavy epic armour? Or make weapon upgrades etc?

I mean, once you have a T4 alch and can pump out oil like a Rockefeller maybe if you have a chest full of it you could use it - but I am always scrambling for more oil until I hit that stage, even after I get the named alch I rarely have enough oil for epics.

My old clan leader told me off once for sneaking about 20 oil into a campfire to cook some steaks because I didn’t have any other fuel handy and need to grab the steaks and run. :stuck_out_tongue:

I forgot to mention that, after a week (literally weekend through weekend) of decimating the Darfari Cannibals population, I got the elusive Mask of the Wicth Doctor!
My “miner build” for farming depends on the Black Blood tools to reach full desired perks :wink:, I can not use the pickaxe until I hit 60 and can add extra points to the build.

Not that it matters after tomorrow but the mask of the WD, innkeeper shirt and pants, slight gloves and boots of the serpent mean you can cut your endurance down to 32 and survival down to 20.

A pick, not a pickaxe, used on a tree gives bark and resin but no wood and branches. If you’re farming for bark and resin it’s the best tool from the iron pick to the last tier. Stone pick gives only bark, that’s still useful early in the game before you can craft iron tools.
