Knapping?
« on: November 19, 2010, 04:28:54 am »

I understand thats the skill for making sharp rocks, but I can't seem to do it. I can find rocks on the ground, but I can't seem to find 'small blunt' rocks for making the sharp one or however its supposed to work

You need to have the two rocks in your hand, or on the ground. They will disappear if you drop them in the biome(i think) in which they are found. So if you wanna drop them you'll have to travel away.

Yep. Pick up about a dozen rocks and then remove them from your back so they're all 'in hand' then you can use one rock on another to make sharp rocks.

They're great for throwing. I don't know if sharp rocks actually do more damage but it's very satisfying when a sharp rock pierces someone's eye and goes into the brain.

I think they do slightly more damage. At least it seemed that way when I threw them. Daggers are better for throwing, though.

Unless you have *sharp obsidian*, in which case you are wielding death incarnate.

I found obsidian on my last adventure and that's when I decided to take up knapping in earnest. :)
