22 Overview

44 Tools in Windrose are gathering and utility items used to extract resources, build or reshape terrain, and solve quest objectives. The full lineup includes four axe tiers (chopping Wood and Hardwood), four pickaxe tiers (mining Stone and ore), the Shovel (digging and terrain shaping), and the Simple Fishing Rod (fishing only). Every tool is crafted at either the Workbench or the Weaponsmith Workshop, and every axe or pickaxe tier above Stone requires a corresponding ingot.

99 Stat display follows the in-game item panel: Durability is the tool's health pool, ATK is the damage applied to a resource node or enemy, Item Level is the item's internal tier index, and Weight is the inventory encumbrance value. The damage type on every tool is Crude.

1111 Axes
1212  
1313 Axes chop Wood and trees and can also break wooden crates at world Points of Interest. The basic Stone Axe handles soft Wood but cannot cut Hardwood. Copper Axe is a faster soft-wood tool with higher durability but still cannot chop Hardwood trees, per the item's own description. Iron Axe is the first axe that can bite into the Foothills' Hardwood, making it the real mid-game gate for any recipe that needs Hardwood (carpentry station upgrades, reinforced furniture, ship keels). Swamp Axe is the endgame option crafted from Ingot Arborum at the Weaponsmith Workshop and is designed for cursed trees in the Arborum biome.

1515 Pickaxes
1616  
1717 Pickaxes mine stone and ore nodes. The pickaxe tier you hold gates the ore tier you can mine: Stone Pickaxe is required to harvest Copper Ore, Clay, and Fertile Soil (the prerequisite for Farming via a Seedbed). Copper Pickaxe unlocks Foothills Iron Ore, which drives the full iron chain. Iron Pickaxe opens Sulfur nodes, which in turn feeds the Millstone and the Homemade Gunpowder supply. Swamp Pickaxe is the endgame pickaxe for the hardest Arborum stone.

2121 The Shovel is the one tool that does something neither an axe nor a pickaxe can: it excavates buried ground. It is required for the treasure-dig quest chains, for digging worm bait used on the Simple Fishing Rod, and for terrain shaping around base plots via its Raise and Flatten modes. The Simple Fishing Rod is the launch-build fishing tool and the only item in the roster that carries no combat stat block.

2626 Loot Sources Summary
2727  
2828 Most tools are craft-only, but a handful appear as guaranteed chest drops in specific POIs. Use these as recovery options if your current tool breaks mid-run rather than as a primary farming target.

3131 The Stone Axe, Copper Axe, Swamp Axe, Swamp Pickaxe, and Simple Fishing Rod are craft-only: no current chest, mob, or named-NPC source has been surfaced for these five tools.

3535 No tool in the roster is bought or sold by any vendor. Every tool is either crafted at a Workbench or a Weaponsmith Workshop, or recovered from the chest sources listed above.

3737 Durability and Repair
3838  
3939 Every axe, pickaxe, and the Shovel carries an explicit durability pool that ticks down with use. Higher tiers both hit harder and last longer, so the jump from Stone to Copper is as much about three-times-as-many swings per tool as it is about raw damage. The Simple Fishing Rod does not expose a durability or ATK value in the item panel. Keep a spare stack of materials for your current tier tool so a broken pickaxe in the middle of a mining run is a five-second detour rather than a trip back to base.
