edit: if i got magnet i use deconstruct 3, and i forget to say most time i forge a full smart stack
protection past is overkill and 2 off protection and fate is to much, just use draining boon that give you enough points, i do this since long time and works great
the cheapest and easiest way, and i use any copper tool, they are fast and cheap and perfect to forge
titanium is balanced not swift and need alloy, it is in my opinion not worth
wood has to low dura, the forging mats cost more as the tool and the speed is not so fine
Well, hitting crops cant be done as fast as “mindless” breaking of large soil or rock blocks (unless you are happy with constant mishitting and not using 3x3 feature fully, which then means wasting durability, which you seem to value a lot, judging by what you said above).
With crops you need to be precise, move along and aim at the center of 3x3 block - having super fast tool for crop harvesting is counterproductive in my opinion.
Most importantly: a few different ideas that people seem to have about crop harvesters seem to work just fine for those who use them; it’s good when a game allows different ways of achieving one goal and that different styles of play can be expressed through variety of tools stats and forging methods.
yeah everyone has his own preferred tools for use
in this game you can nearly never say something is wrong, like in mining and building, everyone like some other ways
Ehh, ‘best’ is different for everyone. I’d say that’ll have too high damage for the action speed it has that it’ll most likely break soil blocks when harvesting with my farming character. Not to mention it uses much more energy, and will be far more expensive.
This is what I use, doesn’t miss any crops if used by my farming character with max dexterity, tool mastery & epic, and no agility as it still swings fast enough. Still has low enough damage to never break any soil blocks, has about the same durability as gem tools and most importantly, very cheap. I sell these at 1000c each and still get a profit.
The axes are too slow in my opinion .
I ll Take Topas too because they are the fastest of all and easy to get and they dont Break the bottom If you are running .
Forge them with speed and Dura.
The speed doesn’t need to be so high, as I think from about 85 to 117 its the same hits per second (speed 6 should give the same practical results), and wood can’t go past 110 anyway.
The heavy duty and speed are kinda by products really.
If you didn’t want to forge as much, you don’t need them.
I only ever forge full stacks!
As special is the only gum that has 2 boons in this set up (the others have just 1), it doesn’t take much to forge at all!
