Editing Tools (section)

=Equipable Tools - General Information =
These tools must be equipped in order to conduct [[Refining]], [[Gathering]], and [[Production]].

===Properties of Equipable Tools===
:* [[Prosperity Tool|Prosperity Tools]] and [[Artisan Tools]] do not lose durability (i.e they are indestructible and do not break; therefore, they never need repair). Also, they cannot be Engraved.
:* Standard (Non-Engraved) Tools and Engraved Tools have the following properties:
:** They lose 1 point of [[Durability]] each time they are used.
:** They will ''not'' function when they have zero durability (i.e. the tool is broken).
:** A [[Repair Kit - Tool]] can be used to restore durability to the tool (drag and drop the repair kit onto the tool).

:A Standard (Non-engraved) Tool can be converted into an Engraved Tool by dragging and dropping a [[Tool Engraving Kit]] onto the Standard Tool. Engraving the tool adds positive (and sometimes negative) bonuses to the tool depending on the type of Engraving kit that is used. 

===Repairing Equipable Tools===
:* [[Prosperity Tool|Prosperity Tools]] and [[Artisan Tools]] do not lose durability (i.e they are indestructible and do not break; therefore, they cannot be repaired).
:* Standard (non-engraved) tools and Engraved Tools ''can'' be repaired (even if they are broken with zero [[durability]]). Repair is accomplished by either of the following methods (the repair kit is consumed during the repair):
:** Drag and drop a [[Repair Kit - Tool]] onto the tool.
:** Right click on the tool and select "Repair" from the menu (this will only work if you have a [[Repair Kit - Tool]] in your inventory).

===How to Equip & Unequip a Tool===
:There are two ways to equip/unequip a tool.
:* Method 1 - open your [[Inventory]] window by pressing the "I" key or by clicking on the backpack icon in the upper right of the game window. Click the cog icon in the upper right of the Inventory window and make sure "Show Equipped Tools" is selected (when the "Show Equipped Tools" mode is activated, the menu will list "Hide Equipped Tools" as an option rather than "Show Equipped Tools"). Place the tool in your inventory, then right-click the tool and select "Equip (Tool)" to equip the tool. To unquip the tool, find it on your inventory list , right-click on it, and select "Unequip (Tool)". Note: Equipable tools will show up under the "All items" tab and the "Crafting" tab in the Inventory Window.
:* Method 2 - open your [[Skills]] window  by pressing the "K" key or by clicking on the Stained Glass Window icon in the upper right of the game window and selecting "Skills" from the menu. Select the "Crafting" tab in the skills window, then (on the left side of the window), click on the icon for the crafting modality for which your tool will be used (e.g. Click on the "Mining" icon if you want to equip a [[Pickaxe]]). In the lower mid portion of the window you will see a small box labelled "equipped".  To equip the tool, drag and drop the tool into the box. To unequip the tool, drag it out of the box and drop it into your inventory (or you can right-click on the tool in the box and select "Unequip (Tool)").

===Where to Get Equipable Tools===
* Standard (Non-Engraved) Tools can be purchased from NPC [[Crafting Supplies Merchant]]s and some other crafting related NPC [[Merchant Types]].
* Engraved tools are made by applying a [[Tool Engraving Kit]] to a Standard (Non-Engraved) Tool.
* [[Prosperity Tool]]s can be purchased in the [[Crown Shop]].
* [[Artisan Tools]] were given out as Pledge Rewards during initial game development, and can no longer be obtained (unless another player is willing to part with their Artisan Tool).
