Category:Public Tools

This category is for tools that are permanent fixtures in towns and can be used by any player.

• All public tools are only used in production.
• These tools can only be used in towns and have fixed locations, similar to the fixed locations of most NPCs.
• They cannot be moved, equipped or stored in any type of inventory.
• To use these tools other production tools may need to be equipped in the right or both hands.
• Unless other production tools need to be equipped first, then to start using a public tool a player need only left-click on it and, if neccesary, the appropriate skill will activate, assuming the player has the skill.
  • The exception to this are Windmill (Public), Furnace (Public) and Old Furnace (Public) which require talking to an NPC first and then having to make some form of payment for their use.
• Most public tools have no charge for using them.
• More than one player can use them at the same time.
• They can be re-used indefinitely, as they have neither durability or a set number of uses.
• Their continuous use, at any one time, is only limited by the supply of production materials a player can carry and a player's stamina.
  • The exception to this are Windmill (Public), Furnace (Public) and Old Furnace (Public) which also have time limits.
• Some of these tools are required when using one of the following production skills;
  • Blacksmithing, Cooking, Refining or Weaving.
