Quick Links
InNo Rest for the Wicked, the Shovel, Woodcutter’s Axe, Fishing Rod, and Pickaxe are all basic tools required to obtain raw resources like clay, wood, fish, and ores. These resources have multiple uses in the game, and it’s always better to grab these items when players get the chance.
Finding these basic tools allows players to take advantage of any resource deposits they find around the map, making sure they are not forced to come away empty-handed. Luckily, most basic tools can be found in the overworld without having to purchase them from a merchant. Here’s how to get them.
Woodcutter’s Axe
The Woodcutter’s Axe is locatednortheast of where the player character gets shipwreckedon the beach. It will be a blue glowing pickup next to a metal grate with a yellow light coming out of it.
After equipping it, the Woodcutter’s Axe allows players to chop down trees to get to wood. The trees in the early area are all Pine Trees that drop Pine Wood, aweapon upgrade material.
Fishing Rod
The Fishing Rod can be found on the beach directlysouth of the first Whisper(The Shallows). It shows up as a blue glowing pickup next to a dead body and a dig spot. Players can use the Pine Fishing Rod right at this beach if they move a bit closer to the water.
Fish inNo Rest For the Wickedare primarily used ascooking ingredientsfor recipes like the Fish Skewer to restore HP and Focus.
Pickaxe
The Pickaxe can be found in the dilapidated structuredirectly north of the Shallows Whisperon wooden scaffolding circling the outer edge of the second floor. To get to this location, players will need to defeat a Risen archer standing by a ladder (pictured above).
The Copper Pickaxe allows players to mine for ores and coal at ore deposits. Ores are mainly used as weapon upgrade materials and for completing construction tasks at Danos.
Shovel
Unlike all the other basic tools, the Shovel does not have a fixed location where it spawns. There are two methods that players can use to get the Shovel:
Equipping the Shovel in the tools slot unlocks the ability to dig for items. This is the only reliable way of obtaining clay in the game.
Fillmore also sells all other Basic Tools for players who may have missed them during exploration.
