Still hitting trees 10 times just to get basic wood? You’re doing it wrong! 🤡 We just found the locations for the “Big Three” Legendary Tools that will turn your resource grind into an automated empire. We’re talking about Olvald’s Logging Axe (Expert Logging for Flawless Timber!), Bernor’s Pickaxe (20% bonus ore!), and the mysterious Claw Fishing Rod that practically catches the fish for you. 😱🔥

The best part? You can grab most of these EARLIER than you think. From a secret door inside a giant tree at Long Branch Shade to a “scare-and-loot” tactic on a pier in Velour, we’ve got the exact map pins. Want to know how to skip the 3-day rubber harvest or where to find an infinite Ivory farm? 🐘✨

Don’t wait until Chapter 11 to realize you’ve been wasting time. Upgrade your tools NOW and start building that endgame gear! Full guide below. 👇🚀

For the average mercenary in the harsh lands of Pywel, the struggle for survival is often a struggle for resources. But a new class of “Legendary Tools” has surfaced, sparking a gold rush among players eager to automate their gathering and secure the elusive Flawless Timber and Diamonds needed for endgame gear.

As highlighted by Arekkz Gaming, these tools aren’t just minor upgrades; they are fundamental shifts in how the game is played, offering massive percentage bonuses and even “Auto-Collect” features that were previously thought to be locked behind late-game story chapters.

The Olvald’s Axe: A Door in a Tree

The journey for the ultimate wood-cutting tool, Olvald’s Logging Axe, begins in the north of Paloon at the Long Branch Shade Hideout. Hidden within a massive, vine-choked tree is a secret chamber containing a red book recipe [01:04].

However, crafting the axe is where the true challenge lies. It requires Rubber and Ivory, materials notorious for their slow harvest rates. Veterans have discovered a “Scholar Hack”: by gifting hides to researchers at the Scholar Stone Institute, players can bypass the 3-day rubber tree harvest entirely, receiving rubber as a high-tier trust reward [02:18]. For those who prefer the old-fashioned way, the Magic Scythe from Poran Village can harvest rubber trees instantly, but the tool itself is a high-level reward.

The ‘Scare-and-Loot’ Fishing Meta

Perhaps the most bizarre acquisition method involves the Claw Fishing Rod. Instead of a complex quest or a boss fight, the rod is held by a lone NPC at a local fishing spot near Velour [04:16].

“You don’t even have to fight him,” says one community guide. “You can just skydive in from a sky island to trigger a sonic boom, or simply pull out your shield and look at him. He’ll flinch, drop the rod, and you can just walk away with it.” [04:51]. The rod reportedly “automatically reels in fish,” though players are still debating whether this is a literal mechanic or a massive boost to the reeling window.

Bernor’s Pickaxe and the Chapter 11 Block

For the miners, Bernor’s Pickaxe is the gold standard. To unlock it, players must liberate Fort Manub and complete the “Lord of the Unclaimed Lands” side quest [05:21]. Once Bernor is available as a camp vendor, maxing his trust with copper bags reveals the recipe.

But the real “industrial revolution” happens at Chapter 11. The Chainsaw and Mining Knuckle Drill, which feature a full “Auto-Collect” function, are hard-blocked until players reach the Doo Haven Keep [06:23]. These high-tech tools are game-changers, allowing players to vacuum up materials without ever pressing the loot button.

The Camp Donation Secret

For those tired of venturing into crocodile-infested wetlands for sturdy hide, the most efficient method remains the camp donation system. By meeting specific donation thresholds, higher-tier resources like Flawless Timber begin spawning directly within the camp boundaries [07:11].

The Verdict: Work Smarter, Not Harder

Whether it’s the Olvald Axe with its 30% bonus or the Knuckle Drill with its automated gathering, the message to Pywel’s mercenaries is clear: if you are still using a basic pickaxe, you are losing money every second. The tools exist, the recipes are out there, and the material wall is only as high as your willingness to go find them.
