Crooks & Silkworms

The first tool you make, and the start of string, saplings and the whole tree farm.

Crooks#

Break leaves with a crook and they drop more: extra saplings, sticks and silkworms. There are two crooks, both crafted like a shepherd's staff:

Bone Crook

• #Bone

Wooden Crook

• #Stick

A crook does more than break leaves:

• Use it on an animal to tug it toward you.
• Use it on a fruit tree's trunk to shake every ripe fruit down.
• Bones repair crooks in an anvil.

Silkworms and string#

1. Crook leaves until you get a Silkworm.
2. Use it on any leaves. They start turning white, and the infestation spreads to the leaves around them.
3. Fully white leaves are infested leaves. Break them for String.

Silkworms can also be cooked into Cooked Silkworm, and held in either hand they work as bait when fishing in brine.
