How to make Nail
Nail is made rather than found. The recipe is below with every ingredient resolved down to something you can actually go and collect, rather than stopping at the first line the way a recipe list does.
Making it instead
Nail is made, not found. This is what it takes.
| Makes | From | Work |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Nail | 1× Ingot | 1,500 |
Everything Nail needs, all the way down
Ingredients that are themselves crafted are expanded here. A recipe list that stops at the first line sends you off to look up four more pages; this is the whole tree.
Chests, expeditions and gathering nodes
The game stores these as weights rather than percentages — an item’s chance is its weight against everything else in the same grade. The odds below are that division done, so you can compare a route against hunting.
| Source | Type | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junk Grass2 | 22.2% | 2–4 | |
| Junk Forest | 20% | 3–5 | |
| Junk Grass1 | 20% | 1–3 |
