Weaving tool

Weaving tools are a collection of tools that allow you to create weavable items from a wide variety of treasure system or other found objects. While not necessary to use the weaving system, they enable you to use a wider variety of materials for weaving. Each tool type is capable of turning a certain category into a weavable item, such as the awl for feathers or the scissors for ribbons. Weaving tools are often sold at events like Ebon Gate. The Evermore Hollow shop The Witching Flower sells all of the available tools plus additional items related to the weaving system. The lathe can be unlocked with a certificate from Quinton Manse, also at Evermore Hollow. Awl An awl can pierce a feather to convert it into a weavable item. Eligible feathers include those dropped by wizard familiars as well as NPC animals, like the toucan and parrot on Mist Harbor. Feathers found via a Jeepers Creepers Spyglass also work.

Lathe A lathe can carve a gemstone to convert it into a weavable item.
