WoodChopper Box

This article is a work in progress!

The WoodChopper Box was released during the 2022 run of Rumor Woods. Runestaffs and quarterstaffs, along with alter fodder branches dropped during Duskruin Dig and sold at Woodn't Yew. Extremely rare materials, such as illthorn, surita, and firewheel, will not be accepted in weapon form. LOOK/SHOW Oblong in shape, with a length of about six hands, the wooden box is an interesting device. Two glass buttons blink in tandem on the back of the box; the dull blue one blinks over a small drawer and the dull silver one flashes over a panel. Positioned between the two is a turn style knob that sits above a small window with the words, "Arrow Shafts" positioned in its center. At the top of the piece is a small door that dominates seven-eighths of the expanse, with the remaining space being occupied by a large, round lid. A window on the right side provides a view of the sawdust-lined interior. Tier 1 This is the off-the-shelf tier which creates basic wood blocks which can be used for forging.
