Survival White Wand

Post#1 » Tue Oct 06, 2026 10:30 am

Currently I'm doing Vagrant's Endeavor + Traveling Craftsman ... as caster.
After couple levels it dawned on me that I'm out of any kind of wand up to lvl 60.

The only wands I can craft are green - cant use. The only white wands are vendor - cant use.
While other classes can do this journey and craft their own white gear, casters are left out. Out of significant part of toolset.

I suggest making white wands (which can be bought) a survival craftable item, goes in line with other various white weapons in survival skill.

OR if we dont want to give Survival trainer magic item.

Creating "snapped" alternative to white wands as in:
Withered Wand -> Snapped Withered Wand. Quest item randomly found in trees.
Present the item to local Survival trainer, (get some wood, some magic stuff - corresponding the the level bracket) and fetching items teaches the skill for crafting

Each bracket of Trees: Simple/Shade etc gives corresponding lvl of white Snapped wand quest item.
----------------------------------------------------
QUEST
""What do we have here? Hand that over..."

X inspects the snapped piece of wood, running a thumb over the charred scorch marks along its grip.

"This isn't ordinary timber, adventurer. Look closely at these faint sigils—this is a Snapped Withered Wand. Some mage likely dropped it here during a skirmish years ago, and the forest simply swallowed it up over time. It took a severe beating in that fight, and your axe didn't do it any favors.

The magic in it is long dead, but I can splice the shaft back together so it holds its shape. We'll need a Bundle of Simple Sticks to reinforce the frame, some Refreshing Spring Water, and a pinch of Strange Dust. Mixing the dust into the water creates a fine, glowing binding paste that re-ignites just enough magic to bond the wooden core.

Finally, bring me a bolt of Linen Cloth. We'll soak the fabric in the paste and wrap the splints tight so the binding holds forever.

Fetch the supplies, and I'll patch up this wand for you."

Required items:
[Snapped Withered Wand] (1/1)
[Bundle of Simple Sticks] (0/6)
[Strange Dust] (0/2)
[Refreshing Spring Water] (0/1)
[Bolt of Linen Cloth] (0/2)
-----

Completion:
"Ah, you've brought the materials. Stand back and watch close—I'm only going to demonstrate this technique once."

X pours the Refreshing Spring Water over the Strange Dust, stirring it into a smooth, glowing paste. After soaking the linen strips, X tightly wraps the splints along the fracture. A tiny spark of pale light flickers along the seam as the magic sets the bond completely firm.

"There. Now that you've seen how to mix the paste and lash the splints correctly, you can craft these yourself whenever you need one."

I think this is a flavorful suggestion.

Also, introduce some craftable white (Common) throwing weapon.

Rusted Iron Star - Item-Triggered Quest
-----
Your axe strikes something dense embedded deep within the heartwood. Clearing away the splinters and moss, you pry out a heavy, corroded piece of metal—a Rusted Iron Star.

The edges are dull and pitted with age, but the core balance is still true. It looks like a thrown weapon from a long-forgotten battle, swallowed by the tree over decades.

With a bit of patience at an anvil, you can clean and restore this weapon yourself. You'll need a Cleaning Cloth to scrub off caked grime and tree sap, a Rough Stone to grind away deep rust and hone the four pointed edges, and a Flask of Oil to treat the metal so it won't flake away.

Gather the supplies and head to a local anvil to rework the star.

Objectives
Restore the Rusted Iron Star using a Cleaning Cloth, Rough Stone, and Flask of Oil while standing near an Anvil.

[Rusted Iron Star] (1/1)
[Cleaning Cloth] (0/1)
[Rough Stone] (0/1)
[Flask of Oil] (0/1)
Requires Anvil

Completion
Teaches Skill: [Recipe: Iron Throwing Star]

Requires Survival (Skill level XY)
Requires Tool: [Blacksmith Hammer]
Requires Station: [Anvil]
Reagents required to craft:
1x [Iron Bar]
1x [Flask of Oil]
