Engineering Skill Guide

Overview

The Engineering skill allows players to upgrade a variety of utility tools — chisels, hammers, pickaxes, knives, lobster pots, and harpoons — by combining materials such as metal bars, logs, and specialized parts. This skill integrates with automation menus, a reputation system, and task masters to provide progression and depth.

Tool Tiering and Upgrades

Each tool starts at a base tier (e.g., Bronze) and can be upgraded through increasingly rare materials and higher Engineering levels, progressing through Iron, Steel, Mithril, Adamant, Rune, and finally Dragon tiers.
