Tool Hammer

"tool for gathering all resources"

The is the main or first  in.

Technical

 * Tool hammer is obtained when you spawn (at Age 1), along with other materials.
 * This is the first you get once in the game, people use it to fight other age 1 players.
 * The Tool Hammer deals 25 damage per hit you do.
 * It can hit once every 0.3 seconds.
 * The move speed with the Tool Hammer is considered "normal speed" since it is the base weapon that all others upgrade from. All other weapon speeds are calculated using this speed.
 * It has a very short range.
 * When the Tool Hammer has been used to gather 3,000 which is a very long time based on the speed and the amount the Tool Hammer collects, it will turn into the Gold Tool Hammer. Consequently, using it to gather an additional 4,000 Resources. (7,000 resources total) will turn it into the Diamond Tool Hammer. Finally, another 5,000 Resources (12,000 total) are gathered, it will turn into the Ruby Tool Hammer.

Strategy
(Do not try fighting with the Tool Hammer, only if you are experimenting)
 * First, level it up to diamond or ruby by mining. This should take about 20 minutes, but it will do 30 damage instead of 25 damage.
 * If you level up to ruby, it will deal an extra 25 damage through poison damage which is handy.
 * Due to its low damage, use Bull Helmet to enhance it's damage and cause it to do 45 damage (if you have diamond or ruby tool hammer). Then it will be only 3-hits to kill a player, which is actually very effective
 * Use Blood Wings as your secondary so that you counteract the negative the health drainage of Bull Helmet.
 * Always have a high amount of food. You will need to food spam well because apples do not heal you well. (About +450 food is a good amount).
 * Consider having a teammate to help you fight and bust you out of pit traps
 * Use turret gear to damage opponents from a range
 * Use spikes in kill sequences. Try to surround them with spikes and bounce them into spikes
 * Do spike, hit, and turret gear combos. If you press e, press 5, space, and click on turret gear. It will activate a powerful sequence that will do 90 damage, as an age 1.

Using

 * The Tool Hammer is not so good for attacking players since it is one of the weakest weapons hence it being the first weapon you get in the game.
 * Try to avoid combat and find a good place to farm resources, resources near each other is a good bet.
 * It is possible to insta-kill anyone not wearing a Soldier Helmet by equipping the Bull Helmet with sufficient resource gathering. First, attack with tool hammer, then upgrading to Polearm and attack.
 * It is advised to upgrade the Tool Hammer as soon as possible, as most other weapons are better than the Tool Hammer in every way.
 * One exception to this rule would be when upgrading to the Polearm. Since the Tool Hammer gathers resources faster than the Polearm does, it should be used to level the player up, and the Polearm should be selected later.
 * As long as you have the tool hammer, you will be wearing a target on your chest. Experienced players love to prey on noobs (this is called spawnkilling) so don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. Avoid exploring very far alone. Focus on leveling up. Find a double-farm if possible which gives you 2x the resources. Triple-farms are even better, but there are often players camping by them, so be wary.
 * As the Tool Hammer has the second-fastest regular movement speed, you can use it to escape most opponents.
 * If possible, retreat as soon as an enemy player is sighted.
 * Some weapons, such as the Daggers, give a faster movement speed than the Tool Hammer does. Other times enemy players may wield speed-enhancing equipment such as the Booster Hat or Monkey Tail. In these situations, it will not be possible to escape by simply running away from them.
 * If you are near the River you may try using that to escape an enemy player.
 * As a last resort, you may have to use your tool hammer to try and fight them.
 * If you need to kill someone, do not keep on swinging your hammer randomly. Instead, swing only when you are close enough to hit the opponent.
 * This is advised because when you swing or shoot any weapon, it pushes you back ever so slightly, reducing your speed. Speed will be your only advantage in combat, so don't waste it.
 * You should also try to place Spikes in your enemy's path. This will keep them at bay while you run and deal more damage than your weapon.
 * Since most people believe players with the Tool Hammer are at Age 1, try gathering enough resources for a higher age but not immediately upgrading. If someone attacks you, you can quickly choose a weapon like the Short Sword or Polearm to take them by surprise.
 * If you are using tool hammer monkey tail is recommended, so you can escape. though it is not recommended to use tool hammer.

Against

 * The Tool Hammer has a short-range, so killing players with the Tool Hammer shouldn't be hard if you have a longer-ranged weapon like the Polearm or Katana.
 * Try using a Pit Trap to trap the enemy and then insta-kill them with a.
 * Unless you are using the Daggers, Mc Grabby or any that increases movement speed, chasing players with the Tool Hammer may not take long.
 * It may take a very long time to catch up to players with the Tool Hammer, and killing them yields almost nothing in return.
 * Some might argue that you should not kill players with the Tool Hammer, that you should be a good sport and let them live. But in the end, it's your decision, and most players with the Tool Hammer will be completely at your mercy.

Gold Variant
The Gold Tool Hammer resembles the regular Tool Hammer but with a wider end and a gold coloration. It ranks first among the Short Sword and Katana as one of the most difficult gold variants to obtain due to its low resource gathering rate. In addition, players with the Tool Hammer can't have Turrets, so the turret farming strategy cannot be used. The Gold tool hammer deals 28 damage.

Diamond Variant
The Diamond Tool Hammer is the diamond version of the Tool Hammer. It deals 30 damage to everything. The head of the hammer turns blue and the end of the hammer becomes more round than its gold counterpart.

Ruby Variant
The Ruby Tool Hammer is the ruby version of the Tool Hammer. It deals 30 damage and has the same bleed effect of all Ruby Weapons. It looks similar to the diamond variant, except it is red and has a golden orb in the middle.

Real Life Equivalent

 * The tool hammer probably originated from the crude weapons that the prehistoric people made by fixing a stone to a stick.
 * It is fitting that the first weapon in the game is also one of the first weapon created by man.
 * The tool hammer first appeared 3.3 million years ago and was used to break apart and shape other rocks and stones.

Trivia

 * The tool hammer is the first weapon in the game.
 * At Age 2, the tool hammer upgrades to either the Short Sword, Hand Axe, Polearm, Bat, Daggers, or the Stick.
 * With an attack speed of 0.3, the tool hammer has a higher attack speed than the Hand Axe and Polearm. This gives it a higher DPS than both weapons. It is also more powerful than the stick.
 * It can kill somebody (assuming they aren't healing, and neither of you has a hat) in 1.2 seconds. (.9 seconds with Bull Helmet.) If they have a Soldier Helmet, it can kill them in 1.5 seconds.
