All Tools skills
| Skill | Requires | Unlocks | Blueprint |
|---|---|---|---|
 Hook GunToolsStarting skillAn indispensable tool and faithful companion of most anglers. It helps retrieve cargo and materials from water and land, clear obstacles, and interact with mechanical objects. Losing your Hook Gun is like losing an arm. | None | None | — |
 Reinforced hook gripCraftBlueprint requiredModified hook-pistol grappling mechanism with a larger contact surface, faster winch, and rubber-coated teeth. Grips slippery surfaces far more reliably, though the improvised construction is not built for long-term use. | Crafting recipe | ||
 Geared hook gripCraftBlueprint requiredHigh-grip hook paired with a powerful winch. Lets you retrieve floating cargo much faster. The mechanism is unreliable, wears out with use, and cannot be repaired. | Crafting recipe | ||
 AxeToolsStarting skillAn axe cobbled together by local craftsmen from whatever they had on hand. Its design allows the blade to be upgraded with interchangeable attachments. | None | None | — |
 Serrated axe edgeCraftBlueprint requiredReinforcement plate made from the jaw of a large predatory fish. Naturally sharpened edges inflict ragged wounds and improve efficiency when smashing crates, breaking rotten doors, and threshing coral overgrowth. Powerful, but brittle. | Crafting recipe | ||
 Splitting AxeCraftBlueprint requiredSome might say this attachment is excessively brutal, even for a dying world. But when you encounter ghouls or smash barrels every day, there is no such thing as "excessive." | Crafting recipe | ||
 Crude LockpickCraftBlueprint requiredA makeshift tool filed from scrap metal. Rusty, brittle, and short-lived. | None | Crafting recipe | Blueprint required |
 LockpickCraftBlueprint requiredAn iron lockpick made by someone who knows the craft. Reliable enough in skilled hands and able to open most known locks. | Crafting recipe | Blueprint required | |
 Master LockpickCraftBlueprint requiredA true work of thieving art, forged from tempered alloy. It glides like silk, yet remains strong and reliable. | Crafting recipe | Blueprint required | |
 HarpoonCraftStarting skillA makeshift projectile for the harpoon gun. Do not expect too much from it. | None | Crafting recipe | — |
