How to Get Flint Tools

Craft Flint Tools at the Starter Beach

New World - Craft Flint Tools at the Starter Beach

Flint Tools can be crafted immediately upon landing in any one of the starting beaches. Collect Flint and Green Wood (from bushes), then head to the Watchtower where you can craft your first set of flint tools at the campfire.

The Wooden Fishing Pole will be harder to get resources for. You'll need to head inland, past the starter beach, and gather Fiber from Hemp Plants to craft your first fishing pole.
