How to Get the Saw

Craft During Tools of the Trade Contract

Tool	Crafting Requirements
Saw I	Metal Salvage x1 Torn Sail x2 Silver x20

The first Saw is unlocked as part of the tutorial, during the Tools of the Trade main contract. In this Contract, you will be required to craft a Saw I to progress.

Get the materials and silver needed (you likely already acquired these from the prologue). Go to the Carpenter, select Craft New Items, then select the Saw I and craft it.

How to Use the Saw

Harvest Wood from Gathering Spots

To use the saw, travel to a wood resource node; you should be able to find those using the Map. Maneuver close to the gathering spot until you see the Harvest prompt.

Then, play the mini-game to harvest the wood with the saw. To succeed in the minigame, hit the button when the indicator points to the colored spot of the tool. Hitting the green zone yields more resources compared to the yellow zone.

Note that there's no need to equip the Saw, because all tools are automatically equipped to you. After you craft the Saw, you'll immediately be able to harvest woods from any wood resource node.

Turn on Auto Harvest

If you prefer not playing the mini-game every time you harvest, you can turn on the Auto Harvest feature in the settings menu. Although this feature makes harvesting easier and impossible to fail, it also takes longer and gives you less resources per node.
