Rock
The default tool every player spawns with. Weak at gathering and combat, used only until you craft a proper tool.
Crafting one takes 10× Stones, straight from your inventory — no workbench needed. A recycler breaks one down into Stones. 51 skins exist for it — see every Rock skin with live prices, topped by Gold Rock.
