How to Craft Stone Hatchet in Ark Survival Ascended

Welcome to this friendly guide on how to craft a Stone Hatchet in Ark Survival Ascended! The Stone Hatchet is an essential tool that requires specific materials like Flint, Wood, and Thatch. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of crafting this handy tool.

Gathering Materials

To begin crafting a Stone Hatchet, you'll need to gather the necessary materials. These materials include Flint, Wood, and Thatch. Let's take a closer look at how to obtain each of these materials.

A. Obtaining Flint from Rock Deposits

Flint is a crucial resource in Ark Survival Ascended, and you can find it by harvesting rocks. Look for large boulders or rock formations scattered throughout the game world. To gather Flint, approach a rock and use your character's primary attack or a tool like a Pickaxe to strike the rock. Each strike has a chance to yield Flint as a resource. Keep striking the rocks until you have enough Flint to craft your Stone Hatchet.

B. Harvesting Wood from Trees

Wood is another essential material for crafting a Stone Hatchet. Luckily, there are plenty of trees in the game world that provide an abundant supply of wood. To gather Wood, approach a tree and strike it with your character's primary attack or a tool like an Axe. Each strike will yield a certain amount of Wood. Keep gathering Wood until you have enough to craft your Stone Hatchet.

C. Gathering Thatch from Trees (Be cautious about damaging your character)

Thatch is a resource that can be obtained by harvesting trees, but it's important to be cautious when doing so. When you strike a tree to gather Thatch, there is a chance that your character may take damage from the recoil. To minimize the risk, it's recommended to use a tool like a Hatchet or a tame creature with high Harvesting capabilities. Strike the trees until you have enough Thatch to craft your Stone Hatchet.

Crafting the Stone Hatchet

Now that you have gathered all the necessary materials, it's time to craft your Stone Hatchet. Follow these steps to complete the crafting process:

A. Accessing Your Inventory

To begin crafting, you'll need to access your character's inventory. On most platforms, you can do this by pressing the "I" key on your keyboard or selecting the inventory option from the game menu. Once you have accessed your inventory, you'll be able to see all the items and crafting recipes available to you.

B. Identifying Required Materials

Within your character's inventory, locate the crafting menu or tab. This menu will display all the available crafting recipes based on the materials you have in your inventory. Look for the recipe for the Stone Hatchet and ensure you have the required materials, including Flint, Wood, and Thatch.

C. Crafting the Stone Hatchet

Once you have confirmed that you have all the required materials, select the recipe for the Stone Hatchet. This will initiate the crafting process, and after a short period of time, your Stone Hatchet will be added to your inventory. Congratulations on successfully crafting your Stone Hatchet!

Equipping and Using the Stone Hatchet

Now that you have your Stone Hatchet, it's time to equip it and put it to good use. Follow these steps to equip and use your Stone Hatchet effectively:

A. Placing the Stone Hatchet in the Quick Inventory Slot

To equip your Stone Hatchet, access your character's inventory and locate the quick inventory slot. This slot allows you to assign items for quick access during gameplay. Drag your Stone Hatchet from your inventory and place it in the quick inventory slot. This will enable you to easily access and use your Stone Hatchet whenever needed.

B. Understanding Durability

Like all tools and weapons in Ark Survival Ascended, the Stone Hatchet has a durability value. Durability represents the amount of use the item has left before it breaks. When you use the Stone Hatchet to gather resources or attack enemies, its durability will decrease. Keep an eye on the durability of your Stone Hatchet to ensure it doesn't break at an inconvenient time.

C. Recrafting when Durability Reaches 0

When your Stone Hatchet's durability reaches 0, it will break and become unusable. When this happens, you'll need to recraft a new Stone Hatchet using the same materials and crafting process outlined earlier. It's always a good idea to have spare materials on hand to quickly recraft a new Stone Hatchet when needed.

Congratulations! You've successfully learned how to craft a Stone Hatchet in Ark Survival Ascended using Flint, Wood, and Thatch. Remember to equip it in your quick inventory slot for easy access during gameplay. Just keep an eye on its durability, as it will eventually break and require recrafting when it reaches 0.

The Stone Hatchet is a versatile tool that allows you to gather resources efficiently and defend yourself against enemies. It's an essential item for survival in the challenging world of Ark Survival Ascended. Happy crafting and have a great time exploring and surviving in Ark Survival Ascended!
