Ball-peen Hammer
A ball-peen hammer is a tool used to craft furniture and dismantle tiles.
Usage
Carpentry
Similar to the hammer, the ball-peen hammer is required for most carpentry recipes. It can also be used for barricading doors and windows, however, it is important to note that while it can place barricades, it cannot remove them.
Weapon
The ball-peen hammer can be used as a melee weapon. It deals a moderate amount of damage but has a short range and low knockback. It is almost identical to the normal hammer, apart from having a 7° wider radius of attack.
Destroying doors
The ball-peen hammer can be used to destroy doors, but it only deals 9 damage per swing. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Chopping trees
The ball-peen hammer cannot be used to chop trees as it deals 0 damage per swing. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Condition
The ball-peen hammer has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (30 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blunt skills.
| Maintenance skill | Weapon skill | Durability lower chance |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/30 (3%) |
| 0 | 4 | 1/32 (3%) |
| 0 | 8 | 1/34 (3%) |
| 4 | 0 | 1/34 (3%) |
| 8 | 0 | 1/38 (3%) |
| 4 | 4 | 1/36 (3%) |
| 4 | 8 | 1/38 (3%) |
| 8 | 8 | 1/42 (2%) |
| 10 | 10 | 1/44 (2%) |
