A saucepan is a weapon and water container used in cooking.
Usage
Weapon
As of build 41 the saucepan can be used as a weapon. It can only be used as a weapon when empty.
Water storage
A saucepan can be filled with water from a water source, producing a saucepan with water. To fill a saucepan: Right-click on a water source and "Refill Saucepan". It can hold the equivalent of 20 mugs of water. It is an alternative storage space for water to water bottles, and is automatically drunk by the player to satiate thirst. However, saucepans are significantly heavier than standard water bottles.
A saucepan can be used to purify tainted water, which is dirty water found in unsanitary sources, such as a lake or rain.
Condition
The saucepan has a maximum condition of 5. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing condition can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (10 + 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 | Short blunt level | Condition lower chance | Average condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/10 (10%) | 50 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/12 (8%) | 60 |
| 0 | 8 | 1/14 (7%) | 70 |
| 4 | 0 | 1/14 (7%) | 70 |
| 8 | 0 | 1/18 (6%) | 90 |
| 4 | 4 | 1/16 (6%) | 80 |
| 4 | 8 | 1/18 (6%) | 90 |
| 8 | 8 | 1/22 (5%) | 110 |
| 10 | 10 | 1/24 (4%) | 120 |
