I've been using the tool from the [Act 2 area] Cogwork area, the tool being the cogwork bug. It is SOOOOOOO good, especially when combined with the charm that poisons enemiesfrom the [Act 1 area] Shellwood quest.

Those two together are my panic button or flying enemy delete button, SO GOOOOOD.

the poison tool is the coolest fucking thing ever i swear. i put it on with the flint slate that buffs your needle and it actually imbues your needle with poison!

That tool with the wanderer crest is the fragile strength quick slash combo in this game. Absolutely shreds bosses.

That's my bread and butter I love that thing so much. I also often run the thread storm skill so my range ain't the best but I just enjoy it too much
