Obtaining

Metal Saw

Metal Saws can only be made from tool metals. They can be cast in ceramic molds, or worked on a metal anvil.

Casting

Main article: Casting

Bismuth Bronze, Black Bronze, Bronze, and Copper Saws can be cast using a Vessel or a Ceramic Mold instead of working on an anvil.

Smithing

Main article: Working

Saw Blades can also be crafted by using ingots on an anvil with a hammer. This is the only option for higher tier metals that cannot be cast. The durability depends both on the metal used and the skill of the smith forging the tool.
