In Landmark you'll need to put in some elbow grease to get your Selection Tool!

This information is from the alpha build of Landmark and is subject to change.

You discover early on in EverQuest Next Landmark that you don't begin with every building tool and have to climb some ropes to obtain the more powerful ones. The Add, Delete and Heal tools are easily made, but what about one of the first powerful building tools--the Selection Tool?

This tool allows you to select a size volume, whether it be of existing material or emptiness, and add or subtract to it as you need. The amount of materials consumed are relative to the size selected, so you can easily spend 30,000 or more of a material with a medium-sized volume. We recommend adding a very common material such as dirt or stone when filling a volume, and save those rarer resources for when you obtain the Paint Tool later on.

To make a Selection Tool you need several Tier 2 materials, which means you'll need to upgrade your picks. To upgrade to the appropriate pick (Iron), follow this path (subject to change):

• Copper Pick: Uses raw Plain Wood Log x1000, Copper Ingot x10 and Elemental Copper x10
• Bronze Pick: Uses your Copper Pick, Plain Wood Plank x15, Burled Wood Plank x5, Tin Ingot x8, Elemental Tin x15 and Tourmaline x45
• Iron Pick: Uses Iron Ingot x15, Elemental Iron x15, Plain Wood Plank x30, Burled Wood Plank x3 and Aquamarine x45

Once you have the Iron Pick, you should be able to mine Copper, Tin, Tourmaline, Iron, Aquamarine, Silver and Topaz. To create your Selection Tool on a Stone Forge or greater, you'll need the following (again, subject to change):

• Iron Ingot x30
• Elemental Iron x30
• Topaz x10

Combine those together and you will have a very helpful building tool! If you're having trouble finding Topaz, I highly recommend the desert area of Hollow (T2).
