Dead Branch

Description
The Dead Branch is a tool item and weapon.

Where to obtain
Dead branches can be found in all biomes on Dead Trees.

How to obtain
Dead branches are very easy to grab from smaller dead trees.

Dead branches can also be collected by climbing up halfway a larger dead tree andshaking the tree. Shaking the tree in this fashion will make ten dead branches available to collect at the base of the tree, provided you shake the tree long enough.

Uses
Four Dead Branches on a stockpile can be used to build a Branch Barrier.

A Dead Branch can be altered by stripping to make a Stick.

A Dead Branch can also be altered into Stick by hitting with most rocks or hard tools.
 * A Stick can be altered into a SenseIcon SharpStick.pngened Stick by Hit ico 128.png hitting with most rocks or hard tools.

It also possible to transform a Dead Branch directly into a Sharpened Stick by hitting with most rocks or hard tools but it takes additional swings with the tool.

The Dead Branch can kill animals but breaks after use, so a single Dead Branch will not be enough if you plan on taking down any larger apex predators.
