There is a bug that it cannot recognize the ore I have as the material for the Club.
How did you get the scales and the stone next to it?
The scales are from defeating the snakes found around the old man’s house. The ores are from the cave below the ship in starter beach. You need hammer to harvest them which requires you have level 3 crafting skill to make.
It's not a bug, you just have the wrong type of ore. You want the Bronze ore (looks brownish instead of black like coal).
Thanks, I have no idea there is a brownish one. I made the club finally.
