Proto-tool

A Proto-tool is one of the rewards that can be purchased with points gained from playing the Stealing Creation activity. When the tool is operated, the player has the option to transform it into one of the following tools: hatchet, butterfly net, hammer, harpoon, knife, needle, or a pickaxe. All versions of the morphic tool can be used for normal actions (such as using a knife for fletching, or a hatchet for woodcutting), and double experience will be gained for using them. The tool starts at 100% charge, and when the charge is used up it disintegrates. The amount of charge remaining can be checked by right-clicking the tool and choosing Count-Charges. The life of the tool depends only on the amount of bonus experience received, not the number of times it is used.

This item is almost exactly like the volatile tool, except that the player gets to choose the transformation type. As a result, slightly less bonus experience is gained because of this choice. The colour is slightly different.

It is important to note that the morphic proto-tool, and any of its tool transformations, are not stackable in the player's bank. It is also important to note than many secondary uses of the transformed tools normal forms (hammer, knife, etc.), are not available to the sacred clay variants.

Note: If more than one tool of the same type is in the player's inventory (such as two or more sacred clay knives), the tool that appears first in the inventory will be used and the others will keep their charge.

Note that the tool no longer has a set number of times you can transform it, but instead it gives you a set amount of experience you can get, after which it crumbles to dust:

All XP rates vary depending on your current level. Please remember that these numbers are only approximations, not the exact figures.
