Beginner's shield Recipie

• Before we get into the recipie, when this recipie refers to combining two things, this refers to putting two items together to make a new one. This is acomplished by putting the items in your hands, then pressing T. this is the combine key, and will make them into a new item.
• First you are going to start by either having 8 string, or 80 grass you can use to make 8 string.
• to make a string you need to have a minimum of 10 grass, it takes 10 grass to make 1 string. simply put grass in both your left and right hand then hit T to combine. this will use up 10 grass and give you 1 string.
• repeat this until you have 8 string.
• The process of making the bent metals involves Forging. Forging is when you combine two items over a fire, as it is in real life. It differs from normal crafting, first you need to be standing on the same tile as a fire when combining the items, and you need to keep pressing T to combine the items until it is fully forged
• Now you need to forge a piece of metal with a hammer on your fire. you will have to keep hitting T until it is completely forged and you have a bent metal in your inventory.
• repeat this process a total of 8 times so you end up with 8 pieces of bent metal.
• now you need to combine all 8 pieces of bent metal with your 8 pieces of string. to do this put string in one hand and bent metal in the other and hit T to combine. this will give you 1 tied metal, do this with all 8 pieces of bent metal.
• Next you need to combine Tied Metal with Tied metal, this will give you 1 Tied Metal Pieces. do this with all your tied metal so you end up with 4 Tied Metal Pieces.
• Now combine tied metal pieces with tied metal pieces, this will make 1 large tied metal pieces. do this 2 times so you have 2 large tied metal pieces.
• Now simply combine large tied metal pieces with large tied metal pieces, this will make 1 *Shield.
