About

A Tinder Drill can be used to start light in any light-able Structure, such as a Bread Oven, Fireplace, Meat Smoker, Ore Smelter, Pile of Wood, Stove, or Torch. To use a Tinder Drill, select if from your inventory and right-click it on the Structure you want to light. Tinder Drills are consumed when they start a Fire, and also have about a 50% chance to break before a Fire is successfully lit. Using a Tinder Drill quickly drains Phlegm, and, if it breaks, it damages Blood.

Tinder Drills are an unreliable way to start Fires. Most pilgrims use Tinder Drills to light a Fireplace or Stove and keep that fire going by continually adding fuel and using that to light a Torch when additional Fires are required.

Alternatively Flint & Steel can be used to light a Fire. It has a 100% to light a Fire and never breaks, but only has 10 uses.

A Precious Soot-Flake is be obtained by chance when lighting a Fire with a Tinder Drill or Flint & Steel. Flint & Steel has a greater chance of producing a Precious Soot-Flake than a Tinder Drill.
