Ashlar Shale

Ashlar is finely cut stone made by an expert mason. Ashlar stone is an especially decorative building material that comes in a variety of styles based on the type of rock used.

Notes

Ashlar Shale is a high-tier decorative stone block crafted by an expert mason, placing it among the finest building materials at tier 5. It is used to construct a variety of upscale furniture and architectural elements—such as benches, chairs, tables, doors, and fireplaces—making it ideal for prestigious rooms that maximize housing value and unlock the highest-tier crafting station upgrades. Because it is produced from specific rock types, a steady supply requires a dedicated mason with access to the appropriate stone resources.
