Mechanics Skill Book
Notes
The Mechanics Skill Book is a research item crafted at a Research Table using research papers and other resources, unlocking the Mechanics specialty tree. Once crafted, right-clicking the book produces unlimited Mechanics Skill Scrolls that any player can read to gain access to the specialty. A practical tip: because one book suffices for the entire server, researchers should craft it early and share or sell scrolls so others can learn Mechanics without each needing their own book.
