This information is from the alpha build of Landmark and is subject to change.

The advanced building tools in EverQuest Next Landmark are designed to put power at your fingertips, allowing you to reshape and manipulate voxels in amazing ways. In this edition of Making Our Mark we'll take a look at the Line Tool!

By this point we've covered everything you'll need to create your Selection Tool, as well as the Paint and Smoothing tools. The Line Tool is currently the final tool in our aresenal and will require a lot more crafting stations, picks and resources, building on where you leave off with the Paint and Smooth tools.

The advanced building tools in EverQuest Next Landmark are designed to put power at your fingertips, allowing you to reshape and manipulate voxels in amazing ways. This week we'll take a look at the Smooth and Paint tools!

Making Our Mark: Obtaining the Selection Tool

This information is from the alpha build of Landmark and is subject to change.

You discover early on in EverQuest Next Landmark that you don't begin with every building tool and have to climb some ropes to obtain the more powerful ones. The Add, Delete and Heal tools are easily made, but what about one of the first powerful building tools--the Selection Tool?

This tool allows you to select a size volume, whether it be of existing material or emptiness, and add or subtract to it as you need. The amount of materials consumed are relative to the size selected, so you can easily spend 30,000 or more of a material with a medium-sized volume. We recommend adding a very common material such as dirt or stone when filling a volume, and save those rarer resources for when you obtain the Paint Tool later on.

To make a Selection Tool you need several Tier 2 materials, which means you'll need to upgrade your picks. To upgrade to the appropriate pick (Iron), follow this path (subject to change):

Yesterday afternoon we put a call out on Twitter for some tips and hints to share with the EverQuest Next Landmark community.
