Mixing stick

For the item used to mix crucibles, see Stirring Rods.

Mixing sticks are crafting tools used in the various techniques in the Alchemy craft. They are used in conjunction with a bowl or jar.

See Crafting Tools for details.

Creation and Repair

Mixing sticks can be created using forging techniques that fall under the Blacksmithing discipline.

Likewise, their repair falls under the same skills, with standard processes for metal tool repair.

Templates

Mixing sticks use thermal resistance to derive their effectiveness.
(Low carbon steel was used for the durability cap, and covellite was used for speed cap.)
