Rod of carving

Rod of carving in the hands of a player

The useful question about Rod of carving is not merely "what is its ID?" The registry answers with 7 identifiers beginning with 25995-25998, then adds Range, Shoot Type, Weapon Type, and Weight and a weapons role that still depends on the deployed ruleset.

Rod of carving carries the promise of a stronger hit, but attack is only the first line of the decision. Handedness, skill type, range, defense, level gates, ammunition, speed rules, and elemental behavior shape how the weapon actually feels.

No indexed monster definition names Rod of carving as direct corpse loot. The silence is useful because it narrows the next search to quests, NPC trades, map rewards, crafting, events, stores, and action scripts instead of encouraging an invented hunting route.

Rod of carving identity and identifiers

Rod of carving appears in the pinned item registry under 7 concrete identifier values. This page groups definitions that share the exact source name so readers can compare alternate graphics, transformation states, map variants, or legacy identifiers without treating each numeric ID as a different search topic. The identifiers are engine references, not proof that every Open Tibia server exposes every variant to players.

Attributes and mechanical meaning

Rod of carving is classified here as weapons from its name and declared XML attributes. The XML entry establishes the identifiers and attributes shown here, while interaction behavior can also come from the binary item registry, movement events, actions, and server scripts. Exact behavior can be supplemented or overridden by the server binary, the OTB item registry, Lua actions, movement events, decay handlers, imbuement systems, or custom upgrade code.

Acquisition and recorded loot sources

No monster XML file in the pinned profile lists Rod of carving as direct loot. That does not establish that the item is unobtainable. It may be awarded by a quest, NPC trade, map placement, reward chest, crafting system, action script, event, store, or custom content module. A server-specific guide should name one of those primary acquisition sources before presenting a method as verified.

Progression, use, and comparison

Evaluate Rod of carving against alternatives in the same weapons class by comparing only attributes that the active server actually implements. For combat equipment, attack, defense, armor, elemental protection, skill modifiers, vocation restrictions, level requirements, charges, and weight can all change the practical result. For world objects and general items, the decisive behavior is more often an action, movement event, unique ID, or map placement that cannot be inferred from the display name alone.

• Confirm the live item identifier before importing Rod of carving into an editor, script, reward, or shop.
• Compare XML attributes with the deployed OTB registry and any upgrade, tier, imbuement, or rarity layer.
• Trace acquisition through monster files, NPC scripts, quest scripts, reward containers, and map placements.
• Test equip, use, decay, trade, loss, and persistence behavior on the target server profile.

Reference boundary and change control

A correction to this entry should cite the exact deployed item definition, commit, server documentation, or reproducible live test. Screenshots can show appearance or a tooltip, but they do not independently prove hidden chance values, script branches, or database state. Keeping those evidence layers separate prevents a historical item ID or one server's custom value from being mislabeled as universal Rod of carving behavior.
