The Crafted Baseball Bat is a baseball bat carved by hand from a Large Branch. It is a two-handed weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. In a fight it matches the factory Baseball Bat in damage, reach, crit and durability.
It is made with the Carve Bat recipe, which needs a sharp knife or a meat cleaver and Carving 9. It also serves as the base for most of the bat upgrades in the game. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Crafted Baseball Bat swings at normal speed and reaches about one and a quarter tiles. Each hit deals steady damage, with little gap between a weak hit and a strong one. An ordinary zombie usually drops in a few swings. The critical chance is high at 40 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
It is two-handed, so both hands stay on the grip. Higher Long Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. It lasts well, with 15 condition and a low chance to lose a point per hit. The bat suits a reliable main weapon for general fighting. Upgrading it with nails, spikes or a sawblade makes it hit much harder.
Uses
The Crafted Baseball Bat is the base for many upgraded weapons. With a hammer and five Nails it becomes a Baseball Bat with Nails at Carpentry 1. Tin cans, screws and cloth strips make a Baseball Bat - Can-Reinforced at Carpentry 2. Sheet metal makes a Baseball Bat - Sheet Metal Reinforced at Carpentry 4. Railroad spikes, rake spikes, a sawblade or a garden fork head can be fitted at higher Carpentry. At a forge with Blacksmithing 6 it becomes a Baseball Bat with Spikes. A saw cuts it down to a Short Bat. It also burns as fuel.

Repair
The Crafted Baseball Bat has 15 condition. At low skill it loses a point on about 1 hit in 20. The Long Blunt skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2, and epoxy needs Maintenance 3. Epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Notes
- It fights exactly like the factory Baseball Bat.
- Carving one needs Carving 9, so it is a late reward for a skilled woodcarver.
- Every bat upgrade recipe accepts it in place of a factory Baseball Bat.
- It burns as fuel once it is worn out.
