Craft a Simple Mining Pick
The first thing you will want for the process of getting glass in Nightingale is making a Simple Mining Pick. Starting off, you’ll need a Simple Tanning Station. To access it, go into your Recipes Menu and look for the option that says Crafting: Basics & Repair.
Select the Place Button and place the Tanning Station wherever you want. After that, you’ll need to built it with the following materials:
- x6 Sticks

After that, interact with the Tanning Station. Select the option that says Straps. Craft at least two Straps by converting Hide (that you can get from animals) into Straps.
Once that’s taken care of, you’ll need to build another station. This is the Simple Workbench that you can also find in the Crafting: Basics & Repair Section of the Recipes Menu.
Place it down too and build it with the following materials:

After that, you want to locate Raw Gem Nodes that can be found all around the world of Nightingale. You can recognize them by the large crystals of Quartz coming out of them. Simply mine them with your Simple Mining Pick and collect all the broken pieces.
