What does Essence, Substance and Vitality do to a Pickaxe?
I'm still uncertain of what the quality values do (Essence, Substance and Vitality) which of them is more important for a pickaxe.
Because up until now I still don't quite understand how they work, I just average the three qualities believing that the highest would mean a better quality item for mining harder rocks.
Is that right???

it's steel nuggets, by the way, not the bar

Moose combat stats, anyone has any info on that already?

Like the basics, at least: HP, recommended UA, where it stands on the 'food chain' (like... stronger than deer, weaker than boar, etc...)

stronger then boar,deer and horse by far!

Yea, i think it is almost strong like bear. 600+ hp, but can run after punch. Running speed is little bit slower than horse 3 speed.

Is it essence, substance, vitality, or the average of all three?

Nobody has figured it out yet, that I recall. One list of stats show one thing, another shows something else. It doesn't help that it is a black box system and you have to be in just the right spot for your stats to properly test.
