If you’re trying to find bones for crafting and wondering why they're playing hard to get, this guide is for you. Let’s dig in—pun totally intended.

Bones are an advanced resource in Aloft used to make tools and other goodies. They’re mostly found in specific biomes, making them a rare but essential find. Crafting with bones can lead to some powerful tools and materials.

Obtaining Bones

Bones don’t grow on trees—thankfully. You’ll need to go exploring to find them. Here’s the lowdown:

1. Where to Look: Head to the third biome, often called the Red Cliffs or desert biome. It’s far out on the map, so pack snacks.

2. What to Spot: Bones show up as skeletal remains scattered in this dusty landscape. They’re hard to miss unless you’re the kind of person who walks into walls.

3. How to Collect: Just walk up and pick them up. You can only carry a couple at a time, so don’t go expecting a skeleton army in your backpack.

Uses for Bones

Once you’ve gathered some bones, it’s time to put them to work. Here's what you can craft:

1. Bone Hammer:

   • Recipe: 1 carved wood + 1 waxed rope + 1 bone

   • Handy for smashing things. Or, you know, hammering.

2. Bone Pickaxe:

   • Recipe: 1 carved wood + 1 waxed rope + 1 sharp bone + 1 bone

   • Perfect for mining and looking cool while doing it.

3. Sharpened Bone:

   • An ingredient needed to craft other advanced tools.

Other Notes

• If you find skeletal remains in the first or second biome, enjoy them while they last. Once you repair the ecosystem, those bones will vanish faster than free snacks at a party.

• Bone meal? Forget it. You can’t grind bones in the millstone anymore. It seems the devs wanted to crush our dreams, but not the bones.

Final Blurb

To get bones in Aloft, head to the Red Cliffs biome, look for skeletal remains, and pick them up. Use bones to craft powerful tools like the Bone Hammer and Bone Pickaxe. Don’t bother with bone meal—it’s gone for good.

Now go forth and gather those bones! Just try not to think about whose skeletons they are.
