Crafting Mission

* *See also: Mission.*

Missions listed below in the order of increasing difficulty.

## Gore Trimmer Mission Chain

This chain will unlock the crafting recipe for tradeble once **[ Gore Trimmer ]**, a Unique Chainsaw.

* To start the mission chain, find Wandering Survivors somewhere inside Greywood Star Hotel (there are 4 of them, with 2 per room, each room is random every day but usually on 1F, sometimes on 2F and rarely on 3F), and interact with them until one of them starts talking normally. Note that you may need to interact with them from around 10 to 400 times before this happens.
* One of them, specifically Sackhead, will ask you to find one of their squad members, **Gore Wizard** inside Palehaven City's Archives.
* Optionally, prepare to kill a Hysteric boss inside.
* After entering Palehaven City's Archives, the location is **Lobby - LDD - SDA** (from the lobby go into the left double door, and then single door ahead), you'll find Gore Wizard there, which is already dead.
* Interact with the corpse to get non-tradeable **[ Gore Wizard's Broken Chainsaw ]**.
* Optionally, you may wait in the room for up to 5 minutes to meet **Hysteric** boss that killed Gore Wizard (for me it entered the room after 3m 30s, but it is random and may be a bit less or more than that). It's a basic Hysteric but with more health than normal, and it will drop no loot when killed.
* Come back to Sackhead, he will reward you with the non-tradeable **[ Unstable Gore Trimmer ]** chainsaw, which is used in the Gore Trimmer crafting recipe, until then you can optionally equip and use it as a weapon.
* Talk with the other Wandering survivors, you will have to help them so that you can earn non-tradeable 20x **[ Premium Coin ]** by repeatedly doing 3 daily quests from them. You may do as few or as many of the quests every days as you like with each completed quest awarding 1 Premium Coin per day (note that the 3 quests are reset on each daily reset), which are:
	+ Get 15x **[ Salvaged Scrap Pieces ]** (you will have to read **[ Council's Memo ]** before being able to craft salvaged scrap pieces, equip head, hands and weapons with **Find Book Chance** bonuses to find it faster; Salvaged Scrap Pieces are crafted from either Damaged Weapon x 1 or Damaged Vehicle Parts x 1).
	+ Kill 400 any zombies (taking an active part in Outpost Defenses makes this easy).
	+ Do 14 Challenges, aka. Purple Zones.
* After collecting 20 Premium coins, give them to Sackhead, he will reward you with non-tradeable **[ Sackhead's Journal ]**, a book which will unlock the crafting recipes of both tradeable once **[ Gore Trimmer ]** and non-tradeable **[ High Grade Chainsaw Parts ]**.
