Check out CRAFT for more information on whittling. You will need a knife or dagger and it will damage it. While this damage can be repaired with a weapon repair kit, it's easier to just use a dagger off a critter, or buy a cheap one from a store that you don't mind using. Otherwise, combat performance will be effected negatively by using a dagger that has been damaged by whittling with it. There are four different types of wood you can find sticks for:cypress, maple, walnut, and bamboo. These are also listed in difficulty order. Even if you have no problem carving something out of cypress, you may have trouble with walnut or even maple. Bamboo can only be found in select locations in the game, while the rest of the woods can be found as close as the Athenian Palace gardens. Please do keep in mind that heavy sticks do not work, so you will have to be specific. Most projects after ball and block will require two steps. The first step to carve it into a ball or a block, the second step to actually carve what you want out of it. If you get stuck, use CRAFT HINT. After you reach a certain skill, you will be able to sell what you whittle for a dinar or so in the Consignment shop in the Northwest Quadrant. What you will get for them is very low, so you may or may not find it worthwhile to actually collect things to sell.
At each new point of whittling, new projects appear on your list. Don't be discouraged by the fact you probably cannot carve the new things… or even remotely close. At 27 points in, I still often mess up on bunny on the below list… which is only about halfway down.
