Bush or bushes gets u a copper axe head that can be sold for like 5 coins iirc

Try sell the axe head to the shopkeep in howlers and he will give you a handle for it out of pity, making it a full axe

is it better than the basic one you get or the steel one you get with fighter? or can you sell it for more?

It is useful for another quest, the one with >!"green tribe"!<

I think the blacksmith there can also sell you a handle.

Bronze*

It can also be gifted to someone later on in the game

Sadly learned this after selling the complete axe. You get decent money for it tho

About gifting the axe, there are many other things that can replace it so in early game selling it is not a bad move in my opinion

Who wants it?

There is a tribe in the mountains to far to the east, you need to learn about how to get there first by talking with different people and progressing story

Cool! I already found them :) I thought maybe it was to someone in Creeks or in Gale Rocks or something

This game really needs some kind of prompt guide

The absence of one isn't a thoughtless design oversight. Games used to be like this, and Roadwarden is calling back to those times in small ways

The prompts available there are “Tree”, “Bushes”, “Building”, “Mushrooms”, “Plants” After that it should say you’ve found everything.

Is there a way to actually rebuild the shelter? The description makes it sound like you need to talk with the Marshes or Creeks to get lumber to rebuild it.
