2. Use a Hammer: To collect Quartzite, you’ll need to break the durable stone using a hammer. Ensure you have a hammer equipped or in your inventory.
3. Gather Quartzite: Once you’ve located Quartzite, use your hammer to gather it. Collect as much Quartzite as you can since it has various uses in the game.
