Ruler measurements on
Console.

The Ruler is an autoswinging shortsword /
an informational accessory which aids the precise placement of blocks. It is purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for
10 /
1.
In the Console version, the Ruler displays measurement lines for counting blocks while building. In the
Desktop version and
Mobile version, this effect can always be toggled via the "Ruler On"/"Ruler Off" button in the upper left of the inventory. In the
Old-gen console version, the Ruler displays a grid framework similar to that of the Mechanical Ruler
.
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes[edit | edit source]
Although the Ruler's purpose is primarily referential, it can be reforged to have any of the usual accessory modifiers (like with informational accessories).
Instead of selling for one fifth of its original buy value like most items, it actually sells for one third.
